I did a bunch of research today on removing OpenID support on Stack Overflow (and our entire network). After seeing the data, I'm convinced it's the right path forward. More talking tomorrow.
@JourneymanGeek I told them I would if no one else does... not that I don't want to mod the site... I just want Stephie to get the spot... and, you know, failing twice on the same site... seems a bit depressing :P
@if.... I created an account just to read the meta post...

Best upgrade software ever - download page has some 20+ files, took my best guess, downloaded it. it came with a zip, unzipped it. It shows 100+ files, clicked most likely one ...

The "disable personalized advertisements" option has a passive agressive textbox when you check it like "You'll still see the same amount of ads, but they might be irrelevant"
Whenever did it become OK for me to pay over 150 euros for an OS to still have to sit through a metric ton of ads and spend over an hour disabling all the bloatware windows 10 ships with
Before you can do anything you have to accept no less then 3 EULAs and get through 7-10 screens pestering to log into various accounts, before starting with more advertisements and having to disable and uninstall more advertisements
And at every turn they bring up some BS like "Do you really want to change this setting? Why not just use our product" "You might not be safe if you're not using our product instead" "USE OUR PRODUCT YOU SHEEP"
"Do you want to uninstall this worthless program? Press yes to keep this program and don't deinstall so you can keep paying us money and see our advertisements"
The amount of underhanded obviously aimed at people who don't know what they're doing tactics want to make me puke
> Microsoft once got sued for unfair competition because they bundled a web browser in they OS (market share abuse etc). Yet, no one seems to find unfair that they bundle in the OS a demo for a game they own
MT 24:22 In fact, unless that time of calamity is shortened, not a single person will survive. But it will be shortened for the sake of God’s chosen ones.
@JohnDvorak never I touched the store, Minecraft was downloaded anyway. Even better, I was told that the setting to block those demo games downloads is in the store (something related to disable app updates)
I'm more upset over the 25000000 fearmongering screens that warn you not to change default settings for certain things and to please ohh pleeeease use their proprietary products instead. Please buy our office 365 subscription you sheep!
And McAffee is just straight up like "No, you don't have permission to uninstall me. I know you're the only admin and all, but no, you'll have to buy a license to uninstall me"
You have bought the internet security suite license. Now, please, download the installer from the internet (what? what you mean saying you wanted to install the suite BEFORE connecting to the web??), give us your soul mail because we need to sell your personal info and activate the app.

I see When a question that had bounties is deleted, are they automatically refunded? is very similar, but this is discussing bounties that expired and were awarded and may have been refunded by a moderator, not bounties that were never awarded and deleted by the OP.
Several months ago, I put a 2...
I don't want to. I want the powers that be evaluate if that new feature for bounties affects the situation described by psubsee2003. If it turns out to be solved or changed due to that feature we can take the appropriate action. I don't feel confident enough to call it a dupe, or close it for anything else for that matter.
@rene The question was, can you not? Doesn't the system prevent you from voting to close the same question again, since you already did so once?
@rene Subquestions 2 and 3 are covered in the FAQ, but 1 isn't. I think this should be edited to address 1 exclusively, so it's not a dupe of any question. — Ano2 mins ago
@ShadowWizard Yeah. I didn't watched a movie after I started hunting for bugs. I always turn the TV on but don't watch it at all. It's a 20x7 work and even in between sleep, I wake up frequently and check the progress on my bug reports.
> Anál nathrach, orth’ bháis’s bethad, do chél dénmha. The Charm of Making, an incantation repeatedly uttered by both Merlin and Morgana, is in an Old Gaelic dialect that translates to "Serpent's breath, charm of death and life, thy omen of making."
For the ones wondering, that was to fix a Schrodinger Cat syndrome.
@Ano possible explanation: she is pink now but was more purplish back in Sonic CD... so she clearly is using some sort of hair dye. Probably she thinks Sonic would do the same and paint himself black.
@SensibleAlexander you came from Anime and have the courage to call us the image board? :P
Amy Rose (エミー・ローズ, Emī Rōzu), originally nicknamed Rosy the Rascal, is a fictional character in Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog series. She is a pink anthropomorphic hedgehog with a cheerful, competitive personality. Amy is known for and characterized by her obsessive love for the series' main character, Sonic. Throughout the games, she is almost always depicted as chasing or attempting to find Sonic, and showing him endless displays of affection whenever she's successful (regardless of whether or not she has Sonic's consent). They have saved each other's lives on a number of occasions, and have fought...
In one of the various comic (think it was the Archie one?) she goes as far as to change her age in order to be able to follow Sonic.
Since the resistance didn't want her because she was too young, she uses a magical Mac Guffin to get older. And Sonic was the reason she wanted to join the resistance.
That said, it was wasted comical potential. Young Amy managed to get us this....
Hi! Is there a way (and by that, I mean "how" too:D ) one can look for which user on a site or network-wide has maximum number of helpful flags? I just came across this user's work and that made me really curious about the efforts others have made in keeping sites clean.
Someone shared this recently. FB Messanger left the wp-* things unchanged. provide the admin login page accessible to everyone messenger.fb.com/wp-login.php
When I tried then, the username was just admin and it showed the password for username 'admin' is incorrect. Now they've updated WP version. but it is still there
@Derpy coming from anyone else, I would have said something about the first word in the comment... But since it is from you and I have no idea what the comment says... Afraid I missed the point. :(
Unless it is the obvious "why did you use the Nullable Operator?? :)
@RougetheBat It's true, some of the answers are arguably not as correct as they should be, although there is generally a "most correct" answer out of the set (something I have gotten used to from being repeatedly to questionable professors).
It feels like Stack Exchange has basically turned into Reddit in a way. With a lot of SEs like Workplace.SE, Academia.SE, IPS.SE, Worldbuilding.SE, etc.
These SEs are used mostly to kill time/read entertaining things rather than actually get answers. If you look at the popular questions on some...
The thing is, the question doesn't even have anything to do with Reddit as such. If you want to discuss whether or not SE seems to move from answer to entertainment, ask that.
Tickle torture is a term used to mean the use of tickling to abuse, dominate, harass, humiliate, or interrogate an individual. While laughter is popularly thought of as a pleasure response, in tickle torture, the one being tickled may laugh despite whether or not they find the experience pleasant. In a tickling situation, laughter can indicate a panic reflex rather than a pleasure response. Tickle torture may be a consensual activity or one that is forced, depending on the circumstances. In a consensual form, tickle torture may be part of a mutually fulfilling, physically-intimate act betwe...
