hm

@ElementsinSpace why the angle brackets >_>

Elements in Space

@JourneymanGeek I don't wan't the oneboxes.

Journeyman Geek

with 2 links there's no oneboxen, nor if there's any other text

lemme show you

see?

Elements in Space

Hm. Okay, thanks.

Journeyman Geek

and if there's any text, something like meta.stackexchange.com/questions/391847/… won't onebox either

no waot

there we are :D

Elements in Space

Merely displaying: "meta.stackexchange.com/..." make the links very obscure though; being able to read the question title in the link is kinda useful.

Journeyman Geek

03:34

ah!

lemme mod abuse that better

Elements in Space

I suppose I could manually copy the question titles and use inline links "[...](...)", but well, angle brackets are fine aren't they?

Journeyman Geek

@ElementsinSpace Angle brackets... do not spark joy

Elements in Space

@ElementsinSpace So that is now inline links? with manually copied question titles?

... and without line breaks?

I like my
line breaks.

Journeyman Geek

yup

chat dosen't really do line breaks?

Journeyman Geek

Its on my wishlist

or you could just post multiple posts

Elements in Space

Does "k" stand for "kill"? I always think "kill", when I type it.

Journeyman Geek

04:14

k stands for ok I think

Elements in Space

That's much less violent.

Hey @JourneymanGeek, how are you

Journeyman Geek

about the same

wassup?

Luuklag

Not much, commuting to work on the train right now

Trying to get some work done, but my remote desktop is acting up :/

Journeyman Geek

remote desktop + mobile internet usually is quite painful

Luuklag

05:53

Yup

Especially since my provided iphone is exclusively 5G, which is troublesome in rural areas

Journeyman Geek

......

Luuklag

And then especially when your sitting inside a steel cage like a train....

Journeyman Geek

yup

Luuklag

But Yeah, doing nothing for 2 hours sucks too

Journeyman Geek

quite

I used to nap on the train :D

Luuklag

05:57

This train stops way to frequently to be able to sleep haha

Journeyman Geek

You are not tired enough

Luuklag

I did manage to sleep 5 hours last night

Journeyman Geek

Or far too much solitaire

Haha

it does, with SHIFT+ENTER
You can type multi
lines, but no formatting is allowed, including links.

Q: Links on second line don't show up properly

To reproduce: Start typing a message. Press Shift + Enter to create a new line in the same message. Type a link on this line (e.g. [foo](http://example.com)) Send the message. You will notice that the message appears as [foo](http://example.com) instead of appearing as foo with the text linked....

I actually agree with that design, don't want odd stuff spanning 100 lines.

@Luuklag why can't you sleep while it's stopping? And, hello! Long time no see.... :D

haha yeah right. :D

@SmokeDetector f OP does not appear to be affiliated with the linked site, not spam.

Ryan M

@ShadowTheGPTWizard Are you actually reading the report reasons?

Shadow The GPT Wizard

@RyanM I usually judge per post. That one just does not appear to be spam in any way.

Ryan M

Because I do not understand how you could have reached that conclusion if you did

Journeyman Geek

08:16

@SmokeDetector why

Ryan M

The user is affiliated with the site. As a normal user, you had as evidence: 1) they have posted three posts linking it and nothing else, and 2) that a mod said they confirmed the affiliation.

Shadow The GPT Wizard

@RyanM OK, didn't check the SO account as it had some rep. Will change the feedback.

@SmokeDetector k

and kaboom

Ryan M

@ShadowTheGPTWizard While I appreciate you changing your feedback, when the entire report reason is that they are the same user as the SO account, you really should look at the SO account.

Shadow The GPT Wizard

@RyanM yeah guess better at least have "why".

Ryan M

thanks, that would be very much appreciated; there's very often critical information there, especially in manual reports

ChatGPT VS Physics, round one

@Luuklag That reminded me that I am supposed to get a free A23 from Samsung from a promotion. Problem is that the fine print say they will send it... in the next 180g

6 months.

basically, they will only send it when it will be obsolete.

What a bunch of scammers.

Shadow The GPT Wizard

looking surprised

SPArcheon

@ShadowTheGPTWizard Yep, apparently 6 months is not just Stack default answer but also the time a world renown company has to give you a prize on a marketing campaign they made.

So, they look cool with a campaign that gifts a 400$ device, get tax reductions on a 400$ prize... and then deliver it when it will be devalued by at least 50%.

If this is not scamming the customers it is at least a scam to the treasury department.

Shadow The GPT Wizard

09:45

@SPArcheon weird, here new A23 costs $300

@SPArcheon well, nothing new though. ;(

SPArcheon

@ShadowTheGPTWizard because I had the code wrong. It is actually an A54

Shadow The GPT Wizard

09:59

checking

Yeah $400 indeed.

Elements in Space

My phone is from 2016.

Shadow The GPT Wizard

(which is about what my phone cost, around two years ago)

@ElementsinSpace Samsung too?

Yep, it's a J3.

@Sonic I hope you used some sort of script to update this answer? Looks like it's not possible to get it with SEDE and copy from there.

(so going over all the users to update the names, and looking for more with 500+ flags via the badge page is insane. ;))

Pity there's no bounty for edit...

Shadow The GPT Wizard

yay!

At least I'll edit to clarify it's a bot.

Done.

K that k!

Are you trying to kaboom my kaboom?

Shadow The GPT Wizard

oh no no! "k" isn't for "kaboom" unless it was a kaboom! I'm yaying your yes. :D

Elements in Space

Hmm...

What what is "k" really for?

Shadow The GPT Wizard

@ElementsinSpace short for "ok", and "f" short for "false".

(I think. @rene can confirm.)

Elements in Space

I'm not convinced.

SPArcheon

Shadow The GPT Wizard

@ElementsinSpace sending $100 to convince better

Shadow The GPT Wizard

This change of IP really destroy SE. Pity.

Elements in Space

Is that something to do with the new IP addresses?

Journeyman Geek

eh

Shadow The GPT Wizard

@ElementsinSpace 1000%.

Journeyman Geek

Its a complicated, ongoing project

patience!

Shadow The GPT Wizard

They didn't hear about a simple rule. "If it ain't broken, don't fix it."

IP address of servers isn't logo. It should NOT be changed.

But meh, what do I know.

Journeyman Geek

Chat isn't broken... by that account...

@JourneymanGeek I'm sure it will get broken, sooner or later. 6-8 hours max.

Q: Stack Exchange network sites’ IP addresses may change in the coming weeks

From time to time, Stack Exchange makes improvements to our network infrastructure. One change we're making in the coming weeks will include new IP addresses for most, if not all, of our public Stack Exchange network sites and web properties. Expect the changes to start on or after September 19 ...

Good thing the lower threshold from the strike stayed. Spam removed much faster.

Is it documented anywhere?

Q: If more users could vote, would they engage more? Testing 1 reputation voting on some sites

TL;DR: We are interested in finding 2-3 Stack Exchange sites willing to volunteer to test lowering the reputation required to upvote and downvote to 1 so that we can understand how this change impacts participation on sites.

@rene think the question is why "k" was chosen out of all the letters or the possible abbreviations.

(The technical details are written on the GH page)

Sonic the Anonymous Hedgehog

@ShadowTheGPTWizard Yes, I used the script linked at the top of the answer

Shadow The GPT Wizard

oh. Still nice. :)

rene

@ShadowTheGPTWizard because we used to say @SmokeDetector okay and that went into ok into k

Shadow The GPT Wizard

@ElementsinSpace it's shortcut for "ok" like I thought. :)

@KevinB oh no! Toilets broke?!

rene

Poor toilets

They are broke

Shadow The GPT Wizard

Flower broke them.

Andreas is moving to Codidact

18:03

They clogged. That's why you avoid American toilets.

Elements in Space

If there's going to be "f" for false, why not "t" for true?

Or is "f" for something else.

Andreas is moving to Codidact

T for Toilet

Kevin B

F has a special meanin

Spevacus

You raise a good point in your most recent answer, Kevin. It would be very entertaining to see your reputation double on Stack Overflow if the experiment ran there and actually performed a rep recalc.

@KevinB F for lump.

@ElementsinSpace From my memory, it was chosen because... Well, (k)ill (k)uietly, (k)nuke:

Okay, how about k as an alias for tpu-? (K for KILL (k)uietly or (k)nuke)

In response to "Why not t?" ->

@Undo No reason. Either works for me. But I still want that auto-star. :)

Elements in Space

Aha! I was right ^

@Spevacus Thanks for solving that mystery for me.

Spevacus

No problem :)

Shadow The GPT Wizard

@Spevacus and the "f"?

Elements in Space

f for lump, (you know those long nose things)

Laurel

@ShadowTheGPTWizard It was announced as a temporary change, but nobody knows when or if it will be reverted.

It seems to be working pretty well even with auto flagging

Kevin B

18:54

i'm fairly certain the temporary notion is more of a response to feedback/the strike, rather than actually expecting to need to revert it
