  • There is nothing about this topic in Turkish history books.The war reparations the Ottoman Empire paid to Russia were used to build a massive palace complex.I saw and learned these things while living in Russia and learning Russian in 2014-2015.History books contain almost nothing about the naval battles, land battles, and ongoing wars with the Russians since 1700. However, Turkish history books only mention 3 of these agreements - Treaty of Karlowitz , Treaty of Pasarofca, Treaty of San Stefano. Even about the 1877 Ottoman-Russian War, very little information is provided.

    Almost nothing has been written in history books about Ottoman-Russian relations from 1750 to 1910.But in Moscow and Saint Petersburg, I saw a different history.


  • Use tags like #2026-04-06. Or use the Dataview plugin with your notes to filter them by dates—you’ll get awesome results. Use bullet lists well, at least as well as possible. Link your bullets to related notes and ideas (💡 logging and linking), so you can connect your small ideas to big notes. Forget nested folders; forget massive plugins. Just write and link your notes. For example, I use quick memo notes with names. Whenever I get a new idea, I write it directly into the mobile Obsidian app in bullet-list form with timestamp tags and links to related notes. Those small pieces create big articles.






  • Migration waves are not among the primary structural problems in Germany.The German economy’s dependence on America along the Atlantic axis and the industrial shift of its workforce eastward constitute the root of the problem.Another issue is the brain drain from Germany.Many German citizens are migrating to German-speaking countries, primarily Austria, or to English-speaking regions for opportunities in the IT sector.In other words, Germany cannot retain its skilled workforce. It cannot break free from its economic dependence on America. Industrially, it cannot compete with China.When you add migration and a cumbersome bureaucracy to all of this, the current picture emerges.But it’s interesting that he thought he could solve the problem by eliminating secondary causes instead of addressing the root cause.



  • Thank you for the suggestion.I’ve tried that app before, but I encountered too many bot accounts and malicious individuals on it.Therefore, I especially prefer to keep them as text and voice recordings via email.Those who aren’t really serious about it don’t continue after a few practices.However, since social media platforms with photos and videos are generally active, language practice eventually turns into relationship practice.

    My main goal here is to practice the language. I’m looking for people I can communicate with to practice the language, without anyone invading my personal space or me invading anyone else’s.



  • English Practices

    As a native Turkish speaker, I started to read Paul Auster’s the New York trilogy. I’m using a voice recorder while I was reading. From sentence to sentence I am recording my voice to my voice recorder to compare it with the native speakers audio. By doing so, I hope I can correct my pronunciation mistakes.

    German Practices

    And also I am learning and refreshing my memory in German language. When I was in high school I learned German, because we had a German lessons. After 19 years I start the again to my German practices.

    Using Anki flashcard application with sentence decks and vocabulary decks. At the same time I am practicing on LingQ German. And I bought dealing with books in German language ( German and Turkish ). I started my practices 79 days ago and now I can easily understand intermediate level voice records and the texts. I am not checking any of Grammar rules in German. Just trying to understand translating full sentence and using echo shadowing technique.

    In Anki application I am using four different colors in my flashcards. Feminine articles are pink, masculine articles are blue, non-gender articles are green, plural forms are yellow. I’m adding photos if available. And using in text to speech features of Anki.

    Russian

    A 2014 I was living in Russia. I stayed there one and half year. I have already B1 level Russian. To keep it fresh sometimes I watch YouTube videos such as уральские пельмени, Comedy Club. And using echo shadowing method. When I was watching I am also recording the interesting parts to my voice recorder.







  • But here too, it comes down to money and power. Funding for scientific research is provided by wealthy governments and mega-corporations like FAANG and Neuralink (founded by Elon Musk). This dictates the goals for scientific research. Studies are conducted in areas where it is desired that what is possible be achieved. Currently, billions of dollars are being invested in projects such as artificial intelligence systems, robotics, and genome projects involving cell and tissue regeneration. The claim that science is independent is completely unfounded.


  • Nobody asked the real question? Why especially do they need to store data on DNA?

    Human being wrote the data onto rocks, ceramics, papirus, paper, cd, harddisk… But what has happened? why now DNA? Is it the part of a transhuman project (evulotion circle : genesis - humanism - posthumanism - transhumanism)? Do we need to combine machines with organic parts?

    Looking at the investments made in computer technology(ai, cloud etc.) , electronics(microchip industry, REEs etc. ), and biology(genom projects) over the last 40 years, I see that someone desperately wants transhumanism.
