@DavidPostill looks promotional enough to be spam.

"Try this, its great!!1!"

@rene e

@ShadowTheKidWizard eh, its how people who don't get the honestly, slightly convoluted product rec rules in SE work would recommend things

Journeyman Geek

07:55

._. While its not spam, its just a link to the VERY SAME LINK the OP mentioned they didn't get

Shadow The Kid Wizard

08:36

@JourneymanGeek so, crap that still better be deleted.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard different approaches tho

comment and educate or delete the post vs delete the post, and the user

Shadow The Kid Wizard

It's like flushing toilets in two different ways. Goal is to make the waste go away. ;)

Journeyman Geek

Spam flags should be for spam

especially for smokey

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek well, yes. And the three fp's pretty much override my single tp.

Journeyman Geek

and you should be holding yourself to the same standard as a direct flag

and you can go and NAA flag instead

Something like what I did here ethereum.stackexchange.com/a/138059/49360

Shadow The Kid Wizard

08:43

@JourneymanGeek I don't think so, after retracting a flag we can't flag again.

Unless it was changed at some point?

Journeyman Geek

Well I mean get it right to start with :D

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek ideally

Journeyman Geek

I vaguely recall you can retract and reflag but its been a while

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek of course you can, you're a mod.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard not everywhere

Shadow The Kid Wizard

08:45

@JourneymanGeek yet

I wonder if staff without diamond can do it.

Since they don't have binding votes to begin with, most likely not, but can't know for sure.

Journeyman Geek

09:03

@ShadowTheKidWizard I don't see any real indication of that changing

@ShadowTheKidWizard I think the non diamond staff generally have normal user powers

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek except for minor stuff like seeing deleted posts/comments. ;)

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard not actually sure about that

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek it's clearly written by Yaaokov.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard what is?

Cause as I understand - originally there wasn't a need to seperate staff with mod powers and not

Shadow The Kid Wizard

A: What privileges and tools do staff members without a diamond have access to?

Here are the special things that a non-mod user with IsEmployee == true can do, and some special things that apply to all employees: On per-site metas, Meta Stack Exchange, and Stack Apps: Can add/remove moderator tags (status-*, featured) tags to questions No content throttling (stopping user ...

> Access to mod privileges:
> See deleted posts
> See comment edits
> See full post timeline
> See deleted spam content

hmm wait

Journeyman Geek

09:07

so essentially 10k?

Shadow The Kid Wizard

There isn't "See deleted comments".

So they can't see the comments once deleted, just their edits. So weird.

Journeyman Geek

> This list changes quite often (and will not be published or maintained).

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek more, even Jon Skeet can't see comment edits.

Journeyman Geek

and tbh most employees who 'need' a diamond to do their jobs probably can just ask for it if they didn't have it already

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Also not sure what "See deleted spam content" means, i.e. how is it different from "See deleted posts".

Maybe it means see redacted revisions?

@JourneymanGeek even balpha took several months until getting diamond, so guess it's terribly complex process to get one.

Journeyman Geek

09:10

@ShadowTheKidWizard I suspect mostly paperwork or the digitial equivilent

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Yup

So it means huge headache, and most people would prefer to just not ask.

Journeyman Geek

tho, if you're not a dev, SRE or CM you don't really need it?

and those ought to automagically get one anyway

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Aaron became pretty active on MSE so I considered asking him about it, still didn't.

@JourneymanGeek should, of course. But they don't.

That said, what should I have for lunch?

Journeyman Geek

Food preferably

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek good idea, thanks! :D

Food machine broken, halp!

Tinkeringbell

09:22

Water and bread is a good start.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Tinkeringbell that's for war

Stash-able stuff. :D

Tinkeringbell

I wouldn't exactly call bread 'stashable'. It goes stale and then moldy pretty quick.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Tinkeringbell not when it's toasted

Lasted for over 5 days when we went to vacation recently. ;)

Kids ate it on the way home.

Tinkeringbell

Yeah, okay. We call that 'beschuit' or 'knäckebröd' :P

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crispbread < That stuff

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Tinkeringbell the first sounds like biscuit which is far fetch for bread, but yeah, it can stick around for long time. :D

Tinkeringbell

09:26

@ShadowTheKidWizard nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beschuit < No english page, use translate :P

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Anyway, I mean plain bread/roll made into a toast with this:

Tinkeringbell

Ah! Tosti's :D

pro-tip: put some cheese, ham and a slice of pineapple between two slices of bread, then put it in that machine :D

Or, if you want to do something healthier, just some slices of chicken/turkey.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

09:41

Yeah, sometimes adding cheese and ketchup, making kind of a pizza for the kids. :D

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard 0_0

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard also anything for war's either rehydratable or in a retort pouch

Journeyman Geek

meta.stackexchange.com/questions/370763/… I'm looking at this and 1) I know exactly what OP is talking about 2) I have no idea where it goes 3) someone who sees my 1 could figure out 2....

@JourneymanGeek I'm not in the army anymore, no pouch. :(

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard lol there's a company that does indian food in pouches

we keep some around for emergency dinners :D

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek lots of missing dots.

@JourneymanGeek duh ;)

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard sure

@ShadowTheKidWizard sometimes even when I'm right :D

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek huh, that's weird. lol

How hardware and software can maximize your flow states

Guest Post on October 24, 2022

Keystrokes per minute is a terrible measure of productivity, but a keyboard can help you focus better to be productive.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Feeds so, bright pink keyboard would make us better developers?

lol the bounty here to "draw attention" is one of the more useless bounties I've seen.

hm, this room has 69k stars and TNB has 96k

what a coincidence

Shadow The Kid Wizard

17:37

@Ginger where you see 69k stars? I see "show all 33901" above the starwall.

ohh the info page, yeah it's a bug.

Info page counter showing deleted messages as well.

Q: Wrong number of stars in chatroom information page

According to the badge on this page, the Trashcan chatroom has 7 stars: but if you count the number of stars under Starred posts, you'll only get to 2. What happened to the remaining 5?
