Thanks for the updates! I’ve been really enjoying seeing this coming along. Looks amazing.

I really enjoyed the Tetris one - thank you!

Extreme enthusiasm from me about The Planets! Hope you enjoy it!

How about two pieces of paper (based on a t shirt I saw once)… paper on your front, with < BODY >, and second piece of paper with < /BODY > on your back. Made me laugh when I saw it :)

Edit: the tags keep being deleted… perhaps it is readable now…

I think Maslow’s “hierarchy of needs” is interesting. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow’s_hierarchy_of_needs “… the idea is that individuals’ most basic needs must be met before they become motivated to achieve higher-level needs.” I think the bare necessities are the lower levels: food, water, warmth, rest. My first thought was that technology would be at the higher levels (eg “creative activities”), but actually it is involved in the lower levels also. I say this because the boiler providing my family with heat broke down during snowy weather earlier this year.

There’s a TV series called “The Secret Life of Machines” from the 1990s, which has a whole 30 min episode about vacuum cleaners. I think it’s wonderfully presented - funny, clear, entertaining, gives a good understanding for how to grapple this sort of problem. https://youtu.be/CJlrbMHLBd4?si=G2X40txUnYn3iUA1 I think mains powered vacuum cleaners haven’t changed much since, so it’ll probably still be good information, although it won’t get in to battery powered models, because those are newer.

A few years ago, I used dosdude’s “patcher” to install 10.13 on a pretty old MacBook Pro that couldn’t run it. It’s been working really well. I think “OpenCore” might the more modern version of this. Worth a look?

Apps like Halide can give RAW files, which I think gives access to data much closer to what the sensor actually recorded.

Thank you for the explanation and transparency

I appreciate the late night efforts and the clear communication. For me, Beehaw is a positive place I can visit, but there are other things I can do also, and I have no need for many 9s of uptime here. (I’m trying to reduce any pressure you & others might feel - perhaps not communicated it well tho, hence this addition.)

I’ve just updated from 0.0.6 to 0.0.7, but found it wouldn’t show posts. I kept seeing “Something went wrong. Sorry, something unexpected happened. Please try again.”

I signed out and in again, and now I see “Mlem couldn’t fetch you account’s information. File a bug report.”

I see an existing issue https://github.com/buresdv/Mlem/issues/181 which might be related. Should I create a new issue, or describe what I’m seeing as a comment on that issue?
