@Sterno Yeah, there's no one that really uses the meta either. Basically just you, me, mooseman,a nd sometimes gilles.
 
And only when responding to us.
 
The follow-up question should have been why no one calls the police on him, because apparently Dora's grandmother is completely aware of who Swiper is.
 
my chat right noq
i cant see what im typing or what anyone elsew is saying
 
makes it difficult for us to help you, that
 
1:01 PM
@TheAce I'd recommend something to check but you can't see what I'm saying anyway so I feel like this will be fruitless

Q: Does the GBA cartridge batteries ran dry after time like GBC/GB games?

BeavoruDoes the GBA cartridge batteries ran dry after time like GBC/GB games? I got ton of legit games, the only save files i would miss are the ones from RPG games, and maybe some platformers, would this happen after time?

Q: Is there any shorcut for the ''PS Button'' on Ps3, using a Ps1/Ps2 Controller?

BeavoruI got the first three Sony consoles (and the PSP too) the thing is, i like to use my old PS1 controller (the analog one) on my Ps2 and Ps3, everything works fine, but the only thing i'm missing, at least on the Ps3, is the PS button on the middle, i don't have problems since i can press the butto...

 
We'll have to morse code with stars.
 
@TimStone i can see when im replied too thru notifactions so try it
 
@TimStone Aww, doesn't work, there's a time-limit thing on star-blinking
 
@TheAce First step in these cases is usually to disable DirectWrite in chrome://flags
 
1:04 PM
@Lazers2.0 Would surprise me if they don't
 
I haven't had any font issues in a while though so I'm not sure what it might be.
 
@TimStone restarted chrome
all good now
 
@TimStone You can make any plot question on topic by turning it from speculation to legitimate query with the words "Is there a canon reason for..."!
 
Ah, even better.
@Sterno \o/
 
@Sterno Is there a canon reason for that?
 
1:06 PM
@originaluser Yes. @Wipqozn is to blame.
 
I've heard that @Wipqozn is the worst.
 
@Sterno I wonder if there's Dora canon that links Swiper to @Wipqozn. That would make sense.
 
All I know is I was real disappointed when I realized his name wasn't "Wiz q pon"
 
@originaluser ive always read it like that
 
@fredley It shouldn't be too hard to test this
 
1:08 PM
so much so i cant not now
 
Have you tried it yourself?
 
@PrivatePansy I think the real issue is finding enough cigarettes and alcohol to adequately test it
 
Take screenshot, use ruler to measure length of health/salt bar after use

Q: Does the DS cartridge batteries ran dry?

BeavoruDoes the DS cartridge batteries (does those games has batteries?) ran dry after time like GBA/GBC/GB games? It is true they will last at least more than 100 years or something?

 
in before @Lazers but this next question is getting a little avant garde
Crap.
And I was wrong anyway
 
1:12 PM
@Lazers2.0 100 years? I need such batteries.
 
Well there aren't any batteries in them so =p
Not 100% sure, we'll see I suppose
 
It could just be someone who really needs Diamonds and picked the wrong SE in desperation
 
fuck people
i just remembered "lumbersexual" is a thing
3
 
I refuse to believe you.
 
@originaluser Someone on tumblr would like to have a word with you.
 
1:20 PM
@originaluser nick offermen is on Q talking about it and how it's stupid
 
Tumblr can go suck an egg.
 
@originaluser shh, they'll hear you
 
@originaluser That's "eggsexual", right?
 
@Rapitor preps hardhat for the onslaught
 
We should activate the turrets and build barricades.
 
1:22 PM
Naah, trust in the LAZERS
kicks lazer emitters... We may, uuh, be screwed
 
@5pike We'll set up a turret defense map
 
@originaluser Yeah. I tried looking in the chapter select but I can't remember which one has a starting point closest to the toilet and bars needed for this
 
@KevinvanderVelden lazersexual
oh @Yuuki how's the flooding over there? I hear that a lot of dams have started bursting too now
 
@Rapitor Rain yesterday did not help things, but it's actually not as bad as it was on Monday/Tuesday.
There were reports of dams possibly bursting, but I don't think they actually did.
That might be the San Antonio/Austin area.
 
@Rapitor @GnomeSlice youtube.com/watch?v=F2FMPZM0fEA
 
1:27 PM
probably. Texas is pretty big. I don't know which areas are actually affected by all this.
@TheAce classic.
 
@Rapitor never gets old
 
@TheAce wut
 
@Rapitor that tenth one is what you really need to watch out for

Q: problems in lauching minecraft

nikhil_indiani have purchased minecraft and i want to instal it it took 2 hrs to down files by launcher but it hangs on launching the game what is the problem [17:58:08 ERROR]: Couldn't unpack natives! java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method) ~[?...

 
Yeah, so apparently SourceForge is doing more fishy stuff.
If you don't upload a new release in 18 months, they will take over your account and create a new installer laced with adware.
 
@Powerlord Pricks
 
@Powerlord wow, that's pretty high level terrible.
 
@Powerlord yeah, real dick move
@Powerlord i don't think that's how you beat github
 
By the way, look just below the image in the middle of the page for more accounts they've taken over.
 
1:50 PM
I remember when SourceForge wasn't dicks.
 
@StrixVaria Me too.

user113897My minecraft pe signs on my kindle fire hd show up blank unless my avatar is one block beneath it and up against it. How do I fix it?

 
1:56 PM
 
2:09 PM
Sourceforge gotta make money somehow
 
@Powerlord what the fuck
 
Putting adware in installers is pretty common practice isn't it
 
> locking out GIMP's lead Windows developer.
^ that is not common practice.
That is high level dickery
 
user15026
@wipqozn sorry, I fell asleep again. What's up?
 
Locking out?
 
2:13 PM
They assumed complete control of the account
 
Oh wtf
 
Is what I gather
If the practice was "In exchange for hosting your software here, we will put it into an installer bundle, just FYI" fine.
But that doesn't appear to be the case
 
That's what I thought he meant
 
It's a problem too that, as far as I know, they didn't do the installer bundling in the past
and they just silently started
 
> an unidentified member of SourceForge's community team wrote that, in fact, "this project was actually abandoned over 18 months ago, and SourceForge has stepped-in to keep this project current." That runs counter to claims by members of the GIMP development community.
 
2:18 PM
@PrivatePansy That's clearly not the point
 
@fredley You're clearly not the point
 
@Unionhawk Thanks for pointing that out
 
@fredley Any time
> "Based on our prior outreach to the GIMP-Win author, we understand that they had concerns about the presence of misleading third-party ads on SourceForge." Many of those ads include fake download buttons that deliver other software products—some of which may be laden with adware or even malware. SourceForge launched an initiative called "BlockThis" to try to stop "misleading ads," but they are still legion on the site's download pages.
Ads that appear to be download buttons should be illegal

@fredley lol :D
 
@fredley I do enjoy the fact that /r/soccer's CSS is rotating images of the FBI.
 
2:25 PM
Really? lol!
 
YEAH, TAKE THAT FIFA
 
I quite enjoy Futbol.
@Unionhawk xD Something tells me I need to watch this show...
 
FIFA always was a bunch of corrupt assholes. They never had the sport in mind, only the money.
 
@5pike It seems basically everyone is that way nowadays :(
 
@5pike We apparently had 24 years of shit on them
 
2:28 PM
FIFA, majority of the US government...
 
The details of the FIFA corruption go back to before @Uni
 
@Unionhawk I really hope that they get some long prison terms.
 
Well, okay, that's not basically everyone.
 
3 years B.U. (before @Uni)
 
lol :D

@Unionhawk I vote this as a new measurement of time
Except called B.W. Before Wrong
 
BW sounds like it could be before Wipqozn
 
Naah, everyone knows @Unionhawk is the most Wrong and @Wipqozn is the worst
 
@KevinvanderVelden No, @Wipqozn is the most worst
duh
 
@Unionhawk Most worstest?
 
@Unionhawk he can be both
 
2:34 PM
Yep
 
Good point
 
@RPiAwesomeness It's great.
I should post the nicknames cut.
 
I have a friend who loves it. I'm still watching Sherlock though :P

Psych is a great laugh-out-loud series.
Also, references out the wazoo.
 
I miss Psych so much
 
2:52 PM
The last season was a bit "huh?" though, so it's a bit lower in my ranking of "best shows of all-time".
Still pretty up there though.
 
Did you see the musical episode?
 
@SaintWacko <3
 
@Yuuki It was just plain amazing

@AshleyNunn I just wanted to ask if you could stop reading so many books. You're making the rest of us look lazy, LAZY I SAY! Gosh datn book reading robots.
 
user15026
3:04 PM
@Wipqozn I'm sorry! I will go slower. (Actually, lately I've not really been reading as much as usual....)
 
@Powerlord Hell was a little more entertaining than Xen.
 
user15026
I've only read 58 books so far this year..... (which means unlike last year, I might actually break 100. Which I totally would have done last year if people hadn't convinced me to start the Name of the Wind)
 
@AshleyNunn THose bastards.
...wait, I was one of those people...fuck
I'm monster

@MadMAxJr I'm just referring to the start, which is "start doing your job and suddenly monsters portal in and start taking over"
I was only playing on Marine difficulty, which is (as of Enpro Plant start) too easy.
I'm at work now, so I'm not playing it at the moment.
 
user15026
@Wipqozn You totally are ;)
 
user15026
3:09 PM
Alright, I should start getting my bits together so I can head to work like an awesome grownup who has a job.
 
@AshleyNunn Wow. I read fast, but that's fast.
 
user15026
Yeah, I read very fast. :)
 
Though if I added together all the books I read my kids, I'd probably top 500 this year.
(With 300 of those being The Monster at The End of This Book.)
 
user15026
@JasonBerkan Which is a really good book!
 
@Wipqozn You forgot word there.
:21883304 No U.
 
3:12 PM
@AshleyNunn It is my youngest kids favourite. He says the last word on each page. "What did that say?" Little voice: "Say!"
 
user15026
@JasonBerkan that's super cute :)
 
3:24 PM
@Yuuki I'm going to see Grave Digger next week, so if you haven't bought tickets for the Blind Guardian/Grave Digger tour yet, I'll let you know how it was and if I think it's good. (You should buy a ticket anyway, because Blind Guardian is so extremely amazing)
 
Grave Digger used to be one of the best Monster Trucks.
 
Warning: skulls, reaperlike images, burning crosses and probably more NSFW music clip parts.
 
@JasonBerkan My son has a little toy transforming triceratops that quite often says "My name is [whatever its name is], but you can call me sir!" and he invariably responds with "Sir!"
 
@SaintWacko "SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE!"
 
@Arperum Not something I can watch at the office then. :P
 
3:34 PM
@MadMAxJr It's just heavy metal, so if you can play that, you can play it in the background without watching?
 
@SaintWacko Nice. Can he transform it himself? Most of my nights involve kids following me around with toys saying "Form. Form. Robot."

It was terrible
 
We always have weird-ass water here. They had ginger and mint the other day. I don't even try them anymore.
They're all awful.
 
My cafeteria isn't that crazy, they're just overpriced.
 
Ginger... and mint
What the hell is that
Whose idea was that

Yesterday they served this African dish, though. I have no idea if it was accurate but it tasted good.
 
@originaluser I really can't complain since our cafeterias are free.
 
Android M is Milkyway... apparently.
 
@StrixVaria You monster.
I paid like $9 for lunch today :(
 
@StrixVaria We get $2.50 credit, which makes lunch like $5 or less than $2 if you're smart
It's taxable but meh

4:51 PM
 
Ah, the wonderful world of AMD and non-deterministic errors
 
@originaluser weirdness, not as horrible as I thought it would be though
 
Well, non-deterministic as in it's not clear from my end what causes the problem, not as in "the error defies causality"
 
I would like an "Allow Once" option for the new permissions options.
 
@MBraedley why?
 
4:53 PM
@Unionhawk yeah... between Verizon and Motorola... I don't think I'm ever going to get the update
 
Hey all!
 
@murgatroid99 That just feels like the right way to handle it.
 
@Rapitor Coming in 2022: Android VerizonSeriouslyPushOTAUpdatesAlready
 
@MBraedley I mean, what is the use case for "I want this app to have this information, but only once"?
 
@murgatroid99 Location data for instance.
 
4:54 PM
And what does "once" mean for location? When does it stop getting your location data?
 
I hope one of the permissions you can deny is access to the Internet.
 
When you close or switch apps, as one possibility.
 
losing permissions when you lose focus would probably be really hard to program around
 
I guess I'll have to watch the keynote
 
Well, if we make programming hard then that means the only programs left will be really good, right? ;)
 
4:56 PM
I'm not suggesting it would be easy, but from a user perspective, it'd be nice.
 
@originaluser no, it means that people won't transition to the new permission model, and this will never actually happen
@MBraedley I don't think I would ever want that option
 
@murgatroid99 You might not, want it, but I might.
 
Yeah, I'm being facetious. I think @MBraedley's idea is interesting from a user-perspective though
 
@MBraedley well, I'm sure they did user research
 
I can envision something like Steam where it technically only has to dial in once to set everything up
 
4:58 PM
NOT WITH ME!
 
then after that you could set it up to work offline
