@Tiny You're forgetting the part where they have to give us their billing info and credit card details ;) In the extremely unlikely event that we get a rep farm so well financed that they can afford a team, we would shut it down. — Tim Post ♦ 3 hours ago

user315433

So, Teams will be a 100% paid product?

user315433

The initial announcement made it look like a mix of free and paid tiers.

user315433

I admit this kind of formatting is the style I like most, but usually those sidebars have some CSS... This one is from Academia

Catija

@FTP I don't think they've fully decided what they're going to do. It could be tiered... or it could be all paid... they could have carve outs for groups they're willing to host gratis... SE-related ones like Charcoal or SOBotics, for example.

@FTP You seem pretty adept at username changes; have you voted in my username poll?

Journeyman Geek

@Ano can we stop spamming people about the username poll please? Its ano-ying.

Ano

Where do you see a spam link?

Journeyman Geek

dosen't need to be a link. If people are interested they will vote. I've seen you ask at least three different people, specifically about it. Not cool.

Ano

How do they know it exists? It's not pinned, it's buried down in the transcript, and Catija said she doesn't read transcripts. Norm wasn't in the room at the time I sent any of those messages (AFAIK), and I imagine they don't read transcripts either.

Just to be clear, you are one of the people who doesn't like being "replied" to in the middle of a conversation, right?

In fact, someone asked me not to repeatedly post the link earlier, and I stopped posting the link.

Journeyman Geek

1:07 AM

@Ano It dosen't piss me off hugely but I don't do it. "Someone asked me not to repeatedly post a link" - also means not to bug people about it.

Catija

@Ano I'm user #2...

Ano

Since when did you put a pronunciation guide in your profile? I've never seen it until now

Catija

Considering you mentioned it a week ago...

Feb 24 at 3:05, by Ano

@Catija I just opened up your profile page, and I saw a pronounciation guide for your name. It wasn't there the last time I loaded it (or I didn't notice it). Did my previous discussion about that prompt you to add that in?

Ano

Memory can fail me at times. It's not 100% perfect. If you've read my Suggested edit by Anonymous answer, that's one of the reasons why I edited anonymously. Also, I implicitly supported (by drastically improving) a feature request to make editing FAQ posts require 2,000+ rep.

But seriously, when did you put it in?

Catija

3:02 AM

Few weeks ago... before Feb 24th?

I don't remember. I was tired of people asking... It's been a longstanding enough joke that if the mods had a many memes, it might qualify.

Ano

I don't generally open up people's profiles...I think that first time I asked, I stumbled upon it by mistake, perhaps due to a glitch I recently posted about on SU.

If people don't scroll, they won't see it. At least on my high-DPI machine.

Catija

@Ano Won't see what?

Ano

The pronunciation guide. It's obscured and you have to scroll down to see it.

(At least in Edge and with 125% DPI)

Catija

@Ano Oh, yeah. Meh... Most people don't look at profiles anyway.

Its the concern. "If there wasn't a atomic mushroom cloud on the horizon, would you be willing to buy this lovely beachfront apartment?" — Journeyman Geek 20 secs ago

@JourneymanGeek So you mean, you'd support it if it wasn't a concern? (I can't say assume it's not a special case because I'd be contradicting myself.)

Journeyman Geek

@Ano Its the concern.

THERE'S AN ATOMIC MUSHROOM CLOUD.

Ano

@JourneymanGeek Yes or no?

Journeyman Geek

I'm not going to be thinking of buying a house.

I have... Zero training as a CM. I'm wholly unsuitable for this role, with the exception of a big pile of experience in online communities in general and SO/SE in particular. For most of the stuff I do, I've had to learn it as I go along...

Journeyman Geek

Not exactly sure one can be trained to be a CM

to use the tools? To handle the queues? sure, maybe

(or as a mod, which is something I'm familiar with)

Ano

What would you think of a "sandbox" site, where one can test out mod tools without actually being a moderator? Something like thetestwiki.org for Wikipedia

Journeyman Geek

Its not about the tools ;p

(which admittedly can be better documented)

but a lot of it is literally just dealing with people. And dealing with exceptions, or not.

rene

8:01 AM

@Ano That sounds creepy, so I wouldn't call it typical. At best I will ask when people leave for home if they will be safe on their way. Then we can work out what is needed without the situation becoming awkward.

I suggest by the way to always bring @Bart in those cases, the guy with the glasses always get hit ...

Ano

@rene So you think that question could be staged?

Journeyman Geek

@rene but but BART IS GLASSES!

rene

@Ano IMO 99% of the question on IPS.se are staged. I don't think that one is in the 1% group.

[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Blacklisted website in answer: Ruler/Protractor tool - change snapping values for easier snapping to vertices? by Apple Customer Support on blender.SE

rene

@Ano well, what can I say to offend you? It can be real or not but foremost it should be closed as off-topic on IPS as it is missing the Interpersonal aspect. It is you who perceives the problem, you deal with it. But I'm really bad company to discuss this because I don't care and can't be bothered by those personal type of issues.

Journeyman Geek

@Ano sounds just like the plot of die hard 2.

Ano

@rene It's not a personal issue. Also, my threshold for offending me is much higher (lenient) than most others'.

rene

Fair enough. I consider the discussion between you and me about that topic now closed.

Ano

8:18 AM

@rene Yep.

@JourneymanGeek I edited my question with a bit more severe of an example. Please edit your quote.

user202362

People who are really confident with their own interpersonal skills or don't care about it probably never visit websites on interpersonal skills

Journeyman Geek

@Ano ehhhh

@TelautonomousKitty trolly but true

I actually do think avation might be a better place for it

but shrug, I'm not playing for rep on either site ;p

Ano

This is a question on interpersonal skills between me and a flight attendant. There, it's on-topic. Sheesh.

how to fix gimbal problem without buying a new one?

Journeyman Geek

Ano

@TelautonomousKitty Buy a new camera with optical stabilization

(I recently purchased the Sony FDR-X3000 which has it, and it's really good)

Journeyman Geek

not sure how that helps her drone ;)

John Dvorak

I wonder if a 6-wire tensile frame controlled by pulling the wires would be a feasible option for drones. I'd call it the puppet frame.

Journeyman Geek

Journeyman Geek

John Dvorak

though tethered planes are also nice to watch

rene

@JourneymanGeek congrats with your new privileges ...

Journeyman Geek

@rene hehe. Also, as I said, no major milestones till 30K

funny thing is I got most of it (I think about 20K) in the past year

rene

Yes, you are a concern to me

Journeyman Geek

8:40 AM

;p

I do you a concern?

rene

I'm looking at overtaking Jon in the all time ranking. I can't have you pass me

I need to be higher on that list

Journeyman Geek

quite some way for me?

I'd like to be top 50 tho

rene

The problem is I really only get rep from the SEDE questions and answers and the occasional hit when it comes to policy questions.

Journeyman Geek

lol

I tend to concentrate on the latter

oh, and terrible questions with "good" answers ;p

The dark web is seen as a haven for drugs, paedophiles and hit men. But it's more than that.

rene

Did you try the darker web?

user202362

not sure how to

John Dvorak

the darker web is hidden under 100 layers of TOR

the darkest web requires at least 257 layers, to exclude 8-bit machines

user202362
