But at least this idiotic slow-clap is in good company, since playing HDMI audio in iTunes does the same fucking thing.
Bug reports filed?
You're adorable.
shh bby is ok
To clarify, you're talking about Twitter's native OS X app? I can't reproduce it with Twitter open in a web browser, is why I ask (I entirely believe that this is the kind of tomfoolery that Twitter would perpetrate).
Yes, I am talking about Twitter.app 4.1.3 5002312.
Just ran across a similar bug with the xmms coreaudio plugin yesterday..
Twitter app tends to evil since the programmers need to please Twitter instead of you. Any chance we could convince you to spend a few bucks on one of the Twitter apps?
Why the fuck would I do that? Twitter's official app policy is still "we will execute you if you get popular", is it not?
Pretty much. There's definitely a "building a house in the hurricane storm surge zone" aspect to it. But hey, beach house!
haha - there's a twitter app? jfc, now i've heard everything. we'll give you crap to sort your shit, if you please. hahaha. maybe i need TwitterOS to host my twitter apps on my twitter device. its twitter all the way down, hahaha.
Isn't this Apple's problem, not Twitter's? Screen locking should never, ever fail.
Obviously arguing about whose fault it is doesn't solve your problem.
No, this is absolutely Twitter's fault.
The programmer who decides to auto-play a video in a loop in a window that is not even visible on the screen is fully responsible for the consequences of their actions.
The reason this assertion exists is so that when you are watching a full screen movie, the screen won't auto-blank and lock until the movie is paused or stopped. That specific case is a reasonable behavior. Almost nothing beyond that is reasonable.

Give programmers a knob and n00b programmers will twist the fuck out of it to show how 1337 they are.
