@jour @Sonic is there any proof that the AWS sponsorship for SU is canceled?

Meta Andrew T.

Huh, that's news. What I know is that AWS wanted to sponsor SuperUser, Unix.SE, and DBA.SE

See sonics edit there

Journeyman Geek

....... no?

We were informed of the sponsorship ahead of time

Luuklag

Perhaps @Rosie could shed some light here?

Journeyman Geek

no one's mentioned a cancellation

and for god's sake, could we not jump the gun and spread rumours for the sake of being the first bearer of news?

Luuklag

Well I was just trying to find out what happened, seeing the edit Sonic made.

Journeyman Geek

Until its confirmed by someone who knows what's going on, lets not spread stories of 'strong community objections'

I'm rolling back

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog I suggest for this, and things like this, you wait for official confirmation before jumping the gun

Luuklag

10:01 AM

@JourneymanGeek fine by me

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@Luuklag The last paragraph in my most recent post should clarify things

Luuklag

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog this part: I should mention that it's now September 28 and the sponsorship seems to have not taken place - but I'm not sure if it's because of the community objections or for some other reason, or if it's just delayed, so I'm asking this question.)

So honestly you don't know and guessed it was cancelled?

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

I made the edit before the post. Then, I didn't think there was any other reason why the sponsorship would not be in place one day after the announced start date, and didn't think it was because the business deal fell through. (I didn't think that it could just be delayed until later, when I was writing the question.)

Journeyman Geek

you literally edited a post saying it was cancelled

maybe someone forgot to press the switch...

yup

@Catija Got my swag a couple of days ago. Just wanted to say thanks for including me in the drop, I really appreciate it.

@MetaAndrewT. oh.. ok.

11:46 AM

^^ I see above message and try to see Snow profile but it's lead me error . Is this new bug. Any one confirm that.

caird coinheringaahing

Snow has a new account on MSE, but their chat account is linked to their old, deleted one

Shree

May I post this as a bug on meta or it's already posted ? Try to search but my search query is week and don't find any thing.

caird coinheringaahing

Already been posted

But that does seem to be about a specific user, rather than the general case, so I'm not sure

Shree

Thanks. I am going to post it on meta. Lets see what happen.

Shree

12:09 PM

@Shree post on meta. @cairdcoinheringaahing feel free to edit and thanks for reply.

these hacking posts by Donn Moo would probably benefit from more spam flags

and while you are at it, the Japanese casino spam too

and this freelancing.stackexchange.com/a/10273/15296 (reported 2 hours ago)

Tinkeringbell

@tripleee Why they're staying up that long, half of Charcoal taking a day off? :P

tripleee

seems pretty quiet in the room but that's not entirely unusual in this time zone

more likely our hang-arounds don't think it's worth the effort to join the site in question just to be able to flag their spam

and/or these sites are short on active mods

Tinkeringbell

I thought the mods on Parenting weren't very inactive, but I may be wrong ;)

Shree

@tripleee Just like me when flag 50k I leave , I don't want to accuse but situation happen.

tripleee

most of them gone now, thanks ... if you still have juice left, lifehacks.stackexchange.com/a/25104/19760

@tripleee ah, I missed that one. Flagged + deleted

thanks!

@JourneymanGeek Really? I see "SPONSORED BY" but no image ...

@Luuklag I posted an update

A: Can communities object to their sites being sponsored?

We're so sorry for any confusion. The sponsorship has not been canceled and is now live. The team that oversees sponsorships ran into some instrumentation issues with the assets they were sent and they were fixed this morning. This happened late yesterday so I apologize there was no update until ...

No joke—you can buy our copy/paste keyboard right now

Ben Popper on September 28, 2021

This is no joke. The copy and paste keyboard from our April Fool’s joke is real and available for purchase.

@Feeds that's.... the best thing I've seen from SO for long, long, time.

@Rob isn't it just spiderboy?

He's not flying

Rob

5:20 PM

The idea is that the sparklers provide propulsion, and those boots are what was available; notice the use of four pieces of masking tape, which is certain to hold his weight.

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Like this?

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

@Rob oh, this now makes a lot of sense.

@Rob risky, kid might next try to fly from the roof.
