Before you were mommy’s angel you were daddy’s little squirt

With options trading, a lot of stock movement is reflective of speculation rather than true value.

Does ActivityPub report back bans to the user’s home instance? I could see a moderation tool that let the admin autoban their users if enough federated instances had banned them.

I always report. However, I heard that the report only goes to the admin of your instance. Maybe future releases will support cross instance reporting and the ability for admins to “trust” bans by admins from other instances.

Here’s one: https://kbin.social/m/random/t/1060795 I always see them popping up under random@kbin.social

Bots are already proliferating the fediverse. Kbin is constantly spammed with “buy online drugs here” links. Transparent bots (those that are tagged as bots) try to boost engagement by reposting things from Reddit, but are still perpetuating one of the worst aspects of reddit even if they’re being upfront about it. AI generated articles posted on obvious junk websites are constantly being spammed by the same accounts.

It’s a difficult problem to solve.

Disinformation via AI is going to be absurd, especially if Google keeps going down the path of “Here’s an AI summary of search results”. It’s only a matter of time before someone figures out how to manipulate the AI through bad data.

Google has already lost the SEO war and they (supposedly) knew how their algorithms worked. How do they ever expect to control the AI black box?

You have some strangely in-depth shower thoughts.

I’ll absolutely watch it, and if they tell a compelling story I will smile and shrug and not let it affect my enjoyment.

Ditto.

The Dune timeline in the books covers something like 20,000 from the beginning of interstellar space travel up to and through the Atreides dynasty and all it kicks off.

I believe Frank Herbert took the stance that once technology gets to that level, it remains static as there is little else to discover/develop.

Whew, I’m glad I’m not the only one.

Everyone has superhero fatigue, seems like a great time to develop another superhero show!

We really don’t tell Musk to go back to his own country enough.

Fuck yeah, I’d be down for a QuietAfternoon2000. Hell, do they make one for adults? I’m ready for a good nap.

I question if you’re American. No American I’ve ever met says “USA”. It’s always “US” or “Americans”. USA is only said as a chant of pride.

They were just keeping with the strong tradition established by the Greeks and Romans of gods that rape everyone and everything.

That’s a good stopping point. I would like to see Children of Dune on screen too, but beyond that I think it would be difficult to successfully translate the themes of the rest of the books onto screen for a broad audience like he’s managed to do with the first one.

I agree with the idea of small communities being interconnected with a massive distribution of public transit. I would love to walk everywhere from my daily necessities, but still making it easy to get to larger social centers for other needs. I think that should be the goal we strive for as a society.

Not what I said, but go ahead and make your absurd conclusions. Just for the record, I’m 100% for public transportation, EVs, renewable energy, and getting off the fossil fuel tit.

If we’re ever going to pull people along the path to that future, we have to accept and acknowledge the exceptions. Not all the time, but don’t ignore it like most articles I’ve read on the topic. I believe division occurs when people feel they are being ignored.

It shouldn’t. There should be acknowledgement of the exceptions.
