I don't know whether or not it is our instance at $dayjob that has a wonky setup, or if it is the elements client, or what (probably the client, as the problems all but disappear in the webb-ui version), but oh how many synchronization issues we are facing. threaded conversations not showing up, or randomly disappearing, clients getting stuck in message fetching loops, not actually fetching anything, notifications of new messages either not appearing, or not disappearing upon reading them, and ON TOP OF THAT no custom stickers/emojis/gifs...
but those synchronization issues... if I want to be sure something reaches the rest of the team in a timely manner, I have reverted back to email
Matrix should categorically not have any sync issues; this is not normal. Something bad must be happening on the server; what server are you using and how are you running it?
Lol, messages showing up randomly days later is par for the course for our tiny group chat, most of whom are on matrix.org. Sometimes element won't download messages for some rooms (or even all rooms) for days/hours. Matrix has gotten far less reliable over the years (and I used to run a few homeservers).
I was like "oh common, that can't be a real comment, it's obvious to everyone how unstable this still is", then I saw that the comment was from Arathorn.
You know, for half of the time you spend commenting over here to save face (or something), you could work with your users and see their firsthand experience for yourself.
The carriers can provide almost as good location data through just doing fairly simple calculations on timings and signal strengths received by the cell towers, and their implicit knowledge about where those cell towers are located.
Good keywords for further reading are (("4G" or "LTE") and "GMLC") or ("5G" and "LMF") and/or OTDOA.
While Google and Apple may be hesitant, what are your thoughts about AT&T or Verizon?
`uniq -c` introduces a "count" at the beginning of the line, so what we are then sorting is on frequency of the unique terms in the output, not sorting the unique terms again (which indeed would be kindof nonsensical)
Aha! I too have seen thumbnails of videos with context clues (product brands in the thumbnail which doesn't exist under that brand in my country) yet with a video title in my native tongue, which a clear "machine translation"-feel to it.
Until I read this thread I assumed that it was the content creator doing shenanigans (low quality AI slop video mass-produced in many languages and targeting my locale with videos for my locale), but it does make so much more "sense" that it would be YT doing this.
And my reaction to those thumbnails, thinking it was the creator doing low quality AI slop, was to "reward" them with "Don't recommend this channel".
So I have been punishing innocent channels for crap that YT is doing...
I can't argue that you are wrong, but I can argue that, for myself, if I don't trust a developer to not screw me over with telemetry, I cannot trust the developer to not screw me over with their code. I can't think of a scenario where this trust isn't binary, either I can trust them (with telemetry AND code execution), or I can't trust them with either.
Could you describe what scenario I am missing?
You’re not missing anything. In general, I don’t think you can really trust the vast majority of software developers anymore. Incentives are so ridiculously aligned against the user.
If you take the next step: “do not use software from vendors you don’t trust,” you are severely limiting the amount of software you can use. Each user gets to decide for himself whether this is a feasible trade off.
I read the gp to mean that error.log (being parsed to look for OOM) would have no associations with userSearches.log, in which an end-user searched for OOM
