In comparison to all federal taxes payed out by people within a state, that’s a pretty miniscule sack of cash. The government is among the largest employers in every state true, but their payroll contributions aren’t anything compared to the whole and they’re paltry compared to things like business-derived tax revenue. States could withhold them, yes, but it wouldn’t do much if they did.

I’m confused, sorry: what are you disagreeing with?

That’s not really how it works - there’s no one big sack of cash that gets handed over by the state, individual businesses (and people) pay their taxes to the IRS directly, and then separately to the state tax agencies (obvs leaving out some of the draconian nuance here). States don’t have a practical method of withholding taxes short of going to every business and demanding they stop paying the feds. While hypothetically possible at some point, it’s not in the short term feasible.

Current gen of samsung phones has removed it entirely, fwiw.

Of all my stories about the many stupid things I’ve done, somehow the only one that gets reliably met with skepticism is the time I was very nearly killed by the worlds largest giraffe puppet. It’s bizarre, you’d think it would be the bowling ball cannon blowing up or the forklift jousting incident or further BS like that, but nope. Giant puppet death, that’s unbelievable.

“His attempt to rescue himself using a ladder constructed from Baguettes sadly failed. Thankfully, rescuers were able to locate him after a passerby noticed a thin trail of cigarette smoke rising from the ravine.”

Truly glad he got rescued, fuckin’ hell I hope it was at least a decent bottle and that there’s no lasting injuries.

IDK man, I’ve sucked a lot of dick and I like to at least think I don’t look like a loose pile of skin draped over a human-shaped void in the moral fabric of the universe like those fuckers do…

They don’t have to ‘prove’ anything, they judge based on vibes alone.

Much less effective from an (admittedly brief) look around. The finer filtration you get with paper apparently helps filter it out, but it’s such a small amount that even if you were just chewing beans it doesn’t appear to matter.

Are blind rolls implemented across the board like that very often? There’s plenty of rolls that don’t affect the game if the players know about them, or would hinder the game like you’re saying. Probably for the sake of brevity the OG OP just didn’t clarify all the exceptions to the rule. IDK tho maybe there really are pure-secret-roll DMs

Hey just so you know, it’s total bullshit that the german populace didnt know about the holocaust. Some of the civillians may not have known about the specific mechanics, but many were even aware of the gas chambers masquerading as showers, jews included.

People tried to hide behind ignorance after the fact, as I have no doubt they will try to do once this latest atrocity is done. I very much agree that simply being aware does not put us into any position different than the german population in WWII, we must strive to do better than their example.

I am not one of the .world admins, so I can’t say for certain how their backend is set up. Ten minutes may just be too short, for example my own private instance is set up to flag posts from the same user that occur within 15mins, and above a threshold number block new events from posting (this prevents issues with Activitypub and local internet latency). Activity also propagates relatively slowly through the fediverse, I don’t know if your old posts that were not appearing have since resolved themselves, but if you have not already checked that it may also be a good diagnostic.

If you are concerned about it, you may want to try reaching out to them directly and inquiring about this issue, since they’re the only ones who will be able to answer this question. If I had to bet, you aren’t being singled out and this is indicative of a technical issue that could be resolved. But I don’t know that for sure, and the LW admins may just this petty.

As I understand it no, the modloaders will still handle things like file management and conflicts and load orders and etc. Individual mods could implement solutions for that, but it makes more sense to centralize that effort around the modloaders.

What this will do is make it much less tedious to develop the mods in the first place.

(I may be wrong and the role of modloaders may have changed in the six years since I was last active in the modding scene without my knowing it)

I’ll confess that I’m only passingly familiar with kubernetes, does it allow for this?

Yeah, I agree. I just check in on it to see how bad it’s gotten, really.

Have you checked to see if this behavior is present on other instances besides LW?

It may be that you’re running afoul of an anti-spam filter, most servers have implemented something to rate limit new posts in an effort to prevent griefing or system errors on other instances from bogging down the system. It might also just be that LW’s search function doesn’t update it’s index very often, and that lemmy search in general is… not great. And it might also just be a federation issue, those are extremely common.

Just use all the hosts, and then implement a distributed RAID-esque system to mirror the information across all those various cloud services…

I’m sure that will really annoy all seven people that use it…

And god, so many of them are just absolutely cram-packed with the most obnoxiously incel behavior. The actual hindi posts are not great about sexism, but they’re so much better than the creepy “All women are bitches” redpillers larping in racist broken english accents that are most of what you see on the “indian” subreddits.

I mean, sure maybe? The appeal is in someone sharing something they’re passionate about and taking the time to craft images to showcase it (and in a sexy way). If you’re putting effort into doing that, it’d probably work fine.
