Maybe - just maybe! - Apple should've thought about these "grave irreparable harms" before maliciously not-complying with a court order and then lie about it to the judge...?

#Referendum, da #Conte a #Schlein: “Votate in massa”.
“Non è un militante, è il presidente del Senato. Ed è davvero grave che la seconda carica dello Stato inviti a disertare le urne: tradisce un principio costituzionale che fissa il voto non solo come diritto, ma anche come dovere civico”, dice la segretaria del #PD #EllySchlein. “Non fate come #LaRussa. Andiamo a votare in massa”, ha detto il presidente del #M5s #GiuseppeConte.

You ever gave up on something then read a blog and wondered if the answer to why something didn't work was in said blog ?
Well I couldn't get Xorg to display correctly on my Dell Optiplex 3080, its screen was broken up but you could make things out ish. Anyway I stumbled upon @joel@piou.foolbazar.eu blog titled "OpenBSD Workstation for the People" and found this section.
tumfatig.net/2024/openbsd-work…
Now my GPU is an Intel Comet Lake-S GT2 ( UHD 630 ) and I'm thinking that by installing the package intel-media-driver both xorg and Wayland window managers would have worked correctly. So what to do ? Is what I've discovered correct ? If so do I give #OpenBSD another shot if the above is the reason that the xorg display was corrupted as it all works fine under #FreeBSD ? 🤔 #RunBSD
OpenBSD Workstation for the People
This is an attempt at building an OpenBSD desktop than could be used by newcomers or by people that don’t care about tinkering with computers and just want a working daily driver for general tasks.www.tumfatig.net

No, intel-media-driver and the older intel-vaapi-driver are related to accelerated video decoding, e.g: for video playback in VLC/mpv.
I'm not sure what version of OpenBSD you were running previously, but if you were on 7.6, it would be worth retrying with 7.7, which has newer kernel drivers ported from Linux 6.12.y.
I started on 7.6 but upgraded to 7.7 and it was still the same unfortunately.
Linux 6.15 Fix Merged For Sizable Performance Regression On Newer AMD CPUs
At the end of April I reported on a significant performance regression affecting newer AMD CPUs and was bisected to a change in the AMD SRSO mitigation handling for Zen 4/5 processors with the Linux 6.15 kernel. The fix for that significant performance regression was merged today ahead of the imminent Linux 6.15-rc6 release...

Many will agree with Scottish Green MSP Gillian Mackay on Labour banning (most) visas for care workers:
'It is extremely cynical politics. Nigel Farage just has to say ‘jump’ & Labour will ask how high. We cannot allow our immigration policy to be set by the far right priorities of Reform & trying to imitate them won’t help anyone....
We can’t allow real people’s lives to be used as pawns in a nasty race to the bottom between Labour, the Tories & Reform'!

Labour’s anti-migrant policies will hammer Scotland’s care sector
Labour’s anti-migrant policies will hammer Scotland’s care sector - Labour's cruel policies will harm the care sector and others.Scottish Greens
If there was a pool of immediately-available suitably trained, skilled and motivated people to draw from, surely the care sector would already be doing so. Cutting off the supply before addressing the demand only works if the consequences are unimportant. As the consequence would be an even greater hole in the social care safety net than there is now perhaps the effort should be to create that pool of workers *before* cutting of the supply, I see no signs of that being done. The obvious, lazy and inevitably favoured solution of coercing unskilled, unmotivated people into jobs requiring huge amounts of emotional and physical commitment would only make things worse for the people who depend on these services and will eventually increase NHS operating costs.
Nun bin ich gespannt, ob der @altbot das Reichstagsgebäude hinter dem Transparent "Antifa bleibt Handarbeit / Gemeinsam dem Faschismus widersetzen!" erkennt.
Was sich hinter der zusätzlich angegebenen instagram-Adresse @widersetzen_berlin alles findet, weiß ich nicht. Ich rufe keine Zuckerberg Seiten mehr bewusst auf.
Erstaunlich und nützlich, dass vieles erkannt wird, aber es sind auch Schwächen erkennbar und eingebildete Details erwähnt. Ein Hype um sog. KI scheint mir immer noch übertrieben.
Das Bild zeigt eine Demonstration in einer städtischen Umgebung, vermutlich in Berlin, da im Hintergrund das Brandenburger Tor zu sehen ist. Eine große Gruppe von Menschen marschiert auf einem gepflasterten Platz, während sie ein großes Banner tragen. Das Banner ist weiß mit roten Buchstaben und enthält die Aufschrift: "ANTI HABEIT HANDAX5CIT GEGENSTÄNDEN IST DAS FASCHISCH WIERSEZIEN!" Die Demonstranten sind in verschiedenen Kleidungsstilen gekleidet, einige tragen Jacken und Hüte, während andere T-Shirts und Jeans. Im Hintergrund sind moderne Gebäude und Bäume zu sehen, und der Himmel ist blau mit einigen weißen Wolken. Die Atmosphäre wirkt friedlich, und die Demonstranten scheinen sich auf ihre Sache einzulassen.
