That is sobering.

But it sounds like that report / wargame is from the Biden administration, so it could be up to 4 years old. Since then the US has not been standing still and is deploying their first hypersonic systems now - https://www.armyrecognition.com/focus-analysis-conflicts/army/defence-security-industry-technology/exclusive-u-s-army-dark-eagle-deployment-in-2025-marks-u-s-entry-into-hypersonic-arms-race-with-china-and-russia

Even so, politically, it is questionable whether US would come to the aid of Taiwan, regardless of the military balance.

A big update!

Yeah a lot of countries have gone full mask off.

I think the elite know that time is running out so they’re going all-in. Everyone’s time horizon has gotten real short.

The imposition of a oil blockade would be a declaration of war, effectively.

Currently, there is no AP. But yes the real solution to this, where all the followers from all instances end up shifting themselves to the new community, would involve the federation of Move activity, somehow.

As you allude to, doing this with the right authority & permission is tricky. But as long as the Move is in an Announce that is signed by the origin community, that can be accepted by others as legitimate. The origin community knows the instances where all the followers are located.

So the process would have to be initiated by a mod on the origin instance.

Also the destination instance would need to have created a community on their end first, before all the other instances start asking for the AP representation. So probably a Move would need to go there first, then wait for an Accept to come back before federating the Move to all other instances.

Group members are not listed publicly or available over ActivityPub - the only server that knows who all the group members are is the one hosting the community. All other instances only know about their local users and which groups they’re in.

The solution I’m leaning towards is to federate a Move activity to all instances and have those instances change their local users to be a part of the new community instead. This will only work for PieFed instances as Lemmy does not understand ‘Move’.

Not really anything serious.

By poking around https://bonfire.fediverse.observer/list I found two (and only two) with open sign ups that do not say “demo and testing instance”:

It’s kinda amazing to me how they convinced so many people to give them money when that is all they have. I guess people want to have hope.

The story was invented so people would subscribe to his substack, which exists to promote his company.

We’re being manipulated into sharing made-up rage-bait in order to put money in his pocket.

The answer to that is literally in the first sentence of the body of the article I linked to.

GPTZero is 99% accurate.

https://gptzero.me/ is free, give it a try. Generate some slop in ChatGPT and copy and paste it in.

I’ve tested lots and lots of different ones. GPTZero is really good.

If you read the article again, with a critical perspective, I think it will be obvious.

FYI this article is written with a LLM.

Don’t believe a story just because it confirms your view!

Yes, piefed.social hasn’t received anything from them for a few hours.

FYI I’ve just added a score parameter to the community RSS feeds so you can get a RSS feed of posts at or above that score. e.g. https://piefed.social/community/fediverse/feed?score=20

Looks like it was taken care of https://lemmy.zip/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=26433303

Way ahead of you, ozzies! https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta/p/1523426/labelling-or-hiding-ai-generated-content

These two new features have complete API support so I’m hoping the client apps get on board with these quicker than they have been able to in the past.
