you chimed in to bullshit that it's all the Dems faults

Do show me where this happened.

Nobody mentioned either party till you chimed

You did read the headline, right?

Why do y'all get so bruised when extremely valid critiques are leveled against the democrats?

blame democrats for everything republicans do

Uh, Joe Biden was not a republican. Neither was Obama. And it should be clear the Democrat senators are also not Republicans...

Lamo to be spouting constitutionalist hopium at this stage of the descent.

These [rights] are explicitly given by the Constitution and cannot be taken away.

Then explain how they took away Alex Pretti's rights. Political power does not come from a Constitution; it comes from the barrel of a gun.

Also keep in mind your constitution is the only one I know of that explicitly enshrines the right to enslave people.

Joe Biden spent a record amount on ICE camps while the threat of fascism was obviously clear.

Obama not only discovered Homan, but awarded him with a medal when Homan devised a plan to separate migrant children from their parents at detention centers.

Every single dem senator voted to confirm Marco Rubio, who has obviously been one of the biggest champions of "immigration enforcement.

They're not entirely wrong when they say the Democrats gave them a mandate.

I do agree that this is very rare take from climate activists. Those folks usually know their shit and are pretty radical.

However, this line of reasoning is definitely a thing among laypersons. It has historical precedent that has its roots in Malthusian population theory.

They'd respond sensitively. Is that supposed to be some sort of gotcha?

How do western AIs response to issues sensitive to the west compared to Chinese AIs?

Similarly, more sensitively. Which is what your own study posits. Your point about the whole of the Chinese open source strategy being a means to push propaganda came out of your analysis - not the study to which you linked.

It clearly reveals that Chinese 'Open Source' AI are just tools for Chinese Communist Party propaganda.

How do you figure? This is not the conclusion of this study. The study concludes with the fairly inoccuous point that a given country's AI systems will oftentimes mirror that country's values and government strategies. The word "propaganda" does not show up in the body of study a single time.

This study underscores a critical insight: AI chatbots are not neutral vessels of information. They are deeply embedded in political, cultural, and regulatory environments, and their outputs often reflect those influences. In China, for example, AI systems are explicitly tasked with reinforcing “core socialist values” and safeguarding state authority. This shapes not only what chatbots are permitted to say, but also how they transmit knowledge, define truth, and present information to align with state and societal ideologies.

For policymakers, the findings highlight the urgent need to integrate AI governance into broader debates around digital sovereignty, freedom of expression, and the integrity of public discourse. For developers, the research stresses the importance of transparency, context-aware design, and an awareness of how AI operates across jurisdictions and political systems. For users, understanding the potential for chatbot bias is now a key component of digital and AI literacy, recognizing that AI outputs are mediated, curated, and, at times, censored.

Before the conclusion, we see:

By contrast, Western chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude tend to reflect a wider range of perspectives, including international legal and human rights debates. This divergence illustrates how AI systems are deeply shaped by their geopolitical environments, reinforcing the notion that chatbot outputs are not neutral. Instead, they are embedded with ideological assumptions—raising broader implications for freedom of information, AI governance, and global epistemic plurality.

Anyone can run an experiment when the lead the question to AI. lmao at how chatgpt characterizes the Native American genocide versus DeepSeek.

Wise words. Thanks.

Ah yes, another NED-funded think tank with a focus on China and Vietnam. Definitely nothing sketchy there. Definitely not an arm of the regime change machine.

Also lmao at how they're using AI generated images of Chinese prisons, hail Nelson Mandela (who saw China and Mao's revolution as a spiritual pillar), and then pulls a statistical sleight of hand by claiming "China has the most prisoners". Blatant whataboutism. Not only is that statement false on it's face (the USA has the largest number of prisoners), but it is also fails to consider # of prisoners per capita.

Who do you expect to be the ones investigating? Who do you expect to be the ones doling out punishment?

Shout-out to Obama for giving us this guy.

 

On my truenas scale machine, I have a container for gluetun and one for qbittorrent (among others). Maybe a couple times a week, I notice that the VPN connection gets flakey. Qbittorrent speeds go down into the kb/s range. This promps me to carry out an annoying, manual process:

  1. I pause all torrents in qbittorrent webui
  2. I stop both the qbit and gluetun containers
  3. I start the gluetun container
  4. I give the gluetun container adequate time to connect (since the qbit container depends on the gluetun network, attempting to start both at the same time yields an error on the qbit side)
  5. I start the qbit container
  6. I resume all torrents in the qbittorrent webui

Is there any easy way to automate this process? Preferably one that doesn't require me to learn ansible? I'm hoping the solution could all be done via portainer - which I use.

Thank you in advance.
