Had a pretty overwhelming week but at least my lock screen slays.
This is the kind of xianxia I need on a week where everything felt too much or miserable. Mostly feel with sweet moments, beautiful people and illogical plots 😆.
But I am going to let the last 8 episodes collect to a healthy amount before starting it. I don't want to miserably wait for the end day by day 🥲.
PS: Liu Xueyi is probably the only actor I know who can play a Flower Deity without me sniggering and wonder why they don't go with the standard female for this type of deity 😁

>> New York University is withholding the diploma of a graduation speaker who delivered an unapproved speech on Wednesday that referred to what he called “the atrocities currently happening in Palestine.”
>> The move by N.Y.U. to discipline the student speaker, Logan Rozos, is the latest flashpoint between free speech principles and discipline for pro-Palestinian advocacy on American college campuses...

Можно было бы сказать о том, что граждане имеют права знать, на что идут их деньги. Или посокрушаться, что наши деньги идут на войну. Но по факту, на те суммы, которые за 3 года Путин потратил на войну, можно было бы построить новую Россию с отличными дорогами, суперсовременными больницами и школами, высокими зарплатами и достойными пенсиями. Но нет

Владимир Путин заявил о рекордных темпах добровольной мобилизации в РФ. Что с этими цифрами не так?
▶️Российские власти постоянно подчеркивают, якобы, успешную мобилизацию, которая основана на добровольцах-контрактниках. В последних заявлениях Путин упомянул, что контракт с ВС РФ подписывают уже около 50 тысяч человек в месяц.
▶️Если ориентироваться исключительно на данные Минобороны РФ и Путина, то все волны добровольцев и мобилизованных должны были бы сформировать группу войск в 1,5-1,7 миллиона человек. 180 тысяч контрактников, которые начали вторжение в 2022 году (потери среди них, якобы, были минимальны), мобилизованные 300 тысяч в 2022 году, 540 тысяч контрактников в 2023 году и более 450 тысяч контрактников в 2024 году. В 2025 еще около 250 тысяч, если ориентироваться на данные Путина.
▶️Вместе с этим численность войск в зоне так называемой СВО, согласно данным самого Путина, около 700 тысяч военнослужащих. Более чем вдвое меньше, нежели набранных добровольцев и мобилизованных.
▶️Огромный "излишек" мог бы объясняться отличной ротацией. Если Россия действительно набрала около миллиона контрактников только в 2023 и 2024 годах, то этого должно было бы с огромным запасом хватить на полную замену мобилизованных в 2022 году. Все они должны были легко вернуться домой и быть заменены контрактниками, которых, якобы, набрали даже значительно больше, чем нужно.
▶️Вместе с этим в реальности демобилизироваться крайне сложно даже с тяжелыми ранениями. В открытом доступе буквально тысячи историй про отказ в демобилизации, в том числе тех, кто был призван по мобилизации в 2022 году. Официальных данных нет, но можно уверено сказать, что освобождены от службы всего несколько процентов мобилизованных.
❓Таким образом возникает вопрос: Россия набрала около 1,7 миллиона военнослужащих. Группа войск в Украине - 700 тысяч. Постоянных ротаций и освобождений от службы ранее мобилизованных нет. Куда делись сотни тысяч "лишних" военных, если потери российской армии, якобы, минимальны?

TKP-ML IB Statement On The Commemoration Of The Nakba
Resistance Until Liberation: The Unfinished Return
On the 78th anniversary of the Nakba, we stand with Palestinians everywhere to shatter the silence that hides ongoing dispossession. In May 1948, more than seven hundred thousand lives were uprooted so that colonial powers could plant their flags in the Middle East. The violence of 1948 did not end with history; it echoes today in Gaza’s relentless blockade, where families endure chronic shortages of food, water, fuel, and medicine; in the West Bank, where airstrikes and sniper fire stalk children playing in the streets; and in Jenin and other refugee camps, where bulldozers raze homes by night and soldiers carry out mass arrests at dawn.
We fully expose, in all its brutality, the settler-colonial Zionist ideology that legitimizes the genocide against the Palestinian people. Imperialist states arm occupation forces, spin tales of “peace” and “stability,” and look away as bombs fall on refugee tents and entire neighborhoods are flattened. Their calculated silence is part of a broader strategy of re-division, an ominous prelude to a new imperialist world war in which Palestine is but one battlefield among many. Yet their plots only bind us more tightly together in solidarity.
Our solidarity is rooted in everyday acts: workers refusing to service weapons factories, students organizing divestment campaigns on campuses, and communities hosting Palestinian artists and speakers. We bring Palestinian voices into our unions, our neighborhoods, and our classrooms, offering spaces where their stories are heard, learned, and passed on. Through these actions we make clear that the right to return is not a distant hope but a shared responsibility and collective mission.
As long as checkpoints still choke movement, blockades starve families, and imperialist powers scheme fresh carve-ups under the threat of a third world war, our solidarity will pulse through every corner of the globe. We are bound together in struggle until every Palestinian can walk home again, unhampered by colonial walls.
Long live the struggle of the Palestinian People!
Long live International Solidarity!
Free Palestine!

I have been in software development for quite some time. I have tried vibe-coding several times. I just don't get it.
The AI agent makes fundamental mistakes, and it takes many prompts to fix them. The AI rewrites the entire file even if changing just one line is enough.
Also, just writing the code is often easier than explaining what I want to do to the AI.

Il motivo per cui ultimamente parlo di Software Libero, Open Source e software proprietario, è perché secondo me le persone, anche quelle interessate a non usare il software prodotto da una grande azienda, spesso non hanno ben chiare le premesse.
La questione del Software Libero è "antica", informaticamente parlando, risale agli anni 80.
Le distinzioni specifiche si sono formate durante questi anni e hanno portato a tutta una serie di differenze sostanziali nel modo di concepire l'informatica.
La distinzione fondamentale secondo me è quella tra: avere un'idea di in che direzione dovrebbero andare le cose oppure rilasciare un botto di codice che comunque è utile avere pezzi per costruire cose.
Secondo me il Software Libero rientra nella prima categoria e sono abbastanza d'accordo sull'idea che esprime.
Ci sono altre idee, con cui sono meno/non d'accordo e poi ci sono "non idee" nel senso che tutta questa filosofaggine passa in secondo piano.
Quindi insomma, no, non è automatico, secondo me, che: una cosa è gratis/open/l'ho presa su [distributore di cose open di fiducia] o chi per esso -> sto andando nella direzione giusta.
Bisognerebbe sempre controllare la licenza, in teoria.
Poi...nella pratica al momento se volessimo usare solo Software Libero dovremmo recuperare qualche macchina un po' vecchiotta e...probabilmente sarebbe più complicato usare internet. Per non parlare dei telefoni con Android.
Questo non toglie che secondo me è una direzione in cui andare, quindi se possibile sarebbe preferibile preferire quello.
E controllare.
Controllare è parte dell'essere fruitori consapevoli invece che utenti pecore.

in reply to FurryGamerzzYTC • • •The image features a stylized, animated character resembling a cat-like creature with a light purple color scheme. The character has a blue gem on its forehead, large blue eyes, and a small, pointed nose. Its ears are pointed, and it has a muscular build with a curled tail. The character is positioned on a circular platform with a glowing blue ring, set against a dark blue background that resembles a starry night sky. The platform has a hexagonal pattern, and the overall color palette is dominated by shades of blue and purple. The character's expression is focused and slightly aggressive, with its mouth slightly open, revealing sharp teeth. The background is simple, with a few scattered white dots representing stars, enhancing the cosmic theme.
