Black Mirror didn’t do that one, but American Horror Stories did:

Which is surprising because that show normally kinda sucks. Got roped into watching it last year, and I forgot I was watching AHS halfway through and almost thought it was a new Black Mirror.

It’s like we’re on a speed run toward the near-future Charlie Brooker warned us about.

But TBF, “Hang the DJ” was one of the few Black Mirror episodes that wasn’t a total downer.

“Captain, this seems like a gross violation of both the Prime Directive and the Temporal Prime Directive”

Probably at the point they went to the app store, searched TikTok, and clicked “install”.

Maybe I’m remembering early/beta Teams with rose tinted spectacles, but at the very least the silver lining was that I no longer needed to keep a separate Windows machine running just for work IM.

I even tried adding it to Citrix, but it refused to install on a server version of Windows.

We used to use it before switching to Google Workspace (don’t get me started on how much I hate that), and Teams wasn’t too bad. But it had two things going for it then:

• It was replacing Skype for Business which never should existed because it was so awful. Compared to SfB, literally anything was an improvement.
• At the time, it was basically a Slack clone that didn’t have everything and the kitchen sink bolted on yet and was decently lightweight if you used the browser version.

Just going to leave this horror here. It’s the post feed logic from Tesseract that determines what posts should be displayed or hidden.

I read the PR. It seems more like a hacky bandaid rather than addressing the actual issue. But I digress.

It’s also possible I misunderstood where/how the limit was being applied. My understanding was that it was limiting the response to 50 per depth (50 seems to be the arbitrary limit for most of the API’s list endpoints). What I really don’t want to do is have to paginate the request for the top level comments.

e.g. if a post has 100 comments, and say, 60 of them are top-level, I much prefer to be able to get all 60 in one go. Depending on the total number of comments provided in the getPost call, I dynamically set max_depth higher (3-5) or lower (as low as 1) and fill in the deeper comments manually with a “show more” button. The exception is if linking directly to a comment where it uses the path to calculate the exact depth to fetch.

finding one with a chain of over 50 in a row is even more rare. Such a thread would be clunky to display in the main comment tree anyways

I’m working around that without pagination, but it’s a low priority fix since Patrick’s Law come into play. It’s like Godwin’s Law except it says that once a comment thread gets deeper than 9, it’s a slapfight that’s best avoided.

I’ve got a laundry list of reasons, but suffice it to say that pretty much every third party client I’ve ever used has been miles ahead in UX and polish.

One example is that if the API throws any error response and lands you on an “Error” page (post removed, user deleted, etc), the whole UI is stuck there until you refresh the whole page (e.g clicking “back” updates the URL to your previous page, but you’re still seeing the error).

Reduce maximum comment depth to 50 by @nutomic #5009

Goddamnit. I fucking hate paginating comments and would rather just fetch all the top level ones and control the depth based on the number of total comments. I also hate that they see the API through the lens of Lemmy-UI (IMO the worst way to interact with Lemmy).

Just noticed the update available yesterday and applied it. Which is nice since F-Droid had been nagging me to uninstall it due to a vulnerability.

Thanks!

Yeah, definitely.

I hope @willya@lemmyf.uk sticks around on another instance.

Appreciate them! They really do not get paid enough to try as hard as they do.

That,too.

I’ve been meaning to try out a Fairphone

I mean, you can (and should) pay attention to politics IRL to stay informed and make informed choices. But blocking out politics on social media, though, is quite understandable and often necessary for sanity.

I never meme about individual users; that’s just not my style.

It’s merely an illustration of a trend I notice every so often.

Framework needs to make a phone lol.
