@JourneymanGeek Hello, is there any way to get notifications on Android phone? Since Stack Exchange Android App has been shutdown

@Pandya unfortunately no

I've been nagging to the point of annoyance but the replacement is something that's in the 'we would love to do it, but there's other things that are prioritised first'

@Feeds The AI that writes onebox from text

@JourneymanGeek Spam acount: stackexchange.com/users/27720112/corentindufr

@nicael what about it? Random lines generator?

@nicael as usual no idea what you mean lol. That's top bar with your rep gain. What special about it? Why past? It looks recent.

@JourneymanGeek aka a plain and big "NO". ;(

But didn't you mention some open source projects that are doing it?

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog looks like other SU mod got there first, only MSE account is alive.

!!/talk self

@ShadowWizardChasingStars No such command 'talk'.

:(

general note that meta.stackexchange.com/a/341663/294691 is out of date

@Mithical The Salesforce one?

Ah, the past sponsorships?

All the ones that didn't carry over to 2023 but are still in the active list

Yeah, just noticed it. I wonder why it's not in table formatting so that it can be conveniently cut-and-paste...

That aside, the sponsorship logo on Salesforce.SE also disappear, so I asked for clarification on the meta announcement.

Looks like yet another failed experiment. (The whole sponsorship project.)

And as usual, SE taking their time announcing it. ;)

@ShadowWizardChasingStars naw

there's attempts at an app but not notifications

@ShadowWizardChasingStars Its a bit more complicated than that, but essentially unless told otherwise, its a no

hey, can the sql room be unfrozen please? chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/11391/sql

@WhatsThePoint you need a stack overflow mod for that specifically

Where do they usually hang out? Making a meta post seems a bit OTT and I usually get told off in SOCVR for asking questions :D

@WhatsThePoint not really sure

I'm more involved in the smaller communities and I'm not a dev

Ok thanks, I might just have to flag a post instead

it's a shame room owners can't unfreeze rooms

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog kaputted the MSE one

@ShadowWizardChasingStars Its just one site

@WhatsThePoint not really. That's a power ordinary users should not have.

If a room gets frozen it means nobody is using it, I actually don't see the point of unfreezing just to have it frozen again in two weeks. But meh, if mods are willing to spend their time on it, it's their problem. ;)

If one wants to keep room from freezing it's as easy as posting one single message every two weeks, really trivial and zero effort.

@ShadowWizardChasingStars I would have done this if I knew it froze for inactivity, it is a pinned tap in my browser so it is always open for me

@JourneymanGeek umm no? There are no more sponsored sites.

All except the one that doesn't work expired in the end of 2022.

@WhatsThePoint it's in the faq and everywhere in meta and chat. (the fact rooms get frozen)

Can't really make it more known.

Anyway, if your goal is to get help with SQL, sounds like you won't have much luck if nobody is in that chat. :D

@ShadowWizardChasingStars I am the one providing the help, I hang around waiting for people to drop by

@WhatsThePoint oh lol. Well so looks like nobody wants help, which is good. I guess. :)

Relevant info:

@WhatsThePoint there's a friendly bot for that chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/233626/sloshy-the-thawman

@tripleee thanks

@tripleee flagged, still up

@tripleee well, bots aren't 100% reliable.

So the only way to really keep a room from freezing is going there manually once in two weeks and post something, or check the anti freeze bot still alive, but just posting "hi" would be faster. :D

Don't get me wrong, it's a great bot and useful fun project, but it won't be a good idea to just put the bot in a room and never visit it as bots can easily break.

hmm SF spam still alive. :(

@WhatsThePoint there's a general MSO chat room on chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/197438/the-meta-room, mods sometimes (often?) visit there

@ShadowWizardChasingStars lemme check

I have adblock and haven't really been keeping track of my own sites sponsors

@ShadowWizardChasingStars guess not?

@JourneymanGeek yeah but weird part is most died naturally, the one that says it's still alive isn't working either. Sales Force just recently said they cut their employees by 5% meaning layoff of thousands, maybe it's related i.e. they just stopped paying SE as well.

I don't think they'd break a contract

what are they, twitter?

Non renewal, sure

@JourneymanGeek maybe it's monthly payments without binding contract.

I doubt it with something like this

Is there bug report at all somewhere?

don't think so

Pity. ;)

Looks like no spam is still around.

there's always more

flag-pls spam (MS) expatriates.stackexchange.com/a/25002

but other than that, looking good

lol you have endless pool of them? :P

Did they just push a change to how questions are rendered on the front page?

The script I'm running that restores the old look just broke.

@Mithical there seems to be a build dated today?

> 2023.2.7.43224

so its plausible

17 hours ago, at least stackapps.com/a/9654/43962

If its MSE, it gets revisions first? Though .... the US is behind as far as time goes so...

No, broken everywhere.

Looks like something went out yesterday, I've just been mostly viewing from my phone since then.

@Mithical can't see any difference, but they do keep changing CSS all the time.

@Mith can you please check if you see sponsored logo here? (Not sidebar ad, logo on top)

I do not, even with the adblocker paused

looks gone to me

@Mithical hmm so it's weird, someone downvoted my question and asked if I'm using ad blockers.

Probably just assumed the logo is still there without even checking.

@JourneymanGeek you don't have account there??!!!? :D

naw

used edge to check

eww

that way I am sure there's no adblockers since I don't use edge

and my regular browser has built in adblock, and I use adblock origin anyway cause of force of habit

I'm using Edge just to connect to some client's VPN because that's the only way. lol

:D

...what

@Mithical I was messing with a browser called carbonyl, which runs over the terminal

It... works pretty well at a pinch :D

other than being amusingly bad if you try to use it keyboard only

@tripleee finally gone

@JourneymanGeek I remember posting this message here today but iirc I haven't replied to your last message nor pinged you but after getting this reply from you, I suprised to see that it is showing that I have pinged you!!
