A study on #UniversalBasicIncome #UBI from 2020 is now peer-reviewed and published. The study gave $7500 cash to homeless people in Vancouver and compared their outcome versus a control group. The result was clear:
“The recipients of the cash transfers did not increase spending on drugs, tobacco, and alcohol, but did increase spending on food, clothes, and rent, according to self-reports. What’s more, they moved into stable housing faster and saved enough money to maintain financial security over the year of follow-up.”
Further, each person who moved into stable housing one year faster saves the city over $8000 per year, which makes this program cheaper than existing housing programs.
Universal Basic Income works. It sounds so obvious when you say it out loud, but: giving people cash lifts them out of poverty. We need to do that more.

@schmiddionmobile I like the way Pipeline works and use it for following channels. Is there a reason it does provide only limited search for channels, but not for videos?

Im Rahmen eines Projektes zur Codeanalyse von Open Source Software haben wir Videokonferenzsysteme und eID-Templates auf deren Sicherheitseigenschaften hin untersucht. 🔍
Aufgabe des Projekts ist die Schwachstellenanalyse mit dem Ziel, die Sicherheit von #OpenSource Software zu erhöhen. Das Projekt soll Entwicklerinnen und Entwickler bei der Erstellung sicherer Softwareanwendungen unterstützen und das Vertrauen in Open Source Software steigern. 🛡
Let’s all celebrate the fact that riscv64 is now an official Debian architecture. Lots of work still to be done, but thanks to all the folk who’ve been involved in getting us to this point.
