    Lovely day for a walk back from the dentist with an entirely numb mouth. Also, turns out my phone has this AI assisted action pan photo mode.

    The amount of pinned daily threads is starting to get a bit silly. They’re not even from this year!


    Managed to write a whole bunch of emails and applications (10+), so yay me, although I’m completely knackered.

    Also feel like I might be mildly cursed. Every time I contact an RACV drive instructor, I get asked for details, and promptly ghosted afterwards. 2 more, and I’ll be out of the ones that serve the local area.

    Joke’s on me for buying the vouchers first, and then trying to schedule an instructor, rather than going the other way around.

        I get this as well. It’s the pinned posts on the melbourne comm.

        What it looks like on db0:

        What it's (probably) meant to be like:

        Don’t know how or when this happened.

          Can confirm that the latter is what it looks like on aussie.zone. Guessing it’s some issue with federation.

          @Nath@aussie.zone, @lodion@aussie.zone, @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com any ideas what’s going on?

            What a fascinating issue! No, I have no idea what’s going on, here. It’s clearly some sort of federation bug. The pin request is federating, but the unpin is not.

            I’ve checked six other lemmy instances, they all have extra Melbourne Daily threads pinned. They each agree that

            1. Mar 22 2024 (Today)
            2. Dec 26 2023
            3. 26 Nov 2023

            Should all be pinned. I don’t know what November and December 26 have in common, I wonder whether they’re Lemmy version upgrade dates? There was one at Christmas time, I’ll have to double-check the exact date.

            Beyond those dates, five of the six instances had random dates pinned (though two of them had 01 Jul 2023) still.

            This isn’t affecting aussie.zone users.

      In my experience with the Lemmy.world instance, sometimes pinned posts will not “un-pin” the next day. You need moderator status to unpin them I think.

      That’s unusual because with in 10 minutes of me posting the thread at midnight some kind soul pins it and unpins the old one.

      Ok, I won’t say I’ve fixed this bug, but I have managed a dodgy hack around it that fixes it sorta. In the immediate term, it has been fixed it for lemmy.world and lemmy.dbzer0.com users. I’ll look at other instances soon.

      The answer is to re-pin the post, wait a while (10 minutes is enough, but I might try reducing it and experimenting) for that to propagate/federate across Lemmy, and then Unpin the post. Doing it this way unpins the post properly.

      It appears the original unpinning for some dates didn’t get exported to other instances. I’m still not sure what was special about November and December 26, I got a bit distracted with the solution and not bothering much with the cause.

    Buying a tiny personal wheatbag for the cat was a good call. I’ve heated it up and tucked it in next to her. Hoping at some point she’ll put her head on it so the warmth can help the ear pain and let the antibiotic drops sink in deeper.

    It bugs me that I didn’t notice further problems until now, but I thought the first round of drops had cleared it.

    Movie Review

    El Conde. Netflix.

    this movie is awesome. First thing. It’s different and new. The hardest thing to do in the world is to make something different and new.

    Imagine Iñárritu ( I googled them tildes ) made a parody of Isabelle Allende’s tiresome sickly sweet books ( yes I have read some ) , Sound of Music, Interview With a Vampire, Knives Out and Judgement at Nuremberg .

    Visually, it’s really very beautiful. Tawdry scenes in horrible places with horrible people look like art. Even the dialogue of the English translation is very good, the Spanish must be like poetry. The story is a mind fuck.

    Scenes that really stick. The nun learning to fly was lovely. A joyful mind using a gift from Satan.

    The scene where Pinochet is describing some of his crimes against humanity. I have been hearing this stuff for decades and have to intellectualise or I get too distressed.* At the same time * he is blending a heart and then drinks it. Which makes me feel disgusted and sick.

    !!! Shouldn’t the description of his crimes have made me feel the same? Am I numb. 😔 Not unwillingly, but I have to make myself numb or I can’t function to do good in the world/fight these bastards in my own way.

    I will watch again.

      the message.

      Sometimes in life there are no good choices.

      Sometimes we have to get in bed with a devil, pinochet, to kill a another devil, galtieri. 😔one devil is better than two devils

      It doesn’t look like he was trying to chase you for money, so maybe he’s just (thinking he’s) doing a public service?

    I’m going to be wrecked for a week but I got the ear wash. Hopefully it cleans the wiggies out so the medicated drops can do their thing.
