Hey #Linux / #Mesa / #gallium folks,
I'm having a problem where I can't start any graphical user interface, whether it's wayland or x11 because the driver files given by mesa don't have the __driDriverExtensions symbol
Anyone know how to deal with this? I'm on #AlpineLinux / #AsahiLinux. If you have a lot of linux friends, feel free to boost!

#China verschärft die #Exportbeschränkungen für #Batterietechnologien und kritische Rohstoffe wie #Lithium und #Gallium.
Besonders betroffen sind Materialien für #LFP-Batterien, die in #Elektroautos und #Energiespeichern genutzt werden. Eine neue Klausel könnte Drittstaaten zwingen, sich zwischen dem US-Markt und #China zu entscheiden. Die Maßnahme ist eine Reaktion auf US-Sanktionen und könnte globale #Lieferketten weiter belasten.
#Griechenland will #Europa ab 2028 komplett mit #Gallium versorgen, statt #China.👏 https://www.handelsblatt.com/100101810.html?utm_medium=sh&utm_campaign=teilen&utm_source=Twitter&utm_term=web
#China banned exports of a few rare #minerals to the #US. Things could get messier.
#Gallium and #germanium are used to make #semiconductors. Could battery materials be the next target?
This might be only the beginning. China is a powerhouse, and not just in those niche materials—it’s also a juggernaut in #cleanenergy, and particularly in battery supply chains. So what comes next could have significant consequences for #EV and #climate action more broadly.

I've taken the next step on my #AltKeyboardLayout #SplitKeyboard journey where I move from the #Gallium layout to the #Graphite layout. While there is not a huge difference between these two keyboard layouts, the Gallium layout has some punctuation tweaks that might make it easier to type the \( \LaTeX \) code in my lesson handouts.
It was not without some challenges to implement #graphite on my #ZSA #Voyager keyboard though -- I captured some of my journey in this blog article:
https://www.teachmaths.org/20241229_graphite-keyboard-layout/
Chinas jüngste Beschränkungen für den Export kritischer #Mineralien in die #USA, die auf #Gallium, #Germanium, #Antimon und #Graphit abzielen, markieren eine deutliche Eskalation im Tech-#Handelskrieg.
Dieser Schritt ist ein direkter #Gegenschlag der US-Sanktionen gegen chinesische #Halbleiter und unterstreicht die wachsende Spannung zwischen nationaler Sicherheit und wirtschaftlicher Abhängigkeit.
Die #USA müssen nun nach alternativen Quellen suchen.
@GeeTee I love my #ZSA #Voyager! I have the #Gallium layout on it now:
https://www.teachmaths.org/20241002_gallium-keyboard-layout/
I was thinking about switching to the #Graphite layout, which is pretty much the same thing except for some punctuation optimisations. To implement them on the ZSA, we need a QMK feature called "Key Overrides". I tried installing a tweaked version of the QMK firmware to enable this feature, but it causes the keyboard to crash the first time I hit any key. I'll get the the bottom of it eventually, but for now I'm pretty happy with Gallium.
BTW, I migrated my blog from #Wordpress to #Emacs #OrgMode. All the articles came across ok, but it has broken the old links, and it might take Google a little while to learn what the new links are.
China has banned US exports of key minerals for computer chips – leaving Washington with limited options

Chinese curbs on exports of three niche metals to the U.S. have already rattled the market. Now, a bigger clampdown looks set to have far-reaching ramifications for American defense and chipmaking industries. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2024/12/23/markets/metal-markets-chinese-clampdown/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #markets #metals #batteries #electricvehicles #semiconductors #china #mining #us #trade #tech #gallium #germanium #antimony #solar #renewables
#China produces 98% of the world’s supply of #gallium and 60% of germanium, acc. to @USGS - It dominates a host of other so-called #rareearth minerals — they are not so much rare as a hassle to extract - used in everything from F-35 fighter jets to night goggles to #electricvehicles
Die #NATO hat eine Liste mit den 12 verteidigungskritischen Rohstoffen heraus gegeben. Soweit ich das sehe sind die Rohstoffe gelistet nach der Wehrwichtigkeit und nicht nach dem Versorgungsrisiko, sonst würde mich der erste Platz mit #Aluminium überraschen. Weniger überraschend sind auf jeden Fall die weiteren Rohstoffe wie #Beryllium, #Cobalt, #Gallium, #Germanium, #Graphite, #Lithium, #Manganese, #Platinum, #REE, #Titanium und #tungsten

Pricing for key chipmaking material hits 13-year high following Chinese export restrictions — #China's restrictions on #Gallium exports hit hard
China is the primary global supplier, accounting for 94% of gallium production. Prices rose to $595 per kilogram, a 17% increase over the previous level on December 11, the highest price since 2011. This sharp increase follows China's latest export ban of critical minerals to the US, including gallium, #germanium, and #antimony.

What #China’s critical #mineral ban means for the #US
In explicitly cutting off, rather than merely restricting, materials of strategic importance to the #semiconductor, #defense, and #electricvehicle sectors (#gallium, #germanium, #antimony), China has clearly crossed a new line in the long-simmering #tradewar. The nation has signaled it’s prepared to hit back harder still, in ways that could inflict serious #economic pain on its biggest economic rival.

#China bans export of key #minerals to #US as trade frictions escalate
China has banned exports to the #UnitedStates of items related to the minerals #gallium, #germanium and #antimony that have potential military applications, it said on Tuesday, a day after Washington's latest crackdown on China's chip sector.
Gallium and germanium are used in #semiconductors, while germanium is also used in infrared technology, #fibreoptic cables and #solar cells.

Projection de l’impact de l’arrêt de l’exportation de métaux critiques chinois vers les États-Unis d’Amérique, selon l’USGS
▶️ […] the researchers estimate there could be a $3.4 billion decrease in U.S. GDP if China implements a total ban on exports of gallium and germanium, minerals used in some semiconductors and other high-tech manufacturing.
