@Catija it's regarding if there's a hardcoded URL to MSE from any question ban warning, instead of using relative per-site URL

Ryan M

@MetaAndrewT. None of those users are currently Q-banned on SO. VLN was last Q-banned in 2020; the others have never been.

@RyanM Would you mean checking burnination HQ on SO for abit? tysm!

Meta Andrew T.

Hmm, if this answer is still true, then there are few sources for redirection to MSE?

A: How can we reduce off-topic questions on meta?

Let's do a quick sanity-check here: MSO gets about 14 off-topic questions a day. Even if you lump questions that are deleted without being closed into this, that number barely averages 20 per day. In the past two days, 33 users have posted off-topic questions here. Of those, 5 visited MSO di...

no... that was when MSE was still MSO...

Ryan M

@DialFrost err, why?

DialFrost

@RyanM Have some burnination requests that I'm not very sure of that I require help with :P

Ryan M

Why am I specifically being summoned there?

DialFrost

Cuz no one else is there :(, you're pretty much the online person I can think of right now unfortunately, VLAZ is offline too

Unless you don't want to be disturbed :3

Ryan M

6:20 AM

You could ask the folks in SOCVR for advice on if tags should or shouldn't be burninated

DialFrost

SOCVR?

sorry I've never been on SO chat so I don't know where or what that is

Oh wait nvm

Ryan M

Oh, for some reason I assumed you were in there already. chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/41570/so-close-vote-reviewers

@BrianNickel Hey there! I know it's a longshot and lots to ask, but any chance you can give a hand here? Your app is was awesome, so maybe there's some magic trick we can draw to help @Laurel with the drafts. ;)

Meta Andrew T.

Considering that drafts is iOS-only feature, I'm not sure if there's any way to export local data

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@MetaAndrewT. not export, but at least guide how to see it, copy, etc.

Meta Andrew T.

well, if it's about how to see/access and copy, I believe it can be done from the app without having to worry

Well, i guess that's one of the features left, after all network-related features are shut down: Drafts for Stack Exchange™

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek demanding is fine though.

Or ordering them around.

Journeyman Geek

8:00 AM

THERE WILL BE A PRICE

WHich is occationally cookies (choco chip, not oatmeal and raisin)

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek Will there though?

Journeyman Geek

There's always a price

Tinkeringbell

Ah, like that. Sure. So just a matter of what you want to pay for it :P

Living without the perks of ordering demons around comes with a price too :P

Journeyman Geek

well saves on air freshner

heh

speaking of infernal things

I was looking up en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2b2t via meta.stackexchange.com/questions/383062/…

Shadow The Kid Wizard

8:36 AM

@JourneymanGeek ahh, now the OP avatar makes more sense.

Won't call it a troll, but they're sure a "hater".

As long as they just hate each other on their own small server/world, it's fine.

Tinkeringbell

@JourneymanGeek minecraft itself is infernal to me anyways XD

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard i mean the description of the server sounds terrible

@Tinkeringbell ehh

maybe one of them greek hells

rolling boulders for all eternity and dying lots

Tinkeringbell

XD

I tried to play it with my brothers once. Just for fun. Even with one them as some sort of bodyguard on an easy difficulty level, I kept failing fantastically.

I'm just not made for it.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek toxic, but some people like exactly those things, see also Parler.

@Tinkeringbell lol my 9.5 years old son doing it in Roblox with his 5.5 years old sister, when she falls anyway he starts yelling at her, then we take the phone from both. :D

SPArcheon

@Tinkeringbell Oh, so finally we discover the parrot secret identity? :P

jokes aside, your description reminded me of this. Did you brother also manage to lose all his stuff because he felt in the lava while trying to save you?

Tinkeringbell

8:51 AM

@SPArcheon No need for conspiracy theories, nothing secret here.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@Tinkeringbell except the identity of your socks! :D

Oh wait, the game that drives my son crazy isn't Roblox, it's Stumble Guys.

So when he's mad at the game, and after we give him the phone back, he's usually watching such vids to calm down:

TOP 50 FUNNIEST FAILS IN STUMBLE GUYS

SPArcheon

@ShadowTheKidWizard Fall Guy clone?

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@SPArcheon no idea, I'm not familiar with many kids games.

What's Fall Guy?

oh, saw now, and yes looks like mobile app clone for that game.

He already asked for an XBox for his 10th birthday, if we'll give him one most likely Fall Guy will be one of his first game requests. :D

SPArcheon

yep, same exact game basically....

Fall Guys - Gameplay Trailer | PS4

►

Stumble Guys Steam Launch Trailer

►

both are basically videogame version of the good old Wipe Out show (and Takeshi Castle before that)

Shadow The Kid Wizard

> While similar to Fall Guys, the key difference is that Stumble Guys has always been free-to-play and is available for PC and mobile devices. While Fall Guys remains popular, many have taken a liking to Stumble Guys -- to the point the clone could surpass the original.

Could be visibility related

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@SPArcheon he won't stop at 1k

@Mithical bug?

Martin

10:01 AM

I am not sure whether this wouldn't be more suitable on Meta Stack Exchange rather than on per-site-meta (in this case MathOverflow Meta). In any case, I suppose that some users who might be able to answer the OP question - or at least have some advice where to look - probably visit this room: Can Google and Cloudfare find my SE password?

Journeyman Geek

10:20 AM

@Martin topically I think so

Needs polish tho

Martin

Thanks for the response! I see that there is already one comment that came most likely from here.

Luuklag

It might even be a propper SO question, or perhaps security.SE is even better fitted.

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek we have tag search for this, can't see reason for another layer.

Journeyman Geek

oh for my own stuff

(since I seem to be digging up old posts a lot today)

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek OK, and? Here is the list of all your uncompleted feature requests, with simple tag search.

Journeyman Geek

.... OH

ok, that might work

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek yup, sometimes we miss the most simple solution to things. ;)

@JourneymanGeek what do you mean? What about that old question of yours?

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard I posted that when the mobile app was new

Shadow The Kid Wizard

but I need my mod tools so... responsive mobile ends up being what I use

SPArcheon

@ShadowTheKidWizard that is granted, but I hoped you had some spending limit on the credit card :P

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@SPArcheon no worry, I don't plan to ever give my kids access to my credit cards.

When they'll work and have their own bank account and credit cards, they can spend as much as they want, good way to learn how quickly you can have your card blocked. :P

So far the biggest expense they made is airpods, for $100

Interesting, lots of new visitors today.

polishing the floor

@JourneymanGeek what we need is some big open source project, and a sponsor, if we want mobile app that would be decent enough to be worth using.

One person can't possibly ever do such a thing.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowTheKidWizard and/or some degree of company support

but I honestly have no actual what I can get away with asking for realistically :D

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Yeah...

Luuklag

@Feeds can we subscribe to be mailed floppy disks with the datadump?

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@SPArcheon I'll suggest it to them. :D

SPArcheon

Luuklag

@JourneymanGeek since you commented on the post am I out of line suggesting it as a dupe of the SEDE tutorial?

Journeyman Geek

@Luuklag I'm not really convinced - specific requests are a thing

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek lol

@JourneymanGeek what about it?

Journeyman Geek

which still feels wierd

@ShadowTheKidWizard oh, is it a dupe, what OP's trying to do etc

Shadow The Kid Wizard

Oh, "mera" is girl name in your place? I'm not sure, and even so, chances are it's not.

Let's check..

> From the fictional kingdom of Xebel in DC Comics, Mera is a girl’s name given to an underwater queen and warrior. Besides this superhero association, Mera is a variant of the Hebrew and Arabic name Amira. Meaning “commander” or “princess,” baby can be a born ruler. Whether baby is living on land or at sea, baby Mera can be inspired to be a strong leader each and every day.

Huh! lol

Still, I was told to not assume genders on SE, though I'm still doing it sometimes. ;(

Journeyman Geek

1:26 PM

@ShadowTheKidWizard I should do better than assume someone's gender tho

Shadow The Kid Wizard

@JourneymanGeek you can safely assume mine. :P

Anyway, the OP asks for someone to write a very specific SEDE query for them. Not sure if on topic, but meh, they have the right to try. :)

Journeyman Geek

or is it a dupe

sometimes I'll defer to the wisdom of the community ;)

Luuklag

Also found a related query by @rene, so someone could easily adapt that to filter by tags

Shadow The Kid Wizard

"someone". hmm.

glaring at @M.A.R.

@youreawizardcarrie hello, I almost didn't notice you here.
