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.

Do they think they'll get more back from selling people's data than they'll have lost in sales?

Yes

I see you're describing a case-by-case basis, but I'm still failing to see how it's case-by-case. /s

They think they own most of the guns because they've built a whole culture around it. What they don't realize is there are plenty of non-Rs who own guns too as a hobby or protection, but their whole identity isn't "I'm a gun owner" so they don't go around hoopin' and hollarin' that they own guns.

12 people found him guilty 34 times. 408 times guilty!

I don't know about PS2 HDMI, but they do make composite to HDMI converters

I'll be dead. They can have all of that.

We ultimately don't know what is going to survive the digital revolution. I wonder what's going to be lost to time and what historians and archeologists will be able to recover and view centuries or millennia in the future.

Between this and the study of whale language, are we on the precipice of actually being able to have a rudimentary conversation with another intelligent species on the planet?

To the top with you! I see some opinions quoted, but yours is the right answer.

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.

and in a stunning failure of corporate communication

This is my main takeaway from this situation. Seems like the casino knew it was getting a deal too good to be true and CF went straight to strong arm tactics instead of inviting the other side to the table to discuss the issue and find a way forward that's good for both parties.

If you like the Mad Max movies, you'll like Furiosa.

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.
