@mike805 @Samqi @joewo well, ex-#GDR is still a place where no foreign troops can be stationed (See 2+4 treaty)!

• As for #Ukraine, the fact that the #USA & #UK refulsed to follow through on their commitments as per #BudapestMemorandum is inexcuseable!

So stop shitting #disinfo [into my mentions] that can be disproven in a 5min search...

• As for any "promises": This was actually my final history exam to graduate highscool (feel free to #IFG that) and Bush Sr. did offer a fully demilitarized fmr. GDR as part of the #FRG taking it in and remaining #NATO member.

The "Budapest Memorandum" guarantees Ukraine's territorial integrity and souvereignity.

Aha! THIS is ideal science:
CURIOSITY, clear communication,
respect (actual) corrections from anywhere,
honest effort to test and learn, and
share what you know with anyone interested.

It's not easy, but these are each necessary. I'm using 'science' here like STEM or STEAM.
So I broadly refer to a scientific method but also engineering expertise, mathematical review, and humanities' impact on supporting any of this to happen at all.

Ignoring currency hoarding by money addicts, the rest of us are here to enjoy contentment.
We can make real discoveries, inventions, and connect ideas to find useful applications.

(Also petition to call Dark Matter instead Clear Matter.)

@rozeboosje (I just assumed it was German? aaaa I am terrible at placing accents tho.) Frustrating af part is she clearly has an axe to grind with physics / academia and so do I.

It's possible I might have *more* reason to feel spurned unjustly, since mine is "systemic ableism led to late diagnosis, but I didn't get even the minimal support I was offered and accepted".

But I still stick to my vision of a better life for everyone I can help because that's... the only thing worth doing?

beep.

Semi-related: I need to do a basic layperson's guide to science set of videos. A bit like Minute Physics or CGP Grey, but about 'null hypothesis' (which I still need to learn, tbh) and 'a control group'.

Also petition to call Dark Matter instead Clear Matter.

@agowa338 @jeffowski no.

Any engagement is boosting them.

• #BlockThemReportThem for #disinfo works!

@jeffowski also don't discuss #disinfo, just clearly reply:

"No, and you know it's not true!"

everytime you have some person doing that before using any meams necessary to yeet them off platform * convo!

@plagiarismtoday

Note that this is largely disinformation. His thesis supervisor at Oxford issued a statement describing it and her conclusion that it is normal citations practice - he cited publications dozens of times, and missed adding a footnote for another cite to the same paper elsewhere in the thesis, etc.

She stated unequivocally that it was not plagiarism in any sense of the word, much less academic malpractice - quote "no evidence of plagiarism in the thesis".

If people want to criticize Carney, that's fine, but they need to do it with facts, not lies.

@signalapp It's not #disinfo when one points out that you demand #PII aka. #PhoneNumbers from Users and that is literally a architectural vulnerability, alongside your #proprietary & #Centralized #Infrastructure.

• #Signal being a #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #Solution is literally the reason why I consider it #insecure.

Not to mention the lack of @torproject / #Tor support with an #OnionService or the willingness to fulfill #cyberfacist "Embargoes" or shilling a #Shitcoin #Scam named #MobileCoin!

• #KYC is the illicit activity!!!

And don't get me started on the #cyberfacism that is #CloudAct.

• If you were secure, criminals would've used your platform so hard, it would've been shutdown like #EncroChat and #SkyECC.

I may nit have allvthe.evidence yet, but #Signal stenches like #ANØM: #Honeypot-esque!

FIMI is highly policy-driven. The European External Action Service (EEAS) operationalized it to tackle foreign state-led disinformation. But science relies on clearer definitions.

By focusing on manipulative intent rather than falsity, FIMI makes it difficult to create empirical studies, as assessing intent and coordination is methodologically complex.

This is why FIMI is an excellent policy concept—but a challenging research framework.
