The article says:

Eyewitnesses tell Asharq that beside the disguised troops, other special forces snuck into the Nuseirat camp inside an aid truck. The IDF has denied using humanitarian transports for the operation.

From the link you posted, it seems this would still be a war crime if it’s true, unless I’m misinterpreting the text:

Ruses of war are permitted. Warships and auxiliary vessels, however, are prohibited from launching an attack whilst flying a false flag and at all times from actively simulating the status of protected vessels such as hospitals ships, small coastal rescue craft or medical transports.

I assume the aid truck they were using would qualify as an “auxiliary vessel”, and they were using it to impersonate “medical transport”.

If you think that “privacy” is the wrong term: granted. But sensible deletion protocols are not too much to ask for.

Well, that is in a nutshell what I am arguing. I’m not inherently against the ability to delete things, as it can be quite useful as a quick means to say “I take this back”, or “this information I shared is wrong, so I’m removing it” (although in that case I would opt to use an edit). Even “I’m embarrassed about this, so I don’t want more people to look at it” is a good enough reason that I would respect, and for which I would delete the thing if it was in my possession. Essentially, I just don’t think it should be treated as a privacy issue, because that might give a lot of people the wrong idea.

That’s not what is demanded. No one demands that the audience (users) forget what I said (the comment), much less: immediately. No one is asking for mind-erasing power or the ability to remove screenshots from other people’s client devices.

Well, that why it is an analogy; the forgetting is equivalent to erasing from someone else’s storage. You have no real control over it. Other people can say they do, but you don’t know that. And that is what is being demanded - right now I can already “delete” my comments and Beehaw will indicate to other instances that it was deleted, but it can’t control whether they do it, and it has no way to know if they really deleted something or just hid it from public view.

Differentiating between a client and a provider becomes extra tricky when you remember everyone can start up their own instance and still be essentially just a client - and, I think this is also worth mentioning, people can create their own backends that also federate using ActivityPub, but which are not open-source, and you’ll have no idea what goes on in their servers. In the bar analogy, this would be people watching a stream of the mic at home; or another place, other than a bar with the same set-up, streaming and recording what goes on in that bar.

Also, if no one is demanding that things be deleted from client devices, then logically nothing should stop someone from sharing it with other people/clients. And if you believe otherwise, then as example: what if someone posts a comment, I reply, and then they edit it to put me in a bad light? Is it an invasion of privacy for me to show what it said previously?

This is not a privacy issue; you cannot demand privacy for something you shared willingly and publicly.

Respectfully, I find it more counterproductive, and even harmful, to encourage and spread the idea that people should have any expectation of privacy regarding things they have shared publicly.

After reading some more comments, I think I came up with a good analogy to explain this issue, and I wanted to share.

Think of websites like a bar that also has an open mic.

Now, when I go to a bar, I don’t want to have to give the bouncers and staff my full name as well as my address. I also wouldn’t want them to know that I just came, for example, from a store where I was looking for a vacuum, and then have them warn a vacuum seller about it. A vacuum seller who is then going to sit next to me, while I’m trying to have a drink, and show me a pamphlet regarding the “amazing vacuum” he has for sale.

Ideally, I can also look for a bar that will allow me to come in costumed and not show my face. Or I could ask the bar to delete footage of me at some point, and to not store my ID if I do have to show it to a bouncer at the entrance.

All of that is relatively feasible and within the realm of reason; and all of that are things that privacy advocates might advocate for.

However, what is not feasible, or within the realm of reason, or what privacy advocates tend to advocate for, is the ability for me to willingly go up on stage, say something on the mic which I immediately regret, and then ask everyone present to forget it ever happened and delete any footage they might have of it. No reasonable person would ask for something like that, because it is not a reasonable request.

That is how regular websites work. With federated websites, that becomes enhanced; it’s like if the bar you’re in has a camera pointed at the microphone, and transmits both video and audio directly into several other bars. So when you go up to that mic, you better make sure you’re okay with what you are saying being made public and available to anyone.

Actually, despite all the negatives I’ve heard about the 4060 and 4060 Ti, I was looking into it recently and unless I’m mistaken they actually seem to have lower TDP compared to their 30X0 counterparts, while still offering slightly better performance.

I think it’s a shame that that’s been drowned out by the negatives; few people ever mention TDP, but I think lowering the TDP while still having better performance is a noteworthy thing that should be mentioned more.

EDIT: Went to look for some numbers and, according to NVIDIA, the TDP of the RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti is 115W and 160W respectively, whereas the numbers I found for the GTX 1060’s TDP are 120W.
