If it is possible over the course of the game for turn orders to be changed, or for a player to choose to draw a card, or cause another player to draw a card, then it matters in a way.

This is a fascinating wrinkle, and quite correct. (and non-obvious, I would say.)

Everything that people have been posting leans towards laying out the order ahead of time, even if there’s no mathematical difference in drawing the next card.

(Unless you’re not dealing with a deck of cards, but instead 50k decks at once. :-D )

if you’re playing a card game that requires deck manipulation…

Ah! This is something that I hadn’t directly considered. Interesting point, and it could be a serious concern for some games.

Thanks!

Oooh, I can answer some of this!

Frequency response is DEFINITELY non-linear in a traditional pickup. The nonlinearity is one of the prime factors in the tone of a pickup. (And unlike with say home audio amplifiers, there is no argument about the variation in tonality of different pickups.)

Absolutely true.

I don’t believe for a second that Google and Reddit give a shit, though. Untilbwe see a company destroyed for violating the GDPR, they’ll just consider the risk of fines part of the cost of doing business.

I was active - and I mean ACTIVE - on reddit for well over a decade. When the API fiasco happened, I deleted my mobile apps, and stuck to desktop. When ‘opt out of selling your data’ became impossible, I logged out for good.

Lemmy is both better and worse than reddit ever was. It will likely never reach the same activity level, but will also not reach the same toxicity.

This is fantastic information! The things I’m learning from one deleted post are remarkable!

The account that notified me is an unmonitored auto-mod account, which says “don’t reply - nobody will read it!”

I might actually post in !support@lemmy.world on this one. Thanks for the info.

Personally, I don’t support this retaliation.

Lemmy is young. Some of the consequences of a federated and distributed social media are still falling out, and we would be better off if the mods and owners of different federated instances work together - actually communicate - to resolve these issues instead of shutting each other down in a cold war scenario.

Federation NEEDS to happen and be (relatively) consistent in order for this great mess to work. “Hey, did you see that Lemmy post on motorcycles@lemmy.world?” “Nah man, I’m on a different instance than you - it must have been blocked by our mods.” That is NOT going to make a good experience for users, and they’ll give up very quickly.

That’s a very good point. What may be a neutral (or biased for that matter) community ‘at home,’ can be invisibly skewed on another instance by their administrators. That’s actually a bit concerning.

Yeah, but from what the good folks in this thread have said, their automod deleted the post only on their instance. It’s untouched on lemmy.ca, and any others that federate with us.

(I think.)

Right, so a user on C could be a moderator for !community@instance_B, and could then remove it on instance B and it would federate; but if they deleted it only on instance C, it would not.

Am I reading that correctly?

I don’t think there’s a problem with posting it here. I didn’t do that initially because I wasn’t trying to draw attention to the post as much as I was trying to understand how it all worked.

And in answer to your question, no the automod is not a moderator on the community.

At least they had the decency of notifying you!

Absolutely. I was just looking for clarification of how it worked. This takes me back to the days of Usenet and .killfile editing.

That’s exactly what I was wondering. In this case, A and B are the same, and C is lemmy.world.

It’s kind of odd, but I think I like the system.

Thanks.

No.

No, I don’t think so.

Clock radio is from around 1979 I think. Stereo tuner from 1978 (Sansui TU-9900!).

Oh, I have two functional tube testers from the 1950s. Also a short wave radio from about 1950.

I like old stuff.
