Question regarding `ConfigureAwait(false)`

[MartyIX]

Hi,

I have been trying to figure out a question of mine regarding:

https://github.com/brminnick/HackerNews/blob/aaad2453ea329005a5e50b1ec5cdaba350b8dc7b/src/HackerNews/ViewModels/NewsViewModel.cs#L76-L106

Basically, my question is: Is it OK to use ConfigureAwait(false) here: https://github.com/brminnick/HackerNews/blob/aaad2453ea329005a5e50b1ec5cdaba350b8dc7b/src/HackerNews/ViewModels/NewsViewModel.cs#L78

?

The reason I'm asking is that IsListRefreshing is not necessarily set on the UI thread:

https://github.com/brminnick/HackerNews/blob/aaad2453ea329005a5e50b1ec5cdaba350b8dc7b/src/HackerNews/ViewModels/NewsViewModel.cs#L104

And I wonder whether one can set view model properties (used in data bindings) on non-UI threads. Is it or is it not?

Best regards!
