AIX/370 and AIX PS/2 were instances of the LOCUS distributed operating system, originally developed in the early 1980s by a research team at UCLA based on Unix 4.1 BSD. It supported mixed clusters of IBM 370 and IBM PS/2 computers.
I was co-chief of Level 4 support (the team that actually changed the C code) for AIX/370 and AIX PS/2 at Locus Computing Corporation in 1990-1992.
@feditips That was only happening for a couple of days around Aug 6 when I posted the complaint. It hasn't been doing that lately.
What it does still do is this: when at the top of my feed (in slow mode) I click to see the new posts, it drops me at some random point between where I was (the topmost toot visible pre-click) and the newest toot post-click (i.e. somewhere in the middle of the newly-visible toots).
I'd rather it left me at the last toot I already read, with new ones above.
@feditips The behavior on mastodon.social (using Firefox on Linux) changed yesterday and is still broken today. After drilling down into a post, when I return "Back" to my "Home" display it does not return me to where I was -- usually it goes to the very top (most recent posts) of the feed.
This despite me being in "slow mode" (it does still show me the "n new items" prompt at the top).
This is annoying because I have to then scroll down trying to find where I was.
