@ChristianRiegel @darius Here in the US politicians from all parties have gotten particularly aggressive about fundraising via SMS. I can easily get a dozen or more a day, and looking through my spam folder I see I've gotten up to a 150 messages from a single politician over the last year or so. It's insane.

I've landed the last change needed to enable #WebGPU by default on Samsung devices with an Xclipse GPU (mobile RDNA)! Should be available in Chrome 153, which will be stable in September.

Had three hours to kill in a waiting room today, and to my delight that turned out to be *exactly* enough time to read through the first Murderbot Diaries book.

I get why everyone likes these books now. This is quite possibly the most autistically-coded character of all time.
