Grammarly is known to cause issues here in chat; it prevents message edit boxes from graying out, so the white text is no longer white-on-black and thus not visible
@SonictheBracketedHedgehog gone. Didn't network-suspend, as I usually do, 'cause I wasn't entirely sure if this was a misguided user, or an actual full on spammer exploiting my benefit of the doubt :P
@MetaAndrewT. Heh. Might actually not be too bad in case of programming questions: Just delete them every 7 years because the information is likely to be outdated :P
If the problem is still relevant, another programmer will ask again ;)
That's... how they sell that kind of stuff. 'No, no, see, the tiger is totally relaxed' when they are actually medicated to make them docile enough for tourist pictures :/
Sometimes people say 'look, happy animal' when the behaviour we interpret as happy is actually frustration or something too.
But now I guess I'm only making your mood worse XD
real talk, a tiger is a wild animal and most of the time when these wild animals are handled for show they're sedated or declawed, both of which is pretty barbaric
or that it even is a q/a site. That is a design nightmare. Natural looking wanders across 5 paid products and the Q/A is tucked away somewhere in a corner
between this and the tracking beacon privacy setting ignoring google ads on SO, and the flat out malvertising on SE, you have to treat SE like any other internet forum now
@Magisch That... actually may be a benefit. They might not take the time to figure that out and ask their low quality homework dump question, people without an account might start using Google to enter StackOverflow, finding that an answer to their question already exists....
@Aibobot yeah... ideally, they would ask for user feedback before such a big change... but in this case the only replies would have been "It's awful don't do that!!11!!" so guess it's better to just throw the change and hope for the best.
New development in the Austin area. They had to buy up old houses along that block to build a new high-rise, but one of the property owners refused to move out.
(also testing if uploading in chat bypasses the 2 MB limit)
It kinda seems like the rest of the network is just using Stack Overflow as a work horse and only paying attention to everything else. It is truly disheartening.
I ardently stand up for the SE team at MSO, but lately, it is getting harder and harder to.
I am fairly sure that you were referring to the same line of conversation at MSE which continuously points out that SO isn't SE, and so it should have the same level of input.
