I actually like the audio. (I'll leverage faux tape recording effects and plate reverb on occasion with music I write.)

And honestly, it was kinda refreshing to watch Charlie Chaplain again.

Sorry, I couldn't quite get the feeling you described. It's partially because I have seen that before and partially because it still looks old and the sound quality was reminiscent of a cylinder phonograph.

Good try though. ;)

I have been working through my "must watch" list with my teenage daughter recently. While all the movies are absolutely new to her, that hasn't stopped the occasional snickering about how "old" some of the stuff is. (And honestly, I can't disagree. I had a few "ah fuck I'm old" moments rewatching Predator and Blade Runner recently.)

So, in spirit, I 100% agree with you. In reality, nobody can quite escape how old some movies actually feel.

You should know that CO has some deeply defined red-blue "barriers". What's red is deep red and what's blue is deep blue. Your area north of Boulder is not exactly what I would consider liberal friendly. Hell, even around Greeley can be red as hell.. I know I have noticed the drumpf flags driving up there.

It's just the way Colorado is and you will eventually just need to migrate to an area that is more supportive of your beliefs in CO. It kinda sucks I say something like that, but this state has its weird quirks like that.

Just a wild guess (and also thinking out loud): Does [email protected] have the permissions to write files as another user? Is there something funky with zfs where you need to explicitly grant a user permission to basically perform a "write as" or modify file permissions separate from root?

Something about this post title screams dirty poem.

It's less about namecalling and more about finding an accurate descriptor. Socially challenged? Negative attention deprived? I dunno. Something along those lines. Sadisim or psychopathy seems a bit harsh.

90% of your posts are designed to go against the community you lovingly adore and participate in, so it's evident there is something broken.

Traditionally, Lemmy users don't respond well to communities that attempt to completely mirror subreddits. I am not trying to "hate" on your efforts here as that is absolutely counterproductive. Maybe you can tweak your posts a bit?

I am all for building niche communities, so don't misunderstand me. When it comes to creator/influencer content, the road is going to be a bit rocky unless you can get the content creators themselves to back these places.

The biggest issues I have seen is that many Lemmy users hate Reddit and are just more likely to block mirror communities. Constructively, I would say "read the room": Lemmy isn't Reddit and we typically don't care what /u/whoever says

I would say your posts get downvoted because you are an idiot. As a bonus, you just lean hard into the political stereotype of thinking everyone else is the problem.

AIDS doesn't exist in Russia and is just CIA propaganda.(Someone from ml probably.)

Look on the bright side! Blucifer killed its creator, so no other airport can ever be cursed with this "art".

Don't you ever change, .ml!

 

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.)

 
 

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.
