And why exactly is US meddling again here?
Bots nowadays use residential proxy networks. When people use a free VPN or other shady software, they might become part of the network, and bad actors can route traffic trough their devices.
What does this asshole do with these bots, run influence operations? For whom? What do we know about which influence operations are hired for which interests? Forget the government ones for a moment, what about commercial interests?
If it's the same guy that was posted about a while ago, they do it for (blackhat) marketing. The bots mostly post comments in threads that look like a normal discussion, but where the goal is to move people away from one solution to another one. Imagine if somebody asks whether a piece of software is good, a bot then replies that they have not heard good things about it, and another bot chimes in and says "yeah I have been using instead".
They'll probably also make manual posts claiming how good something is, put it in their control panel and a single bot will post it, while the other bots chime in with upvotes and discussion.
Add a bit of logic to chime in on unrelated posts to make the account look more legit and you got yourself an army.
Sure. You didn't really make that clear in the OP.
I will keep an eye on it.
Are you talking about the "still in development"?
It's more nuanced. If even 1 of these screws is used for something that might ever need repairing, BMW mechanics will need to get the tool to be able to provide full support. It might even be possible that official BMW mechanics will be required to use the proprietary tool and are not allowed to use knock offs.
Terrorism are acts of violence purely to spread terror.
People are throwing the definition around way too much.
This requires an account on a centralized service.
It looks good but I'd rather make an account on a self hosted instance or just use a local account like TeamSpeak 3.
Ah that's too bad. Thanks for the info.
Afaik Jellyfin and Emby use the same authentication so by adding Jellyfin support Emby automatically works too.
Overseerr required Plex. It was forked into Jellyseerr to allow Emby and Jellyfin accounts. Now Overseerr and Jellyseer merge into one tool called Seerr that combines the features. So no.
What a weird way of saying "6 times as much".
