Questions after coming from Lemmy
Hi folks,
I was using Lemmy for the better part of two years and thought I'd come over to piefed and see what's up. A few things puzzled me and I'm hoping this is the best place to ask.
- It seems all top level comments are locked for replies - is that a server thing? A federation thing?
- Scrolling through All, the content just... stops. I'm using the Boost client (maybe that's why?). I get it if I'm sorting by top hour - there's only so much posted per hour. But it's the same for Hot, Scaled, Active, etc.
Edit: looks like both of these are issues with the Boost client. Switching to Summit on Android resolves both.
Thanks for the help!

Feds Disappear Trans People from “LGBT”
The Trump administration’s war on diversity has a new casualty, removing the “T” (for “transgender”) from “LGBT” in its internal threat reports, according to copies I’ve obtained.
Two federal intelligence reports warning of threats to Pride Day events in June make repeated reference to the dangers to the “LGB+ community” with no mention whatsoever of transgender people. This comes amid the Trump administration’s campaign to capitalize on the death of Charlie Kirk to wage war on transgender suspects as “nihilist violent extremists.”
The sad irony here is that transgender people suffer the highest rate of hate crimes of any group within the LGBT community, underscoring how strange it is to omit them from reports intended to enhance public safety.
Adoption of the “LBG+” acronym has been observed in several other federal agencies since Trump took office, including, as I reported at the time, the State Department. The use of the term by the national security state has not been previously reported.

Tobacco companies aid vape shops in push to repeal Denver flavored tobacco ban, outraising law’s backers
A campaign group seeking to overturn Denver’s ban on flavored tobacco sales in the November election has far outraised supporters of the prohibition, campaign finance records show.
The opponents of the ban, a coalition of Denver vape store owners organized as a group called “Citizen Power!,” raised $410,000 through the end of August, according to campaign finance reports filed this month. The campaign group supporting the ban, “Denver Kids vs. Big Tobacco,” raised about $245,000.
In December, the Denver City Council near-unanimously approved a ban on sales of most flavored tobacco and nicotine products after public health and children’s advocates argued the products could lure young people into a life of addiction.
The council approved the ban, which applies to any sales within city limits, despite heavy lobbying from tobacco companies and vape stores. Mayor Mike Johnston signed it.

Lawmakers and activists call for action after AP reveals US tech role in China's surveillance state
Lawmakers and activists across the political spectrum called on American tech firms to stop selling surveillance equipment to Chinese police and for Congress to examine the issue after The Associated Press reported that U.S. technology had played a far greater role than previously known in enabling human rights abuses by Beijing.
Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri told AP he wanted to summon tech companies before Congress to address how their technology exports were used. Hawley, a longtime critic of U.S. technology companies, bemoaned Silicon Valley’s general lack of cooperation with Congress on that and similar inquiries.
“I think eventually we’re going to have to subpoena these people,” Hawley said.
In a post on the social media site X this month, Hawley vowed that “Big Tech must cut ties with the CCP - or face my committee,” referring to the ruling Chinese Communist Party. Hawley sits on several Senate panels that might have jurisdiction to examine technology issues
An AP investigation published this month revealed that U.S. technology companies to a large degree designed and built China’s surveillance state. Firms including IBM, Dell, and Cisco sold billions in technology to Chinese police and government agencies, despite repeated warnings that such tools were being used to quash dissent, persecute religious sects and target minorities. Companies named in AP’s reporting said they complied with all export control laws.
Yang Caiying, who told AP for its investigation about how her family was targeted by Chinese surveillance using American technology because of their activism in rural Jiangsu, said she was “shocked by the pivotal role that major U.S. tech companies have played” in her family’s ordeal. Yang is now collecting signatures for petitions urging Washington to bar U.S. firms from selling to Chinese police, both online and on the street.
Other lawmakers from both parties urged Congress to beef up export laws to prevent more American technology from being used to fuel human rights abuses abroad.
“China has been utilizing partnerships with U.S. tech companies to build malignant ‘smart cities’ that are used for mass surveillance and human rights abuses against millions of innocent Chinese people,” said Rep. John Moolenaar, a Michigan Republican who chairs the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party. The panel is charged with examining the strategic global competition between the U.S. and China.
“As executives at Nvidia and other American tech companies chase business in China, they cannot deny that their technology will be used to commit atrocities, strengthen China, and weaken America,” Moolenaar said.
Moolenaar called for American companies to work with Congress to write new laws that restrict the export of technologies that enable oppression. and work harder to keep their products from being smuggled into China.

The Fundraising-Industrial Complex Is Eating American Politics
In 2004, political campaigns spent 9 cents of every dollar raised on fundraising operations. By 2024, that number had reached 30 cents. American political campaigns are raising more and more money less and less efficiently. I’ve analyzed data from FEC disbursement records, using an algorithm I developed to classify expenditures by spending category. It reveals that campaigns are now spending 38 cents of every dollar raised just to raise more money—a fourfold increase from the 9 cents spent in 2004. In raw terms, campaigns burned through $3 billion on fundraising operations in 2024 alone.This represents a fundamental shift in how political money flows through our democracy. Twenty years ago, fundraising operations were a necessary but modest expense, like renting office space or printing yard signs. Today, it has metastasized into the primary activity of most campaigns. In 2022, 31% of total expenditures were for fundraising expenses. This came close to exceeding the 33% of total expenditures going towards advertising. If current trends hold in 2026, it’s likely that fundraising costs will for the first time exceed what is spent on advertising, thus becoming the biggest spending category.

Ciò che l’AI non potrà mai inventare
Alimberto Torri
Racconti brevi
Auto pubblicazione
2/01/2025
pp 108
Brevi racconti dallo spessore filosofico condotti e diretti dalla leggerezza del comico e dell’assurdo. Un’opera da ridere perchè la vita è una cosa troppo seria per essere presa seriamente.
Personaggi inventati, ma così inventati da essere veri. Verità profonde, ma così profonde da parer impossibili. Un viaggio alla scoperta di noi stessi senza essere sempre gli stessi. Cosa c’è alla fine della ricerca, di quel racconto brevis che è la vita
“Racconti Bre”: l’arte della brevità secondo Alimberto Torri
Il libro Racconti Bre di Alimberto Torri è un piccolo custode di retorica, psicologia, humor e sagaci metafore. Una raccolta che non si lascia leggere con leggerezza, perché invita il lettore a scrutare nelle pieghe più complesse dell’animo umano.
Non è una lettura semplice, e questo è il suo pregio. Alcuni brani mi hanno costretto a fermarmi, a rileggere più volte, non certo per mancanza di chiarezza, ma per l’intensità che li pervade. È il tipo di scrittura che non lascia scampo: chiede attenzione, chiede tempo.
Ho domandato all’autore quanto impegno avesse richiesto un lavoro così denso, e la sua risposta racconta molto del senso del libro:
“Ogni racconto breve si fonda su studi di psicologia, sociologia e filosofia. Per molti mi sono dovuto documentare e studiare il particolare modo di essere e di vivere di alcuni gruppi sociali.
Ogni racconto ha almeno due livelli di lettura: quello letterale e quello metaforico. Ma si può arrivare anche a quattro: letterale, metaforico, simbolico e anagogico.
So perfettamente che per arrivare a quello anagogico bisogna fare un po’ di fatica, ma è quella fatica lì che ti apre la mente a nuove possibilità di conoscenza. Non sono racconti da una notte: l’intento è far riflettere, e la riflessione ha i suoi tempi. ‘Il regno dei cieli è come il chicco di senape’.”
Parole che chiariscono il cuore del progetto: Racconti Bre non vuole intrattenere, ma stimolare. Non punta a distrarre, ma a guidare.
La tradizione del racconto breve.
La forma del racconto breve, spesso sottovalutata dai lettori che prediligono i grandi romanzi, ha in realtà una lunga e nobile tradizione. Da Edgar Allan Poe, che teorizzò l’unità d’effetto in ogni singolo racconto, a Italo Calvino, che con le sue Cosmicomiche seppe condensare l’universo in poche pagine, la brevità non è mai sinonimo di semplicità.
Come scriveva Anton Čechov: “La brevità è sorella del talento”. In poche pagine si può racchiudere un mondo, ed è ciò che Torri sembra voler dimostrare con le sue “chicche letterarie”, piccole schegge di umanità pronte a far sorridere, ma anche a far riflettere.
Una lettura per il presente
In queste storie, Alimberto Torri sembra lanciare un messaggio attualissimo:
“L’AI non potrà fare ogni cosa!”
Un’affermazione che si colloca nel cuore del dibattito contemporaneo. Può la tecnologia sostituire la profondità di un pensiero, la complessità di un’emozione, la metafora che unisce logica e poesia? Forse no, e l’autore sembra sperare con forza che la risposta resti negativa.
Vivere è un racconto breve
Racconti Bre si legge come un piccolo manifesto esistenziale: la vita stessa è breve, ricca di emozioni e contraddizioni, proprio come i racconti che la rappresentano.
Un volume che invita il lettore a rallentare, a lasciarsi interrogare e sorprendere. Perché ogni parola, come un chicco di senape, porta con sé il potenziale di un intero mondo.

Devil's Club
In a recent trip to Alaska on a cruise we went to Juneau and in their gold mining tourist trap (a very good one by the way) I found something interesting in their store. I was literally sold via their snake oil-like "weird substance in a bottle".
Anyway, let me tell you, ever since I moved to the PNW I suffer from hemorrhoids. One time it got extremely bad. I applied devil's club and within a few minutes I wasn't feeling pins and needles itchiness down in my butt hole. That's one, but two I kept applying it a few times over a month like I do with preparation H and the hemorrhoids are gone! I mean I'm not going to go eat a ghost pepper pie any day but holy moly. I also treated a rash on my neck and groin that kept expanding and I thought was cancer and I was going to die of. I'm not saying don't go see a doctor, go see a doctor for any of this. But I'm just posting a PSA. At least some of the tourist trap bs about this plant is true or has some technology behind it that the big pharma hasn't been able to distill and eliminate.
I'm not a wako crazy person but I did go vegan recently to stop contributing to animal pain and suffering and to prevent heart decease and obesity in my self... This change did not make me loose weight or cure my hemorrhoids.
On the topic of hemorrhoids, let me explain I'm gory details what I think triggers those things in me. Any time I eat pizza or jalapeños, peronchini, jalapeño pickles, onions, tomatoes, I get a hemorrhoid. You'll be walking around and suddenly feel a little itch in your butt hole. In the shower you can explored that itch with your finger. It turns out to start like a pimple on the interior skin of your butt hole. It slowly, over a period of days gets bigger and eventually surprises you by popping out when you're popping. Red bloody stools galore. You'll have bloddy stools for a while. The popping can range from just seeing blood to super painful, you wanna be done with this existence pain. The worst part is cleaning with toilet paper. The little polips feel like a tiny pimple inside very thin skin. That polio eventually grows into a little sack that hangs outside your butt hole and then one day pops.
Look I'm sorry to have to describe all that, but it's true and hopefully someone benefits from this technology. Now, a day or two after applying the devils club you'll feel no different, but in the shower you can explore the polips and the darn thing get smaller and smaller until they're gone.
Once I discovered this, which prep H doesn't really do, I decided to just roll with this. So yeah, I applied that stuff a few times a week for some month and then I forgot. I forgot to apply and I forgot those pesky little pins and needles sobs. This morning I was reading up about it so I thought I should post on here.
One more thing, you can find it on Amazon. Devil's club salve.
Its cheaper on Amazon than at the tourist trap for obvious reasons.
Yes this is not circuits in a box with a shiny glass screen. But its technology and hopefully it helps someone try it out.
If my hemorrhoids do comeback I will not let you all know LOL.

in reply to plateee • • •Sorry about that. Piefed just had a new version release last week and part of that included some changes to the api that mobile clients use. Boost has been a bit slower to update than some of the others. It's unfortunate really, because Boost is my favorite mobile app for lemmy, but the updates can be slow. The good news is that we aren't planning any more breaking changes to the api going forward, so once Boost is updated, it should continue working.
As an aside, I would also recommend trying piefed as a PWA. It is my preferred way of using it on a mobile device.
