No, it is not federated. It might be worth trying to see what can be learned from Ibis - https://github.com/Nutomic/ibis
Prices are set by supply and demand, not by sellers thinking the market can bear it. If a baker raises their prices then eaters can just go to a different baker.
If demand increases because fewer people are struggling AND supply can't increase at the same rate then yes there could be price increases. But it's because of the demand, not just because the sellers want it.
In the case of housing where supply can't increase very quickly, yeah rents could go up a bit. So there needs to be plenty of new social housing built by the government alongside UBI, to supply enough to meet demand.
Some other inflationary effects could be counteracted by taxing the shit out of the rich.
UBI at nation-state scale wouldn't happen in isolation, there would be various other policies happening at the same time.

"Do you regularly watch videos by Jordan Peterson?" kinda needs to become one of those before-first-date screening questions.
I saw a snippet of it.
The code was using a function to connect to mysql that was deprecated in PHP 5 and removed in PHP 7. So they must have been running PHP 5.x. It also contained an obvious SQL injection vuln (although that wasn't used for the hack).
It's on the radar, yes.
Cool, but now SSH into a remote server and then try to open nano. It doesn't.
After using it for 3 weeks I concluded that as Kitty breaks the fundamentals all the nice shiny isn't worth it.
if you turn off "Show posts from child feeds" on the Forumverse feed then https://piefed.social/f/lemmycategories will load much faster...
That's pretty cool. Lots of potential for richer warnings than a beep on the right or left too, like a voice saying "a bike is Infront of you, move right 2 feet".
Yes, for sure. I think the old community would Announce a Move activity to all followers, which would cause all the other instances to update their Follows to point to the new community.
Can you recommend an instance?
It doesn't do subscriptions. That would need to be initiated on the old community and currently all the old communities are on Lemmy instances, so that's a non-starter.
The process outlined above is "co-operative" in the sense that the moderators of the old community have decided to make the move and initiate the process themselves using their piefed.social accounts.
But also anyone could choose to 'fork' the old community, with or without the old community mods involvement. The old community would not be locked and would continue as-is while the local copy of it would then be a separate community with all the old content in it. They would then diverge from that point onwards.
I imagine there might sometimes be a need to reverse this process too, to re-associate a local community with it's remote counterpart. Or to merge two communities...
Moving communities between instances
When a community needs to move to another instance, it can be a rocky process.
It doesn't need to be, though - as long as someone on your instance has been a part of the community for a while your instance will already have quite a lot of the content from the old community. All we need to do is change our record of which instance the community belongs to and that's what PieFed's new 'Move community' feature does. Check out the video for a quick demo.
The full process is:
- Ensure the copy of the community on this instance has been active long enough to receive a decent amount of posts. The move process will not copy posts so having an account on this instance subscribed to it for a while is the only way to get old posts here.
- Lock the old community to by setting it to 'moderators only' so no one else can post in it.
- Create a post in the old community announcing the impending move to piefed.social. Paste the url of that post into the field below.

Elon Musk, the de facto head of DOGE, lowered expectations of the group’s savings from $1 trillion to $150 billion by the end of the fiscal year.
So, a failure even on their own terms.
This idea is quite similar to what Bluesky is doing, with "Labels" https://docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/moderation.
We'd need some way to crowdsource the verification and validity of the labels so people can't just put low-quality or abusive labels everywhere.
It could potentially reduce the amount of work moderators need to do because spam would be labelled as such by anyone and if a few others also label it the same then it would reach a threshold where the label becomes active.
Does anyone have experience with this way of moderating content on Bluesky? How well does it work in practice?
That was more interesting than 18 downvotes. Thanks!

It could identify when they were feeling worthless or helpless or like a failure, and [Meta] would take that information and share it with advertisers
the company was letting advertisers know when the teens were depressed so they could be served an ad at the best time. As an example, she suggested that if a teen girl deleted a selfie, advertisers might see that as a good time to sell her a beauty product as she may not be feeling great about her appearance. They also targeted teens with ads for weight loss when young girls had concerns around body confidence
www.theguardian.com ‘Profiting from misery’: how TikTok makes money from child begging livestreams
Exploitation fears as people in extreme poverty perform stunts and beg for virtual gifts
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.sdf.org/post/32280023
Three young children huddle in front of a camera, cross-legged and cupping their hands. “Please support me. We are very poor,” says a boy, staring down the lens.
They appear to be in a mud-brick hut in Afghanistan, living in extreme poverty. But their live stream is reaching viewers in the UK and worldwide – via TikTok Live.
For hours, they beg for virtual “gifts” that can later be exchanged for money. When they get one, they clap politely. On another live stream, a girl jumps up and shouts: “Thank you, we love you!” after receiving a digital rose from a woman in the US, who bought it from TikTok for about 1p. By the time it’s cashed out it could be worth less than a third of a penny.
TikTok says it bans child begging and other forms of begging it considers exploitative, and says it has strict policies on users who go live.
But an Observer **investigation has found the practice widesp

AI-driven weather prediction breakthrough reported - The Guardian

Researchers say Aardvark Weather uses thousands of times less computing power and is much faster than current systems
“This is a completely different approach to what people have done before. The writing’s on the wall that this is going to transform things, it’s going to be the new way of doing forecasting,” Turner said. He said the model would eventually be able to produce accurate eight-day forecasts, compared with five-day forecast at present, as well as hyper-localised predictions.
Dr Scott Hosking, the director of science and innovation for environment and sustainability at the Alan Turing Institute, said the breakthrough could “democratise forecasting” by making powerful technologies available to developing nations around the world, as well as assisting policymakers, emergency planners and industries that rely on accurate weather forecasts.

www.aljazeera.com An open letter to Trump from former Guantanamo prisoners
The 16 signatories condemn Trump’s order to detain undocumented people in the military prison.
Guantanamo is not just a prison – it is a place where law is warped, dignity is stripped, and suffering is hidden behind barbed wire. We lived it. We know the clang of metal doors, the weight of shackles, and the silence of a world that looked away. We know what it means to be caged without charge, without trial, without hope.
Detaining migrants at Guantanamo denies them constitutional protections, trapping them in the same legal limbo we endured. This deliberate ambiguity enables abuse, just as it did with us. We know firsthand what happens when a system is designed to break people. This is not about security; it is about power, control, and using Guantanamo’s darkness to conceal yet another injustice.

PieFed adds multi-reddit, multi-community feature
PieFed just added a multi-reddit feature, which we're calling "Feeds". It combines multiple Communities (actors of type "Group" in ActivityPub) into one.
Feeds can be followed from other PieFed instances, which will subscribe the follower to all the communities in the feed.
Try it out at https://piefed.social/feeds
It's similar to PieFed's concept of a Topic https://piefed.social/topics, except topics are maintained by the instance admins. Feeds are crowdsourced and federated topics.
When you subscribe to the feed (which you can do from a remote Piefed instance, you don't need to be on the same instance as the feed), behind the scenes PieFed subscribes you to all the communities within. If the feed owner adds a community then all the feed subscribers automatically follow/join the new community too.

Most online debate is actively harmful to our thinking. Every hour spent arguing on Twitter is an hour we could have spent reading a book, writing an essay, or having a genuine discussion in a better environment.

When was the last time you participated in an election for an online group chat or sat on a jury for a dispute about a controversial post? Platforms nudge users to tolerate nearly all-powerful admins, moderators, and “benevolent dictators for life.” In Governable Spaces, Nathan Schneider argues that the internet has been plagued by a phenomenon he calls “implicit feudalism”: a bias, both cultural and technical, for building communities as fiefdoms. The consequences have spread far beyond online spaces themselves. Feudal defaults train us to give up on our communities’ democratic potential, inclining us to be more tolerant of autocratic tech CEOs and authoritarian politicians. But online spaces could be sites of a creative, radical, and democratic renaissance. Schneider shows how the internet can learn from governance legacies of the past to become a more democratic medium, responsive and inventive unlike anything that has come before.
