Am I right in thinking that this, which I totally didn't write, will permanently tie up one of the few Default threads, and that four of these running on a 4-core machine would prevent any coroutines from running on Default?

val someStateFlow: StateFlow<Unit> = ...
GlobalScope.launch(Dispatchers.Default) { someStateFlow.collect { ... } }

As long as there is no long blocking operation done on the threads, it's not a problem per se. Collecting a stateflow never ends, indeed. But every iteration in the

collect

call has a suspension point, so the thread is regularly yielded to other coroutines (they can interlace freely)

Oh, that makes perfect sense. Thanks (again)

But yeah, don't use

GlobalScope

😄

hahaha I'm trying
