ooo, that does sound handy!

Looks like OBS is the goto. Thanks.

Which app do you use for screen recording? That’s the only thing keeping me on X11.

I apologise for my dismissive tone earlier. Thanks for putting your idea out there 🙂

…aaand this is why chatgpt is no substitute for expertise.

It’s “generative” AI, in that it generates lists of words that fit together. But it has no actual understanding of anything so the stuff it generates is totally surface, middle-of-the-road whatever-you-want-to-hear.

The article claims it’s source is Euro-Med Monitor but https://euromedmonitor.org makes no mention of organ harvesting. No press release, blog post or anything.

Lots of other ghastly stuff though, holy shit.

As long as a deleted post is no longer visible in the publicly-accessible parts of the site, that would be enough verification for me.

I don’t know how the GDPR authorities verify compliance with mainstream proprietary closed source apps, do you?

Yes, although the server will not ignore the deletion activity if that server is running Lemmy. We’re talking about Lemmy here, not the fediverse as a whole. OP singled out Lemmy in the post title and said “lemmy devs are not concerned with…”

I’m sure there is more to be done in this area. It’d be great to know for sure which software treats deletion activities properly (I’m really unsure about Kbin, I think it does not) and which does not so instance admins can make informed decisions about who they federate with. Perhaps this information could be made available right within the UI that Lemmy admins use to control their instance, rather than an obscure documentation page somewhere…

IMO having deletes federate should be part of a minimum standard all fediverse software has to meet (plus mod tools, spam control, csam filters, etc) before it is allowed to federate but obviously we’re nowhere near having that sort of social organisation.

OP is simply incorrect.

I’m coding a Lemmy alternative right now and have been testing this functionality out extensively. Deletes of posts and comments certainly federate, I’ve seen the AP traffic to make it happen. Also, the docs: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/contributors/05-federation.html#delete-post-or-comment

I haven’t tested what happens when the ‘delete account’ button is clicked… Mastodon solves this by sending a ‘delete this user’ Activity to every fediverse instance so there’s nothing about ActivityPub that makes removing an account and all it’s posts in one go impossible.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Services_Act says that “Companies that do not comply with the new obligations risk fines of up to 6% on their annual turnover [i.e. revenue before expenses] in the European Union.”

According to https://www.businessofapps.com/data/twitter-statistics/, twitters revenue was $4 billion in 2022. Let’s assume it’s $2 billion now. Also on that page, it shows half the revenue comes from USA, half ‘rest of world’, let’s assume that means EU. So $1bn. 6% of that is $60 million. Per year.

Not exactly a killing blow, I guess. But paying that money has to come out of profits so this makes turning a profit significantly harder.

Context:

Elon Musk’s X has instructed staff not to suspend users that post explicitly racist, sexist and homophobic content, or who send sexual material to another person, as part of a new policy that has radically stripped back the company’s moderation of abusive material.

X is so fucked.

I got it to 47 KB after resizing it to 850px by 239px, heh

I’m a web developer.

Lemmy does not use the entire screen width. The way it has been embedded in the page means that image takes up only 850 pixels of horizontal space so it could be 5x smaller and no one would be able to see the difference.

Lemmy really should be automatically resizing the images (on the server) when they are uploaded, not every single time the community is viewed (in the browser).

Have you checked your C:\windows\temp folder lately?

Mostly to avoid conspiracies. The intended users are people who want to protect vulnerable family members.

Another purpose is to demonstrate that the big social networks could get rid of disinformation if they wanted to - “look what 1 person can achieve, in their spare time”, kinda thing.

The only time I use ddg is to find conspiracy sites to add to the blocklist I maintain. All the trash rises to the top in that search engine. It’s rubbish.

The purpose of the base model is to make the more expensive higher end models look better in comparison than they otherwise would.

How does the data throughput compare to cloudflare or wireguard?

That wouldn’t be cool. At all.

I’d prefer to go in the other direction (i.e. away from permissive) and add a ‘no fascists or tankies or genocide’ clause to AGPL, actually. ChatGPT assures me that would be bad and possibly illegal (?!) tho, so I might just end up putting stuff in the code of conduct which achieves the same ends.

My first instinct is to go for AGPL but the whole licensing debate isn’t something I’ve ever really engaged with so I’m not really making an informed decision about that.

What’s the advantages of a more permissive license?
