Tavern on the Meta

3:01 PM

@Blue sure, the magic/merges with (chat) accounts and the untanglement of it is the territory of the SE Devs. Not much we can do about.

user370331

@rene Uh, so what would be the right step for me?

rene

Not sure why you deleted the MSE post though, unless your problem is solved.

user370331

@rene I can access Meta now. So that is solved

user370331

But can't access chat

user370331

The MSE post was about not being able to access Meta

Is there any way to delete my chat account ? (So that it gets linked with my current account?)

rene

Chat.se right? It might be that a mod can fix that for you by fiddling with your chat account.

user370331

@rene I see. So how should I contact a mod?

rene

But I'm not a mod myself so I have no idea what they do

@Catija @JourneymanGeek @hichris123 can anyone of you have a look if you can help @Blue with their chat account on Chat.SE? Something is borked for them.

Q: How does one delete a chat profile?

The process of deleting a site profile is explained in Help Center and elsewhere. But I don't see any instructions for requesting the deletion of one's chat profile. (Why delete it? To disassociate self from chat content, for example. The chat profile may contain information that identifies the a...

Catija

I'd need a link to the chat account... it's really difficult to find it.

@Blue your turn ^

@Blue what site do you want to change your parent user to?

and you arn't currently suspended anywhere, right?

or deleted an accoun under suspension?

user370331

@JourneymanGeek Nope. That was around 1 and 1/2 years back iirc

Journeyman Geek

oh

that's bizzare

hm

your chat account seems linked to a deleted account on math

but you do have a math account... so

Catija

@Blue Did you delete your entire network account and then recreate one using the same email?

HTTPS

3:10 PM

account merging is almost always bizzare...

Catija

Try again on chat.se?

Journeyman Geek

lol

I was going to do the same

user370331

@Catija I recreated one using a different email. They sure weren't same. But maybe they shared the Facebook account

Catija

@Blue That probably could have done it... your chat profile was reparented to Physics, and your username and avatar now matches what it is in here... can you use the server?

user370331

@Catija Yeah, now I can use it. Thanks!

Catija

3:12 PM

Sure :)

You should probably be able to safely reparent to Math if that's what you want now that it's synced with the correct account.

user370331

@Catija Yeah, sure. Physics SE would be fine for now. :)

Quantum Computing Site Launches with the Help of Strangeworks

Rachel Ferrigno on March 27, 2018

Last week, we rolled out our latest feature designed to help tech industry leaders engage more directly with the developer community. In a partnership with Strangeworks, Stack Exchange launched the Quantum Computing Q&A site at the SXSW Convergence Keynote in Austin, TX. During his Keynote, Strangeworks Founder and CEO William “whurley” Hurley discussed how quantum computing will forever change the computing landscape with advances in fields like artificial intelligence and next-gen cryptography. To say that quantum computing will fundamentally change how we think about computers is an understatement. …

@ShadowWizard what's the question?

rene

4:09 PM

@AdamLear we were talking about the end-of-life of SE OpenID and how it would impact the reverse engineered chat API and authentication as they need to be able to authenticate in a new way. Some of the bot authors are worried (me not included).

Shadow Wizard

Yup ^

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

@rene you're too cool to worry?

Get out of town

rene

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ I don't have a bot that is critical. Kenny can rest a few days if I need to reverse engineer the flow again.

M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ

@rene how can you do that to Kenny?!

rene

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ that shows my true nature ...

If a bot like SmokeDetector goes down, that's a bigger problem compared to a chatbot that doesn't really do anything but respond to commands and stuff like that
