The image depicts a landscape scene during sunset, with a dramatic sky filled with dark, heavy clouds. The sun is partially visible, casting a bright orange and yellow glow through a break in the clouds, creating a striking contrast against the darker sky. In the foreground, there is a small town with houses featuring various roof colors, including white, red, and brown. The town is surrounded by fields and agricultural land, with some trees scattered throughout. The horizon shows a gentle rise in the land, with a few hills visible in the distance. The overall atmosphere is one of a calm evening, with the interplay of light and shadow adding depth to the scene.

@black6 @Richard yeah, it’s nuts… at the start of the year we had 5 QE’s in my dept (including the dept manager) and were looking to hire one to replace someone who had retired in Dec.
Now, at the end of this week, with me moving over to a “corporate quality role” we are down to 1 site QE, and the dept. has been w/o a manger since Feb.
I think the corporate director is not great at hiring. He hired the manager, who he ended up firing. He hired (2) QEs, one had mental issues And was fired, one was a tranny looking for special treatment and just quit. I guess you could say both had mental issues. Oh, and there was another guy who he hired who lasted just under a year before he resigned. That dude was a bit of a head case as well.
One of the positions I'm trying to fill was vacated by a tranny who quit right before I took over the team. Dodged that bullet. I never would have hired someone confused about their own gender to work in a PSM-regulated manufacturing facility. @Richard
@scottdhansen the manager got fired. He and the director were not aligned on what they felt the duties of the dept. should be. He wanted to focus on our mfg site solely and push all the supplier issues to the guy we hired to be the SUPPLIER QE. The director didn’t see it that way, and when asked to change how he was managing (basically have us do more things that didn’t really apply to our dept) he said nope, which got him walked out.
I forget how Wisconsin goes but Illinois is an at will state. I would think the Director will land on their feet despite the way things went. Our Quality director made many trips to places you probably never want to go (CN, TW, NL, UK, MX) to see manufacturing / supply hubs. He was a pompous ass. Let me know if you want me to check to see if he's still in the game (He was older than me). I can creep on his linked in.
one of the few things I know about my eccentric great-grandfather is that in summer he had a boy carrying his ice chest with cooled drinks each time he went out. he wouldn't leave the house without it. tbh it sounds like he was alcoholic

The Arch Linux team have reported the discovery of malware in the project’s community repository, the Arch User Repository. “On the 16th of July, at around 8pm UTC+2, a malicious AUR package was uploaded to the AUR. Two other malicious packages were uploaded by the same user a few hours later. These packages were installing a script coming from the same GitHub repository that was identified as a Remote Access Trojan (RAT). The affected malicious packages are: librewolf-fix-bin, firefox-patch-bin, zen-browser-patched-bin” Anyone who has installed these compromised packages should remove them and be aware their systems were potentially open to malicious, remote access.

Hiding the truth for the "greater good" is one of the most cowardly, disingenuous, and sleazy moves a person can make. That politicians and bureaucrats make it daily is one of my major sources of disrespect toward those classes.
Anything that can be destroyed if the truth comes out, deserves to be destroyed when the truth comes out.
I agree that it's important to be confident that what you say is true before saying it. That's part of having integrity. It's also important to understand the difference between truth and belief - something most people today are very terrible at.
That said, I will *always* favor disclosure. It's far worse to hide the truth than to say something and be wrong about it. The latter can be fixed with open discussion and education. The former has no civil solution.
> there are onion layers of truth
With all due respect, this is rhetorical bullshit. There is only the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If you're splitting it into "onion layers", you're not telling the whole truth. That's also called "lying by omission".
@relentless_eduardo Revising your hypotheses in the face of conflicting data is a critical part of the scientific method. In fact, being unwilling to do so is just as intellectually dishonest as lies of omission.
exactly. we can take as an example pedophilia. If we learn new facts that militate towards its harmlessness, integrity requires us to admit and internalize that.

Let's start with Activities, something KDE never really talks about or promotes in any way.
An Activity is a group of virtual desktops. You can switch activities easily with a keyboard shortcut, and they have their own switcher tool. Each activity can have its own name, wallpaper, set of plasma widgets, and virtual desktops.
WHich means you can create a work activity, with a certain set of widgets that let you work more easily, and a less distracting wallpaper, and a personal activity, where you can have all the anime characters you want as a background, different widgets, and even different apps running.
Now let's talk Kwin, the window manager / compositor. You can extend it, thanks to custom Kwin scripts. It can force background blur on certain windows, have sticky window snapping, so you can resize 2 adjacent windows in one go, there's Krohnkite, a script that turns Kwin into a full blown tiling window manager, you can maximize new windows to a new virtual desktop, like on mac OS, or shake a window to minimize all others.
By default, KDE Plasma also has KDE Connect, a wonderful tool that lets you basically replicate what apple does with their iOS and macOS devices: install the companion app on your Android phone, or iPhone, and pair the 2.
And that's just a few things most KDE users probably never even knew existed. There are tons more, like Krunner. Press Alt + space, and you get a full on search box. You can have an application launcher as a right click on the desktop, instead of a context menu. You can apply a whole theme in just one click from the appearance tab. You can replace any plasma widget by another through the "show alternatives" menu item. You can replicate any desktop from any other operating system.
Thing is, no one ever told KDE users they could do that, and that's the main problem with KDE.
Fortunately, KDE devs seem to have understood that problem, because they're already working on a Welcome application: invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-w…
But that doesn't solve our power problem: it only addresses the basics everyone already knows they'll be able to do in any OS. It doesn't tell people about what they can do specifically on KDE.
The welcome app should offer predefined layouts to let people know that this is a capability they have. Or, even better, have a "+" button to let someone create their own layout.
The Welcome app should probably also be the entry point for themes. KDE has a few out of the box, just as a dark or light mode, or midnight mode, but you could also use that opportunity to tell people about the "Get new stuff" buttons that permeate all the customization throughout the desktop.
DIsplay these default all in one themes, and a very visible "get more themes" button right from the start.
The Welcome app is also the perfect entry point to talk about KDE Connect.
For activities, there's a simple path as well. When a user enters the settings for Activities, or maybe uses virtual desktops for a while, you can just prompt them with a small notification, easily dismissed, or just a simple banner in the settings that might be related to virtual desktops.
Same goes for all Kwin scripts and all extensions: instead of hiding the kwin scripts in their own settings page, you could also make them more visible in the default window options.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @aoc.bsky.social · 1h People exploding this false messaging that I voted for a bill + funding that I quite literally voted NO on. The threat environment this morning is scary.
Doesn’t help anyone. Drag me for the position if you disagree but don’t lie. It’s out of control. Saying I voted for this funding is false.
I don't really understand why Westerners consistently lie about China and push fake narratives about the non-existent "social credit score". I don't know what utility it holds nor what it's trying to accomplish…… Maybe domestic propaganda to make citizens feel happier or be more tolerant of their deteriorating conditions at home? Foster sentiments of "well, regardless of the status quo, at least we don't have a 'social credit score' like they do in China!"?
This stuff obviously only works on people who are uneducated or ignorant considering if one was able to read Chinese one could just read the signs and text on images like that attached and immediately know what it was saying vs. trusting some blue-check-mark's narrative on X. This type of propaganda neither works on, nor is targeted towards, Chinese-speakers or people who otherwise know better……
>微信信用分享先充后付
This is basically advertising a WeChat credit feature where users can pay later. So, literally just credit. Like a credit card. Buy now, pay it later.
A quick search online provides the clear answer:
>只要车主的支付分在550分及以上，就能优先享受“先充电、后付费”的服务，不用再提前充值或缴费，整个充电过程更为便捷、高效 >As long as the car owner's payment score is 550 points or above, he can enjoy the "charge first, pay later" service first, without having to recharge or pay in advance, and the entire charging process is more convenient and efficient.
Essentially, this advertisement is saying that on a lot of electric vehicle charging stations users need to pre-pay a set amount either directly or on an account plan: If a user has his/her vehicle plugged in and charging, but the user's balance paid hits zero, then the charging ceases and the user shows up to a car without a fully charged battery---something the user probably wasn't expecting nor wanting. But, if one has a credit score of 550 or higher, one can just pay with WeChat and WeChat will cover the expenses on one's behalf and one just needs to pay WeChat back for however much was charged. Just as if one was putting any ordinary charge on credit.
>先充后付 >Charge first and pay later
It'd be very clear and banal to anyone on 抖音 what this video was advertising. But, of course, someone who doesn't speak nor read 中文 would have no clue! So, Western bad-actors can take clips like this, append to it a fake narrative, and use it to maliciously disseminate falsehoods. I still don't fully understand the "pay off", though.
it is just domestic propaganda. It works because it fits with what people are already primed to believe, and hence they don't even question the absurdity of the claims.
Yeah. But, to what end? Is it to make people arbitrarily hate China? Or, to make people feel better about life in their Western country? Is stuff like this paid for by state entities or done freelance? There a group of people sitting around some think-tank coming up with lies they think they can plausibly get away spreading? Because the more you think about it the more honed-in stuff like this seems. It's not racism, it's not casual internet bigotry, it's specifically geopolitical, it's not accidental, the people spreading this know what they're saying isn't real (the entire account is just anti-Chinese propaganda), and the target audience is clearly non-Chinese-speaking Westerners. So, it's either some individual who just really, really hates China or probably apart of some wider-spread 3-letter-agency financed campaign.
Most people are not happy with the way capitalism functions, but they're told that nothing better is possible. As Thatcher put it, there's no alternative.
The problem with China is that it is a real world viable alternative to neolibealism, and it's becoming increasingly clear that it works better in tangible terms.
Hence it's really important to convince people that China is evil and horrible so they don't start asking the question of why can't we do what they're doing.
Super strange account. 110k followers, virtually zero engagement. All day tweeting horror stories about China, nonstop. Sad to think that stuff like this affects some people.
because Western capital needs to push the idea that socialism = "evil big government" to its own citizens.
It's not meant to enlighten Chinese speakers to a truth about China, it's meant to hide the truth about China and socialism in general from non-Chinese-speakers.
And it is not the only piece, it is part of a wider narrative sold to citizens of the imperial core from birth about the PRC, DPRK, USSR, and all other socialist countries to prevent them from reaching class consciousness.
