Posting a bit more today than I usually would to try to help debug thread visibility issues between kbin and Lemmy.
Edit: seeing if I can get the comment to federate now that the magazine is sending data to lemmy again.

Posting a bit more today than I usually would to try to help debug thread visibility issues between kbin and Lemmy.
I mentioned over on last week's discussion thread over on ani.social that the oldest anime I currently have access to is the Lupin the Third Pilot Film -- and so I dug it out and watched it! This version is from the DVD re-release a few years ago so I'm not sure if it's exactly the same as the one from 1969 or if it has adaptations from when it was shown on TV later -- thus the "?" in the title.
FYI: I linked this thread on ernest's latest devlog in the hopes that it helps having a specific example for debugging.
Trying to do a bit of detective work on the posts themselves -- it looks like recent posts aren't federating out to Lemmy? Your post has been up for 24 hours without federating to ani.social or lemmy.world or lemmy.ml or lemmy.dbzer0.com or reddthat.com (at least prior to making this comment). Some comments from lemmy.world made it to one of my posts (the rain one from ~5 days ago) including a back and forth with a response today (~10 hours ago), but those comments aren't federating to any other instances.
Hmm... I think something broke.

There are two US antitrust cases against Google right now:
- U.S. and Plaintiff States v. Google LLC (2020) (in trial; list of many documents)
- U.S. and Plaintiff States v. Google LLC (2023) (Complaint PDF)
The first is related to things like paying to be the default search engine on iPhone, Firefox, etc. The second is related to ad tech. Neither really directly addresses the issues that average people have with Google's behavior though, so keep filing complaints!
That's exactly how I wrote the community links in my original post on kbin though. i.e. the literal text I posted for the first sentence is: I was introduced to the boykisser/girlkisser meme over in [!196@lemmy.blahaj.zone](/c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone) recently, and today the power of memes compelled me to make this. I think something is not getting translated correctly when sending the message from kbin to lemmy. Maybe kbin is converting it to a link first and then sending that to lemmy instead of the literal text of my comment?
Related to linking, is there a syntax for instance-relative post linking? (Or even just a good recommendation for how to link threads without driving people insane?)
CommunityLinkFixerBot replied to my first comment here, but (1) bot messages do not federate to kbin (I checked the post on ani.social manually to make sure it showed up the way I expected and saw an extra comment counted; if I hadn't done that I'd have never seen the message), and (2) I linked with the exclamation_mark-community-atsign-domain syntax as it recommended so I'm not sure what's going wrong or how to fix it. Maybe there's kbin/lemmy interoperability weirdness in how my post was conveyed?
I don't think kbin and lemmy support mutual direct messages, so at-ing you on this post since I'm not sure how else to get in contact with you to see what's going on with the bot.
I was introduced to the boykisser/girlkisser meme over in !196 recently, and today the power of memes compelled me to make this.
I've tagged it as OC since I made this meme image for kbin/lemmy specifically -- i.e. it's not a repost from reddit or 4chan or wherever -- but the image is, of course, based on a screenshot from Karakai Jozu no Takagi-san. I asked recently on my "Shinobu Horror Story" post to !animepics about whether or not this is the right idea on how to use the OC flag, but didn't get feedback. (Actually, does that OC flag even get copied over to lemmy or is that just a kbin thing...?) Anyway, let me know if you have opinions on this.
Is this related to the image from the "IT CANT BE" thread?
Edit -- link to thread I'm mentioning (kbin + ani.social; should be equivalent +/- federation weirdness):

Meta question: Is there a way to link threads so that users can see the post on their own instance?
No way is AI going to end capitalism.
In the medium term we will end up with AI corporations. I already consider existing corporations to be human-based swarm intelligences -- they're made up of people but their overall large scale behavior is often surprising and we already anthropomorphize them as having will and characteristic behaviors separate from the people they're made of. AI corporations are just the natural evolution of existing corporations as they continue down the path of automation. To the extent they copy the existing patterns of behavior, they will have the same general personality.
Their primary motive will be maximizing profit since that's the goal they will inherit from the existing structure. The exact nature of that depends on the exact corporation that's been fully cyberized and different corporations will have different takes on it as a result. They are unlikely to give any more of a damn about individual people than existing corporations do since they will be based on the cyberization of existing structures, but they're also unlikely to deliberately go out of their way to destroy humanity either. From the perspective of a corporation -- AI-based or traditional -- humanity is a useful resource that can be exploited; there isn't much profit to be gained from wiping it out deliberately.
Instead of working for the boss, you'll be working for the bot -- and other bots will be figuring out exactly how much they can extract from you in rent and bills and fees and things without the whole system crashing down.
That might result in humanity getting wiped out accidentally; humanity has wiped out plenty of species due to greed and shortsightedness. I doubt it will be intentional if they do though.
