  • Threads takes an important baby step toward true fediverse integration

    Jump

  • There's a lot of shitty things they can do. They could push for changes to ActivityPub that nobody sane wants, confusing everybody that says "We support ActivityPub", and spread FUD about anyone that doesn't move to their new shitty version. Similar to how Google pushes through changes to web standards that benefit them, forcing Firefox to implement them too.

  • Nope, those are all not clickable. Probably requires logging in or something. Does not inspire confidence in them being a long-term team player, but we'll see what happens I guess 🤷

  • Interesting. Can't tell if that worked because it wants me to log in. Wonder why they don't just allow appending the instance at the end like the rest of the fediverse does. Does that post show the username as plain text for you as well? It's still showing that way for me.

  • The advantage of the Fediverse is exactly that, that each instance can decide if they federate or not. The thing that I'm wary of is a renewal of Embrace, extend, and extinguish. I'd like to think that Zuckerberg isn't going to try playing dirty tricks, but we'll see what happens if and when Threads ever becomes really successful.

  • Sometimes you think of better titles after you've already posted. Also thought of "Archie gets sloppy seconds" but now it's been up for too long for me to want to edit it. Sometimes simpler is better anyways

  • Midwest wins funding for a new hydrogen hub. Not everyone is convinced it's 'clean.'

    Jump

  • I generally view hydrogen as fossil fuels' last gasp at relevance. It might be useful in some very specific cases, but mostly it just doesn't make sense. It leaks through metal and is way more complex and finicky than wind/solar/battery. Let's invest heavily in advancing battery tech and then we'll solve the base load issue too. Iron air batteries are looking promising for that.

    Jump

  • Weird that the artist sort of drew them each as if on a staff but not really

  • Are those supposed to be music notes? It looks like the clown is getting stabbed with weird needles

  • No need to boil the ocean

    Jump

  • Like that bit in Parks & Rec where people are scared of flouride in the drinking water, so they rebrand it as H₂Flow and everyone loves it.

    There's truth to that quote of "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it"

  • You're older than you think

    Jump

  • Yeah, good point. For anyone wondering, it's unlikely to happen again though, because due to competitive pressures any new proto-life would just be called "food".

  • Comic panel fakes / edits / requests thread

  • Here's one that's only slightly edited:

    Here's the original panel, the text is the same in both, but someone edited it to remove the glasses:

    Barbara: Oh Bruce -- then there is no one else?

    Bruce: Just you and me, my love...

  • Anybody know anything about this panel / recognize the artist? I couldn't track it down, and it looks too well-done to be a complete fake.

  • This panel has been edited. I've seen it posted with "dick was slang for advice back then", but Wiktionary doesn't support that usage.

    Captain America: Maybe I do, Shellhead... maybe I do.

    Original panel is from Captain America (1968) #176, page 9:
