The image depicts a serene winter scene at sunset. In the foreground, a tree heavily laden with snow stands prominently, its branches and trunk covered in a thick layer of frost, creating a striking silhouette against the warm hues of the setting sun. The snow on the tree appears textured and uneven, with some branches bending under the weight. The background features a vast expanse of snow-covered ground, with additional trees visible in the distance, also dusted with snow. The sky transitions from a deep orange near the horizon to a lighter yellow as it extends upward, with the sun partially obscured by the tree, casting a soft glow. The overall atmosphere is tranquil and picturesque, capturing the beauty of a winter landscape at dusk.

One of my favorite programs for the Mac is from a company called Objective Development -- Little Snitch -- and it's a host-based firewall that alerts you anytime something on your computer tries to reach the Internet for the first time (or you can set to always ask all the time, which I wouldn't recommend just because of the alert volume). I personally like to know what programs and apps are doing and with whom they are communicating, and this app is a useful if imperfect way of doing that.
The most jarring aspect of Little Snitch is how some programs suddenly phone home but you have no idea what's going on because the requested IP is some shared Amazon cloud server or something. Even after spending a few minutes digging on the IP, you probably still won't find a hostname and you're no closer to gauging whether you should allow the connection or not. But most of the time the program is silent, operating the background to block or allow various connections that you have specified previously.
Anyway, what I wanted to share that's neat about Little Snitch is when you install an app that you've had on your phone or iPad onto your Mac, suddenly you have a much better idea of where (if not who) your apps are communicating with, and maybe even a little more info about what these apps are actually doing in the background.

It is such a great program. I've been using it for years as well.
I also tried out this for Linux inspired by Little Snitch. github.com/evilsocket/opensnit…

The video captures a critical moment in a Premier League football match between Liverpool (LIV) and Arsenal (ARS), with Liverpool leading 1-0 at 87:59. The scene is set in a packed stadium, with the scoreboard prominently displaying the score and time. A player in a red jersey, number 8, is preparing to take a penalty kick. The goalkeeper, dressed in white, is positioned in front of the goal, ready to defend. The crowd is visible in the background, adding to the tension of the moment.
As the player in red takes the penalty kick, the ball is seen in mid-air, heading towards the goal. The goalkeeper dives to his right in an attempt to save the shot. The ball successfully enters the net, changing the score to 1-1. The player in red celebrates the goal, running towards the corner of the field, while the goalkeeper and other players react to the goal.
The video continues to show the aftermath of the goal, with the scoreboard now displaying 88:04. The player in red, number 8, is seen running away from the goal area, celebrating the goal. The goalkeeper and other players are positioned near the goal, with the crowd in the background reacting to the goal. The VAR (Video Assistant Referee) logo is visible in the top right corner, indicating that the goal is being reviewed. The Premier League logo and the Allstate advertisement are also visible on the scoreboard, adding to the authenticity of the scene.

The image features a sepia-toned photograph of a person crouching on a grassy area, holding a whip-like object in their right hand. The individual is wearing a dark leather jacket and dark pants, with a focused expression. In the background, there is a blurred sign with the word "BIRMINGHAM" partially visible, suggesting the location might be near a racetrack or similar venue. Overlaid on the image is a bold, white text quote that reads: "If hard work was so fucking great the rich would have kept it for themselves." The text is in a large, sans-serif font, with a black outline for contrast against the sepia background. The overall composition combines the historical feel of the sepia tone with the modern, provocative message of the text.

The left needs to stop delusionally believing that socio-political "consensus", or social-pressure, is somehow going to be sufficient,
& begin using *aggressive & systematic* citizen-journalism to apply leverage against abuse-enforcing institutions, groups, alliances, etc.
"The Elements of Journalism" is required-reading for understanding the difference between what "journalism" nowadays does, vs what actually is required.
The longer that the left remains within its "our social-pressure will work!" delusion,
the fewer survivors of the current-regime's process there will be.

Europeans seek 'digital sovereignty' as US tech firms embrace Trump
Here are some stats from the article:
"Use in Europe of Swiss-based ProtonMail rose 11.7% year-on-year to March compared to a year ago, according to Similarweb, while use of Alphabet's Gmail, which has some 70% of the global email market, slipped 1.9%.
Similarweb data shows the number of queries directed to Ecosia from the European Union has risen 27% year-on-year and the company says it has 1% of the German search engine market.
Signal, a messaging app run by a U.S. nonprofit foundation, has also seen a surge in installations from Europe. Similarweb's data showed a 7% month-on-month increase in Signal usage in March, while use of Meta's WhatsApp was static."
It would be nice to have more growth statistics from 6 months after the BuyFromEU movement gained momentum. 🙂

The Nobel Prize and a Testy Phone Call: How the Trump-Modi Relationship Unraveled
President Trump’s repeated claims about having “solved” the India-Pakistan war infuriated Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India. And that was only the beginning.

During a phone call on June 17, Mr. Trump brought it up again, saying how proud he was of ending the #military escalation. He mentioned that Pakistan was going to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize, an honor for which he had been openly campaigning. The not-so-subtle implication, according to people familiar with the call, was that Mr. #Modi should do the same.The Indian leader bristled. He told Mr. #Trump that #US involvement had nothing to do with the recent cease-fire. It had been settled directly between #India and #Pakistan.

in reply to Luigi.🇵🇸🇱🇧🇮🇷🇵🇷🇻🇪 • • •The video begins with a view of a wooden door slightly ajar, revealing a glimpse of a brightly lit room. As the door opens further, a cozy bedroom is revealed, featuring a bed with a white frame and a colorful, patterned bedspread. The bed is covered with a yellow blanket, and a person is lying in bed, partially covered by the blanket. A white dog is lying on its back on the bed, looking relaxed and content. The room is well-lit with natural light coming through a window with curtains, and there are pillows with the word "Romantic" visible on the headboard. The scene is calm and serene, with the dog appearing to be in a peaceful state.
The video continues to show the same bedroom, with the person still lying in bed, partially covered by the yellow blanket. The white dog remains on its back, looking relaxed and content. Another dog, with a brown and white coat, is lying on the bed, close to the person. The room remains well-lit with natural light, and the "Romantic" pillows are still visible on the headboard. The scene maintains a calm and serene atmosphere, with the dogs appearing to be in a peaceful state. The video captures a moment of tranquility and companionship between the person and the dogs.
