︀︀
︀︀Türkiye’s mention was a recognition of its geopolitical clout, size and ambitions not least in the Western Balkans, and not meant as a comparison with any other country.

︀︀The EU unquestionably sees Türkiye as “an important partner… economically and politically,” especially in connectivity and migration.

📑 Translated from Arabic

Iran's embassy in Kabul posted a strange tweet. They say in it: "After Iran destroyed the secret center for cloud seeding and weather manipulation in the UAE, everything changed overnight. And with the end of this secret center, the region's weather map flipped completely, and now Iran and Iraq are getting rain every week and temperatures have dropped 5 degrees. I don't know the accuracy of their words, but it's a change noticed by everyone, and temperatures in Iraq haven't been like this in decades."

Customs Charges: The recipient (you) is responsible for your country’s customs charges and duties. We, L1 Techs, cannot estimate what the customs or duty charges will be. It varies from country to country. Contact your country’s customs department to calculate what your customs charges will be based on your purchase price.

VAT Information: Your order with L1 Techs does not require a VAT invoice. Since we are in the US, we are not required to have VAT registration. Also, no tax is paid on items imported from the US, which also negates the reason for a VAT invoice, as you will pay the tax upon import to your country.

I know why Hassan talks like this. He deliberately says inflammatory stuff to provoke more class consciousness. Its a sort of propaganda but I dont believe it creates as negative impact as other podcasts and influencers. The worst case scenario would be dumb people stealing from small businesses thinking its the same. I think the idea of government owned options for necessities and essentials is a great idea but its corruptible just like everything else eventually.

He likes to praise China a lot cause of their philosophical roots and as productive as they've been there is still a lot of exploitation and enriching the wealthy going on there.

Idk end of day I think he just really wants an alternate form of governance that puts people first so I can be more charitable.

marsh oracle
#

Did he also quote stalin in saying that the fall of the ussr was one of the greatest catastrophies of the 20th century to create more class consciousness?

Also i would say the worst case scenario is these businesses driving up prices because the shrink in their calculations is suddenly a lot higher. Or putting lots of products behind glass doors and locks so people cant steal them.

I do agree that he wants a different form of government, just not a liberal one.

#

And of course the idea of a multimillionaire advocating for poor people to steal from stores is just very funny. At least offer to pay for the legal fees of anybody arrested AINTNOWAY

Its not like he is moving without taking any risks. Theres been so many big pacs and orgs trying to silence and defame him.

marsh oracle
#

Also the entire context here is lefties being anti automation which is dumb af. What past automation was acceptable? Should cashiers have to remember prices of every item and manually add them all up? Should farmers have to plow the land with a good ol cow and a plow? All of these automated away jobs in the moment, so i guess they wouldve opposed them back then.

half heath
#

I dont believe its straight anti automation. Its wanting the surplus profits from automation by these corporations to be taxed right and used for the good of the many. Automation will take jobs but all the reduced costs just put more into the pockets of executive class and not redistributed.

  3. only thing i can think of is him saying “if you cared about Medicare fraud or Medicaid fraud, you would kill Rick Scott.” more so a call for consistency with hyperbolic language
  4. unsure what this is referring to considering he doesn’t support russia

Starting September 2026, a silent update pushed by Google, will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with Google, signed their contract, paid up, and handed over government ID.
︀︀
︀︀Google calls the new rule Android Developer Verification.
︀︀
︀︀This starts with Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand expanding worldwide in 2027 every app on certified Android phones must come from a developer who has registered their real identity with Google.
︀︀
︀︀This covers apps from the Play Store, third-party stores, and sideloaded APKs.
︀︀
︀︀Here’s what developers have to do: They sign up in Google’s new verification system, share their legal name, address, phone number, and ID, and pay a one-time $25 fee.

Under Lindsey Graham’s watch, the famous Christian cathedral Hagia Sophia, was turned over to the Muslims in the year 2020 on behalf of the United Nations. Instead of fighting against the handover of the Hagia Sophia to the Muslims, Lindsey Graham was silent. He didn’t even threaten the United Nations or use any of his political power against Turkey to stop the theft!

I always thought LLMs had some advanced core code to try and control their outputs. But instead from leaks it seems like they just have extra embedded written prompts that they just hope the AI interprets the way they want it to.

#

Seems risky you end up with conflicts like if one section says "Always be bright and cheery" and another section says "Never be bright and cheery when discussing topics such as war" by definition it will have to ignore one of those

#

Or more generally you put in some rule in written form and it just ignores it under random circumstances for unclear reasons

I am not an Orthodox, could use Orthodox arguements here to see whatever should happen

📑 Translated from Turkish

A crisis has erupted in Edirne over whether the spring service at the St. George Bulgarian Church should be conducted in Bulgarian or Greek. Despite the participants being Bulgarian, the Bulgarian community reacted against the officials of the Rum Patriarchate who insisted that the service must be held in Greek. Dimitri Yotef, Chairman of the Bulgarian Exarchate Orthodox Church Foundation: "A Greek metropolitan here is insisting that the service be conducted in Greek. Yet 200-300 people are attending the service, all of them Bulgarian, not a single Greek. The patriarchate in Istanbul has appointed an Edirne metropolitan here. We brought our own priest. Then they brought a higher-ranking priest over him. We conduct our services in Istanbul in Bulgarian. According to the agreement made in 1945, the service must be held in Bulgarian. Permission is not being given for the service to be conducted in the Bulgarian language. We are not Greek. I, to…

Dimitri Yotef, chairman of the board of trustees of the Foundation of the Orthodox Churches of the Bulgarian Exarchate in Istanbul and representative of the Bulgarian community in Constantinople, explained the community’s position

"On behalf of the Bulgarian community in Istanbul, we came today to Edirne to celebrate our traditional Divine service. We are the parish and the owners of this church, including the church of Saints Constantine and Helena in Edirne. However, upon our arrival, the priests sent by the Greek Metropolitan of Edirne informed us that we would not be allowed to conduct the service in Bulgarian. Instead, we were told that the service would be celebrated by Greek clergy. We did not agree to this, because this is a Bulgarian church, and we believe the services should be conducted in the Bulgarian language.”

A basket of groceries in Istanbul is now more expensive than in the UK.
︀︀
︀︀I compared two online shopping baskets - 1 from Carrefour for delivery in Istanbul; one from Sainsbury's.
︀︀
︀︀The price of 19 basic items in the UK totalled £44.53.
︀︀
︀︀The price of the 19 basic items in Istanbul totalled 4,425.18 TL / £71.99 at today's exchange rate.
︀︀
︀︀I compared using the cheapest available options and the most similar items/quantities available.
︀︀
︀︀There are a few items that really push up the cost of the grocery basket in Turkey, namely beef and instant coffee (?!). Some goods such as olive oil are roughly the same price as in the UK, while some items such as eggs, milk and onions are quite a bit cheaper in Turkey.
︀︀
︀︀The gross minimum wage in Turkey is 33,030 (£537.88) a month.
︀︀
︀︀The gross minimum wage in the UK is £12.71 an hour for people over 21. Assuming a 35 hour working week, this is £44…

To respond to the criticisms that Carrefour is a premium supermarket (which again, sort of misses the point that a basket of food in Turkey comes up as more expensive than in the UK) I have also done a basket from Waitrose, the "posh" UK supermarket. Again, I chose the cheapest comparable products available on the Waitrose website, which often means the "Essentials" range - from personal experience, these products are very decent and at the very least comparable with the cheapest products you get at Carrefour in Turkey.
︀︀
︀︀Unfortunately for Turkey, it is again cheaper than the Turkish basket, coming out at £55.81, £16.18 cheaper than Carrefour.
︀︀
︀︀The real big jumps in overall cost for Turkey are due to the red meat and instant coffee (again, ?!) prices.
︀︀
︀︀I did not include any luxury items in either basket, such as imported chocolate or alcohol, which from my experience would make the Turkey basket price jump even higher.

hmm a police coverup?

Or maybe the family really did fabricate evidence, because they had no smoking gun they could catch him with, but it might still have actually happened and they fabricated evidence to try and stop him getting away with it due to lack of evidence?

#

"Police said Kim Se-ui received 11 screenshots of conversations from the bereaved family of Kim Sae-ron and altered seven parts of the images, including changing the conversation partner’s name to “Kim Soo-hyun.”"

#

"Police documents from Seoul Gangnam Police Station’s investigation into Kim Se-ui, head of the YouTube channel HoverLab, also known as Garo Sero Institute."

#

So police are saying the youtube channel the family partnered with used tech (photoshop?) to manipulate images
I guess the police were suspicious if the family refused to submit the original phone data
