@forestdistrustsStackExchange lol. Reminds me of a troll that kept demanding Smokey delete mentions of him.... or he'd keep trolling

forest distrusts StackExchange

Plot twist: He enjoys when Smokey keeps mentioning him and he's using reverse psychology.

Journeyman Geek

Probably

tho, I do think it would be nice in some ways if SE helped out with SD infra in whatever way they can :D

forest distrusts StackExchange

Privacy is something you must actively create, not something which is given to you.

So if someone really doesn't want Smokey to have their info, they shouldn't write anything on a public website (or at least should use Tor if they just want their identity hidden).

Journeyman Geek

also everything SD collects is public and is no different from say akmiset

only that it logs even less data, + looks at content as well

forest distrusts StackExchange

And it's not like it's using the data for anything particularly nefarious.

Whereas the malicious ads that run on SE are a different story, since they want to track as much as they can in any way they can. Smokey is just not a threat.

Journeyman Geek

12:40 AM

I block ads but I almost feel SE's been less dismissive of complaints of those/there's been less complaints?

forest distrusts StackExchange

Maybe for sexually explicit ads, but afaik they still allow ads with malicious JS.

(Browser fingerprinting, "supercookies" and the like)

Actually the first time that was pointed out, SE staff said they didn't know that and would remove the ads, but then some other staff stepped in and said "actually on further review, we'll keep it here".

(In fairness, I haven't checked to see if that ad is still present, but I assume it is)

@forestdistrustsStackExchange the link returns HTTP 301 to

@MetaAndrewT. I know, but the link it redirects to expires after some time.

Meta Andrew T.

Yes, though is there a way to distinguish which HTTP 301 should be replaced or not?

forest distrusts StackExchange

I think it'd be better just to leave out those replacements. Glorfindel's script is only running on my account to fix SE links (the user ID).

@Wolgwang got HTTP 522 from Cloudflare, maybe proxy site, which should be reported to SE if it's true

9:20 AM

@forestdistrustsStackExchange @Glo - Doing a search on Intel's site for "PCI-SIG SR-IOV Primer" returns search results that claim that the current version is: "Last Updated: 02/13/2020 - Content ID: 321211" (much newer), but the link offered

in the search results (even with "explicitVersion=true&" removed from the URL) returns a version with the text: "321211-002 - Revision 2.5 - January 2011". I can't help but think that there's a newer version. Also, that URL is certainly shorter than what was proposed in that rolled back edit.

Not sure how you could code such URL replacements, but that URL is probably better than what was proposed; though it's certainly possible that there are physical locations where it may not work (that site expects the redirect to go to a different server).

Probably not.

So, random trivia of the day.

I just discovered that technically the sound a parrot does is considered squeaking, while bats "clicks". So apparently a parrot is more similar to a mouse than a bat. And bats must be similar to big mushroom zombies....

Luuklag

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 what is 70% off?

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

Worth to mention I don't see many ads from that company, they pop only in special occasions like November sales.

@Luuklag up to 70% off, from collection of winter clothes and ski tools.

The "up to" is there, in tiny font.

@tripleee gone

Good thing we hardly have any winters left here xD

Shadow Wizard Is Vaccinated V3

Luuklag

@Tinkeringbell RIP

@Tinkeringbell I am unable to find "community leader".

Tinkeringbell

Where did you get that term? It's not generally a 'title' for any role on SE as far as I know

Kevin B

(Probably because it's not a role meant specifically for staff)

a community "leader" isn't a community manager

it can be

Tinkeringbell

It may be part of the 'job description' for e.g. the role of moderator, but those are still wearing the title of 'moderator'

Wolgwang

3:37 PM

I used to though that it means "CM" or "modraters"

Tinkeringbell

Can also be very active community members, that are behaving exemplary

But yeah, it's not a specific group or thing

Kevin B

well, it's like, not all bread is toast, but all toast is bread. CM's and Moderators can both be part of a given community, but they're not necessarily the people or group of people that are leading the community

such users often become moderators, but not always

M.A.R.

I see that my secretiveness in performing my job has worked well, but you need to know the truth. I am the community leader
