You make a good point… In general, no one cares enough to track all this down. That is true. So that makes me wonder… who does/would care? So in a capitalist system, until the day the flow of money is impacted, generally nothing changes.
So if Reddit really is all (or vastly) bots, then aren’t advertisers paying to advertise to bots? And if that is true, at a certain point some metrics will show the yield on their investments is bunk.
Maybe that is how it collapses. I can hope.
I suppose the spirit of the question was “volume of content” vs “volume of accounts”. But there is a problem with loading a lot of content onto a singular account (from a bot detection PoV), and that is that it is easy to detect if an account is a bot if their post history is :
To solve that problem (aka bot camouflage), the maintainers of said bots would use volume of accounts as a disguise mechanism. For that reason I assume that the volume of bot accounts has to scale with the volume of “pushed content” as, in my assessment… if I were running a bot network I’d want to be sure that my most-active bots were only 50-80% as prolific as known-human accounts… then simply distribute your content across those “strategically-limited-spam-bots”.
So as a TLDR I guess what I’m saying is that the volume of accounts has to scale with the volume of influence assuming you’d want your influence to appear organic.
The meta above this would be what, account creation monitoring? It’s an interesting conflict. Influence peddlers vs bot detectors.
What is gross to me is that platforms like Reddit appear to be catering to the influence peddlers. (or in the case of Facebook and Cambridge Analytica… allying with and giving birth to said influence peddlers to the political gain of Zuckerberg’s personal views on politics.)
Should one person have such power? Probably not. Explains a lot of “unexplainable” occurrences happening… back to back to back to back to…
This is the modern incarnation of “billionaires buying newspapers” to maintain control of the narrative.
Just an opinion from someone who has been around the internet for a long while. It wouldn’t surprise me if most of the comments are bots. I remember what it was like to interact with humans, even dumb humans, and they aren’t nearly as blatantly agenda-driven as commenters on what I’d call “visible social media”.
There are plenty of people who have a vested interest in disrupting means of communication and organization and they are investing a great deal in “false idea proliferation”.
My 0.02¢.
Oh, you asked for a percentage, in the popular subs? 80+%. In niche subs that don’t affect the Overton Window? 5-30%. And yes, these numbers are favricated outward from my butt hole.
Since Oct. 7, 2023, more than 45,000 Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank have been killed by Israel Defense Forces while 1,139 Israelis have been killed by Hamas.
Nearly 70% of Palestinians killed have been women and children.
I agree with some of these things.
Left vs Right is a distraction.
The fight for a better life is Top vs Bottom.
Next time you take a break from licking the boot, read a history book. Do you know how many corpses are in the ground today because a few folks said, “We shouldn’t have to work seven days a week.” A fucking lot.
Thanks to them, we have the concept of “weekends”.
Change is written in blood.
This is not a one-off example, there are thousands.
That is reality. Welcome to it.
They’re being intentionally dense. But we understand your point. Some people were born to lick the boot. Let them stay dumb.
They indicate how much of an ass you come across as.
There are tons of people in this world who are right, yet everyone dislikes and doesn’t interact with. Something to think about some day, when you calm down.
The neat thing about your statement is that it works both ways, canceling itself out with its own “logic”.
One random Christian says yes.
One random Christian says no.
“Patriarch” is a social construct, everyone is “just a guy”. I do not revere a Christian more or less because they dress up like a wizard.
Well written, and I learned a few things from this story. I recently started a cloud of my own with 4 20TiB HDDs in a raid 5 configuration so this story felt very prescient to me. Makes me very grateful for the simplicity of Cockpit and LUKS2… my setup felt so trivial to configure!
That is good but only shows the last 10-15 lines of the log, unless there is an arg to expand that, or a command to follow the log. I am aware of neither.
I usually use your suggested command to check if a service is up, then if it isn’t, use journalctl to find out why.
tbh my go to command is just… journalctl -fe -u service
ex :
journalctl -fe -u jellyfin
journalctl -fe -u nordvpnd
so I’d also like to know the answer to this question. my other go to is dumping journalctl to text files and parsing with grep and awk and creating my own reports with that parsed information.
grep -E is my favorite, I love regex capturing groups.
It is a talking point meant to engage you and waste your time, it doesn’t have to make sense. This is conservative playbook 101.
It is a demonstration of good faith vs bad faith. If only you explain it to the person properly then they will change their mind? Nope. They’re just energy/effort vampires trying to exhaust you.
Adding to their perspective, as another kid who grew up in a poor family… why not? Rich families were always spending “insane” amounts (aka literally any amount) on food, vacations, extra cars…
$2,500 for a day trip? …sounds insane and unachievable, just like everything else in life. So, yeah, why wouldn’t it cost that much?
When you are poor, the cost of everything sounds insane.
I agree with your sentiment regarding confusing syntax, however I think that confusion simply requires a calculated approach to dispell it.
It’s a prime example of why I use scripts as reminders as much as I use them functionally. I work out the syntax once… save it to an example script, then save myself 20 minutes of remembering by just $ cat ./path/to/script.sh and copying said syntax.
So if you can change your workflow such that learned things stay around as examples, I feel that you will pick it up much more quickly :)
