Long may I continue to be proven wrong.

Turns out it’s nowhere near as complicated as everyone said it would be to change the constitution. All you’ve got to do is buy yourself a Supreme Court.

It might. If some day they don’t control the browser, whoever does control it might be hesitant to build in features that are only there to spy on users for Google. Cookies do at least have some other uses.

Oh shit, Jerry legit blocked it: https://fedia.io/m/fedia/t/1468012/Fedia-reporting-issues-with-specific-servers-e-g-lemmy-ml-lemmy-one-startrek-website/comment/8379246#entry-comment-8379246

It’s unfortunate IMO. I thought it was just some kind of weird mbin problems causing lemmy.ml not to federate, then I mostly forgot about it. Although that server is not without problems I’m sure, it’s a huge piece of the lemmy world to be missing and it’s a pretty small world to begin with.

Why did it get defederated?

“wokism” — now there’s a good clean beautiful American-made word.

Just needs a slight tweak to be a little less historically inaccurate: Nobody has ever been “hunted for sport” by a Zoroastrian.

Okay, you got me. Half an hour reading about all the different types of clouds.

Those things were great. You could make a phone call from almost anywhere without having to carry around a radio tracking device all the time.

xAI and X’s futures are intertwined — they will fall together into the howling void of pain, madness, and leveraged buyout debt, leaving Elon with only his $45 billion dollars for consolation.

Doritos come from a plant? Far out, man.

For $5000 in advance from the DEA I’ll develop any one of these premises into a professional-quality educational video.

I’m sort of tired of articles describing some catastrophe that happened ten years ago and saying “it’s worrying.”

One more idea… If you’re willing to temporarily add the Debian testing “deb-src” repository to your sources.list, which should be slightly safer, then there’s a chance that this might work: https://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation

Seems not completely crazy, unless MX has its own way to do that.

Yeah, I see that MX test is not based on current debian testing (trixie) but also bookworm. So I guess you’ll not find the package in MX repos until it makes it into AHS. Apparently there’s a PPA that some people use, that might work.

Ok, it didn’t seem clear if you were on Debian 12 or MX. I’m not sure what the relationship between them is, but mesa 25 seems to be in trixie only since 13 march.

Maybe you could use that package from debian testing on the MX version of testing if you wanted to live dangerously.

At this point in the debian release cycle your easiest course of action would probably be to switch over to debian testing. It’s quite easy to do if you’re in debian 12 and wanting newer packages is a legit reason to do it. It should be getting reasonably close to being stable by now I would guess.

You’ll need a newer kernel than is currently in debian stable as well, but that is actually quite easy to build and install. Building mesa I don’t know about, but it will have many more dependencies and could be a lot of work.

Huh. I learned about the potholes when I was a kid and saw a couple of them, but had no idea there was such a big region named for them.
