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.

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 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.

Code does not exist in isolation from the community of developers that produced it. Who we collaborate with defines us, to some degree.

Egypt already has 12 million homeless people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listofsovereignstatesbyhomelesspopulation

1.2 out of 10 people in Egypt is homeless.

Jordan, with a population of 11 million people, already has 2.1 million Palestinian refugees and 1.4 million Syrian refugees.

Those countries are in no position to help.

Look elsewhere for solutions.
