...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 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.
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.
Fair enough. I apologise.
In the 5 months since you joined beehaw, you didn't make a single comment or post until now. And the first post you make is to defend literal Nazis.
Uh huh. Tell us more about your "concerns", please. You seem real invested in the health of beehaw /s
One of the limitations that people with Autism and ADHD often struggle with is that it is harder than average for them to imagine the future. Without that, it is more difficult to have a vision for oneself that is different from the present and consequently difficult to gain motivation to change. It's a form of mental blindness that is very subtle until you notice it.
Try to find ways to get really clear about the future. Define what your vision/goal is and then at the start of every day remind yourself what that is. You need physical reminders, in multiple places and forms. Objects that represent your goal, displayed in a prominent place in the home, pictures of the goal (or benefits of the achieving the goal) on your desk, a computer desktop background that is a collage of different facets of your future life, and so on.
Make it impossible to forget how awesome your life will be if you make the decision right now to open your IDE and do 5 minutes of study/practice (which will hopefully trigger your hyperfixation and turn into an hour or more). Getting started is the hardest part.
Find a way to hack your brain to make it do what you want.
Hypothetically, if Lemmy analyzed your posts and comments for intelligence (without telling you your score, to avoid drama) and then weighted your up/downvotes accordingly, would that be cool with you?
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).
I apologise for my dismissive tone earlier. Thanks for putting your idea out there 🙂
