@daringfireball Am I the only one that see's Daring Fireball generic images on their links and just scrolls by because they look like default, unloadable/unloaded Mastodon image preview placeholders?
Or, more likely, I'm just obstinate and am like, "don't give me a link image? i'm scrollin" lol
Weโve finally cleared our import queue after a huge surge in people migrating from other reader apps. Will deploy a few upgrades to it tomorrow and lift the import limit.
Quite a few performance enhancements this week. The amount of data the importer processed in about one hour today would have taken over 40 hours on Monday.
I still very much like the @MonaApp#mastodon client, but I canโt really use it on my mac anymore.
Every time I relaunch Mac #MonaApp it scrolls to โnowโ in my timeline and doesnโt respect the reading position sync location my iPhone and iPad do.
@fogelnet@MonaApp Good to know. I would like to give Ivory a whirl, but the sub fee is beyond me. I don't have a problem with subs, but dang, it's expensive. Wish they had a lifetime sub. Those are somehow more palatable even if they're too expensive.
Suddenly, #VSCode on #macOS by default refuses to accept Option+z to insert the Polish "ลผ" character. Which is quite, you know, significant inconvenience with my last name "Krzyลผanowski"
@krzyzanowskim My CMD-OPT-P (of all things!) very inconveniently gets overridden by something every so often and I have to go through this painstaking process to discover what it is. So annoying. One would think I'd take notes on this and the next time it happens I'd know.
@Anthro Itโs like this regularly for me. It seems to come and go. I have a theory it aligns when either the US or UK is sleeping (less load on the system), but meant to ask.
Itโs improved over time thanks to the efforts of @wild1145 but even after the media cache was migrated, loading images is still brutally slow at times.
@wild1145@Anthro Thanks for all the effort and for the feedback!
Sometimes images load as I scroll without issue. Sometimes they load after a few seconds as I scroll and pause to let things catch up. Sometimes it may take 30+ seconds for them to load if I pause long enough because I want to see those particular images. Some never load.
If you can't download shows on the TWiT network since yesterday, it may be due to an ad-blocking VPN, DNS, or router, such as Eero Plus.
To temporarily alleviate the problem, disable those ad-blocking features, or add this to your allow-list if you have such functionality: twit.cachefly.net
(Ad/tracking-blockers completely break on podcast downloads. Podcast ads don't work the same way as scripts on web pages, and can't be blocked without blocking the audio downloads completely.)
@overcastfm I ran into this last year I think where podcast ads were having a fist fight with Pi-Hole and Pi-Hole was winning. Still, it was vexing for a while and I had to get help from @overcastfm to solve it (for which I appreciate the hand!).
Can the human eye distinguish between a photo captured by an iPhone with a 48MP camera and one captured by a Samsung mobile camera with 200MP? I don't believe the naked eye can perceive any difference. However, an experienced photographer/artist can list some differences. IDK. What do you think?
