I go on Google and I see that “south africa collapse” and “south africa civil war” is trending.
From what I’m seeing, the South African government has been shutting down the power grid for hours a day due to electricity shortage, and now there are fears of a total power outage that will undoubtedly cause massive civil unrest.
Can anybody tell me more about this? Are the Economic Freedom Fighters (or any other Marxist party) involved in this, and hopefully getting ready for when the conditions are right?
Happened to me too, are you using jeroba? It seems even more bugged than normal lemmy somehow
No, at least I don’t think I am. I must admit I don’t know very much about the underlying technology of these platforms
The bug in this case seems to be caused by the WebSocket connection. Essentially, Lemmy streams events to clients. For example, if someone likes a post, Lemmy will send a
CreatePostLikeevent with the current score of the post. In order to receive the events, a client sends Join requests telling Lemmy which post it’s currently viewing so that it receives the relevant events only. I believe what’s happening in this case is that events for the wrong post are being sent by Lemmy, and the client, only expecting relevant events, assumes it’s part of the current post.Jerboa is a Lemmy client, a program that can talk to Lemmy. It’s an android app. If you’re using a browser to view this, you’re using
lemmy-ui, not Jerboa.
