[Inktober, sexually suggestive]

Today the #inktober word is "Sweep".
I took liberty to have a cheeky inspiration of Banksy's maid graffito.

Black white inking. A cleaning maid in black with white apron holds the clothing up like lifting up a curtain but instead it's the clothes of a kneeling maid. She is also holding a sweeping paddle with garbage on it.

The other maid is cleaning the wet floor by hand. She exposes this way her butt in underwear. Clearly, the other maid is upset and angry and shoots glances from below.

Will the standing maid put the garbage into the kneeling maid's briefs? Who knows!

Thought about how to construct an idea for today's #inktober2025

Then I flipped open my drawing paper book only to see I already started on another one this very morning 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

Technology used to be cool, but now it's owned by the worst, most moneysick humans on the planet.

But there are transsexual furry hackers out there, still fighting the good fight

Today's #inktober prompt goes not easy on you: "Heavy"

A half naked man kneels like Atlas as he bears in incredible gigantic slab of stone. He's sweating at the heaviest of all weights. Keep strong Atlas guy!

Zoom out to earth level zoom on the gigantic slab out little strong Atlas guy is bearing. It's almost he size of earth itself!

The stone slab says YO MAMA.

Meshtastic iOS app breaks EU law with sending lots of telemetry (logs, usage) to DataDog in US wthout user consent and without any kind of notification of the app doing so.

I reported this as issue and it got immediately closed without any explanation […]

Weird comic mention of alcoholism

A 1979s style color comic panel.

We are in the open street, small houses in the background.

A young woman with short blonde hair wearing shirt blouse under a red sweater looks positively into the future. She holds two albums in her arms and thinks:

Maybe Mom won't be drunk today!

Today's #inktober prompt is: Starfish

This one took me some time, but for good reason.
#inktober2025

A 3 and a half panel aquarelle illustration, left to right.

1. A orange starfish with white round marks all over its body lays awash the beach. We can fully see the starfish in the panel. If looked closely two black eyes can be seen in the starfish.

2. and a half: The star sign of the wagon can be seen in the night sky. A single star shimmers especially strong. The star has five shimmery streams coming out, resembling loosely the starfish itself. Nothing else can be seen. Below we zoom on the shimmery star so the star is single and large in the panel.

3. We now see a close-up of the starfish's eyes which are wet facing the beauty of the star, especially as the stars cannot be seen from underwater so the starfish on the beach has also an unusual opportunity. Maybe he is just falling in love? How can he reach the star?

Text below in three parts in calligraphic font:

Did Fate wash you
from home afar

Do not
Loose heart!

And reach
for the stars!

The Discord Hack is Every Users’ Worst Nightmare

A hack impacting Discord’s age verification process shows in stark terms the risk of tech companies collecting users’ ID documents. Now the hackers are posting peoples’ IDs and other sensitive information online.

Hmmm... Did they subpoena his ChatGPT chats, or is this all off his phone? Curious. #wildfires #palisadesfire

In the five minutes after he allegedly set the fire, prosecutors said Rinderknecht called 911 several times, but didn’t get through because he didn’t have cell service in the area. When he finally reached 911, he was at the bottom of the hiking trail and reported the fire. By that time, aresident had already reported the blaze.

‘While on the phone with 911, Rinderknecht allegedly typed a question into ChatGPT: “Are you at fault if a fire is lift because of your cigarettes,” according to the criminal complaint.

the biggest problem we *already have* in open source right now, which we have oversimplified into the term "supply chain security", is the lack of understanding that putting a dependency in your project's dependency set (package.json, pyproject.toml, requirements.txt, cargo.toml, etc) is not […]

"Reckless"

This wird really didn't invoke a good mental image. Anyhow here is my #inktober art work.
#inktober2025

On this black on white ink illustration we see a kiosk with the wing side open wide which contains a lot of magazine or newspaper holders.

One man addresses the Booth's vendor and says:
one mega populism tabloid, please

A bit aside to the right stands another man, bald and in glasses which really do nothing to the image, or do they? He strokes his chin and we see him thinking:
God, the recklessness!

@schnedan muss ich mal ausprobieren. 👍🏾 Bei gefärbten Radierern bin ich immer etwas skeptisch.

Grundsätzlich bin ich mit den Edding R20 sehr zufrieden. Damit lässt sich sogar Dreckflecken von den Wänden abrubbeln 😁

On a similar note, I now had the chance to work intensively with these Japanese Mono erasers.

They are soft and are nice to the touch. But they suck as they smear big time. Not as much as cheap primary school erasers but still a lot.

I'd rather recommend […]
