"Il “sistema Putin” punta, perciò, all'utilizzo di alcuni strumenti culturali, repressivi, linguistici e di governo tipici dell'epoca staliniana. In particolare, facciamo riferimento a cinque temi ripresi con una certa efficacia: la repressione del dissenso e il monopolio dei mezzi di informazione, le pratiche illiberali come la sistematica manipolazione degli strumenti elettorali, la celebrazione del passato russo e delle vittorie militari, il russo-centrismo imperiale e, per ultimo, le politiche familiari di tipo tradizionalista. Si può affermare che alcuni dei punti sopra elencati non sono caratteristiche tipiche dello stalinismo e della Russia, ma anche di altri regimi totalitari o più o meno dittatoriali del XX e del XXI secolo. L'aspetto per noi importante è però che tutti questi costrutti pratici e mentali i russi li hanno ereditati dallo stalinismo, non da altre esperienze storiche da loro lontane nel tempo e nello spazio come il fascismo. In questo quadro concettuale è complesso sostenere che Putin sarebbe un nazionalista neofascista; la tesi qui esposta è, invece, che il presidente russo è un imperialista neostalinista."

How to Get Started with darktable
No matter your experience with raw photo editing, darktable can be intimidating and has a number of unique features which can be hard to understand at first. So just jumping in and flailing around is not a good strategy for learning it. With that in mind, here are my recommendations for getting started properly.
For help and discussion, join the discuss.pixls.us forum, which is the “official” darktable forum and were you'll find the power users and developers. The Play Raw section, in particular, can be a great way to learn.
The Basics
It's important to understand that the workflow and many tools are nothing like in Lightroom or most other raw editors, and trying to fit your old workflow into darktable is almost certainly going to be frustrating. If you have experience color grading video in programs such as Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve, you should find the workflow fairly familiar, though.
The FAQ
Read the new users section before anything else, since that will probably answer some of your questions.darktable.org/about/faq/
Beginner Tutorials
This tutorial is getting a bit old, so some details have changed, but it's still the best for understanding the core workflow: youtu.be/5CmsxxxsMDs
I recommend this tutorial next, since it's more recent, and covers the newer Sigmoid tonemapper: youtu.be/ZUc6LOzg_Nk
By watching those two tutorials, you'll already understand more than some YouTubers making darktable videos... Do not skip them, no matter your previous experience.
The Manual
Keep it handy and don't be afraid to read it. There's a good chance that what you want to know is in there.docs.darktable.org/usermanual/…
Next Steps
There are other YouTube channels and tutorials, of course, but they vary greatly in quality, so these are the only ones I can recommend, without reservations, to new users.
Bruce Williams
Has done a very good job of explaining most features in darktable. His YouTube channel is like an annotated manual.youtube.com/@audio2u
Boris Hajdukovic
The darktable wizard. He's the one to watch to take your editing to the next level and learn all the little tricks.youtube.com/@s7habo

Trump Hosts Tech Titans at White House
President Donald Trump hosted an exclusive dinner at the White House on Thursday evening, attended by leading executives from the world’s top technology companies. The event highlighted the administration’s commitment to strengthening ties with Silicon Valley and underscored its focus on artificial intelligence and domestic investment.
The dinner was originally planned for the Rose Garden but was moved to the State Dining Room due to weather conditions. Despite the change, the atmosphere remained formal and warm. Trump welcomed his guests with praise, describing them as highly intelligent figures and essential partners in shaping America’s economic future.
Elon Musk’s Absence Draws Attention
The guest list included some of the biggest names in the industry, from Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook to Bill Gates and Sam Altman. Yet one absence stood out: Elon Musk. The Tesla and SpaceX chief confirmed he was invited but said he could not attend in person, instead sending a representative. Tensions between Musk and Trump have escalated in recent months following public disagreements, and his absence underscored the widening rift.
Trump offered a pointed remark about Musk, calling him a genius with enormous potential, though he added that there are issues Musk must resolve. The comment reflected the complex relationship between the two men, marked by both respect and strain.
Major Investment Commitments
The central theme of the dinner was investment in America. Trump pressed each executive to state their commitments openly. Meta and Apple pledged to channel investments worth hundreds of billions of dollars. Google announced plans exceeding $200 billion, while Microsoft outlined an annual investment of tens of billions.
OpenAI, represented by CEO Sam Altman, voiced strong support for Trump’s pro-business policies. Altman described the evening as “a refreshing change” and pledged to expand AI certification programs to benefit millions of Americans by 2030.
Bill Gates offered a different angle, emphasizing the role of technology in advancing medical research. He highlighted AI’s potential to accelerate the development of vaccines and treatments for diseases such as HIV and sickle cell. Gates also praised public health initiatives previously launched during Trump’s presidency, framing AI as a crucial driver of future breakthroughs.
A Shift in Relations with Silicon Valley
The gathering marked a turning point in the government’s relationship with the tech industry. In prior years, tensions had flared over regulation and criticism of Big Tech practices. This time, the atmosphere was notably different. Executives not only attended but expressed open appreciation for policies designed to foster innovation and growth.
Trump reinforced the idea that America must remain the global leader in technology. “We want innovation to be born in America, to grow in America, and to benefit the American people,” Trump declared during the dinner.
Politics and Economics Intertwined
Beyond economics, the dinner carried significant political weight. Trump aimed to signal that his administration is not solely reliant on traditional industries but is also aligning with the leaders of technology who are shaping the digital future.
For the executives, attending the White House was a symbol of readiness to work more closely with the administration. For the public, the event was seen as a strategic moment that will influence the trajectory of AI, education, and healthcare across the United States.
Closing Perspective
Elon Musk’s absence was notable but did not overshadow the importance of the dinner. With figures such as Zuckerberg, Cook, Gates, Nadella, Pichai, and Altman at the table, the event underscored that technology now lies at the heart of America’s political and economic strategy.

I think I _finally_ got my basic concept for a new interactive map for my folk tales down. Here is a first proof of concept - it shows only three folk tales so far, but I wanted to make sure I have this working before I add further tales.
This interactive map uses #MediaWiki with the #SemanticMediaWiki and #Maps extensions. I do not actually edit this map directly - instead, it queries the individual wiki pages and searches for pages with the appropriate properties and categories. Right now, the category in question is "Folk Tale", but it will be easy to add maps with more specialized categories such as "Devil", "Dragon", "Treasure", "Magic", and so forth - and I will do so in the future, once I've added more tales with the relevant information.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

The Independent Adviser on Ministerial Standards gives Angela Rayner a lot of credit (while accepting she broke the ministerial code)
He concludes: "I believe Ms Rayner has acted with integrity and with a dedicated and exemplary commitment to public service. I consider, however, that her unfortunate failure to settle her SDLT liability at the correct level, coupled with the fact that this was established only following intensive public scrutiny" means she did not meet the highest standards.
