Sensible Alexander

@SensibleAlexander Quoted? From some source? Generally quotes should be left intact or edited with the edits marked somehow (I usually use brackets around the edited sections or omissions).

Sensible Alexander

@Catija ugh, thanks... yeah I've heard about marking the edits...

Catija

@SensibleAlexander I don't know that there's a standard practice, though... I'm basing that on what I do and what I think is good practice. It can look confusing if you quote something and it doesn't line up exactly... but if you notate that it's been changed, that's not an issue.

Do you have an example?

@Catija @SensibleAlexander If I'm quoting - I'd say "any errors are on the source"

I wouldn't fix those - maybe comment?

@Shog9 I edited the post to remove the comments and replace them with actual text. Could you please verify that?

I have a feature request.

Do you think allowing one to see their flagged posts (provided the flag is not self-removed) even after it's deleted is good?

As of now one can see deleted posts if it's in a review audit.

Then what about flagged posts?

anyone good with macbook?

John Dvorak

as a laptop? As a cutting board? As a windowstop?

user202362

I can't believe how hard it is to create a new file on a macbook

Catija

What's special about "macbook" as opposed to OSX of some flavor.

user202362

I mean ... really?

user202362

@Catija OSX is a operating system, macbook is a machine that usually uses that OS

John Dvorak

Are you explaining that to yourself?

Catija

@Telkitty But largely the platform is irrelevant... particularly "creating a new file"...

Q: How to create a text file in a folder

In windows I right click and then there is an option to create a text file. How to do so in mac?

macos finder

user202362

textedit ...

user202362

I duplicated and renamed a file then edited it

user202362

still, user should be able to click and create a new file in one go

user202362

04:21

great, now macbook refuse to turn off because instrument is on, and I can not quit instrument because it would not die

user202362

user202362

user202362

I feel like WhatsApp suddenly being buggy since 2018

user202362

I have unlimited sms on my plan, I try to not use whatsapp but my friends insist on using it

user202362

I don't see the point

user202362

I turn it off most of the times

Sensible Alexander

Err, you have unlimited SMS, but they don't?...
