China’s military is increasingly at work on wearable technology and a dedicated #psychological#support#system to win at what it views as the crucial space of #cognitive#warfare—manipulating enemy troops’ state of mind to shape their behavior and hardening its own forces against such efforts.
“In future cognitive domain operations, the influence of rational factors such as science and logic on individual cognition is likely to be weakened, and cognitive confrontation may become a #contest of #emotions,” says one recent article in PLA Daily.
Cognitive domain operations seek to capture the mind of one’s foes, changing the thoughts and perceptions of an adversary to shape their decisions and actions. As another People’s Liberation Army outlet describes, a cognitive attack aims to “use an “invisible hand” to control the opponent’s will, making the opponent feel “I can’t” and “I dare not,” and then achieve the effect of “I don't want to.”
I am looking to hire a social worker or equivalent in Ontario for 5-10hrs/mo. Eastern ON area, but can likely do remote.
Need someone hip with the complex bureaucracy of supports. But more importantly someone innovative, wanting to explore and foster change and create new things - because existing supports are shite.
So, yeah! I got let go from my job today. I still haven't been able to secure a new job yet. I have fibromyalgia. Please share and consider buying a thing from my online shop! I wish I could focus on this full time tbh. I'll have new stuff coming this summer too!
Hey #hachyderm! One of our own (@mahtheyzhawey) is in desperate need of financial support. She and her family are being evicted because her building sold, and her landlord is extorting her and slandering her to other landlords. She’s found a landlord who’s willing to take her and her family, but she needs 3 months rent upfront and they’re still short 2/3.
On the other hand, if you have enjoyed stuff that I am already doing, be it #comics, #articles, #podcasts, or even funny #toots, you can always subscribe to me on #Kofi.
$1 a month with enough people really adds up. I would love having enough money each month coming from folks supporting what I already do. I don't do paywalls, so you are just donating for the stuff I already share for free.
We are absolutely thrilled and grateful for your generous support, which will help us continue to improve and grow our community. Your contribution means the world to us, and we can't express how much we appreciate your kindness and generosity.
Thank you so much for your amazing support and for being part of our community. We couldn't do this without you, and we look forward to continuing to provide a great experience for all our users with your help.
#EJeanCarroll and Other Survivors Don't Need an Excuse for Not Screaming
The millions of sexual assault survivors deserve our #respect, #support, and #empathy, but never our pity.
"Oh. My God. The force of hatred coming at me was staggering." So is, potentially, Trump's lead counsel Joe Tacopina's line of questioning about Carroll not screaming as she was being sexually assaulted. "He raped me, whether I screamed or not. I don't need any excuse for not screaming."
If I will #recommend a #fediverse software that needs support (developer and financial(?)), it is #Plume.
Plume is “a federated blogging application”. Basically, it is a blogging software that was made for the fediverse network.
Features I like:
It has comments. The comments also pulls from the fediverse.
Collaborative writing.
License chooser
The project is currently on hiatus, as per the status update on the official website: https://joinplu.me
> Currently, Plume developers have less time and Plume is not actively maintained. New features may take time to be implemented. Could you consider similar purpose software: WriteFreely.
To the introverted person with a colorful personality, the quiet one in the room who's full of stories untold, this is an invitation to show more of your fantastical inner world to your surroundings, inviting little smiles and curiosity around your looks because you let your personality shine through with wearing handmade art.
The Guide to Peer-to-Peer, Encryption, and Tor: New Communication Infrastructure for Anarchists
"An exhaustive anarchist overview and guide to various apps and tech that utilize peer-to-peer and encryption.
Shhhhh
This is a discussion about digital tools for communicating securely and privately. To begin, it must be stressed that a face-to-face meeting, out of sight of cameras and out of earshot from other people and devices, is the most secure way to communicate. Anarchists were going for walks to chat long before encrypted texting existed, and they should still do so now, whenever possible."
If your #github project uses #stalebot you are being actively hostile to your community and should stop it.
I'm looking at you, #esphome, and the 4 (at least!) identical bugs indicating problems with esp_touch that were all closed by stalebot. Some of them were reproduced and started discussion and debugging before being closed.
Auto-closing is for #support requests, not #bug reports. Bugs don't magically disappear just because you ignore them.
Reposted because I wanted to ensure that this has the "Friend Link" engaged to bypass my paywall. 💜 All the links are friend links! That way I get supported just with the reads, and I also get to give you my content free! Enjoy!
