Social networks are inherently monopolistic because people follow the crowd, and federation is meant to counteract that tendency toward userbase consolidation.
It's just that network effects are real. I want to be where all the smart, fun people are, not on a ded site or nazi island. I don't really care about who's on my instance, just who's on the network. Federation and decentralization were never huge selling points for me. And as Mastodon demonstrated, most people just want to log onto a big network and don't care or want to think about instances.
Core Nominal Growth is Falling—and Inflation Expectations Have Normalized. That Could Lead the Fed to Hold off on a Rate Hike.
Skip raising rates this month.

665 - Beltway Phoenix: Total Brandonization feat. Dave Weigel (9/23/22)
Episode art
Matt and Chris are once again joined by “Punished” Dave Weigel to look at the final matchups in the 2022 mid term elections. With the election shaping up to be a referendum on Dobbs vs. “The Economy”, do the Democrats have it in them to pull off an unexpected win? Is McConnell trying to throw the race? Do you really need a functioning brain to be a U.S. Senator? Answers to all this and more within.

I’m happy to announce a new 0.7 release of the CSV.jl package. This is the last anticipated release before an official 1.0 release, and can be considered a 1.0 “trial run”. Major changes include: Deprecations CSV.read(file; kw...) has been deprecated in favor of DataFrame!(CSV.File(file; kw...))...
