Tales from the Terrordrome

  • What way did the Titan submersible implode?

    Jump

  • This is a good example, it's a hydrophone recording of a glass sphere imploding, the level of sound and echo should give you a good idea of the kind of forces we're dealing with:

  • What's your solution to end all wars?

    Jump

  • Easy enough, we just build a jail so big that we can fit the entire world inside of it, boom no more crime.

  • Why we need to move on from kbin.social

    Jump

  • Frankly I think we need more people before we can start getting concerned about things like that. If we're trying to make the Fediverse a viable alternative it has to be appealing and easy enough to use that people want to use it. If we don't get that right this whole thing is doomed from the start

  • Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg agree to hold cage fight

    Jump

  • At first everything about this was infuriating but now I want to see the entire C-suite of Meta and Twitter face off in gladiatorial combat, and we can stream it all on twitch and bet on who will live

  • The Curse of Recursion: Training on Generated Data Makes Models Forget

    Jump

  • Yeah it does not portend well for the future, especially combined with the current explosion of low quality, profit driven content. I fear if left unchecked we could approach some kind of Kessler Syndrome-style scenario where desire for rapid growth and profit will poison the well in the long term. "Garbage in, garbage out"

  • Reddit's response about the actions they took against the subreddits (note: r/mildly interesting DID NOT encourage nsfw content and their suspensions and removal have been revoked by a diff admin)

    Jump

  • Its that good old American puritanical spirit at work

  • The immediate future of the subreddit [r/chess] is in question after our latest subreddit poll. Results and the situation so far

    Jump

  • "Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death"

    What were some "bad habits" on reddit that we should try to avoid bringing over here?

  • ChatGPT can now generate working Windows 11 keys for free | Digital Trends

  • The live page psuedo app is working well for me on grapheneOS with the vanadium browser, I do also get a random 503 error but it's already so much better than a couple days ago

    Discord, Twitter, Reddit, and Tumblr have something in common and it's not good

    Jump

  • It would help alot If telecom/internet infrastructure was treated like our other infrastructure. Not to mention the literal billions of dollars in fraud that companies like Verizon and Comcast get away with. I still get mad when I think about how they were given massive sums of money to expand fiber optic infrastructure and gave themselves bonuses instead.

  • What free apps and games are good to put on an android phone?

    Jump

  • Go download Fdroid and go to town, its a great repository of FOSS android apps

  • What is the most disturbing book you have ever read?

    Jump

  • A Scanner Darkly is an incredibly moving and haunting novel to anyone who's ever struggled with drug addiction. For a nonfiction book probably "Kill Anything That Moves" which is about the horrifying and infuriatting reality of the U.S. war in Vietnam, and "The Hot Zone" by Richard Preston

  • Reddit CEO Steve Huffman: 'It's time we grow up and behave like an adult company'

    Jump

  • Sure, they're going to be an adult company now and turn all of those memes, anime and genital pics into sweet sweet ad money, just like a real megacorp!

  • Reddit CEO slams protesters, calls them “landed gentry”

    Jump

  • It's really a shame that everything good and valuable in the world has to be boiled down to a fucking dollar sign..

  • I think a key thing going forward is that the fediverse/whatever comes next becomes a new repository for community sourced information/discussion/resources/etc

  • I haven't been on reddit in a few days but before I left I recall seeing someone post a github link that touted something like that for lemmy instances. Haven't found anything for kbin but I know there are tools out there for scraping data/images/etc from different subreddits and users

  • I love the chaos at the moment

    Jump

  • Me too, I think reddit is going to keep enough bootlickers to stay running but I hope the fragmentation will result in a better and more interesting internet. Anyone here old enough to remember the days of TOTSE?

  • Please, I need help to understand the interface of kbin

    Jump

  • One thing that helped me get a handle on things was creating my own magazine and just playing around with it. Magazines = subreddits, and articles = threads. An article is meant to be more text based, and you can also select the option to upload pictures/links to the magazine instead. I haven't messed with the whole microblog section but if you select "add post" it will upload to the microblog of the selected magazine instead of the thread list. Boosts are different from likes in that they boost your personal 'reputation' instead of ranking thread popularity.

    Overall I really like the level of customization kbin offers, definitely needs some UI improvements but it kinda feels like a hyperpowered version of reddit once you get used to it.

    I know it's wishful thinking but I really hope all the media coverage of the protests will tank Reddits upcoming IPO.

  • What Are You Playing?

    Jump

  • I played the BattleBit Remastered open beta this weekend and had alot of fun, I swear if they just made direct clones of all the BF3 maps and added planes+ships I would probably never stop playing. Hell Let Loose has been alot of fun too, even though the latest update kinda sucked
