I'd appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.

    Scifi isn't actually popular

    Jump

  • Don't forget to add just the right amount of ultraviolence. But you might be in the wrong community. I think sci fi is pretty popular here... and it always inevitably says something about the issues of the present day in which it's written.

    Trump demands Panama lower Canal fees or return it to US

  • They probably can't afford to double the fees for everyone, their canal would be out of business. But double the fees only for American-flagged vessels might be feasible.

  • The Activism Trap: A Critical Analysis of the Social Media Federalization Interpellation

  • It turns out that "critical" here means argumentative, entirely one-sided, and full of spurious objections.

  • MRW I finally watch Lower Decks and realize that "adult animation" doesn't mean "boring to children", and just means "violence, profanity, and sophomoric humor"

  • Need those unit conversions

    Jump

  • My first thought was "why would you ever buy it in amounts less than an 8th, that's not much" but I guess I had heard of such a thing as a dime bag which I have only just now learned was 1g. I always thought it meant "$10 worth" or something, and was for tourists who didn't know they were paying too much for too little.

  • I don't know about the 1970s but in the late '80s it seems to me that none of the weed dealers had gone metric yet. I assumed this meme was about cocaine.

  • Wait, who is he inviting to pray for Intel? Everyone? Me?

    O beloved Intel, producer of microchips Let thy wafers be smooth and flawless And the microcode free of bugs May your processors faithfully execute And never be troubled by spectres Through the profits of thy business units The world knows the might of America

  • Wikipedia says "the inner region has thermodynamically no entropy and may be thought of as a gravitational Bose–Einstein condensate" if that helps

  • Threads takes an important baby step toward true fediverse integration

    Jump

  • Perhaps there will be an infinite number of steps, each of them getting smaller and smaller as the result asymptotically approaches whatever barely-functional sham version of federation is deemed most profitable for Meta Platforms Inc.

  • Threads uses can now "follow" fediverse accounts but "only if they’ve interacted with a post on Threads" and the posts "wont appear in your feeds."

    Well played, Zuck. Hilarious.

    Jump

  • I'm not sure what approach would work. As I understand it, it's designed around the idea that all messages get routed through a monolithic "relay" which needs to see every single event from every user in order for any of them to get routed between the PDS nodes where user data gets stored.

    Probably best to just add ActivityPub on top of it, if they really wanted to federate with anyone.

    Jump

  • Just a hunch, but I think no decentralised network is going to run ATProto unless someone other than Bluesky forks it and makes the protocol changes that would allow that to be practical. I guess it's possible, in theory?

  • Is there any truth to this?

    Jump

  • When I looked at bsky it seemed to be about 60% pointing out stupid shit that Trumpists have recently said and done, and 30% self-congratulatory talk about how popular bluesky is this week.
