Or to get to the point, why close questions about a release that just went EOL a couple of days ago? Shouldn't you start, I don't know, deleting the thousands of really old questions?
I mean, the reason I'm asking is that I had a problem with 13.04 recently, but the whole issue was because it was EOL, and if someone else has this problem, they're not going to find the question if it's deleted anytime soon.
For 10.10 or whatever, who cares, but for something that's less than a year old?
> We should close EOL questions because as a community of both Ubuntu users and internet denizens, we should want people to stop using unsupported software.
@JorgeCastro if the answer is mm... outdated like "hey, this stuff now works ootb" we may like to close it and delete it since is not longer relevant, if you are using non-eol
I have a couple of terminals open in Ubuntu (13.04). If I click on the terminal icon in the bar on the left side of the screen I can see all of them on my screen. However, with 1 open terminal I can't access it if I click on it in this setting (it just doen't appear after clicking on it although ...
@JorgeCastro in those case I prefer to add an answer (or edit existing) to the preexisting question with a title specifying the version it is applicable, for that there are canonical Q/A. A question that no matter when is applicable to all versions
@fossfreedom It would be an injustice to the community on my part to contest when I clearly have difficulty making time for even chat, forget the site.
It takes a while to reach a balance.
I used to be the guy who answered everything. As soon as I become a moderator, I wanted to be the guy that kept us at zero flags. In my mind, keeping the site clean was the most important thing and I spent all my time doing it. Is that a real question? Is tha...
Here's the question. It was closed simply because I tagged it as "14.04" (I am using Xubuntu 14.04 which is not released yet). However, the question is not specific to 14.04 in any way, it is specific to Thunar 1.6.3 which has been released for almost a year. The moderator that closed my question...
@hbdgaf nah, I don't think he is following it. (github account active 9 months ago) and he probably hit one of "those" bugs that was feature removed. I see you commented ;)
@Mateo yeah. they pulled almost all of the thing you need to snoop on the data directly. the appsink 'pull-preroll' signal doesn't work either... which is how you should do it...
Right before a release date? I guess that figures. Stress levels for avid users were higher then and I think it's just about the last major site cleanup time-frame too.
Lack of good answers stems from lack of experts stems from crap questions stem from low moderation stems from low amount of high rep users stems from low voter count.
I suppose it could be made a circular logic problem. I'ld look at the longer term trend lines and see if the down-trend started when we started getting loads of ZOMG I hate unity rants and just picked up downward momentum.
I'ld also look for significant changes around release cycles.
I say that because my guess is that the people that were reading and voting tend to get pretty burned when stable drops and you get the surge of bug questions.
Your other problem is that your caps lock appears to be broken. Please edit your question. — hbdgaf50 secs ago
@jokerdino You don't think I was too brutal though? I think some people think we sit around on beaches sipping Mai Tais while deleting swathes of accounts because we want to. It's hard to capture how abrasive it can be at its worse.
@FEichinger I'ld be genuinely surprised if my guess is wrong, but it's possible. We'll see.
Does anyone know of a website that holds usage statistics specifically for linux applications sorted by application type? Percentage using which web browser - percentage using which email client - etc etc
@AvinashRaj why on earth would you want that on meta?
@Mateo that's possible... or crawling launchpad ppas to see what edgers are using. i didn't know if there was a canonical data set for that type of thing
when did they put AU in the installer as a go-to support site instead of a general knowledge base? that would be an interesting line to snap on the grid
@Mateo you have to lop off the first six months to a year of the graph because everything was new. then take in to account pre-release clean up events. see how the reduction in noise makes it easier to vote on good questions? then most questions posted just after release are bugs... so it tanks. i just think the SNR has been growing out of control.
I'm not sure Arqade is a fair comparison since new games coming out all the time don't exactly relate to a release cycle. SO is probably a closer correlation because there are only so many languages with so many logic problems.

I have a folder public_html with several subfolders on Ubuntu 12.04 server.

sup @Mahesh - how are things in the ubuntu settings tool arena? i'm working on something with Mateo. started as something small and ballooned really badly.
@hbdgaf its prettymuch stagnant. I work on it once in a while. i've gotten busy these days, and now its more of bug squashing and finishing the grand rewrite I started a year ago. :P
I had an Ubuntu installation that no longer boots.
I had mate-panel. There were useful bits of code I wrote into the
custom panel applets. where is the information about custom application launchers stored inside of mate panel?
it's essentially a user-mode keylogger for global keypress tracking with a state-table so you can register global hot-keys with callbacks and not worry about what you're stepping on.
or traps. i hate it when things trap keys or my window loses focus and i have to fight with things.
@Mahesh everything but the keystate table is done. it's an adaptation of a piece of code from somewhere else. i have to fix some bugs in the mouse tracking too, but that's a different barrel of monkies.
We are debating the cost of drop fraction vs round, when atleast a sixth of the planet's population has a device within reach that is far more capable than the one used on Apollo mission.

I know that questions taking comments as "thanks" and "me too" should be "protected" from that, right?
Well how do I do that?
