What does blocking on kbin actually do? I’m asking because it seems incomplete, to put it mildly. If you block someone, they can still see what you post and reply to you and you’re still sent notifications of their replies, even though you can’t see the comment itself (or any replies other people make to comments of an...
This was my first thought. The TV adaptation at least. I’ve watch the first few episodes a few times and never feel the draw to keep going. Just kind of forget I started.
Maybe I just miss Reddit is Fun, not Reddit, but I still have RiF installed (I just can't delete it) and it still "works". I can't sign in or participate, but fuck I miss browsing everything. I've definitely replaced it with Kbin, but opening the RiF app just gives me sadness. Fuck spez.
Yeah this is where I’m at. Not part of my casual reading. Just part of my internet search if I’m after something specific. Basically just a database now.
TBH that’s Facebook for me as well. Just go there occasionally for very specific reasons. But not to spend time. Which is a shame, as I have a lot of good friends there. But Meta had to go and fuck that place up as well.
What the title says. I think the site needs to reach critical mass sooner rather than later, and on top of the relatively low activity for now, we want to avoid obstacles to new migration, even if it's small convenience stuff. So, what would make your life easier as a kbin user?...
Not only that, but there’s a lot of duplication of topics across different magazines. If you could “multibin” them into a meta magazine, that would be really helpful.
Focused on a quartet of mismatched characters forced to live together by circumstance, "Red Dwarf" is a situation comedy in its purest form. The thing that sets it apart is that said situation is somewhere in the middle of deep space, three million years in the future on a dilapidated, city-sized spaceship Red Dwarf, arguably...
I’ve never read any Banks. How would you compare him to Alastair Reynolds? I’m a HUGE Reynolds fan, especially stuff like House of Suns and Pushing Ice.
I’m looking for some new epic space opera to read :)
I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but many politicians. I think a large fraction are genuinely trying their best to make a difference (according to their values) and get constantly hit from all sides with any flaws/mistakes being amplified beyond reason.
There are also ones who should be locked up. But in general, this is a job I’d never want to have or put up with.
Agreed. And the series is somewhat a different angle of the same story (as described by Howey, who’s been heavily involved in the translation to screen). Highly recommended!
Yes this is the correct response. The standard model is the standard model because it’s stood the test of decades of challenges. One paper does not topple this.
EDIT: also note, the early galaxy formation challenges are interesting but don’t require a revision of the cosmological model. The data is new and many of these results will be revised into the “less spectacular” bin (this is already happening).

Sci-fi you couldn’t get into?
What’s a piece of SF that you just couldn’t get into, even though you feel like you should?...
Anyone else still kinda miss Reddit?
