You owe someone an email

Deficit spending isn't necessarily a sign of an unhealthy economy.

[-] indigomirage@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago

Perfect.

[-] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I mean, if debt to GDP is kept constant, then it’s ok

[-] luthis@lemmy.nz 14 points 10 months ago

You just hit the delete key one too many times, so there is a pending 'delete' action that will apply to the next email to arrive.

[-] JoShmoe@programming.dev 6 points 10 months ago

I understand how that would work. However, I haven’t deleted anything.

[-] skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 7 points 10 months ago

I'm guessing someone who has been deleted (spammer?) sent you a PM after you already cleared your notifications. The notification counter goes down to -1, the app sees notification_count != 0 and draws a special little marker for the negative notification count.

Hopefully the problem will fix itself next time you get a notification. If this isn't what happened, I have no idea how you would fix this without database access. Ask the server admins in that case, I guess.

It went away when I cleared my unread messages.

One heck of race condition. Rust mean safe as corroded metal.

[-] skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 4 points 10 months ago

Rust means safe as in memory safety. Humans are fallible, you can still have database bugs, no matter the programming language.

Are you going to die?

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 11 points 10 months ago

you owe us an email, buddy

[-] skullgiver@popplesburger.hilciferous.nl 11 points 10 months ago

Lemmy does that sometimes

[-] HonkTonkWoman@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

aww… I wanted that trophy

[-] FaceDeer@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

You just need to defeat its current holder.

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

By getting -2 messages?

[-] FaceDeer@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

I was thinking by killing them, but your way is probably better for everyone.

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I just clicked that icon to check my inbox, cause reasons

Twice

So that's how my day is going

[-] xilliah@beehaw.org 7 points 10 months ago

In 7 days you'll get a phone call and then you'll die.

Billie mays?

[-] xilliah@beehaw.org 0 points 10 months ago

Hi, Billy Mays here!

[-] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Someone didn’t hope hard enough that their message finds you well.

[-] Mango@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

RIP your inbox

[-] mggnn@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 months ago

How did you get 4294967295 unread messages ?

[-] MxM111@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

That simply means that when you receive new letter and open your inbox, the amount of messages you see will be exactly zero. And yes, you will die, but not today.

[-] AlolanYoda@mander.xyz 4 points 10 months ago

Not necessarily today. You never know!

[-] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago
