Issue: When screen recording, the Dynamic Island activity shows up in the recording - this is intended. However, if I do something in an app which full-screens the UI (as in the app hides the status bar - for example, I tapped a photo in the Photos app to hide everything but the photo, zooming in also works I think), the island activity disappears, but the black cutout remains in the video until a few seconds later, when it too abruptly and weirdly disappears with some weird flickers and other visual glitches. I can’t word it properly, so here’s a video (idk how to upload it so here’s the first way I found to do this - lmk of any other way to do this): https://streamable.com/ko8gsy

My test case: I am playing music, and the dynamic island shows the now playing activity. I start screen recording in order to demonstrate the issue. I then go into an app which has the capability to hide the status bar (clock, wifi/cellular, battery and the dynamic island activities) - in my case, I choose to tap on a photo in the Photos app to hide all but the photo itself. I zoom into the photo before I do that so that the island isn’t on the black part of the UI (issue would be invisible). After tapping and when the status bar disappears, the activity does so too, but the cutout/“pill” remains until a few moments later, when it glitches out when it abruptly disappears too.

Has been happening since the iOS 18 dev betas in the summer at the least.

Sorry for the incredibly bad wording. Lmk if you need more info

How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

There is so much content going online, and so much traffic, plus heightened security measures, that make it very hard to identify dissidents on a large scale, at least with the tech we have, without using searches and seizure of one’s devices or other methods unrelated to the Internet itself.

In other words, very hard to impossible.

Romania: Far-right candidate Georgescu barred from election in c/world@lemmy.world

Great example of the paradox of tolerance.

It’s good that Romania is defending its democracy - Georgescu is a fraud as much as he is a clown, clearly unfit for office as he will not uphold the rule of law and will abuse his power.

With that said, where do you draw the line when barring people from running? Some will see this as an attack of democracy itself, in which anyone is allowed to run for office and is elected by the people. Blocking adversaries from running isn’t exactly the definition of democracy.

Unless the secret service declassifies its evidence that Georgescu is in any way affiliated or promoted by Russia, I see this going downward, with him and his ideology getting even more supporters due to this paradox of tolerance.
