Looks like the image got deleted. I don't see it in Thunder, and I don't see it on the website either.

It's going to be 7 gigabytes.

They? You mean the A.I. that made this? You think they ever gave shits?

Don't forget to dot your i's and dot your t's!

"Demon"

It was always "demon" (spelled daemon or dæmon), as in a spiritual attendant. Christian mythology has poisoned the word, and anyone who says "daymon" to not offend them is a coward.

Edit: When I say it was always pronounced "demon", I mean the nerds who started calling a small background program daemon pronounced it "demon".

For those who have no idea what this is (like me 5 minutes ago).

Sega teamed up with Nintendo to develop a GameCube-based arcade platform. Bolstering their ranks was Namco, another coin-op stalwart with tons of arcade veterans.

Three companies, one mission: Triforce.

The Triforce hardware is built around a stock GameCube motherboard, with two Triforce-specific boards attached to it: the AM-Baseboard and AM-Mediaboard.

As of Dolphin 2512-395, Triforce support is here!

The article is very long and contains a lot of history and stuff.

Alt-double-click to open Properties on a file is straight out of Windows. It's something I really missed!

End of story. That settles it. Case closed. No exceptions. That's final. Consider it settled. It's non-negotiable. End of discussion. That's the final word. Nothing more to add. Enough said.

Maybe new super heavy elements could do cool stuff if they didn't decay within microseconds. When trying to design ways to make them, you don't want to waste your time making ones that aren't going to be stable, hence the need to predict that.

Impedence is the combination of resistance (ordinary resistance to current) and reactance which is resistance specific to alternating current which comes from the capacitors and coils in the equipment. Even a squiggly circuit trace can create reactance. So, impedence is resistance.

Whatch this short for a clear explanation:

From what I've read, and from talking to a guy who own a music studio near me, impedance mismatch is a real thing in audio equipment. At best, it'll lower the sound level causing you to have to crank up the volume, which just puts more strain on your equipment. Worse, it can cause crackling from waveform peaking. At the very worst, it can damage equipment.

Brushing it off just because the guy doesn't know the wavelength of audio signals is a dick move. No wonder he stopped talking to you. I bet you, yourself, know a lot of things, a lot of true things, that you can't explain to the utmost detail.

After scrolling a couple pages (endless scrolling is on) I start seeing "Instance of 'LemmyApiException'". Once it starts, the tiniest amount of scrolling—even upwards—causes the error. I can make a bunch of rapid, itty bitty scrolls, and each one will hide and reshow the error.

What is Thunder doing with the API on every single scroll? Even up? Makes no sense.

I don't have "mark read on scroll" enabled, or anything odd. I haven't changed any settings in weeks, and this started happening just a few days ago. It might only be happening on my home instance. I could test with an alt.

Update: I can't reproduce this using a lemmy.world account

 

Update: It's worse than I thought. It's crashing my VPN! I use the Mullvad VPN app. After that crashes, Thunder crashes. This happens every time.


First, it slows way down and stutters a bit, then turns all black and crashes to my home screen.

Is this happening to anyone else?

If not, can you please add a setting to disable it? It's just not for me. At best it's a distraction while I wait for the image to load. At worst, it blocks part of the image.

 

I've had three comments in my inbox for about a week and every day I try to mark them as read, but it doesn't work. They disappear from the list at first, but then when I refresh they're still there. I get the error in the picture which says, LemmyApiException: couldnt_find_comment_reply

I just went to the website and logged into my instance, and I had no problem marking the comments read from there. They disappeared from my Thunder inbox, too, after a refresh.

I saved one of the comments for debugging purposes, in case there's something we can look at.
