Cool! I have been around a while so I know those communities well.

(I hope I wasn't auto banned from those places too...)

Fuck yes! I just saw when I attempted to post to 3D printing.

Lol! I am getting rando-banned as well! I guess the head Nazi doesn't like people associating with you. (This was on 3D printing, of all places. Wut.)

Just by looking at it, this model should scale easily in the slicer. (Scale up by 21.5% if my math is correct.) It may look odd, but even scaling up one axis (Y) may work too.

Here is the follow-up post on the joke, btw.

Just report every post you see as Rule 1. That should still be in spirit with the boycott.

Remember we had a quick chat about this propagandist the other day?

 

Time seems to cause this more than anything else and I cannot replicate at-will. (I have actually been trying to catch the condition that causes this for a few months, but finally gave up today.)

Backing out from other communities will sometimes trigger this, but not always. I have only noticed this on c/all. If it seems I have been in one community for a "bit of time" and have locked/unlocked my phone a couple of times, the chance of this occuring seems higher. (That theory is kinda bullshit, but it's something)

Reloading the feed from the main menu clears the condition. (I haven't checked if a standard feed refresh works after the last couple of updates. It usually hasn't worked.)

CTT Windows Tools is a good entry to build a lite / custom image. (MicroWin)

Doing this comes with some drawbacks as you really will learn how much bullshit is actually required for some larger commercial applications. (Some components of Edge are required for Fusion 360; XBox Game Bar is required for proper CCD load balancing for AMD CPUs and other various gotchas.)

It's worth the trouble though as you can construct an image that nukes things like OneDrive and Copilot from the start. It also introduced me to WinGet, which is so much nicer than multiple one-shot updates.

Wustite, ferrous oxide, is black. FeO.

Typical rust, usually found as hematite, is Fe2O3 and is red/brown. Also an iron oxide.

Magnetite is also another black iron oxide, Fe3O4.

There are quite a few other flavors of iron and oxygen too.

I am usually the one to talk very seriously with you about your behavior tonight, but my ears are still ringing from this grenade you tossed over the fence.

Dunno about "lost all meaning". The shrapnel from all the butthurt is spraying quite a few instances right now. Lulz.

Just glad to see ml/memes is getting a taste of its own shit for once.

 
 

It's kinda useless for productivity or usability but I like it a ton. ;)

 

Weird "all" feed blanking bug. This is more likely to happen if the 20-30 thumbnails have not completed load.

 

This seems to be related to thumbnails that aren't fully loaded, but not always?

  1. When scrolling fast and preventing thumbnails from fully loading, I can get the feed to temporarily hang until it finishes loading loading some thumbnails.

  2. I will eventually hit a "feed limit" when scrolling through the feed to ~100 posts.

  3. Sometimes, slowly scrolling back up the feed to allow unloaded thumbnails to finish may "unblock" the feed for a bit, but not always. It may load one or two additional posts, and hang again.

There seem to be multiple conditions causing the feed to pause vs completely hang, and I can't nail those conditions down.

This issue has gotten much better since 219, but is still a bit quirky.

 

This is an odd problem to describe.

I can scroll through about 20 posts and then the feed will "hang". Once those 20 or so posts finish loading thumbnails, additional older posts will be loaded.

This is not as noticeable on fast connections, but causes significant lag on slow connects. There is no immediate indicator that Connect is still loading newer post data when you hit the end of the feed cache/buffer. (It feels like feeds have been split into "pages" and after 20 or so posts, there is a delay when hitting another "page".)

Thanks for attempting to read this shitty description of a problem. I tried.

Edit: The feed will actually get "stuck" sometimes. It's common for me on "all". I had 800mb in cache and just cleared it. It's got a little better for some reason. I can get close to 50-60 posts before the feed pauses or hangs.

 

I am going to edit this post and get some screenshots. (Done)

Note: Backing out of this post, after navigating to this post, via my profile, triggered the "blank feed" issue again. (See blank screenshot in comments.)

(Sorry for the issue replication testing in this post.)

A key point of many recovery programs is to separate yourself from your drinking buddies, which is probably the most difficult thing for anyone in any situation. It's something I still deal with in some ways: Drinking friends are extremely easy to find. Real friends absolutely do not show up everyday.

I was just thinking about some of the people this morning that I just don't have the need to associate with anymore. There are two that I still occasionally hang out with, but there was a deeper friendship besides booze from the start.

If you are having this problem now, it gets better over time, I promise. It may take a couple of years to learn life again, but you can heal. In retrospect, having much more time on my hands just made the initial loneliness much worse.

My friends changed but also the reasons to hangout with other people also changed. This took time for me to understand. What matters to me personally has slowly morphed over these last few years and that is reflected in who I choose to associate with.

My conclusion is that I absolutely underestimated the time recovery actually takes and how my views on things like friendship would shift. As my entire personality was based on alcohol, I have found that reevaluating past decisions or assumptions can be useful, if not paramount to moving forward. This, unfortunately, takes lots time and time is not a friend to anyone fresh into recovery.

(This was just another one of my random annual stopdrinking posts. If you needed to relate to this in some way, that is awesome. For me, self-reflection is important and I choose to make it public. If this post seems self-centered, that is because it is: It's just not unhealthy.)

 

Edit: This is a weird thread, and might be a one-off. Maybe I have one of those users blocked and it's hiding the rest of the thread? I dunno, and I'll check. // It doesn't appear that I have any of those users blocked.

After opening my profile history, I can open a thread in my profile view. Clicking into a reply comment takes me to my comment on the post.

I cannot see the full comment thread when I view the full posts history on a post and trying to actually get to new comments is like trying finding the exit at IKEA.

Basically, I can't navigate to a thread to reply, and I had an awesome snarky comment prepared, but forgot it trying to get there.

Navigation behavior is so strange, either I have developed pre-release Alzheimer's, or Connect is bugged. (I don't discount either scenario.)

Sorry, I got jokes today.

 

After a post is clicked, it seems that all thumbnails are forced to refresh. (Attached image shown immediately after a click)

Also, what may just be the result of a cache clear, doom scrolling seems to cause a similar lag after scrolling past +50 posts. Thumbnail loading becomes laggy, but not sure if related to the issue above.

When the lag starts, Connect will lag fairly bad for as long as a minute. I have also turned off image preload, but that had no effect.

Side bug, changing the title in the new post edit cleared my first post body.

 

I am writing a security paper on AI at the moment and am looking for some juicy citations.

News articles are a bad source, unfortunately. Direct references to credible studies are ideal.

Thanks in advance!

(If you couldn't tell by which community I am making this post in, I have my own bias that I would like to exploit.)
