“Man rests from one labor by doing another.” That also works for managing chronic pain, as I’ve discovered…

  • Yeah, the full 64k of RAM was never actually available. Only about 39K was directly available to the common user, but programmers could steal some extra memory from non-essential areas as I recall it.

    What you could do is take advantage of disk memory to load more code / content, but then again, the disk was painfully slow for CBM’s. Drives were very capable and ‘intelligent’ (having their own CPU’s and RAM), but Commodore really fumbled the bag by not designing code to speed them up. You needed extra software or a cart to do that.







  • A couple things I know of related to her talk show: 1) She kind of ‘showed her true colors’ by being snarky and mean-spirited (“haha, it’s all just fun”) towards many a guest, even making some cry or weirdly putting them on the spot when talking about a traumatic thing in their lives; 2) She was seemingly revealed to be a toxic a-hole behind the scenes to her staff and others. This is evidently not unique at all among talk show hosts, but paired with #1, it kind of sunk her reputation, it seemed to me.











  • The community was (very likely) blocked that produced a bunch of the tallied comments here, that’s all. Blocked in my personal settings.

    So now the comment counter sits at 37, and I can see many more of them that were later produced in this version of the thread, but still not from Fediverse memes@feddit.uk. I think what caused that is that the post probably originated there, then was cross-posted here. But PieFed (and maybe Lemmy) evidently has a feature which pulls in comments from places where a single thread was cross-posted, leading to the root of this issue.

    Make sense?


  • Confirmed. What really set me off is that the comment counter I see currently sits at 25, but checking now, those are ‘imported’ comments seemingly coming from “Fediverse memes@feddit.uk.”

    Going through my blocked /c list, that particular one doesn’t seem to be blocked, but I do have a lot of meme communities indeed blocked. I think then, that’s likely what happened. I got tripped up by thinking in the ‘block post’ mindset, unintendingly blocking comments I otherwise wanted to see.

    Okay, I think mystery solved. Thanks for your feedback on that!


  • Well, this is odd. This is the first-ever post (here or anywhere else on the FV) in which I can see the post and thread, but the comments are invisible to me. Meanwhile, they are indeed visible if I view without a cookie (private window).

    I don’t know of any blocks or settings I’ve made that would cause this… 😕
    EDIT: I’m most likely wrong in that. A block I’d set up for a different purpose is probably causing this.
