Since last week PayPal is deliberately blocking Asahi Linux users

bad: whoever is developing the captcha service apparently doesn't know
Linux on Apple Silicon is a thing, and blacklisted the combination (any
non-macOS User-Agent) + (Apple Silicon GPU). Some browsers, including
Firefox, leak the GPU through WebGL.
A fix (actually, a workaround) for this was included in mesa 25.3, which
migrated to testing a few days ago. After some testing, I will backport
the fix to mesa-asahi in trixie-bananas, so it's also available to
trixie users.
Cheers!
