I’m not sure your comment accurately or fairly represents things.

Narcissism is genuine psychological disorder. Your comment doesn’t explain how he would be one of “the most narcissistic people.”

However, you genuinely made me curious about how many people have been contributing and by how much, so I looked it up on GitHub as you mentioned. There have been 159 contributors. The second most being 210 commits. Dan is the number one contributor at over 10,000 commits!

I can’t know his motivations, only what he shares publicly. I don’t follow PixelFed development closely. I don’t know why he’s trying to do so much at once. And I honestly thought Sup was short for Whatsup.

What I do know is what it’s like to slave for thousands of hours, writing millions of lines of code, trying to manage multiple projects with numerous hands in it, ridiculous deadlines, and with customers and users quick to criticize without truly understanding everything entailed in such projects.

Perhaps I’m honestly ignorant and he really is someone to loath. So far though, PixelFed has been a gem that connects me with a lot of beauty. I personally know loathsome humans. There’s plenty more in the news daily.

This Forbes article though? It’s doing something really good for the Fediverse. It’s highlighting the need for funding projects like these. And, yeah, it mentions Dan because he’s the one who got these projects of the ground and has done nearly all the bleeding and sweating for it.

I get the concerns and fears, but I’m not sure there is reason think we’re there yet.

I guess I’m just grateful.

Good luck, @Shadow@lemmy.ca. 🤞

I mean, I’m very okay with that too. 😁

Can we please fine him a few billion dollars for intentionally littering in space?

WTAF?!

I do. I need it.

Just kidding. I’d be fine with 39 million.

It’s easy to raise rates when the competition is doing the same and people keep paying for it.

Don’t worry, things will get disrupted eventually and we won’t even remember what Netflix was. And they themselves won’t care because the C-Suite executives will be rolling in millions upon millions which is the end goal for these companies anyway.

So what I hear you saying is that even less people are profiting off of the massive returns. Got it.

Exactly. The content we pay for can’t even be consumed properly. It’s forced to be done within very specific confines. When you think you own media or software, that company simply changes its terms and you’re out money and the content. It’s all ridiculous.

I’ve been cutting services over time and Netflix is on the chopping block now. It gets so tiring when one is trying to do things legally.

Someone has to think of the shareholders. Regular and persistent profits aren’t enough. Must make more moar MOWER! 🤑

My partner is typically mild-mannered… except for when they play this game.

“What the 🤬! I was cut off AGAIN! @3@&# 1($$-$-#!!!”

this is great! EXACTLY what i hoped for. thank you!

I may have a bit of an addictive personality when it comes to new things I like. My partner is quick to remind me of this. Often. 😏

Plus I was at my in-laws house for 2 weeks. I needed something to keep me disengaged from them. 🙃. Plus, the drive each way was 14 hours.

I read through these books entirely too quickly. Despite some aspects of Butcher’s writing that rub me the wrong way, I came to really love the world-building and the characters as they developed. It’s been a couple of years since I finished and I’ve been eagerly awaiting the next couple books he has on the docket.

Started the Stormlight Archive over xmas break. Just finished the novella Dawnshard this morning and have Rhythm of War queue up on my reader to start today. 💜

Alright, @otter@lemmy.ca. Here’s some more information.

General Findings

• Problem occurs on the WebUI as well while logged into Lemmy.ca.
• Problem occurs regardless of WebUI front-end used.
• Problem occurs regardless of Andriod apps used.
  • Exception: Eternity (Nightly). I don’t know if they poll for information differently or what, but I can endlessly scroll without issue at the moment.
• Error outputs are unfortunately inconsistent between FEs. (The standard mobile UI shows no error and sim.)
• Problem occurs both with and without VPNs employed.

  • Will try if/when they approve the account request.
  • Really want to try this since they are using the same BE as lemmy.ca
• lemmy.sdf.org and another instance with BE: 0.19.3
  • Will try if/when they approve my alt accounts. If someone knows an app where I can browser sdf as anonymous, then I can do it now.

Errors By Application Note the differences in how the error is presented. Sending timestamps and IP to @Shadow@lemmy.ca via DM for the following:

1. Boost (Android)

2. Voyager (Android)

3. Photon as Android Firefox PWA via lemmy.ca

4. Lemmy WebUI via lemmy.ca

simply renders empty after the timeout. this was page 2

Still experiencing this on other apps as well. Attached is screenshot from Voyager. Still need to figure out a way to try and get some logs.

Any word on others experiencing this?

It certainly is common enough. You had me looking it up now myself. No luck though. 🤔
