@marcan In an ideal world all graphics drivers should work the same for the developer/end user. If code works for Nvidia, AMD and Intel, then it should work for others. A working graphics isn't just compliant with APIs, but it is also optimized/accounted for common tasks. It's not easy to convince someone to make "workarounds" for a driver that makes up less than 1% of users. It only makes sense if any new drivers from the big three are going to be written in a similar way to the Asahi. The problem is that nobody is going to do that for the sake of backwards compatibility.

PSA: Mac OS 15.2 breaks Time Machine backups. A friend had his entire backup history blown away by Time Machine. If backups are important to you, wait for 15.2.1 or beyond.

SuperDuper and CarbonCopyCloner are similarly affected. Just avoid the update if you can. If you’ve already updated, disconnect your backup disk so it doesn’t get clobbered. #macOS #Apple

Really quite partial to these covers designed in the 1960s and early 1970s by Erwin Poell for n+m, Naturwissenschaft und Medizin, the in-house magazine of German pharma company Boehringer Sohn.

The Free Lossless Audio Codec (#flac) is now an IETF standard!

Thanks to everyone who worked to document and clarify this important format for sound and music archive and exchange on the internet, to Martijn van Beurden for maintenance of the reference implementation, and to Josh Coalson for originally publishing his work for everyone to use.

Only no_std and very untested, but can at least compile very basic rust crates for M68k now using llvm trunk and lightly patched rustc. no_core or inline asm shenanigans no longer required!
