#ProTip if you’re using the Ice Cubes #mastodon client on #iOS & seeing ridiculously sluggish performance, the fix (#workaround, really) is…

refresh the timeline 💁‍♀️ 🤦‍♀️

I don’t use timelines much so it didn’t occur to me. refreshing actually dumps the cache, which is the cause of the slowness (which gets worse the larger the cache grows)

I went spelunking in the app’s GitHub repo & found the applicable (closed) #bug, which is allegedly an Apple / SwiftUI List bug that was fixed in iOS 18 public beta 3 - but I’m on a more recent release so maybe a regression or just…¯_(ツ)_/¯

I don't like how Mastodon forces the "Butterfly" icon for a profile metadata entry with the name "Bluesky" and then forcibly renders that metadata at the bottom of the profile page, ignoring the entered order. The resulting profile page looks ugly when the profile data also has non-links or just web links. 😠

‎I fixed this issue by pasting the "empty character" at the end of metadata name "Bluesky". The fix probably breaks agents that look for the name "Bluesky" and I don't really care. 🤷‍♂️

Nice, I think I've found a (for me) suitable workaround for the above problem 👆 :awesome:

The "trick" is to use conditional compilation with `cfg` and `cfg_attr`, so we don't derive or use `Debug` when in context of Creusot.

See the above linked comment on how to do this exactly.

More on `cfg`, `cfg_attr` and conditional compilation in the #Rust reference:

I have written up a workaround on creating #Brevo templates in bulk that later allow use of their drag&drop editor. If you use their API to create templates instead, they only offer inferior rich text/HTML editors. Hijack their web admin requests and use cURL instead:

Outlook-Bug lässt CPUs glühen: Microsoft sucht die Nadel im Heuhaufen

So it does look like the TypeScript language server has a limit of 4MB source size where it disables type checking (and actually shows an erroneous error stating that exports that exist in the file do not exist) for files that are imported but not open in the current workspace/session.

Still not sure if this is documented anywhere or not (haven’t been able to find it, if it is).

99.99999% of the time, unless you’re doing niche stuff like I am, you won’t run into this.

Workaround: should you have such a large file, e.g., with a large generated object, try and refactor to split it up into multiple files and rejoin it a separate file. The actual object size/memory usage isn’t the issue, it’s the file size.

This post's main topic is a "workaround" for the 500 character limit.

I demonstrate how to put more characters in your post using attached on-point images. These are "screenshots" of the posts that are then later replaced by new text.

That simple really!

What do you think?

Also I did not add hashtag spam to say this is "spam".

I use it to say "if this is abused" it could be used for spam.

part 1

This is the text contained in the image:

This post's main topic is a "workaround" for the 500 character limit.

You may feel like I'm saying this is a way to "bypass it". NOPE.
THAT'S NOT IT.
DON'T JUDGE ME FOR TYPING IN CAPS.

We usually judge what things are but do we ever let them just be?

My last post I think didn't get the point across.

With this post(I deleted the previous one) I'm trying not to make this post a spam post and instead something useful.

part 2

This is my 2nd post in the "Mastodon Workaround" system I'm demonstrating. I do think this is ok by the rules as long as this isn't spam, which I think it isn't since it's just my thoughts...

This is the text this image contains:

This post's main topic is a "workaround" for the 500 character limit.

That simple really!

If this is against the rules on your instance please make sure you've read the rules. I did not find any on mastodon.social, mas.to etc.

If it becomes common then maybe someone will dislike...

I don't see this being wrong since I think I represented the image ALT text correctly.

Des personnes auraient-elles une solution au bug de la fonction d'importation de l'archive Instagram au format zip depuis Pixelfed ? 🙏

Does anyone have a workaround for the bug affecting the import function of the Instagram archive zip file from Pixelfed ? Thanks !

Poor cable design? No problem! I can handle it with a little creativity, you know. 😆

A photo of a support in wood with a notch on it, a bit of a diagonal one. I drew a red arrow to show it.

A photo of the display tablet (a XpPen 19 Pro gen2) perfectly inserted in the notch.

Last photo, the keyboard is on top of the support, hiding the cable and being perfectly flat. The display is open, revealing a drawing session.

Black and white portrait showing 3 positions of me researching in books (left) readying myself before a big white sheet on the table in front of me and looking away thinking, or dreaming, or giving up (right). The portrait seem to sprout from one body like a 3 headed creature. The top of the page gains some movement and action, especially since there are a lot of black lines and textures giving it depth. The lower part of the page is empty. two lines in perspective suggest a black page. in the right lower corner there is a closed coloured pencil box. The only colour in the drawing...

In Oct 2021, when Windows 11 21H2 became available, Microsoft provided a workaround that allowed users to install it on unsupported PCs. That workaround has been deleted even though it might still work.
