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.

in reply to 👺кину奇诺[流浪者]👹

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.

Kyiv. Metropolitan.
People are hiding from Russian missiles and drones.
Imagine: a night spent on the cold floor of a subway station. Nearby — small children, scared, not fully understanding why they’re not sleeping in their warm beds at home.
And in the morning — time to get up. Not to go home. Not to rest. But to go to work.
Because life doesn’t stop.
We have to live. We have to work. We have to hold on.

🇳🇴 Norway is ready to significantly boost funding for Ukraine’s air defense, PM Jonas Gahr Støre announced. The move is being coordinated with Germany, as both countries already closely cooperate in producing air defense systems and ammunition for Ukraine. He also noted that Norway and Germany are discussing the delivery of additional Patriot systems—but emphasized that broader partnership and U.S. involvement are key.

GNOME Dconf video:

Device manager lets you see all the components of your PC, and the devices plugged into it. It lets you check for drivers, fix various problems, set some options, and view some logs related to your devices.

On Linux, this thing has no equivalent. We do have a third party app called HardInfo, but it's not an actionable application. In KDE, you have the same thing, with the Info Center.

Device manager is an important tool on Windows, and it would have a LOT of uses on Linux as well. I wish we had something like that.

Linux runs services in the background, for printing, bluetooth, network, virtualization, the graphical server or compositor, and a lot more things, generally managed by systemd on most distros.

And almost no Linux desktop has a complete graphical user interface to manage these services, turn them on or off, enable one at startup or not, or view logs related to this service.

On GNOME, you have an extension called systemd-manager, but no way to configure them, or select options, or enable autostart. On KDE, you have a services page in the settings, but you can basically just start and stop them, no other action is available.

As far as I know, only OpenSUSE has a decent services manager, that is baked into YAST, their configuration tool.

On Windows, the services app might look like it's 20 years old, which it probably is, but it lets you start and stop services, select if you want to start them manually, or at boot, or completely disable them, and it lets you set policies for various services failures, like restarting the computer, restarting the service, or opening another program.

Another thing that is not entirely available in our desktop environments is a graphical tool to configure the firewall, and general system security.

KDE has a config module in their settings, so that's handled. And yet again, OpenSUSE has a firewall config tool in Yast, which works really well.

For GNOME, there are third party tools you can install, depending on the firewall the distro uses, like firewall-config for firewalld, but these are rarely provided by default.

Linux desktops also don't really have an equivalent to the Windows "security center". GNOME has the basics of such an implementation, with their device security page, but it's not actionable.

Anyway, we could add here some information depending on certain libraries, apps, and kernels we use, if vulnerabilities have been detected, we could have access to the firewall settings, apps that have incorrect permission...

And then we have backups. A lot of distros ships with a third party backup tool, like Déja Dup, or Timeshift, but they generally only ship one or the other. We sort of need a complete solution that works ideally for both.

What I'd want is to right click on a file in my file manager, and have a "versions" menu item. What I'd like is a system settings option, native to the desktop environment, that lets me configure a backup, and restore it.

The windows registry is a horrible, horrible thing. It's illegible, it's super messy, modifications can result in a horrendously broken system, and generally it's better left alone.
But it does surface a LOT of options for applications and the system. And not all Linux desktops have an equivalent.

GNOME has dconf, which has a lot of various settings you can tweak. KDE doesn't have that.
Yast has a bunch of additional configurations available graphically.

The starkest contrast of the 20th century is how China's socialist development led to the greatest sustained increase in life expectancy and quality of life, while capitalist reforms led to the greatest measurable reduction in life expectancy in post-Soviet countries.

The Hierarchical Reasoning Model is a brain-inspired architecture with two recurrent modules: a slow, high-level planner and a fast, low-level one for computation. With only 27M parameters and ~1000 training examples, it excels at complex reasoning without pre-training or Chain-of-Thought.

HRM significantly outperforms larger models in benchmarks and solves complex Sudoku and mazes where CoT methods completely fail.

She probably always blamed the subway for her being late and it wasn't her fault because she can't afford to live closer to work and is forced to live in a minority neighborhood that is far from her job.

Having worked in the subway I see it all the time. It should take 30 minutes door to door if everything goes perfect, so they leave 30 minutes before they're supposed to be at work.

Duygular, ahlaki kararlarda “güvenilmez” midir?

  1. Kantçı Rasyonalizm: Duygular Güvenilmezdir
    Immanuel Kant, “Ahlak Metafiziğinin Temellendirilmesi” (1785) ve “Pratik Aklın Eleştirisi” (1788) eserlerinde, duyguları ahlak dışı saymasa da ahlaki kararlar için yetersiz bulur:

Heteronomi Sorunu: Duygular (sempati, nefret, korku) dışsal veya içsel uyaranlara bağlıdır; özerk iradeyi zedeler.
Evrensellik Eksikliği: Duygular kişiye ve duruma göre değişir, oysa ahlak yasası (kategorik imperatif) nesnel ve evrensel olmalıdır.
Çıkar Karışması: “İyilik yaparken mutlu olmak” bile, eylemi çıkara dayalı hale getirebilir.
Örnek: Birine sırf “acıdığınız için” yardım etmek, Kant’a göre ahlaki değildir; çünkü bu, duygusal bir rastlantıdır. Oysa aynı eylem, “insan onurunu koruma” ilkesiyle yapılırsa ahlakidir.

  1. Hume’cu Duyguculuk: Ahlak Duygular Üzerine Kuruludur
    David Hume, “Ahlak Üzerine Bir İnceleme” (1751) eserinde, Kant’ın tam aksine ahlakın temelinin duygular (sentiment) olduğunu savunur:

“Akıl, tutkuların kölesidir”: Hume’a göre ahlaki yargılar, mantıksal çıkarımla değil, sempati ve nefret gibi duygusal tepkilerle oluşur.
Yararlılık İlkesi: Bir eylemin iyi veya kötü olduğunu belirleyen şey, toplumsal fayda ve duygusal onaydır. Örneğin, adalet kavramı, insanların “haksızlığa öfke duyması” sayesinde gelişmiştir.
Evrensellik Duyguda Aranmalıdır: Hume, evrensel ahlakın insan doğasındaki ortak duygularla (örneğin, acıya sempati) temellendirilebileceğini savunur.
Örnek: Birini kurtarmak, “onun acısını hissettiğiniz için” ahlakidir; Kant’ın dediği gibi “soğuk bir ilke” gerektirmez.

  1. Aristoteles: Duygular ve Erdem Dengesi
    Aristoteles, “Nikomakhos’a Etik” (MÖ 4. yy) eserinde, duyguların kontrol edilmesi gerektiğini savunur:

“Altın Ortalama”: Öfke, korku, sevgi gibi duygular, aşırıya kaçmadan kullanıldığında erdemli hale gelir.
Pratik Bilgelik (Phronesis): Ahlaki kararlar, akıl ve duygunun dengelenmesiyle alınır. Örneğin, cesaret, korkaklık ile pervasızlık arasındaki dengeyle mümkündür.
Örnek: Adaletli olmak, öfkeyi bastırmak değil, hakkaniyetle yönlendirmektir.

  1. Modern Psikoloji ve Nörobilim: Duygular Olmadan Ahlak Mümkün mü?
    Kant’ın aksine, günümüz psikolojisi duyguların ahlaki kararlardaki kritik rolünü vurgular:

Antonio Damasio (“Descartes’ın Yanılgısı”, 1994): Duygusal hasarı olan hastalar (örn., ventromedial prefrontal korteks lezyonu), mantıklı kararlar alabilir ama ahlaki yargıları bozulur.
Jonathan Haidt (“The Righteous Mind”, 2012): Ahlaki yargılar önce sezgisel/duygusal olarak oluşur, sonra akıl gerekçe uydurur.
Ayna Nöronlar: Empati, başkasının acısını hissedebilme yeteneğiyle doğrudan bağlantılıdır.
Örnek: “Tramvay ikilemi” deneylerinde, insanların çoğu duygusal tepkilerle (örn., birini itmekten tiksinti) karar verir.

  1. Feminist Etik: Duyguların Ahlaki Değeri
    Carol Gilligan ve Nel Noddings, Kant’ın “soğuk evrenselcilik”ine karşı bakım etiğini (ethics of care) savunur:

İlişkisellik: Ahlak, soyut ilkelerden çok, insanlar arası bağlarla (sevgi, sorumluluk) şekillenir.
Duygusal Bağlar Önemlidir: Bir annenin çocuğuna sevgisi, “evrensel bir yasa” gerektirmez; doğal ve ahlaki bir tepkidir.
Örnek: Bir hasta yakını, “sevdiği insanın acısını dindirmek” için yalan söyleyebilir. Kant’a göre bu yanlıştır, ama bakım etiğine göre meşru olabilir.

  1. Sonuç: Duygular Güvenilmez mi?
    Filozof/Görüş Duyguların Rolü Temel Argüman
    Kant Güvenilmez Ahlak, akıl ve evrensel ilkelerle belirlenmeli.
    Hume Temel Ahlak, duygusal onay ve sempatiye dayanır.
    Aristoteles Kontrollü kullanılmalı Erdem, duygu ve aklın dengelenmesidir.
    Modern Psikoloji Kritik Duygusal hasar, ahlaki yargıyı bozar.
    Feminist Etik Merkezi Bakım ve ilişkisellik, duygularla şekillenir.

If they wanted to fake Darwin's existence and if videos did not exist yet

Then they did not need animatronic robots

They could simply write books claiming Darwin existed within the books

And since people would not need to see a video of him, no robot was needed

They could hire a random stranger to pose for a photo of Darwin if they wanted to create someone for photos of what he is claimed to look like

I remember seeing fossilized footprints in rock formations, outside. Not entirely outside the realm of possibility that they may have been put there, but I think old records of fossil hunts strongly substantiates the claim that they were there before people.

That said, there is NO solid evidence linking oil to fossils. "Fossil fuels" is a forced meme, and based on first principles, it's more likely that oil is a natural formation resulting from carbon and hydrogen in the earth being squeezed together by tectonic pressure.

I start with the assumption that most news that has a large scale reach is fiction made by a propaganda writing team

And later people compile old news articles or now videos and audio to figure out history

So much of history is potentially compiled fiction that was called News in the past

Sometimes small scale news is real, but people are less likely to use the budget or effort to mass propagate news on a large scale unless it benefits them as propaganda
