B. No illegal content.

While this particular community probably would not have an issue with “illegal content”, it still remains an extremely vague depending on where in the world you live. Are we talking about international law or laws in some random community in Texas?

Those were words, yes.

How the fuck you were able to mash them together like that is beyond me.

Failure modes were not considered.

It’s one of the better bad designs, in some cases. Something, something self-regulating air flow. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, I suppose.

If there was any intelligence involved in our design, it was similar to a kid buying aftermarket parts for his car on eBay that then strapped them to one or two bits of ultra high grade equipment. The end result is something like a nice Supra that drives around town making weird farting noises.

I heard this was actually by design. Nostrils should naturally alternate maximum blowage capacity.

De-escalation is easy: Russia can get the fuck out of Ukraine. All of it.

I just ignored all the ads and any news, so you are likely correct. I did think that most of the games were mobile, but I must have been mistaken in thinking it was playable on Netflix clients on your TV or something.

I used to play Pac-Man on my old FireTV with the controller while I was killing time in the mornings before work, so I thought it was similar in that regard.

It should have been a AAAAA studio. That is where they fucked up.

Or, they fucked up thinking that people wanting to watch movies wanted to play games…

Unfortunately, all it will take is one of the Korean groups to be responsible for destroying another Korean group in Ukraine for any retaliation to make it’s way back to the homeland.

Hell, the story doesn’t even need to be real for one of the Korean governments to start lobbing shells over their border.

Honestly, I think this is the plan. It was super weird for NK to actually blow up roads on the border. With that, combined with the timing of them sending troops to Ukraine is even more sus. This probably has more to do with US elections, than anything else.

Well, I would say that some groups are more vulnerable than others. There are a multitude reasons for this and it depends on education level, religious standing, geolocation and plenty of other factors.

It’s kind of an odd generalization to say that “the liberals don’t realize”. Certainly some don’t. All parties have their version of “Karen” or grandparents that post insane Facebook rants, after all.

Some groups are far more vocal when repeating Kremlin propaganda verbatim, though. That could easily skew the perception of who is actually believing what.

Yes. I followed a group of Russian trolls around for a bit and they will systematically seed right wing social media with shit stories. It’ll start on far-right sources and if the story picks up steam, it’ll migrate to more mainstream sites, like twitter, where it’s usually repeated by right wing politicians.

Fake news sites are built and referenced until a site with better standing quotes the articles and is listed as the original source.

If you did deep enough, you can usually trace stories back to Kremlin run outlets as well. However, by the time you have done all the digging and research, the next new conspiracy is already topping the charts.

Many of the mega-posters on .ml follow the same patterns, actually. You can guess their timezones by when they post and comment and their day job seems to be posting on social media between 9-5. In the case of Lemmy, it seems to be used as a jump-off point for actual fake news sites. (Fake news sites are rarely used as headlines and are more used as comment fodder during any arguments.)

While I am picking on right wing and tankie stuff here, this applies to any opportunity to spread shit with a variety of agendas and no political views are immune.

Consoles made sense when they required specialized hardware. The $700 for a PS5 is probably better spent on a much better GPU for a PC, IMHO.

It’s cool if you like consoles! They still have a specific allure, so I get it.

The more Russian stuff evaporates, the better. And no, I don’t give a fuck who decides to do it.

This kind of skill might help developers build AI agents that identify buttons or fields on a webpage to handle tasks like making a reservation at a restaurant.

… to improve efficiency of click farms and to bypass captchas.

Ok, this conversation is going to go nowhere. There is a clear divergence in what we both say vs what we interpret each other saying. We can probably both keep trying to explain our points, but it will just lead to an endless cycle of nonsense.

What my familiarity is with one ideology or another is irrelevant to this thread.

But yeah, ml/c/usa is a great example of mostly anti-west mass posting by a vocal minority. We could get into specific subjects and events that may or may not be true, but that risks detailing the point of this thread. (This may have changed over the last few months, but I doubt it.)

For generic cut-n-paste responses, all you usually need to do is mention anything about Ukraine or Chinese gost cities. Those are just two glaring examples, but I am sure there are more.

Your experience is going to be different because you likely have different views than me. That’s not good or bad, it just is what it is.

No, I am not a fan of .world either. It’s got its own set of issues.

I have and blocked nearly all of it. They have fuck-all to do with Marxism or Communism and mainly focus on Kremlin and CCP anti-west propaganda.

It’s worse than the “conservative” communities, actually. It’s not so much about promoting a cause as it is about telling everyone else how they are “bad”. Any dissent is usually met with insults or walls of cut-n-paste posts that all point back to state media sources or fake sites.

While all places have their own degrees of circle-jerk mentality, it can be especially bad in some corners of Lemmy.

Can you snort it? Just imagine all of that sweet, sweet data…

Hey. I made that joke first about hell freezing over. Booo!
