I believe you.
... so we now have fractal, simultaneously compounding and also decohering layers of irony.
The irony factor now has an imaginary, unreal component rofl.
Oh lord.

i apparently cannot figure out ascii shrugs, nvm
I don't know exactly how that post counter ... actually, technically counts posts, but:
1:
Zip going down could have uncounted all posts anywhere made by zip accounts.
2:
There could have been some kind of... propogating post count negation effect, as various other instances reacted differently to zip users posts on their instances could not pull them anymore, on different time scales.
3:
If a zip user had a ... top level comment, on another instance, its possible all lower level comments responding to that comment may also have poofed out of existence, in some respect.
...
I may be misusing some terminology here, and this is just spitballing, but yeah.
Almost all of my .zip account's posts/comments... are not on zip itself, and its possible that that is fairly common amongst .zip users.

Here's the post.
Evidently, Demigodrick has since fixed the problems and successfully upgraded to 0.19.11

EDIT: Alternate explanation: The fediverse tracker has fallen victim to Trump Tariffs as well rofl.
It may have been lemmy.zip
It did in fact go down for about 48 hours... prompting me to make this new account on dbzer0.
Basically, the admin attempted to update to a newer lemmy version... and it failed, multiple times, and they just rolled back, restored the old version, posted an explanation and apology, and they'll be further looking into ... exactly what went wrong.
Ah, ok, I appreciate the correction!
Doing my best trying to remember my course work from almost two decades ago, looks like I missed an important detail.
... and that detail makes the situation... even worse, wonderful.
Hey.
HEY!
There are a lot of penguins on some godforsaken island in the middle of nowhere that need to be bombed until they understand democracy and freedom.
('freedom' and 'democracy' subject to terms and conditions, limited time offer, no refunds)
No disagreements, no notes.
We (USians) are completely cooked, totally fucked.
We'd have to erect a new government, and then actually demonstrate stability for a decade or two... to begin to be able to undo Trump's damage, to be treated as anything other than basically a rogue nation that also has the world's... either the first or second largest/most powerful military.
I can only hope some more civilized places may begin to more seriously consider Americans seeking asylum... though I of course completely understand why they wouldn't.
Fuck, that sounds awesome!
I used to have a set up like that, though it was wired, not wireless. I'd just haul the rig out to the living room lol, had a fairly small and light pc, so it wasn't too much work, did cable management to make the transitioning easier.
Also somewhat related... I was just talking with another person who was unable to get that level of quality, resolution and frame rate via streaming their PC to their living room TV... also they mentioned input latency with very fast paced and fine tuned racing games.
You mind if I ask how you're actually doing the streaming?
I meant it jokingly, meta referencing the toxicity of the entire 'real gamer' elitist nonsense.
You are still a real gamer to me lol.
Though I genuinely would suggest you play Ocarina of Time, if you can.
You say you're a PC gamer? Yesterday I was in a Nintendo Switch 2 / Steam Deck discussion, and I just set up an emulator and am running the 3ds OoT remaster at 60 fps!
(Somebody just asked 'hey can you run 3ds games on a Deck? So I just... did it, and reported back lol)
If I can do that on a Deck, you can do it on a PC =D
It doesn't come off as snarky at all, no worries!
Genuienly... Like, I myself am autistic, and I'm willing to bet a whole lot of other data scientist type technical data sets type careerists either are as well, or are close.
What I'm trying to say is: It is genuienly difficult to be both well versed enough in the math and data... and at the same time have the requisite communication skills to present a whole lot of complex data in a way that people with less expertise can understand easily... while also at the same time not over generalizing so much that you are actually giving a just flat out false description or misleading metaphor.
I appreciate your summary of what I wrote in the last post.
I have had some trouble with achievos registering in some games, but it seems like you've run into that ... a lot more frequently than me.
I dunno what to say, I don't know why that would be the case, but I do know that that was/is an issue a lot of people have had... I completely believe you, and ... I am currently frustrated that you've gone through that, I'm getting flashbacks of games crashing right before I complete them or save files hopelessly corrupting.
=[
Oh goodie, thats wonderful news for the 401k havers, rofl.
