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

...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.
With some ways of looking at things, the world as a whole is getting better, rather than worse.

I'm pretty sure long covid and climate chaos will put a stop to that soon enough but we'll see. For now, some stuff is getting worse and some stuff is getting better.

The IPCC report must be agreed upon by representatives from every country. Including Saudi Arabia, and USA. So you can imagine how "conservative" it is compared to reality. Anything slightly uncomfortable gets negotiated down to the point where the oil-producing countries are fine with it.
The 195 member countries of the IPCC sign off on different parts of the report. The summaries for policymakers are “approved,” meaning that “the material has been subject to detailed, line-by-line discussion” between the member countries and the authors. The synthesis reports are “adopted,” which implies “a section-by-section discussion.” And the full report, which this year runs nearly 4,000 pages long, is “accepted,” which means both parties agree that “the technical summary and chapters of the underlying report present a comprehensive, objective, and balanced view of the subject matter.”

If people find the IPCC reports alarming as they are, imagine how alarming the draft from the scientists is before the Saudis, Russians and Americans get out the black markers.
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.
Near Ho Chi Minh city there are some tunnels like this which they let tourists go into and crawl along for a few hundred meters before coming up somewhere else. They were very very skinny, some of the tourists could not fit. Utterly terrifying places, when you think about the context they were used in.
Afterwards I paid $50 to fire a few shots from an AK-47. Surprisingly loud. Hard to imagine coping with several of them going off all around.
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.
If you turn off infinite scroll then this won't be a problem. Buuut then you won't have infinite scroll.
Good ideas 👍
However due to the way activitypub works there is no way to know how many people on other instances are reading a post, only on the same instance.
Meta has already pulled plenty of destructive shenanigans. What makes you think this time will be different?
It is. Blocking is broken and does not work the way people intuitively expect.

From 'Barely Works' to Pythonic Code in 5 steps
In this video, we adapt a clumsy, non-Pythonic API into an easy to use, easy to understand Pythonic one. We use magic methods such as getitem\, len, enter, and \exit to make our objects a context manager and support the len() function and square bracket indexing. And in the end, we turn what once was ugly, difficult to maintain code into something that other developers would actually want to use.

UN adopts world-first treaty to protect marine life
Greenpeace’s Chris Thorne has called the treaty “a win for all life on this planet.”
A treaty to protect biodiversity in waters outside national boundaries, covering nearly half of Earth’s surface, had been under discussion for more than 20 years.
Delegates from the 193 member nations burst into applause and then stood up in a sustained standing ovation when the treaty was approved with no objections.
Germany's €49 train ticket leads to 25% increase in passengers
Particularly during the summer months, routes to the coast and mountains have experienced a surge in popularity, indicating that the scheme is encouraging more sustainable travel choices during holiday periods.
Germany's ambitious initiative to promote public transportation through the €49 a month 'Deutschlandticket' has been declared a "huge success” as it resulted in a remarkable 25% increase in passengers using national railway company Deutsche Bahn's regional services. Launched in May, the Deutschlandticket enables travelers to access unlimited buses and local or regional trains across the country.

A way to organise a very large Python monolith
By David Seddon from Kraken Technologies. Hi, I’m David, a Python developer at Kraken Technologies. I work on Kraken: a Python application which has, at last count, 27,637 modules. Yes, you read that right: nearly 28k separate Python files - not including tests. I do this along with
Hi, I’m David, a Python developer at Kraken Technologies. I work on Kraken: a Python application which has, at last count, 27,637 modules. Yes, you read that right: nearly 28k separate Python files - not including tests. I do this along with 400 other developers worldwide, constantly merging in code. And all anyone needs to make a change - and kick start a deployment of the software that runs 17 different energy and utility companies, with many millions of customers - is one single approval from a colleague on Github.
Now you may be thinking this sounds like a recipe for chaos. Honestly, I would have said the same. But it turns out that large numbers of developers can, at least in the domain we work in, work effectively on a large Python monolith. There are lots of reasons why this is possible, many of them cultural rather than technical, but in this blog post I want to explain about how the organisation of our code helps to make this possible.
