  • A Peak At Piefed

  • There’s lots of episodes of the podcast, it follows our adventures as we’ve built FediHost and the projects and people like Rimu we have been meeting along the way. If you’ve got questions about Piefed let us know and we’ll ask next time.

  • [PieFed] Managed PieFed hosting with fedihost.co

    Jump

  • FediHost handles storage differently to most managed hosting providers. You can buy it separately as-needed and it's shared in a pool across all your services. We actually started the service after I (Paige) found it annoying that on another provider I was having to upgrade my whole plan (RAM, Database etc) just because I'd run out of media storage. We're also planning to add that flexibility to database storage as well in the next year.

  • Should Canada implement automatic tax filing?

    Jump

  • The way I look at it, if we get automatic filing it’s like giving many people a national half-day holiday.Also one less American cultural norm.

  • This guide outlines how to start a podcast for people who are already running PeerTube.

  • True, I'll point this out.

  • Because if you're already running (or want to run) a PeerTube instance you can save yourself from having to setup and maintain another thing.

  • Could publicly-owned grocery stores break Canada’s grocery oligopoly?

    Jump

  • I don’t have a universal like or dislike of publicly owned companies. Expending limited resources and political capital on running a supermarket before trying any antitrust regulation is a waste of governmental resources.

  • Could publicly-owned grocery stores break Canada’s grocery oligopoly?

    Jump

  • Terrible solution.Break up and split the wholesale and retail operations. Legislate against wholesale pricing discrimination (Wholesale pricing cannot have price breaks which exclude smaller competitors)

    Am I alone in this feeling?

    Jump

  • One option is to get involved with fairvote. I was in the US for the election and it felt good to be doing something about the underlying systemic issue that made this so much worse in the US.

  • Added a basic plugin system

  • This is a great direction to go

  • Shows that were only popular in your country?

  • “Have you ever, ever felt like this” Australasian solidarity kicks in like we’re standing in Anzac cove.

  • Shows that were only popular in your country?

    Jump

  • I run into an Australian about once a year in Montreal and suddenly launching into singing that song within the first minute is the fastest way possible to make a new friend.

  • Why did Canada just cave to Trump by scrapping the Digital Services Tax?

    Jump

  • We should have just increased GST a small amount across the board instead of creating a tax that had such a concentrated impact on businesses from the country that is our largest trading partner.There are these things that Canada does to protect industry or raise funds, but there are consequences for the quite convoluted way we go about it. VATs are a normal thing around the world, but we engineer these weird solutions to try to hide our protectionism.For example instead of raising taxes and subsidizing the news media as a public good, we made (certain) Silicon Valley companies pay (certain) publishers for linking to them. Facebook then said it just won’t link to them and now there’s no news on Facebook. This was a backfire.Instead of GST we could have taxed lots of things, fiber internet plans, advertising or digital services across the board, many people warned against the Trudeau era bills, they caused a rift with Biden too, and we’ve now lost the game of chicken and wasted 4 years on something we had to tear up.

  • The Selfish Gene.As soon as the concept clicked halfway through the book my days as an evangelical were over.It was interesting to me to hear years later that Wall Street types found it influential, because the thing I found most compelling was the explanation of why altruism and social generosity were rational traits.

  • Thanks for clarifying, I was worried for a second.

  • Theoretical Private Age Confirmation -- Possible?

    Jump

  • Totally possible and something you can do already with digital ID. Checkout RealMe in New Zealand: https://www.govt.nz/browse/passports-citizenship-and-identity/proving-and-protecting-your-identity/use-realme-to-prove-your-identity-online/

    A big issue is that many countries are a decade behind in implementing this system. They’re effectively asking the liquor store to check customers are 18, without government ID existing. So now the private sector is creating ID solutions to avoid legal liability. It’s a real mess.
