Resident Vegan: Racoon City

If it helps; I made a post about it below, with replies from the dude who can address it (literally The Dude, heh).

(I dunno if there’s a better way to link to that. Relative newbie to Lemmy etc)

No worries! Thanks for the fix, and running the instance.

I’m so sorry for my delay. Just had a hell of a weekend at work and only just resurfaced.

To give you some more detail (it might not be good enough for QA but I’ll try)…

Blorp 1.9.4, Pixel 7, Android 16.

I mentioned in the title of the OP that the issue occurs when browsing All/* (New/Hot/Active).

For Blorp, the issue presents after I load All/anything, then scroll through the feed until it stops, I assume it should have infinite scroll, I keep gesturing ‘up’ (to scroll down more), but no more posts appear.

I can scroll back up to the top and gesture ‘down’ to make it refresh and it does, but just the initial 50 posts then no more

I assume 50 posts is the first-page fetch.

My initial post was also triggered by my experience in Boost, which actually shows a ‘timeout’ error popup, about 30-60s after scrolling to the end of the first page-feed.

Lemme know if you need more details.

I’m not sure if that, sorry. That’s just my primary (?) instance, and I’ve seen it happen before and saw another post thinking it was the instance, too.

It might not be just the instance, since it only happens when aggregating ‘all’, and not local or subbed.

Bear with me. I’m a relative newbie to Lemmy & federation.

Same (via Boost & Blorp for Android, last few days)

Long anecdote short; no.

Short anecdote long; nooooo. I had a Selenocosmia Crassipes (from north-east QLD, Australia) for a year or so, and she never seemed to … ‘warm’ to me.

I had to get her out in a cup regularly to change her substrate, and/or attempt to give ‘pats’ after a few beers, but she’d always rear-up to strike :/ But I was her cricket and pinky-mouse dealer!

I didn’t research it. I don’t have studies to cite. I didn’t approach it constructively.

I just hoped one day we’d click, before going on adventures together.

I miss Fluffy.

Software/solutions consultant, and union actor.

I mean I was. I mean I am. I dunno. 20 years in I.T. starting from programming to a ‘senior tech consultant’. But was then made redundant. Didn’t get a job straight away. Started working at my girlfriend’s bar as a bartender & server.

That was over a year ago. 60+ applications for jobs in I.T.; zero interviews. WTF.

I’m trying to work out why & what to fix, but for now? I’m a server & actor.

I’m reading and tinkering with technologies but not nearly enough. And will have to explain the gap in employment.

It’s getting harder to resist the urge to panic and break down.

Up down left right Y B X A …

I’m not even sure that that’s right, and I’m not even sure what game it’s for.

SNES definitely. Maybe Street Fighter II Turbo? Done at the CAPCOM logo it’d make a sound, then- you could play as the bosses? Maybe?

Or it’s the movements for Zangief’s spinning piledriver, heh. (It’s not)

Yeah that sounds like a good path!

I used to love advanced math, physics and game coding, so I’ve revisited the 'Landers several times over the years (a day here and there in the middle of life/emigrating/careers).

If you also Google for solutions to the 'Landers you’ll find people have done hardcore analysis and genetic algorithms!

(cough like this)

Next mission: somehow hack UE5 into CodinGame and let it sort it out.

I think it is!!

Gather food & liquids, cancel any plans tomorrow, fire it up in a browser.

Y’welcome.

To add to the list, Codingame.com

It wouldn’t be the first thing to try. Get the basics down on your own machine/environment. Try this for something additional.

CodinGame gives you the IDE and build environment in your browser, so it’s for learning/practicing/testing coding knowledge without building/deploying locally, or worrying about UI/persistence/networking etc.

It’s filled with coding puzzles and competitions. I started where they give you animated scenarios (to look like part of a game or engine), and you contribute a small, missing unit of code to complete the challenge.

You can choose from 25 languages, they encourage unit-testing, and there are global coding competitions and company outreach to top coders. I don’t wanna say they gamified it… but they did.

But once you’re comfortable with those, CodinGame lets you practice different concepts & algorithms without having to come up with the bigger systems around them.

I’ve loved it for getting back to coding after a while, tinkering with certain concepts, or trying other languages.

I’m not affiliated with it. Just loved the idea & execution. Except for Mars Lander III challenge. That can get @#$&ed.

There’s never been a better time to reference Arrested Development;

“There’s ALWAYS, money, in the Banana Stand”

Upvote for The Castle reference?

I skimmed the title and misread as “salvia”. Mistakes were made.

I actually know of a clause in a recent contract for a small, one-episode/one-line role in a new TV show, that said it gave permission to use something (I was told) that said “synthesized performances”.

Like I said the role was small, not a big-name actor/who might die soon. It was just a character who worked in a place who would’ve been seen regularly in the background. So the agent said it was their guess that the production would film the character live first, then recreate the person with A.I. after that.

The agent struck out the clause, and the production accepted it.

So could that mean they’ll do the right thing and pay the actor to come back every time they need filler? Or just won’t fill-in future scenes with that character/actor, to save paying them?

And did they intend that just for this character this time, or all the other small & background characters in that scene & beyond? Or are they just testing the waters, putting it in all contracts for any size role from now-on, just in-case?

I guess we’ll see how many agents are reading every clause buried within the sea of standard stuff.
