Scrolling through, I thought the thumbnail picture was a butt

Whether or not this is true - at least the UK is an island. This isn’t as far fetched as a land locked poor country somehow shipping people 18hrs by plane….

I don’t get why a Central African country would try to send their prisoners halfway around the world - that would be insanely expensive and a logistical nightmare.

I feel like Trump must think the Congo is in South America instead of Africa…

Or…. “Typical”…. 😉

This is a stupid question.

I assure you that’s not the case anymore

When you edit your comment all you’re doing is adding a “new” comment, the old comment is flagged to not show and the new comment shows in its place.

This achieves nothing.

You might be dying. Idk

I’m now on time. People notice my punctuality, no one actually cares.

Can someone pretend I’m “dumb” and explain what this is? Cause if it’s what I think it is… I’m very interested

As long as all wages are paid then there’s no obligation to continue employment in “at-will” states.

The employer must pay all due wages, but after that they can close or fire for any reason, including “fuck you, got mine”

Seems like a lot of people are unaware of white pages

Agreed, I was pretty annoyed with parts of the main story.

::: Spoiler warning

Imo boozer should have died, that would have made finding Sarah more emotional. His miraculous recovery always felt bullshit.

Also Sarah’s character was ridiculous. I get that it’d been 2 years, but she didn’t care at all that deacon was alive. Their “keep it secret” thing was fine but like even in private she didn’t give a fuck, which was weird to me. And her whole “I can save them” arc was really weird.

I remember thinking that there must have been a lot of cut content, because the end of the story progresses really fast compared to the rest, I had expected more build up.

And finally, it would have been nice if at the end boozer and Sarah weren’t just boringly “sitting” at lost lake. like, they are badasses after that story but at the end they’re just content with sitting around while deacon goes off. The end game could have been vastly better than it was.

I felt like this was a great game that got spoiled by some stupid story decisions and also obviously a canceled sequel

It’s not and never claimed to be. Lemmy is a piece of software, the instance owners and community moderators choose what stays and what’s goes, every Lemmy instance is just a glorified forum of old internet. Federation means the post isn’t solely controlled by the instance owners, but deletion is federated so the instance deleting it sends notice to every other instance where it exists to delete it as well, and then it’s up to that instance to do it (tho Lemmy will do this automatically so it would require altering the server code to stop that)

This is stupid, why can’t I just point it at my interpreter? Oh, right, money. smh

You mean like my friend fiction? Like the story where the whole basketball team becomes zombies and then they all fight over dating me?

Butts butts, I love butts.

I’m sorry but I’m shocked mac has 1/5 share - wtf who wants that garbage

Due to how federation works, the federated instance needs to accept and process the activity. Each application can define its own “optional” activity properties, but the activitypub specs define mandatory properties and some optional properties for coherence across the fediverse.

The way lemmy implements this is to use the activitypub-federation-rust library that the lemmy devs built. Through this, activities in Lemmy are sent using HTTP and have a failure retry:

It is possible that delivery fails because the target instance is temporarily unreachable. In this case the task is scheduled for retry after a certain waiting time. For each task delivery is retried up to 3 times after the initial attempt. The retry intervals are as follows:

one minute, in case of service restart
one hour, in case of instance maintenance
2.5 days, in case of major incident with rebuild from backup

In the case of votes, the activity is a “like” - some other federated applications understand this and will accept it, but others won’t. For example, peertube does not have a like activity, and I don’t believe they would handle it.

However votes are shared across instances. When a user “likes” something from another instance, Lemmy will notify that actor (the page) that the activity (a like) was emitted by another actor (you).

Hope that clarifies things. I’m still learning all this myself so if anyone can contribute or improve my answer, please do!
