the headline is pandering a lie.

Okay, I'll bite... which part of the headline is a lie?

Wow, an even more reputable site than The Sun. You'll believe anything that confirms what you've imagined to be true.

You remind me of the election deniers that claim to have mountains of evidence but absolutely refuse to share that evidence.

*crickets chirping*

You, one comment ago:

"I didnt read that guys self important comment fully to see if he really had any data in there."

You now:

"you just make assumption based on no data, I am the opposite, I actually need data to make conclusions."

So, you refuse to read the data conveniently provided to you, and also claim that you "actually need data to make conclusions." You're quickly losing any shred of credibility you have left.

Speaking of parents thinking about their kids' genitals:

None of that has anything to do with what I said.

Just because Biden did/said something that doesn't mean all Democrats feel the same way. You said Democrats decided that genocide was okay and I know that you know that is not true. You're either being hyperbolic or are intentionally lying.

I'm a Democrat and I definitely did not decide that genocide is okay, and I know a lot of other Democrats that feel the same way.

They're most likely arguing in bad faith.

"Bad faith is a sustained form of deception which consists of entertaining or pretending to entertain one set of feelings while acting as if influenced by another. It is associated with hypocrisy, breach of contract, affectation, and lip service. It may involve intentional deceit of others, or self-deception. "

Democrats decided genocide was okay

Okay, now you're just making things up.

I always thought the term "Wumao" sounded suspiciosly like "woo Mao."

Even this Chinese company, why do they care to clone it all? It’s already all hosted and publicly available.

Until it isn't. Perhaps they are preparing for a future war with the US and assume their access to all that code will be blocked. They want to copy it now while they have access.

You can't block open source projects from anyone.

I think they were referring to blocking GitHub from public access. In the event of a world war I could easily see Microsoft obeying the order to shut down GitHub.

It’s not about laws at this level but about whether it is worth to do vs possible repercussions

Again, what repercussions? Who will enforce an ICC judgement against the CCP? Laws aside, what possible actions could be taken? I guess sanctions but that's unlikely over something like this.

You seem to be joking but it actually is well documented.

• The 50 Cent Party, or 50 Cent Army, is the colloquial term for Internet commentators, who are hired by Chinese authorities in an attempt to manipulate public opinion to the benefit of the Chinese Communist Party. It was created during the early phases of the Internet's rollout to the wider public in China.

The name is derived from the fact that such commentators are reportedly paid RMB¥0.50 for every post.

Linkerbaan is similar but hasn't evolved yet. Still an obvious shill.

It needs more content. The last post was 9 months ago.

I'll see what I can come up with. Maybe I'll post something.
