Great, now take the same freedom fighter bots and tell them to argue IP policy on social media online. We can hear all about the right minded ways to think about intellectual property and how all the comments around here are misinformation.

It’s like people lose their minds when you throw an enemy into the sentence. I don’t think these people crafting propaganda bots are heroes, even if they are on “my” team. Go down this road, and you can throw away forums like Lemmy, it’ll just be bots arguing with bots.

Honestly, if you look at it in a vacuum, this looks pretty similar to what the other side is doing.

It’s a bot that draws from its own side’s narratives and pushes that line.

Take away Russia from the picture and think about how often our media pushes a spin on other subjects that isn’t exactly the truth.

Doesn’t look so much like “social media propaganda bots versus AI-driven bots arguing back” as much as propaganda bots on both sides spewing whatever their masters want us to see.

What poor quality journalism writing.

How can you have a headline like that without addressing what makes the contents of the program unusual and what makes the program controversial?

There’s a better translation right here in this thread. “Hurting our relationship” is not so literal and so doesn’t sound daft in English.

It feels shady the way the media uses this overly literal translation of ‘hurt the feelings’ all the time in order to make the Chinese sound ridiculous. Could make any foreign language speaker sound ridiculous by cherry picking funny but common phrases and translating them literally.

There are a lot of bed frames that are solid, though, including the one I use at home. If it causes any ill effects on the mattress I haven’t observed it personally.

That’s fair as a definition of genocide, though it isn’t the way I’m used to understanding the word.

Precisely because of the differences though, I’d also find it in poor taste to make comparisons been the Canadian genocide against indigenous peoples and the Holocaust.

I’ll go against the grain here and say I do think it’s antisemitic, for precisely the reason outlined in the parent comment, even though they themselves are also giving you a pass.

The genocide against the Jews, the Holocaust, was a situation where they were rounding up every single member of the ethnicity they could find in order to exterminate them.

Even though we use the same word genocide for the Uighurs, no credible authority I’ve ever come across is alleging that is what is happening in Xinjiang. Uighurs still openly populate the province and roam the streets publicly.

To compare them like this is to directly downplay the Holocaust in order to make a point on the Uighurs. In fact, I’d also say the widespread use of the word genocide for the Uighurs is the same, for reasons we’re seeing from the reactions of everyone else in this thread.

Games haven’t been truly good for a long time

Meanwhile, here I am loving gaming and thinking we’re in a golden age of gaming compared to my youth…

Why specifically KeePassXC instead of KeePass?
