  • The question hasn’t been legally tested, it’s no more certain now than it was before.

    While it might be the case that the EU could come down on a user’s main instance for not deleting everywhere, really it’s no different to anywhere else - any app that uses an API or even just a simple scraper can get comments that a user posts, so as with those it could also simply fall to the user to go around each and every instance and request deletion. Arguably, the Fediverse is better than this because it does include a facility for deleting things from a host instance - the only issue is that the other instance might not necessarily follow that (as instances don’t necessarily run pure lemmy code, in fact they could run anything).




  • This study sought to assess the effects of a salt substitute (62.5% NaCl, 25% KCl, and 12.5% flavorings) on incidence of hypertension and hypotension among older adults with normal blood pressure.

    Lol so the salt substitute is still nearly 2/3 salt. This study sounds like bullshit that wouldn’t be replicated in the real world, participants knew they might be getting reduced salt food and thus were more likely to accept it. In day to day life people would still generally prefer the saltier foods.










  • It wasn’t labelled as “revenge for funding the UNRWA”, what was stated was:

    The Israeli assault has taken place after the Belgian Government announced not to suspend funding for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) on Wednesday.

    It’s merely an order of events, you’re the one labelling it “revenge”.

    Furthermore, this order of events lines up with the Reuters artcile, which says:

    It was not clear when the building was bombed. The spokesperson said Belgium had found out about it on Thursday evening and suspected it had happened on Wednesday.

    So it would be right to point out that the Turkish source paints the timeline as a certainty when it is not certain, but if anything the Reuters article is perhaps a little too cautious in not pointing out the possibility that it was done shortly after the Belgian announcement regarding UNRWA, or even mentioning that announcement at all.
