@ambientspace I’d cancelled an order yesterday for a product that was continually delayed. The store asked if I’d like to order anything else before getting a refund set up. Everything I was interested in buying was out of stock. Even patch cables!

I’m not arrogant enough to turn this into a “they should make it easier to tell that a filter is active. This is a UX issue”. This was all me!

@ambientspace I would imagine so, but Mutable Instruments shutting up shop recently got me spooked! I also saw a year-old Reddit post that expressed a similar frustration at Scales never being available. Got me wondering if it was perennially out of stock.

Nevermind! Apparently I had a filter for media posts only on my home timeline. That’s a relief!

And this post isn’t showing in my timeline. Though it does if I view my own posts. I also got a reply to an earlier post, but am not seeing anything in the mentions view. Might need to use Metatext or Mammoth for a while.

Anyone else notice missing posts from their timeline? Noticed this evening that one of my own posts (made through Ivory) wasn’t visible. Had a look in Metatext and on my instance web app, and could see it in both. Then noticed other posts from my timeline that weren’t showing in Ivory either. That said, they were there if I went to the federated timeline in Ivory.

Has it always been this hard to get a Scales by Intellijel, or is it a recent shortage? Seems like nearly every Intellijel module is out of stock these days too.

Just had an interesting thought about using a Z80 processor to make some sort of Eurorack module.

@shezza_t more likely to have gotten a dolphin rush up there 😉

Holy shit. Ballycastle Harbour is absolutely freezing today.

@iain meh, that seemed pretty tame 🙂

I do see it being forked and commercialised though. Eugen is making Mastodon for a specific mindset. There’s a lot of people approaching Mastodon with an attitude of “I want this to be Twitter without Musk. Make it happen, nerds!”

I still think both viewpoints are valid, as is everything in between.

@seanddotmedotuk @LeifB73 I’m not completely clear, but it is possible to clear out the posts from local and remote caches. What is a bigger problem is that the server caches avatars and header images from every account that has ever had a post seen by someone on the instance.

If you were to boost someone I don’t follow, I get a copy of their avatar and header, and it lives on my server forever. There are moves to get tools to clear those though!
