Threads seems to be beginning to test ActivityPub federation, and since Kbin can be used for microblogging, this affects kbin.social. What are your thoughts on federating or defederating with them?
No. Fuck Facebook, and fuck Zuck. There isn't a world in which they would federate and respect our privacy.
See how they build internal user profiles for users not on Facebook through tags and other metadata scraping techniques. If people you know talk about you on Facebook, there's a shadow profile about you out there, waiting to connect with you in real time. I have no reason to think they wouldn't do the same kind of shit here.
This. All of this. It's fine if the goal is to let the active communities bubble to the top organically, but that doesn't mean much if people can't easily find them.
It would be nice if there was a way to load-share communities among the instances or something, kind of like a mesh network.
Reminder that Project 2025 is a Heritage Foundation plan to gut the powers of Congress and policy-making commissions, and to disproportionately empower the Executive branch.
I do not think for a minute that the 2026 date is accidental.
I don't think it's an agenda, I think it's just poorly delivered. The facts are:
Teen hacks corps using a Fire Stick.
Teen has done something novel with proprietary hardware.
I think it's safe to assume that he's intelligent and creative based on those two things. With proper guidance from the right kinds of people (including parents), someone like that could eventually put those talents to use on someone's Red Team, or working with an intelligence agency, rather than doing something illegal to stretch their wings (fuck big corporations, but the law is what it is).
I don't think it's unreasonable to note that his talents will be wasted by grinding him down in the justice system.
You won't get interoperability without people creating these kinds of apps. There's no reason Company A would futureproof their platform to communicate with apps that don't exist, because that's unnecessary development; the interoperability comes after the platforms exist. Email is a prime example of this.
A member of the Proud Boys has disappeared ahead of his sentencing on charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, according to an arrest warrant unsealed on Friday....
It all has to do with evaluating flight risk, with his lawyers asserting a reasonable belief to the judge that he's not one (prosecutors likewise can make their own recommendations). Bail can be denied, but from what I understand from legal podcasts, most cases have release conditions.
The fact that he skipped town means his lawyer might get in some trouble, but it almost certainly means this guy is royally fucked when they find him. It doesn't look good to juries when you run away.
I am probably unqualified to speak about this, as I am using an RX 550 low profile and a 768P monitor and almost never play newer titles, but I want to kickstart a discussion, so hear me out....
As far as people with lower-end systems being unable to enjoy newer titles, I'd like to point you to the prolific and endlessly creative indie scene. Yes, you may not be able to play the latest AAA "Skyrim Ultra Remaster DX: Penultimate Boogaloo - GotY Edition," but there's lots of gems out there that don't require the latest GPUs.
But as for realistic graphics, there's actually an aspect you may buy be aware of: game companies actually influence the movie industry. Because games not only have to deliver realism but realism in real time, they have to constantly invent new techniques. The movie industry picks up these techniques and makes better movies.
Plus, IMO, improvements are always welcome. Death Stranding had some of the best mocap I've seen in both the movie and videogame industries, and don't feel those improvements were wasted effort.
That was my thought as well. Maybe she knew she was close to getting caught and hoped to be labeled criminally insane for some kind of imagined lighter sentence.
In the US, at least, being deemed insane by the courts lands you in unpleasant, secure psychiatric facilities whose patients are often forgotten and abused worse than inmates, but maybe it's better in the UK...?
This current version of humans? No. But could it ever happen? Absolutely, if we assume our future evolutionary human descendants survive and provided we can supply everyone's needs.
No, I just watch content from evolutionary biologists, because it's something I'm interested in.
It may not be that our version of the species will be renamed, but since species delineations are somewhat arbitrary (where does one generation stop and one start, when it's actually a gradual process?), future generations of biologists may decide that we are something else. Either way, we won't be around to know!
The Senate Judiciary Committee is expected to vote Thursday on a new ethics code for the Supreme Court, an attempt to respond to recent revelations about justices’ interactions with wealthy donors and others. Republicans are strongly opposed, arguing the ethics bill could “destroy” the high court.
