How does that help?

We’re talking about it

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

They of course me c-level executives, not us plebians who do actual work.

That’s the point though, right? It’s all publicity. They don’t want to give it to someone who may actually use it. Give it to the billionaire who will never use it so.

a couple of owners decided to race their trucks

in this rather unscientific race

Did you even read the article? The author was very upfront about the context.

You’re the type of person that wants everyone to min/max everything and say “yeah but if this had happened” or “if they had done this differently”

Get down off your soapbox and appreciate this for what it was: two owners having a fun race for bragging rights. And if Ford comes out in a better light from it than Tesla, that’s not circle jerking over a brand, it’s just another anecdote to pile on top of all of the other stories about how piss poor the Cybertruck is at being an actual truck.

Tesla has branded it as a truck. As a layman who isn’t a Tesla simp or a motorhead, I would expect a comparison with other popular trucks if I were interested in learning more about it.

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.

It’s the enshitification taking hold, which is essentially Wall Street pressing their thumbs on creators to squeeze out every bit of money they can.

There are diamonds out there though, and not a surprise they always come from private or indie companies. These are the games I’ve gravitated to.

I’m struggling to think of any legitimate use cases that actually benefit society. I can only think of nefarious uses for this technology.

I know Hollywood is interested in it for maintaining the legacy of iconic voices in established IPs like James Earl Jones in Star Wars, but I don’t think that benefits society overall. It is neat to potentially have his voice show up in future projects, but that feels like more of a gimmick to justify the technology rather than an actual need.

Want to prove to the world you’re the good guys, definitely start by banning news agencies /s

I’m waiting on the PC version and a decent steam sale. Patient gamer for life!

Should a port scan by a bad actor be considered multiple hacking attempts or a single hacking attempt?

Another way to think about it: if a burglar tries various windows and doors to find an unsecured opening, is that considered multiple burglary attempts or a single burglary attempt?

Can’t wait to see the Karl Jobst update video for this.

Hahaha, love that you came with receipts. People are extremely shortsighted sometimes and think surviving a few bad years means they’ll be around for a while. Companies can take a while to fail and can limp along for years before finally being sold off.

I had the same thought. I always wonder if these types of articles are written with the purpose of sowing negative feelings towards EV in order to maintain the fossil fuel status quo.

EVs are here to stay. Tesla’s valuation drop has nothing to do with consumer appetite for EV and everything to do with the fact that they’re overpriced, poor build quality, questionable design and engineering decisions, and the abyssal oversold failure of full autonomous driving.

Why does anyone still buy HP?
