Just to say. The waffles trigger is going to be a pain on most sites ._.
01:22
@JourneymanGeek The trigger they have is wrong...
@Catija .... oh
total, not on a post? ;p
it works, but it's not the intention.
._.
I think that's the definition of "its going to be a pain" ;p
Speaking of pain...
I think I need to retire my first ever SE swag T shirt ._.
(Its ok, I have a newer equivilent or two, though those first run T shirts were sweet)
They've switched companies over the years, though if you're getting say SU swag - the white ones for older sites might be the heavier old gildans.
the newer ones are a little lighter
(god. I sound like a swag snob ;p)
01:44
@JourneymanGeek Awwww
SNOB!!!
@Catija I blame being in VFX a while
while it isn't free, the crew T shirts and hoodies are sweet
Some people like thick, but some of the thinner shirts are really soft.
oh, the stuff that Tested is pushing out through cotton bureau's both
(actually they're currently my platonic Ideal T shirts ;p)
I personally prefer a little heft in my T shirts
(amusingly my oldest t shirt's 15 years old, super heavy, and probably irreplacable...)

@JourneymanGeek I didn't realize you could power a toaster off of usb.
sure you can
Seems like it'd take a while.

its for plugging in full sized USB things into 'phone' type devices with the older plugs

I learned OTG on SA. :P I'd never heard of it until I was participating there.

I'm not sure if its I who needs to remember not everyone is computer geeky, or you who needs to remember many people here are computer geeky ;p

it went south? you went south?

Q: Add a confirmation dialog before suspending people on chat

MithrandirAt the moment, suspending folks in chat is pretty easy: You press a button, and they can't chat for an hour. The problem is, this button doesn't have any sort of confirmation. It just... goes ahead and suspends them. This doesn't make sense; the "refresh profile" button, right next to it, does h...

@ShadowWizard no, not at the same time - just three of them have received downvotes

Just the two three of us...

Hey, @Tink, want to help me do an experiment that shouldn't cause any issues?

@Bart Do you expect a rant why on a site about Interpersonal skills there are programming questions in the sidebar?
10:01
@Mithrandir If it involves mod abuse, sure! :P

@rene absolutely. And in a language that isn't even a real programming language. /me ducks

yes

@Tinkeringbell lol, that's an actual thing :D
Okay, I think it worked.
@Bart Of course it is!
10:03
Yep, seems to have worked. Thanks!

Oops, something bart happened!
Today's list of random perfect tweets is here: diwmotz.nl/random-tweets-229
I just killed productivity :P
@andmyself story of my life
@Tinkeringbell stop making me procrastinate even more!
10:05
@Bart You know, there's 228 other lists like that. And then you haven't even seen the ones on specific topics. The ones on "Heel Holland Bakt" are good too. You don't even have to watch the show, just read the tweets after ;)
Now the reason for that experiment was so that I could answer a question from 2011 :P
In a couple of days I get to see Dutch TV again ... afterwards I always come to the conclusion I don't miss having a TV @Tinkeringbell :D
@Mithrandir Okay, what did I miss?
Nothing... I just answered a question.
@Bart We have Netflix for a reason too :P Although some shows are worth the giggles. And have you ever seen Hunted?
10:07
And this had the added benefit of merging the tags, making it easier to get rid of them.
Only one tag to go through now, instead of two.
@Tinkeringbell heard about it. Never seen it.
@Bart It's quite good. It's really great at keeping up suspense, though there's a lot of repetition in it too. Or, as my dad likes to shout at the tv 'Dat weten we nou wel'
:D
Sounds a bit like "Wanted" which was broadcast in the 90s I think
Tros Wanted was een tv-programma uit 1997 dat werd uitgezonden door de TROS op de publieke omroep. Het was de Nederlandse versie van het Engelse programma Wanted en werd gepresenteerd door Jack van Gelder en Mabel van Dungen. Een team van experts in de live-uitzending stond onder leiding van Klaas Wilting. Het was een multimedia spelshow waarbij de kijker betrokken was, maar het kan zelfs gezien worden als de eerste realityserie in Nederland. Voor het TROS-programma Wanted reisden drie teams van elk twee kandidaten 18 uur per dag, 7 dagen per week kriskras door Nederland. Ze werden op de hielen...
It's something like that, these people have to stay out of reach from a team too, for three weeks. They're getting small clues/tasks too
I really like to see how the tracking goes :)
And how stupid people can be. I mean really, calling home?!
They wouldn't expect that ...
10:14
No one will figure that out...
Or leaving an entire plan on your PC :/
eh, unless its a fake plan
and the phone call is fake
Nope, neither were.
Honestly, least you can do is get rid of anything that uses/has a GPS or microphone, get rid of anything that gives them insight into your personality and helps them predict your actions, and erase your browser history! :P
no, that's what I'd do ;p
I wouldn't even gamble on leaving a fake trail. It's too obvious.
Too hard to make it believable
Besides, you need to be really good at erasing the real trail too to pull that off.

How do I set a gravatar image? I'm not even sure which email address SE wants to use for it, SE knows of three email addresses associated with my account.
And I don't see the option to use a gravatar image in my profile.
you only have one primary email address (the one on "edit email settings") - probably that one is used for the gravatar
@ThiefMaster Ok, let me see.
Hmm, I think my Mathoverflow account might be using the gravatar for the MathOverflow email address though, even though the primary email address changed when I merged the accounts.
@b_jonas the email in your Mathoverflow profile?
Note that here you're using identicon, not gravatar.
oh never mind, my mistake ^
Ok, I uploaded an avatar for my SE email address, now I think I have to wait a few minutes for the option to appear in my profile?
11:39
@b_jonas yup
I was hoping it would just show the option even if I haven't uploaded a gravatar, but no, it's trying to be too smart
weird, i'd expect it to be available regardless of whether you have an avatar uploaded to gravatar or not (is there even an api to check that?)

Q: Check if some email address register at gravatar?

user147How can I just return false or true if email address is register at gravatar with php? Tnx

and yes, confirmed with my sock that when the email has no gravatar, SE doesn't show the option when editing image.
Also, @b_jonas you appear to use Identicon so waiting won't help.
You need to go edit the profile and choose Gravatar when it appears.

TIL 'file' is still a magic number
@Magisch I agree
I thought replacing 1 and 2 with 'folder' and 'file' would be reducing the magic-numberness a bit
What folder? What file? :P
I think you have to declare them variables to actually decrease magic-numberness? :)
@Tinkeringbell function sanitizeFileOrFolderName(object_name, mode)
where in similar functions in the past mode used to be 1 or 2 but in mine it's file or folder
13:08
Strange language. I'm out :P
@Magisch Yep, so file and folder strings should be in constants ;)

That's almost certainly a spam title.

@ShadowWizard no, that's my public email. I won't add a gravatar to that. I put the gravatar to a suffixed email
@b_jonas well, check it here. If it appears there, you should see the option to set Gravatar as your avatar on SE too.
13:52
You can't... just upload a transparent image to gravatar and then use that?
@Mithrandir you can upload that transparent image to SE, what's the point?
It won't be transparent
Who said he wants it transparent?
@ShadowWizard It does appear there.
@Mithrandir That's what I'm trying.
@b_jonas so give it until tomorrow, maybe SE is really slow in checking those things. If tomorrow still no option for Gravatar, start a bug report.
13:53
That's what this gravatar quest was for...
@ShadowWizard I want it transparent, especially for chat because Sci Fi chatrooms have a dark background, this chatroom has a bright background, and I have to use a single avatar for all of chat.
@Mithrandir oh, probably missed that.
It's less of a problem on the SE sites, where I can use a per-site avatar.
And I think all other SE sites have a bright background anyway.
This room in particular will take your avatar from your Meta.SE profile.
Sci Fi chat is the only exception, and the background is terrible, but tha's what other users see.
@Mithrandir Yes, this is in a separate chat domain.

Exactly
True. Sci Fi chat vs Lit chat then.

Why is this question showing as deleted by nobody? The revision history doesn't show a deletion entry.

@AnneDaunted Should we also burn ?

17:59
@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog I edited all questions more appropriately tagged (i. e. chat) and . But there remain others about ignoring questions (but not tags) or users outside of chat (e. g. their comments). I don't like as it looks pretty meta, but it doesn't look right without some tag - maybe other specific tags like ignored-questions or something?
@AnneDaunted I'm just going to burn it. Four of the remaining seven uses use other tags, and of the remaining three, two are closed as duplicates (so it doesn't matter), leaving one as a single-use tag.
That's fine with me
needs 2 more

19:28
@Tinkeringbell Right.
@AnneDaunted why?
@Catija because this
@Catija It's back to the blogs now. Forums are so 2010
@rene To be fair, if a tag has 10 questions only, I don't see much point in wasting a whole meta thread and a whole lot of time on deciding to burninate it
2
You should mention that in the post
I'm too intimidated by the almighty Servy
Whoops did I say that out loud?
I'll let my anger subside a bit before I respond there
Oh you're more intimidating now
19:44
I believe a meta discussion for a barely used tag with no clear purpose, where no reasonable person would disagree with the removal is just overkill and a waste of time.
but that leeway is only allowed and documented in the MSO burnination process
@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog Careful you don't accidentally call people unreasonable. Saying a tag has no clear purpose is fine; assuming that there are no reasonable disagreements is likely to start fights.
@ArtOfCode There are no reasonable disagreements to that sentence
technically Josh has a fair point and we have been doing it wrong
@rene However, more has been done with less hassle with a slight dent in rules
I don't want 7 consecutive questions on why a meta.SE tag with 5 questions should stay
