Inflation is either expected or unexpected.

  • unexpected inflation causes hyperinflation
  • expected inflation is priced into the rates offered

The burden of inflation - who actually pays for it - falls on whoever needs the deal more. Lenders can invest anywhere, but borrowers need that money here and now. We're paying for most of the inflation as higher interest rates.

    Digital artists and illustrators are abandoning Elon Musk’s blogging platform X (formerly Twitter) over the introduction of a new controversial image-editing feature powered by artificial intelligence (AI). According to reports, the creators claimed that the new tool could be used to modify others’ works without their consent.

    One such popular creator championing the boycott is Mu-jik Park, the renowned South Korean artist known by the pen name Boichi. Boichi is the creator of the hit manga series Dr Stone and Sun-Ken Rock.

     

    My understanding of federation is that it's like email. If one server is misbehaving, then they get defederated.

    So how come email spam still exists - why don't spammer domains get defederated? It seems like we've got the worst of both worlds, where it's hard to get your emails relayed when you run a small email server, and easy to get them relayed if you're a spammer.

    Is there anything about Lemmy's architecture that will prevent this problem?
