    That’s pretty cool. However, no human has ever won by more than 15min, and every horse has a 15min delay built into their times. So even the biggest winning margin of nearly 11 minutes would have lost to the horse if they had started at the same time.














  • You think your internet addiction is rough? You kids these days with your just 1 personality that is addicted to the Internet… Back in my day if you had multiple personalities they all had different interests and did different things. They didn’t communicate and often didn’t even know each other existed. Now they all just sit around on the internet and argue with each other. They can’t even be bothered to make their own accounts.

    I was thinking it was sync, but I didn’t want to call them out if I was wrong…
    I suspect that it was originally written for devices with much less power and much less memory. Also reddit had upper limits on image size. So, Lemmy’s yolo way of dealing with images is coming up against sync’s attempts to be able to run nicely on the worst devices.

    That’s the real problem. The app he is using reduces the image to optimize memory usage, but if the image has too many pixels in either direction, it ends up decimating too much.
    I ran into that issue with one of the Lemmy clients when I was trying them out, but can’t remember which one it was. If I remember correctly, it should be something that you can turn off, but it can drastically slow down how long it takes to display some images.
