So, the last time Tim Cook bribed Trump (with a $1M donation to his inauguration fund) the Apple tech bros kept telling us that was a personal donation from Cook, not from Apple the company.
What's their line of defense gonna be now that the bribe has a big ass Apple logo on it?

4-panel comic by War and Peas Panel 1: A woman conducts a job interview. She asks the candidate, “So last question: Where do you see yourself in five years?” Panel 2: The candidate imagines a post-apocalyptic world with fire, wrecked cars, and ruined buildings. He’s dressed like a survivalist and holding a rifle. Panel 3: Still in his imagined future, he’s crouched in a desert landscape, aiming a sniper rifle. Panel 4: His crosshairs are locked on a killer robot attacking a terrified woman.
—Vamos —dice al fin el hombre de las sienes plateadas.
La Bety y él cruzan el umbral. Dentro está muy oscuro. Bajan una escalera y ella da un traspiés que no llega a hacerla caer. Las paredes están totalmente cubiertas de carteles de conciertos.
A cada paso, la música de baile se va volviendo más y más ensordecedora.
Está en los dominios de Oleg Olégovich Tanareg. En el umbral no estaba escrito lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate. El interior de La Basílica tiene tres pistas de baile, cada una a su nivel. Hay barandillas metálicas, pasarelas en ángulos improbables, grandes candelabros a diferentes alturas, jaulas con chicas bailando en bikini colgando de los negros muros. Un mar de gente baila en trance. Huele a desinfectante y a sudor. Unos enormes tubos como bocas exhalan chorros de aire frío. Un cartel publicitario de cerveza Totengarten, oblongo, enorme, parpadea en azul y magenta. El nitrógeno líquido flamea en fumarolas como fuegos fatuos.
Este pedazo de tierra olvidada es un exclave de la Rusia Blanca y bien podía estar a miles de kilómetros de esta ciudad o colgada de las nubes o sumergida en el mar interior porque su ubicación es ajena al tiempo y al espacio.
Cuatro tipos como hienas la rodean. Allí, delante de todo el mundo, la cachean con violencia y lascivia. Nadie se inmuta, el ritmo endiablado de la música bascula sobre sus cabezas, los cañones de luz se retuercen como faros desquiciados. La Bety alza las manos, saca del bolsillo la pistola con el índice y el pulgar y se la entrega a alguien.
Una mano firme le arrebata la bolsa.
Quizá esto es el final.

I'm trying a compositor called Wio, i never used Plan9 but if this is how Rio works on Plan9 then i like it, keeping in mind that Wio doesn't implement all the features that Rio has. The most interesting thing about the design of Wio is that when you make a window by defult opens a terminal and in there you run your graphical program, so i'm thinking, wouldn't be neat that you could switch between the terminal and graphical preview, and and then came to my mind "why not allow to do that on the compositor it self" because sometimes happens that the compositor breaks and you are locked in the sence that you can't change to another tty.
Idk i think that would be neat.

L'Apparition (1876), watercolor, 105 x 72 cm., Musée d'Orsay
by Gustave Moreau
Gustave Moreau’s L'Apparition is a haunting and richly symbolic watercolor painting that vividly captures a moment from the biblical story of Salome. In this striking scene, Salome stands transfixed before the vision of the severed head of John the Baptist, which hovers, radiant and bleeding, in the air before her.
Salome is adorned in elaborate, orientalized robes and jewelry that shimmer with color, light, and texture—an opulent reflection of her allure and the decadent atmosphere of Herod’s court. Her expression is one of awe and dread as she gazes upon the miraculous apparition.
The head of John the Baptist floats above a luminous nimbus, glowing with supernatural intensity, contrasting with the dark, richly patterned architectural setting behind.

Leonora Carrington
This evocative photograph captures Leonora Carrington, the British-born Surrealist artist and writer. Carrington appears poised and enigmatic, her expression calm but intense, often with piercing eyes that suggest her deep inner world.
She has semi-long curly hair and wears a lacy midi-length blouse with a skirt (or black pants), her arms wrapped around one of her knees.

Welp. All that lovely "AI" derailment aside, we now have an answer:
It is literally impossible for XScreenSaver to lock the screen under Wayland. Cannot be done. None of the extant, spottily-supported "protocols" will allow the screen to be locked while an Xwayland surface is visible.

I had a small VPS with small filesystem space, and I (temporarily) needed much more. I also had a Wireguard connection from this VPS to a server in my own home under my desk, slow but with plenty of disk space. My home connection was a standard ISP fibre, dynamic IP, but very stable in time. So, I used sshfs from the VPS to mount a folder in my home server. It was not very fast, but got the work done.

Dear friends of the BSD Cafe,
This idea has been in my mind since the very beginning of this adventure, almost two years ago. Over time, several people have suggested it. But until recently, I felt the timing just wasn’t right — for many reasons. Today, I believe it finally is.
So I’m happy to announce a new service: The BSD Cafe Journal.
At first, I thought I’d use BSSG for it (I even added multi-author support with this in mind), but in the end, it didn’t feel like the right tool for the job.
The idea is to create a multi-author space, with content published on a fairly regular basis. A reference point for news, updates, tutorials, technical articles — a place to inform and connect.
Just like people in Italy used to stop by cafés to read the newspaper and chat about the day’s news, the BSD Cafe Journal aims to be a space for reading, sharing, and staying informed — all in the spirit of the BSD Cafe.
The guiding principles are the same as always: positivity, constructive discussion, promoting BSDs and open source in general.
The platform I’ve chosen is WordPress, for several reasons:
This means every author will have their own identity in the Fediverse and can be followed directly, and it’ll also be possible to follow the whole Journal.
Original and educational content is encouraged, but it’s also perfectly fine to link to existing articles elsewhere. Personally, I’ll link my technical posts from ITNotes whenever I publish them there.
The goal is simple: a news-oriented site, rich in content, ad-free, respectful of privacy — all under the BSD Cafe umbrella.
Content coordination will happen in a dedicated Matrix room for authors. There’ll also be a public room for discussing ideas, giving feedback, and sharing suggestions.
Of course, I can’t do this alone. A journal with no content is just an empty shell.
So here’s my call to action:
Who’s ready to lend a hand? If you enjoy writing, explaining, sharing your knowledge — the Journal is waiting for you!

Two crows are flying in front of a gray-blue sky. One says to the other "Do you think we're best friends in other universes too?" The second panel splits into a three by three grid of different reactions of "Um"s and "Well"s from the second crow, in a multiverse sort of way. The third panel is further split again by three, so there are nine by nine squares of the same two crows flying together, the only distinction between the squares is a different sky colour. In the fourth panel, the square are again divided by three so there are now 27 by 27 filling the panel. We can see now that there is a greater pattern emerging from the colours of each square, a pixelated form is starting to emerge. In the fifth panel, the many many squares of different universes is reminiscent of a painting using pointillism, which each dot of colour represent one of many thousands of realities. We can see now very clearly that the pixelated forms are the two crows, flying in front of a gray-blue sky. We return to the visual resolution as we saw in the first panel, as if no time has passed at all. The second crow responds "It doesn't seem likely".
I owe my career to the movie The Big Lebowski.
When I watched it as a young teenager, I wanted to find other people enjoying it so I did my best to setup a PHP forum hosted at home, there were not many choice early 2000 and I struggled a lot to figure how to make apache work with PHP, how to enable port forwarding on my router, how to make mysql work, how to get a domain name (from services like no-ip or dyndns 
).
