@eli It’s actually only half the pixels of a 4K display, so my 12” MacBook can drive it fine. It’s 3440x1440.

@eli Yeah that’s my main machine. I also have a 13” pro that I use for video editing and audio work. It handles final cut better than the 12” tho I can do video on the 12” in a pinch. It’s also nice to have a computer without all my normal distractions.

@amit My replies are all sent via webmention from my website, not created in micro.blog. I’m guessing that’s where the discrepancy is.

@eli Why have two monitors when you could just have one really really wide one instead!

My new standing desk is finished! So excited to come back to this after next week's crazy travel! Check out the second photo for my super obsessive under-the-desk cable management! #standingdesk #flexispot #homeoffice #productivity #deskporn #cablemanagement: aaronparecki.com

@aaronpk that monitor is bananas

@aaronpk do you need to do anything special to push that many pixels?

@aaronpk that is bonkers and awesome!

@aaronpk is ther 12" MacBook your everyday driver?

@aaronpk very intriguing. Thanks for the lowdown. 😀

@aaronpk why should this conversation be all broken? I see Aaron’s replies first and @eli’s questions. 🤔 cc @manton

@amit Looks like it got confused about the timezone?

@aaronpk @amit dueling Portlands. Maine v Oregon

@amit Not only that, but @aaronpk’s initial post is shown as being 3 hours after his first reply to @eli!

I agree with Aaron that the time zones are wonky; at first, I thought it was ordering based on the literal local time and not accounting for UTC offset (since Aaron is in Portland, Oregon PDT/UTC-7 and Eli is in Portland, Maine EDT/UTC-4), but that doesn’t explain everything in this conversation, let alone in the full Timeline 😕🤔 /cc @manton

@smokey Guess number two is that more than one Micro.blog server has gotten its time or timezone out of whack.

@smokey @aaronpk @eli must be some feed then? I think as long as the timezone is taken care of in the feeds, it should not be an issue for the reader, especially if the responses originated at Micro.blog?

@aaronpk Yep that’s the issue. Your posts are still shown out of sync with current time.

@amit The fact that it’s also happening to replies, within a single conversation, leads me to believe that it’s something on Micro.blog itself, not a/the feeds (although in this case @aaronpk’s replies are posts on his site, which makes it less than a slam dunk hypothesis; however, the main Timeline…). That and the fact that many people’s posts in the main Timeline are sorting all out of order (and @Burk and @macgenie’s posts from this afternoon are still at the top of the Timeline, 6 hours later); I find it hard to believe that a whole bunch of people’s feeds on multiple platforms all went bad at once :-) It’s also possible that a bunch of people’s feeds on multiple platforms, including some, but not all, M.b-hosted microblogs, were bad already and a change on M.b just exposed the problem, but to me the simplest explanation is that something related to timezone handling in Micro.blog itself is broken right now ;-)

(This reminds me of attempting to figure out what was wrong with a website that wouldn’t work for a user in Camino when we had no access to the website in question…lots of shooting flaming arrows in the dark based on the limited information the user was providing us ;-) )

@smokey Yeah, possibly. Aaron’s post are fine in other feed readers.

@aaronpk Looking nice!!! 👍

@smokey @amit I haven't corrected the older replies yet, but I have this fixed for the future now. Sorry about the confusion it caused.

@manton 👍🏽👍🏽
