They missed "oh nevermind, I fixed it" without explaining how or ever commenting again.

Also somewhere in the middle:

"There's been no report of this for a while so we're marking it resolved."

Developer1: @developer2: could you take a look, I know u know stuff about this.

Developer2: can’t reproduce. Might be able to if I get the app logs in trace level, the blood of 3 dragons and a signed autograph of Michael Jordan’s third hello world program.

User1: here are some other unrelated logs at info level only and nothing else.

Git bot: clozed y’all.

But if anyone tries to open a new thread on the issue it gets marked as a duplicate and removed

Or the "How dare you zombie a post this old!?"

"Someone fixed it in ." with being only remotely similiar and the "fix" not being available since 10 years anymore.

edit: hey, they fixed the bracket bug in Lemmy?!

[–] [email protected] 104 points 9 months ago (5 children)

Gets linked to a reddit post with someone having the exact same bug as me.

Comment 1: This comment has been deleted because of Reddit's api change, here is a link to lemmy lol

OP replying: OMG THIS FIXED IT THANKS!!

[–] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago

Sorry not sorry

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

As one of the very likely commenters that falls into this i'm sorry, but fuck the reddit administration, i left them nothing. Hopefully you might find an archived version of the answer.

That's why I whitelisted the comment editing from subreddits where it might be helpful. Even r/linuxmemes, I left some helpful comments there too.

I’m actually part of a email chain that randomly got created because of a bug on GitHub that created an issue out of nowhere.

Every year for the past decade or so folks pop up, say hi, talk about life, etc.

We’ve celebrated birthdays, graduations, marriages and births and talked about job losses and even death of loved ones.

Thanks random GitHub bug.

"So, how did you two meet?"

"He spent 2 years on a linux support forum helping me fix and nVidia driver issue. we've been married for 6 years this March."

[–] [email protected] 55 points 9 months ago

How did you fix it?

"We didn't, but at some point he started spending more time at my house trying to diagnose the problem than he did at his own place. Eventually we just decided to move in together"

Haha my first thought

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Nothing like receiving a GitHub email with a page of traceback cuz someone replied to an issue thread. It looks like they're running anaconda on windows. And their problem is probably something else. Oh gosh, why did I waste my brain looking into this traceback? But sure this was very relevant to the discussion.

There's also always someone that says "I fixed it, thanks" and then doesn't say how.
