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.

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.
You know how if your email app stops working you can just install another one and still communicate with anyone else with an email address? The fediverse is like that except it’s not email it’s twitter and reddit and YouTube all rolled into one. So if twitter was part of the fediverse when Musk bought it and destroyed it you could move to another server with a better moderation policy and pick up where you left off.
A convicted rapist (also charged with 91 other felonies) running for president, with as much chance as winning as the other guy.
I will very soon. For now, I’m collecting email addresses - https://rimu.geek.nz/piefed-comms/?p=subscribe
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?
I’m building a Lemmy/Kbin clone, using Python (Flask framework). I’m about 3 months in so the basics are there but it’s definitely still half-baked…
If this sounds like something you’d like to contribute to, pop your email address into this form https://rimu.geek.nz/piefed-comms/?p=subscribe and I’ll keep you in the loop!
Here is a screencast of what happens to my 2 core server when I post something - https://kglitch.social/activitypub_cpu_and_net.mp4.
I run a single user instance, more or less, so there is little chance of some other user causing this load.
Some of it will be due to the way Kbin is built but I believe any software using ActivityPub to communicate will run into similar issues sooner or later, especially with network traffic usage.
Demo post
Yeah. A lot of hand-wringing has gone on about it, e.g. https://gist.github.com/jdarcy/60107fe4e653819138396257df302eef. I’ll post this and then show you a video of server activity that results.
They are synced. There is an insane data volume, yes. It is hell.
The first one.
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.
