@NathanOsman I was thinking about trying Arch, I love their documentation.

Nathan Osman

Yes, their documentation is the best of any distro I've seen.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@NathanOsman Arch seems to almost always come up on top of google searches for problems.

Seth

@JohnStossel choosing between the lesser of 2 evils. On Election Day, we will elect either CATWOMAN OR THE JOKER. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

that is scarily fitting.

Kaz Wolfe

so...

Is marmite good or bad?

Nathan Osman

"Which socket should I put the knife in? The left or the right one..."

@Seth ---^

Seth

3:02 AM

heh, yup.

Kaz Wolfe

@NathanOsman either, provided the kid isn't grounded to anything

Seth

@KazWolfe BuzzFeed says bad.

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe IT'S A PUN.

YOU SPOILED A PUN.

Kaz Wolfe

otherwise, stick it in the neutral socket.

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe PUN SPOILER.

Kaz Wolfe

3:03 AM

i've been called far worse :P

Nathan Osman

Me too :P

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Seth you had the chance to vote black to absolve guilt and you ended up with #blacklivesmatter, now you get to vote for lesser of two evils :(

Nathan Osman

If this was a recently installed outlet in a North-American house, it would have three prongs: hot, neutral, and ground.

Seth

But you don't. @GovGaryJohnson is right there on the ballot. Lets not deceive ourselves. #VoteFreedom https://twitter.com/JohnStossel/status/785308672754716675

so you put the knife in the bigger hole

Nathan Osman

3:05 AM

@Seth ...and if that isn't enough, you can write anybody's name in. And pretty much whoever you write in will be better :P

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@NathanOsman I had the shocking experience learning that white and ground served the same purpose.

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe Knife won't fit in the grounding plug, so yeah, good point.

Kaz Wolfe

write in "Kaz Wolfe" and get the first fictional person ever!

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Seth you are the only one here voting libertarian.

Seth

Am I the only one here voting Libertarian?

Nathan Osman

3:06 AM

@KazWolfe Except that I'm sure of the 7 billion people on Earth, somebody has that name.

@Seth I'm not voting :D

Kaz Wolfe

@NathanOsman feh

Seth

@NathanOsman The only winning move is not to play.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Seth it's easier controlling the votes than voting... It might be raining and you have to bring your umbrella that day :)

Nathan Osman

@Seth I'm Canadian!

Do they let citizens of other countries vote now? (Please don't say yes.)

Seth

@NathanOsman I know :P

You ruined a War Games quote -.-

Nathan Osman

3:07 AM

@Seth I know :D

You can call me a PUN SPOILER too.

Seth

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Oh I don't doubt the votes are controlled. But I refuse to let them lower me to their level by picking between HRC or Trump.

Kaz Wolfe

@NathanOsman no

we'll call you worse

Nathan Osman

O_o

Serg

Nuke this please : askubuntu.com/a/835057/295286

Nathan Osman

3:08 AM

Pew pew...

Who starred that!?!

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@NathanOsman it's funny how every year republicans say if democrat wins the are moving to Canada and dems say if reps win they are moving to Canada.

Nathan Osman

Yeah, and nobody moves to Canada :D

Serg

It's exact copy of htorque's answer from linked post

already flagged for mod attention

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Seth Give your head a shake Gary will never win. Throw your vote away and vote for him if you want tho....

Seth

it's not exact.

Kaz Wolfe

3:09 AM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix you don't throw your vote away in america

Nathan Osman

@WinEunuuchs2Unix IMHO, voting for the two clowns in front is the real throwing your vote away.

Serg

@Seth not exact, he added one line but copied the rest

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@KazWolfe It's strategic voting, you have two choices Trump or Clinton, vote for the one you hate the least.

Kaz Wolfe

which is why i'm voting for the dog.

Serg

@Seth Abishek also posted this askubuntu.com/a/834927/295286 on the linked question, check the deleted answers here: askubuntu.com/questions/73573/…

He's cross posting answers

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:11 AM

@KazWolfe traitor!!! you should vote for the wolf.

Kaz Wolfe

@WinEunuuchs2Unix The dog is a wolf.

Nathan Osman

@WinEunuuchs2Unix That is terrible logic.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@KazWolfe It's a dog eat wolf world... RUN! RUN! RUN!

Kaz Wolfe

that makes no sense

Seth

@WinEunuuchs2Unix That's exactly the lie that lets them control you.

But didn't you just say the votes are rigged anyway?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:13 AM

@KazWolfe It was a joke, it's not supposed to make sense.

Nathan Osman

^--- relevant

Seth

There we go. Couldn't find that in a none webp format.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Seth I'm with Nathan I can't vote, I can tell you voting for Gary was just as useless as voting for Ron Paul (no matter how much I respect the man).

Nathan Osman

@Seth Gimp plugin to the rescue :D

Seth

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Which is just as useless as voting at all ;)

but at least I will still have my honor and self respect.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:14 AM

No @Seth my point is you need to vote out evil Hillary Clinton bribed by International Salifist Extremists by voting Trump in.

Kaz Wolfe

while voting libertarian won't impact this election, the numbers and the circumstances will shift outlooks of the population. Especially independents.

Seth

but again, the more people that believe the lie that voting 3rd party is "throwing your vote away" the more power the 2 parties keep.

Change doesn't happen overnight.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix And thus vote America out? I'll pass.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I would have preferred Sanders. I hope Hillary dies and he gets the DNC nomination.

Seth

hahahahaha

No to Hillary but lets get the socialist in.

Kaz Wolfe

Or we prevent a mentally unstable giant oompa-loompa from gaining control over the most powerful country.

Nathan Osman

3:15 AM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix You don't vote people out.

You vote them in.

Seth

@NathanOsman this

@KazWolfe ding ding ding

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe Oompa loompa wouldn't even be so bad...

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@NathanOsman I feel voted out... works for me1

Seth

I'm not alone in my choice, either.

Kaz Wolfe

now we could have a bloody rebellion

which may be interesting

Nathan Osman

3:16 AM

Throw the tea overboard.

Seth

whelp I need to do some last minute homework before tomorrow. 100 level IT classes are lame.

Nathan Osman

Yeah, we could do that again.

Kaz Wolfe

but that's reserved for when Trump or Hillary begin WWIII.

Nathan Osman

Or, I should say, you Americans.

Serg

Guys , I found the candidate we all can agree on

Nathan Osman

3:17 AM

@Serg Oh?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@KazWolfe I prefer bloodless coups.

Seth

hey we'll take all the Canadians we can get @NathanOsman ;p

Kaz Wolfe

@Serg READ THE PSA

Nathan Osman

@Serg SHUT UP AND TAKE MY STARS!

@KazWolfe Temporarily excused.

Seth

O_o

Nathan Osman

When Seth steps around a PSA, you know it's legit.

Kaz Wolfe

when Thomas pins a PSA, you know it's legit.

Seth

Guess I should scold myself for language. Watch your language Seth.

yessir.

Nathan Osman

Obligatory "shame!" for Seth.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:18 AM

WOW I almost drank a case of beer today.... Good thing tomorrow is Thanksgiving and all I have to do is cook a Turkey and buy some 2" spiral nails.

Kaz Wolfe

obligatory "shame!" for Nathan Osman for shaming a site mod

Seth

wait, so do I get shamed for shaming a site mod too?

Double shame. There should be a badge for that.

Kaz Wolfe

no because you are a site mod

site mods can do whatever they want

Seth

I would have preferred the badge.

Serg

@KazWolfe the PSA is not reasonable, at least IMHO. The topic of bacon doesn't insult anyone, there's even veterinarian bacon

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:19 AM

I'm lost, who's the mod?

Kaz Wolfe

rip the poor starboard

Seth

Nathan's a mod.

I'm just an iguana.

Kaz Wolfe

Seth is a site mod.

Serg

@Seth iguana with mod powers

Kaz Wolfe

Thereby, he has dominion over Heaven and Earth.

Nathan Osman

3:20 AM

I'm not a site mod. I'm just a chat mod.

@NathanOsman not using a libre format.... shame.

Our Lord and Savior RMS frowns upon thee.

Seth

Well guys it's been fun; we'll have to do it again real soon. I'm off to ~~see the wizard~~ do math.

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe You... you... communist!!11!

@Seth Like those guys who saw a parked SUV with "4x4" on a decal and wrote "=16" next to it?

Serg

Speaking of homework . . . what homework do I have ?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

night @Seth

Seth

@NathanOsman The very same.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:22 AM

@Serg You haven't answered many questions in the last fortnight.... that's your homework.

Kaz Wolfe

there is something on the star board over 1 hour old! we need to fix this!

Nathan Osman

Before we star anything, we need to say things worth starring.

/facepalm

Kaz Wolfe

nonononono

it's !!/facepalm here

Serg

@WinEunuuchs2Unix and there's gonna be even more unanswered ones from me. I spend way too much time here

So yeah, i need to retire from AU for a while

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Um at the risk of sounding naive and drinking too much port... what is "star board"?

Kaz Wolfe

3:24 AM

the thing on the right that has gone to hell.

Seth

@NathanOsman btw, if I can get my go brushed up I'm gonna try to add a feature that lets people add a tweet to the queue manually.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Serg You aren't alone. Anwar said last night he's stopped answering questions.

Nathan Osman

Already there.

Seth

oh?

I must have missed it somewhere.

Nathan Osman

Click the "Twitter" link in the menu and scroll down.

Serg

3:25 AM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix see the icons of all the users in chat to your right? look down . . .there's bunch of starred / pinned posts

Nathan Osman

@Seth Oh hang on.

Seth

@NathanOsman I could have sworn that wasn't there last week.

Nathan Osman

That doesn't add it to the queue.

That just blasts it out right away.

Seth

True. But it's close.

Kaz Wolfe

@Seth don't swear.

Seth

3:25 AM

Maybe I'll make a PR with a checkbox that lets you add it to the queue instead?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I'm only a 2K you guys must see "stars" I don't see :)

Seth

@KazWolfe yes Dad.

@WinEunuuchs2Unix only when we get hit on the head.

Nathan Osman

@Seth Hmm... it would be a bit more work than that though since it needs all of the metadata to enter the queue.

(Link to message, author, etc.)

Seth

oh. true.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Seth Kaz prefers to be called Him/He/His or It.... not Dad or She.

Seth

3:26 AM

can it scrape the data if I just provide it a link?

Kaz Wolfe

@WinEunuuchs2Unix that was a joke.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Kaz so was that :p

Nathan Osman

@Seth Not yet, but feel free to open an issue.

Seth

In my eons of free time. Sure :D

I really need a todo.txt.

Nathan Osman

Mine too :D

Seth

3:27 AM

Ok, really leaving this time.

Kaz Wolfe

(though, i am male (outside of a DND campaign or two because GM said "rule 63"))

Nathan Osman

@Seth *cough* Trello *cough*

Serg

so, who wants to take my position as bash/python scripter and Jacob's competition ?

Nathan Osman

@Serg Go would make a formidable alternative... >:)

The programs are compiled, sure, but the compiler in Go is stupid fast.

Kaz Wolfe

(those R63'd campaigns were fun, actually)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:28 AM

@Seth OK goodnight for real this time.

Serg

@NathanOsman not installed by default though :/ neither is vala :\

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Serg you are the python champion....irreplaceable!

Nathan Osman

@Serg No, but the programs are self-contained so I could just link to an executable to download.

Serg

@NathanOsman $_$

Nathan Osman

Yes, I know that's bad but anyone with a sense of security would just compile it themselves.

Kaz Wolfe

3:30 AM

hmmm.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@NathanOsman compiling source code you can't fathom isn't more secure.

Serg

that ^

Kaz Wolfe

actually, as the person in this chat with no authority whatsoever, I declare that on October 13, every member of this chat must assume the visage of the opposite gender. This will go for the entire day, starting at midnight, October 13, UTC.

(because i hate all of you)

Serg

but since it's open source , there's more eyes on the source code, so you could ask someone who can read it @WinEunuuchs2Unix

Nathan Osman

You misunderstood - the people who will understand it will be able to inspect the source code and the rest (majority) won't be any worse off just running the executable.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:31 AM

@KazWolfe You see that is why I called you a she.

Kaz Wolfe

@WinEunuuchs2Unix not oct 13.

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe Two words. absolutely not.

Kaz Wolfe

@NathanOsman i still hate all of you :D

Nathan Osman

Fine, besides, Oli day is coming up soon.

Kaz Wolfe

which is...?

Nathan Osman

3:32 AM

Nov. 11 if memory serves me right.

Serg

@KazWolfe the hate is mutual :D ( kidding , I like your cynical persona )

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@KazWolfe I don't understand Oct 13. But I know Yakety Yak don't come back is coming out Oct 14.

Kaz Wolfe

which is...?

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe What are you asking about?

Kaz Wolfe

@WinEunuuchs2Unix because i have thursday off.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:33 AM

Yakety Yak=Ubuntu 16.10

Kaz Wolfe

and i want to see this chat go to hell.

@NathanOsman what is oli day

Serg

I am no chat mod, but I hereby declare . . . . nothing. Just chill and chat , everybody , as usual

Nathan Osman

@KazWolfe The anniversary of the day Oli became an Ubuntu member.

Kaz Wolfe

so we all ping spam him or something?

Nathan Osman

No, we adopt his gravatar for the day.

Don't you remember?

no i don't.

How do you guys (or gals (or gender neutral wolves)) post pictures?

Serg

lovely

@WinEunuuchs2Unix are you on android ?

what are you using, in general ?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 but I have a smartphone with marshmallow

Serg

@WinEunuuchs2Unix so, if you are on desktop browser, you can use this thingy

WinEunuuchs2Unix

during the day at work I have to use my smartphone.

Serg

this thingy ^

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:43 AM

@Serg Nice thingy, but how do you invoke a "thingy"?

Serg

there's no way to upload from smartphone , but if you request the desktop version of the site, you can use that same button

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Serg I'm not at work now, It's Saturday night 9"44 pm.

Serg

Either chrome and firefox on android have option to request desktop site

, so that's how i do it

WinEunuuchs2Unix

oops it's Sunday

@Serg I'm not at work, I'm on Ubuntu 16.04

Serg

@WinEunuuchs2Unix so how come you don't see the thingy ? Tried to zoom out ?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:46 AM

@Serg A) I'm visually impaired B) 9 beers.

Serg

You can also post a link directly into chat. As long as the URL ends in any extension of a picture, like jpeg or png, then it will be read and displayed , and people will see it

Except for some people ( cough cough, panda)

Kaz Wolfe

who it doesn't even help

i can upload a malware image payload to i stack imgur

WinEunuuchs2Unix

google.ca/…

Serg

@KazWolfe yup, exactly

Kaz Wolfe

unless it's to prevent that IP trace i did earlier

but still. i can get his IP one of a few hundred other ways

WinEunuuchs2Unix

3:50 AM

@Serg I tried to post picture of Homer Simpson drinking Duff Beer but it didn't work :(\

Serg

@WinEunuuchs2Unix you posted url from google images. You wanted to click on "View Image" button and then copy its url , which is this : i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/07/12/03/…

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Haha @Serge ya that's what I meant. I'm gooey challenged (called GUI these days).

Owen Hines

4:20 AM

Is there any way I can format in a post to tell it to ignore anything that would otherwise be italics or bold etc. ?

Like raw text without formatting it automatically

Serg

@OwenHines um . . . you select everything and mark as code , but that will be high lighted in grey

Owen Hines

Yeah, I figured

I was just wondering if there was less of a "work-around" answer

How are people highlighting in yellow with left side bar in posts?

@WinEunuuchs2Unix example please ?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Serg can't remember off the top of my head. BTW your movie is in Japanese and I switched to a different one.

Serg

4:26 AM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix it's in Chinese, and only first few minutes, because the events start in China. The rest is in English

Owen Hines

@WinEunuuchs2Unix nice "ME" bookmark folder

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Serg Damn I wished I knew that before I nuked the movie and switched to another.

Serg

@WinEunuuchs2Unix well, that'll be for next time , enjoy whatever you're watching right now :)

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@OwenHines sorry "ME"????

I see, carry on . . . I wanted to help you decide my fate tomorrow

Kaz Wolfe

i am now

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@OwenHines Oh that "ME" it stands for "Mass Effect" a kids game I played last year :(]

Serg

4:33 AM

@KazWolfe pick a number, 1 - 4

Owen Hines

Oh, okay lol

Kaz Wolfe

@Serg π

Serg

Your choice is 3.14 ?

Kaz Wolfe

yes

Serg

return int(3.14) , good job thank you

  1 go to morning lecture
  2 stay home and go for 1:30 lecture
  3 go to school but go to lab
  4 something else

so I'll go to lab and try to make sense of Fourier coefficients as well as FM and AM shiz

WinEunuuchs2Unix

4:36 AM

@OwenHines Yes "ME" / Mass Effect is about an alternate Religion where you can fly across stars instead of walking on water and you can shoot aliens instead of battling the devil.

Serg

I might use the time to actually be productive

Owen Hines

huh cool

Kaz Wolfe

option 5: dont go to school

Owen Hines

Aww yeah, I got another one right

Serg

@KazWolfe I don't wanna miss second and third lectures

Owen Hines

4:36 AM

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Serg I didn't know you were a student :p

Serg

Second because lab, third because we've exam coming up

@WinEunuuchs2Unix yup, college student, electrical engineering

Owen Hines

@Serg eww adult responsibilities

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Oh I was just joking @Serg I thought you meant you were really a prof. I wanted to go to UofA for electrical engineering but I didn't have enough money so I went to NAIT instead for computerized accounting.

Owen Hines

Compared to life as a teenager, how's the adult life?

In general

Serg

4:44 AM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix yeah, sometimes i think i made a mistake. Engineering is expensive and doesn't always come easily to me

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@OwenHines Don't know missed my teenage years and adult life was spent being persecuted.

Serg

@OwenHines adult life is the same - instead of school you go to work. But to get work you gotta go to school ( college or university ) because diplomas and certificates.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@Serg You have great answers in AskUbuntu I'm sure you'll do well in EE!

Owen Hines

yeah, and you gotta pay for stuff

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Persecuted?

Serg

@OwenHines that too. Big advice - study Linux and networking well enough to get Network+ and Linux+ certification early. Community College is also cheaper than regular university

WinEunuuchs2Unix

4:46 AM

Persecuted = not well liked and spending too much time in jail for being politically incorrect.

Owen Hines

oh geez

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Where do you live? Didn't think that happened...

Serg

Get certification of sorts , then get some good IT job and continue educating yourself, whether through college or other means

I failed in that regard

Owen Hines

@Serg, I haven't taken any classes on computers yet, but I plan to whenever they're available. I'm self-taught so far for the last 4 years.

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@OwenHines Canada

Owen Hines

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Really? So you can be arrested/charged for not having a certain ideal?

WinEunuuchs2Unix

4:48 AM

@OwenHines You are doing a great job at being self-taught... businesses like to hire self-starters.

@OwenHines In every country you can be arrested if you go against the religion.

Owen Hines

Oh. Well.. the more you know

@WinEunuuchs2Unix, yeah in 9th grade they don't typically have any high-level computer classes.

Anything now is mostly stuff that I've already learned

For example, intro to basic programming concepts and logic-flow which I got down like 3 years ago

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@OwenHines In 9th grade your grammar is better than most of the people I work with over 20 years old.

Owen Hines

ooh ez spam flag

@WinEunuuchs2Unix Thank you :)

Serg

@OwenHines That's good. Don't worry about knowing exactly what you want right now. It takes time, i know that. Just ensure that you have tradeable skills first. Linux, Python, networking, Java - these are tradeable. Attach a certification to it , and companies will hire you. Web Design is good, but there's tons of web designers out there

Owen Hines

4:52 AM

@Serg, yeah I personally am not that interested in web design. I like more software and networking-based things. I really like C++ and java

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Geez @Serge Owen is in 9th grade... we should be telling him how annoying his edits on grammar correct is instead... and tell him how to hit on hot girls in his class.

Owen Hines

lol

@WinEunuuchs2Unix It's always baffled me on how people's grammar can be so awful

Welcome back @Zanna

WinEunuuchs2Unix

@OwenHines yeah they would spell it aweful even.

Owen Hines

cringes

WinEunuuchs2Unix

What time is it there @OwenHines don't you have grade 9 classes tomorrow? Or are you in Canada where it is Thanksgiving holiday?

Owen Hines

4:55 AM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix It's 11:55 PM

@WinEunuuchs2Unix I do have class tomorrow but eh

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Central Standard Time.

Owen Hines

I get by during class. It's mostly really easy.

Besides, coming off of a weekend sleep schedule, I got up really late today so I'm not tired.

Serg

C++ and Java ? Well, if you keep working on these two, maybe even get Java certification from Oracle, then companies will hire you 99% sure

WinEunuuchs2Unix

Yeah Junior High was so easy (you might call it Middle School in USA) I don't remember it.

Owen Hines

9th grade is high school for me

6th-8th is middle school

I'm a big boy now

WinEunuuchs2Unix

4:57 AM

In grade 9 we were all getting high, probably why I don't remember it :(

Owen Hines
