Someone at Meta University hasn't figured out how to relabel buttons in the dialog.

Sometimes I read twitter to see who has a really boring life

~~Sunday~~ morning

user202362

Ok, must admit that I am a bit bored these a few days and I am in a destructive down spiral

12:37 AM

I'm always bored...

user202362

I am not bored when I have a lot of interesting things to do, but these a few days I am waiting on 2-3 things and I can't proceed until they are completed.

Shog9 has added an event to this room's schedule.

I guess this has to be pinned for a while...

Close is an interesting case, because arguably the creation of close flags created a lot of the moderation issues we've been dealing with for the past few years, @Servy. Traditionally, there was neither a "queue" for votes nor an expectation that they'd be "handled" - your vote was effective if other voters reacted in kind to the post within a relatively short time period, otherwise it was just, like, your opinion, man. Flags came with expectations though, and close flags created expectations for voting. Trying to sort this out has been interesting. — Shog9 ♦ Apr 25 at 20:14

user315433

Interesting point, but with the current aging process this seems to be sorted out.

user315433

It's natural to expect that most closeflags and closevotes will age away because nobody cares.

user315433

I recall there was some concern about users being able to flag/vote again if their earlier attempt was unsuccessful.

user315433

In practice, hasn't been an issue afaik.

TIL "thruout".

aww... I thought you made a webservice

DD certainly needs API to support 3rd-party software.

@AndrewT. It has an API.

@bjb568 What does the cm thing do?

@Doorknob makes "5 cm." become "5 cm"

Thinner space, no dot

Doorknob

Oh, okay

@bjb568 How did you get the thinner space?

Curious: Is there any use of HTML outside of building a web?

Apparently, yes, HTML email...

Doing serious moderation on SE sites is actually taxing...

Bart

7:34 AM

@AndrewT. do non-serious moderation then. Randomly ban and laugh about it. Suspend outstanding users. Just to take the edge off

@Bart 11/10, will do it again.

Bart

Glad to be of assistance

@Unihedron The URI doesn't have anything to do with the file type. The file type is decided by the mime sent by the server. Because of this, foo.png may be a gif.

But animated pngs are a thing.

When we first launched meta, something pretty amazing happened—we came together and defined what we feel is one of the most transparent and inclusive ways that a company can communicate with the people who use what it builds. We pretty squarely give credit to all of you for some of the best featu...

Thanks!

I think it would be a good idea if the sidebar link would link there instead of this room.

3:16 PM

Hehe, trick question.

user315433

3:44 PM

@bjb568 How is one supposed to "see" this, especially on a static plot that can't even be rotated?

user315433

It's not that hard to see that two concentric ellipses are never linked. But the second part, about all three together...

@Meta Just see it.

With a pure heart and soul.

Today's xkcd comic (Adult):

(1) That shopping cart is full of AirHeads, and (2) I died at 41 from what the AirHeads company spokesperson called 'probably natural causes.'

user315433

5:19 PM

[spam] Enhanced Review script now also includes Triage. The downvote option was sorely needed there.

user315433

@xkcdBot I should totally do that last thing, but... :-/

user315433

Dying as an expat without a will is a recipe for a major mess.

Q: Notify users when their [approved suggested] edit is rolled back

@Meta On the plus side, it's one mess you yourself won't have to deal with....

2

I'm currently going through a particular user's suggested edits, most of which have been accepted by nincompoops, and which do only silly things like code-formatting arbitrary phrases and adding thanks. I'm encountering one or two instances in which someone's beaten me to it, but it occurs to me...

feature-request suggested-edits notifications rollbacks

That could actually help with all the editing sprees SO has been suffering lately.

Q: Adding up chat rooms to the main site

0

The main site seems to have the chat rooms visible in the side bar as can be seen in the message How are the chat rooms decided to appear. There are other quality chat rooms that can be promoted so that there is a active community on chat as well but i dont seem to find any info on it.

feature-request support

user315433

5:35 PM

@Shubhank The two most recently active at the time of page refresh.

it isnt

user315433

Refresh being server-side; the sidebar is cached.

i am pretty sure its only lounge C++, python , JS and PHP room in there

Maybe those rooms have very active bots?

!!/coffee

@S.L.Barth brews coffee for @S.L.Barth

5:36 PM

they are active but if theycould you know sponsor other rooms for few days. we will have a pretty wide chat community

Sunshine

@AndrewT. Done. Pinned it.

user315433

@Shubhank I'm sure nobody is "sponsoring" any chat rooms, or deciding which one will show up. It's a straightforward algorithm, like the list of questions.

you cant be sure :P

user315433

Well, at least I can downvote the post. :)

i can get it upvoted :P

are you one who likes to troll here ?

i was kind of discussing with jon clements and he slept in between

so thought to open a thread.

anyway. enjoy :) cya

Are there more people who couldn't see today's Low Quality reviews in their review history?

@Meta shading and stuff

Perspective works for me.

@bjb568 How can I tweak my "unthumbnail non-gif links in star box" userscript to ignore a mime of gif?

Uh-oh... today's "downvotes should have comments" has appeared on MSE. Some poor user is about to get a barrage of downvotes....

I wanna see!

Oh, found it.

I want to edit it... >.<

[ SmokeDetector ] Link at end of body: What exactly is this Shell Script doing (got it from honeypot) by Hadi Abou Nader on askubuntu.com (@kos) …

6:20 PM

I don't think that's spam, but it's a poor question.

@Unihedron As trainwrecks go that was a mild one.

... There are entertaining things that aren't crashing and burning, you know.

A: What exactly is this Shell Script doing (got it from honeypot)

Well, there's a reason I didn't post a link. No point in making it worse than necessary.

After all, you can always count on MSO and MSE to downvote these things into oblivion, without help.
