Ukrainian's Figure Out Their #Media Is #BS #Propaganda
It’s State Propaganda’: Ukrainians Shun TV News as War Drags on
A government-approved news program intended to counter Russian disinformation and boost morale is coming under criticism for painting a rosy picture of the war. (NYT)
Since the early days of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, the people of #Ukraine have had access to a single source of television news — an all-day broadcast packed with footage of Ukrainian tanks blasting Russian positions, medics operating near the frontline and political leaders rallying support abroad.
The show, Telemarathon United News, has been a major tool of Ukraine’s information war, praised by the government officials who regularly appear on it for its role in countering Russian disinformation and maintaining morale.
But after nearly two years of war, Ukrainians have grown weary of Telemarathon. What was once seen as a crucial tool for holding the country together is now increasingly derided as little more than a mouthpiece for the government.
Viewers have complained that the program often paints too rosy a picture of the war, hiding worrying developments on the frontline and the West’s eroding support for Ukraine — and ultimately failing to prepare citizens for a long war.
“Everyone is fed up with this picture that says, ‘We’re winning, everyone likes us and gives us money,’” said Oksana Romaniuk, the head of the Kyiv-based Institute of Mass Information, a media monitoring organization. “It’s state propaganda.”
By the end of 2022, viewership of the news program had shrunk to 14 percent of the television audience, Ms. Ostapa said. Today, it is down to 10 percent.
Ihor Kulias, a media expert monitoring Telemarathon for Detector Media, said that, for most of 2023, the show’s participants used language that emphasized “the effectiveness and skill of the Ukrainian forces,” while Russian forces were “described as being in a state of panic, experiencing significant losses and surrendering en masse.”
It was “a completely different reality” from the actual situation on the ground, Mr. Kulias said.
Can the NYT be trusted? Didn't they write the same?
BS Bingo
I win.
No photoshop, this has been an actual lecture on our campus. My money would be on someone from finance, they have such slogans (Big data blah blah blah...) on the walls in their building.
If I had time then, I would love to hijack such a lecture and ask for specific examples where for example "blockchain" has improved a product. Our college for example had collaborated with someone on a "robot" with "AI" once, that should have been used for touristic explanations in a temple. The "robot" could only move arms and head as a kind of gestures and the "AI" part was probably the tablet attached to the "robot". Did I mention that we are a technical university? Maybe I shouldn't...

I don't know why, because I didn't search for #guitar #amps recently, but Google suggested several news articles regarding those devices. I ignored most, but then got curious, because the title was a little bit silly: Why You Should Never Plug A Keyboard Into A Guitar Amplifier
Apparently this is the unofficial fan website of a band and Google even suggested several of their articles. I seriously hope that the band is not in any way connected to whoever is writing on that website, because whoever that is, they have no clue what they are talking about. Let's have a look:
A guitar amplifier is a device used to amplify the signal of an electric guitar so that it produces a louder sound through a loudspeaker.
Fundamentally correct, what a statement!
A keyboard can damage a guitar amplifier if the keyboard is plugged into the amplifier’s input and the volume is turned up too high.
Boy, good keyboards have line output. This is higher than the mic level output of passive guitars, but can easily be handled by an amplifier. Also: If plugging a keyboard into an amp's input is so bad, are you suggesting to plug it into the amp's output?
This can cause the amplifier to overheat and possibly catch fire.
Only if that amp is absolute garbage. Before anything could possibly "overheat" (which would be a design flaw), you will get so terrible distortions from overdriving your amp that you will turn off the amp and/or hit the keyboarder first.
Any guitar amplifier with a large range would be unable to produce much bass.
Any guitar amp with a large range going low enough will be able to produce bass. I'm using an el-cheapo guitar amp for bass practice.
If you do pump too much bass through it, there is a chance you will blow something.
Your mind, mainly. Or what is left of it.
The distortion of a speaker is not a problem.
Are we living in the same physics universe?
The reason why people don’t play the bass guitar is that amplifier is an impediment.
I learned that a bass with amp is significantly easier to hear than a bass without amp.
This polyphony has a 64-note polyphony with thick pads, so treating it with a large range of notes isn’t the best option.
I have no idea what you are talking about all of a sudden.
There is a reason why bass guitar players do not play through an amplifier.
Do you seriously suggest they play bass through their noses?
Even if the low frequencies cannot be reproduced on a bass amplifier, they will cause the speakers to suffer from damage over time.
Ahem, the term "bass amplifier" suggests that it is made for a...bass. It may lack in higher frequencies, but should have no problem with the lower and - unless it is garbage.
Let's go to another "article" I got suggested: The Risks Of Using A Guitar Amplifier With Your Laptop (I skip the statement by Captain Obvious)
While most guitar amps are not powerful enough to damage a laptop’s sound system, some high-end amplifiers can generate enough power to cause serious damage.
"Captain, the Cylons modified their phasers to our shield frequency, which caused a feedback into the warp core. We are doomed!" The only thing you may regret when using your laptop at a guitar amp is the limited frequency range. A guitar amp only needs to amplify the sounds made by a guitar, so you won't find any offering 20Hz to 20kHz.
Guitar amps, on the other hand, lack a full-range frequency response comparable to keyboard amplifiers. As a result, the back keyboard sounds of a guitar amplifier will not be as accurate as they could be. It is also possible to damage the guitar amplifier’s speakers.
What a total...
For the finish, just a headline: Are Orange Guitar Amps Louder Than Other Kinds Of Ants
Yes, certainly. Unless they are completely broken or switched off. I have yet to meet an ant who is louder than any amplifier I know.
