Another bug test, sorry. My comment replies have been hanging on the spinner page. (The comment does get posted, but have to refresh manually.)

(If it happens on this comment, I’ll just edit with a “yep”.)

Edit: “yep”. The reload button on the spinner page does not function either. Back button is the only solution.

Edit2: Edits do not exhibit this behavior.

Awesome. Thank you!

Just updated to 289 and didn’t see the exception when I reopened. I was probably just between versions then?

I hate it when my strings aren’t subtypes of my bools!

I have been seeing this for months and have been trying to figure out the “why”. So far, it’s totally random and I really want to help figure this out for the dev.

What is your phone and OS? Can you do anything to replicate the issue? Does it happen at a specific time of day or on a specific instance? My time of day theory has to do with the ebb and flow of post volumes, especially if you browse c/all. I keep meaning to see if there is a similarly between posts where the feed “jams” and that could be instance related.

Does the feed jam on image, text or website posts? Are those posts from any specific user?

Does clearing app cache help? Does it delay the problem or make it worse? Do you notice excessive spinners when the app is trying to cache post thumbnails?

The issue started when the dev was doing work around the infinite scroll and experimenting with cache, I think.

The one where the the front fell off?

no need to seriously adapt to their environment.

Yeah, cats make everyone and everything adapt to their environment. You have to completely go outside the environment to avoid their influence.

Yeah, I got that going on after every run now and it gets painful. (My workout warmup is a mile jog and I work out 5 times a week.)

Nah. You are thinking about the hooch made from hardtack.

The media (Blu-ray, dvd, whatever…) didn’t matter so much. Adding depth fields to existing media works, but it isn’t exactly perfect. The tech should be much better now, but it took a fuck ton of manual labor to convert films to be compatible with 3D. Back when 3D TVs were being pushed, studios had to film movies in 3D as well, which took more time and more equipment.

Here is an old pic I took during the conversion of Titanic into 3D since it wasn’t filmed in 3D from the start. Each frame needed to have depth fields mapped, by hand, in a room filled with jr level staff. This work was split across multiple studios.

I personally watch he hell out of PBS shows and have since I was a kid. (Space Time on YouTube is probably at the top of my list now.) My first thought about PBS was, “PBS has a web site?”.

I googled a bit and it seems that there are some edge cases in D&D where powerful mummies can control minions and create new mummies.

(I didn’t dig into the lore enough to find out if you need to be dead first.)

And the entire interwebs…

The drive link in the tweet may have issues with the shit twitter url shortener.

105.26 cups would be lethal if consumed at the same time and you were able to keep it down.

5.26 cups seems like an acceptable amount of wiggle room between superpowers and death.

Just using common averages I could find, a cup of coffee contains 95mg of caffeine. 42 cups is about 3990mg, or 3.9g.

A lethal dose of caffeine is about 10g consumed in a short period of time. 3.9g probably wouldn’t kill you and 42 cups would take a while to drink without throwing up. (I personally have consumed quite a bit caffeine when I was a kid and it put me in the ER for a few hours.)

You can try and drink that much coffee, but you won’t be a happy camper.

Well, that was poetic.

It’s fixed, thank you!

I have cut back my Lemmy usage recently so there is usually quite a bit to scroll though when I do check it.

I think the only way to replicate it almost reliability is to spend time on a post, reading and replying to multiple comments before backing out to the main feed and then continuing my doom scrolling.

Again, it’s an annoyingly random bug that seems to have some kind of temporal aspect to it. (If I was crazy enough, I would plot out the times of day it happens most and try and correlate it to Lemmy post volumes.)

What I find amazing about that pic is how some people tolerate that many notifications from bullshit social media sites.

Phone notifications should actually mean something and not be constantly reminding me that it’s time to fizzle out my dopamine receptors or drain my wallet.

They still probably need a ton of customization and tuning at the driver level and beyond, which open source allows for.

I am sure there is plenty of existing “super computer”-grade software in the wild already, but a majority of it probably needs quite a bit of hacking to get running smoothly on newer hardware configurations.

As a matter of speculation, the engineers and scientists that build these things are probably hyper-picky about how some processes execute and need extreme flexibility.

So, I would say it’s a combination of factors that make Linux a good choice.
