Ask Ubuntu General Room

@Braiam here's the real question. if ubuntu-one on windows is on topic, then how do you make mint off-topic without it looking like a grudge match? personally i think they're both off-topic.

Seth

@Braiam Close it IMO. The Ubuntu One client isn't supported on Mint AFAIK.

most modern browsers have spellcheck. As a fellow dyslexic, I'd suggest using it might turn out to be a lifechanger. — Journeyman Geek 22 secs ago

> It's hardly your fault that on your first attempt, when you accost a clergyman, a clumsy orphan attempting to swipe his hat instead sticks a fish-hook in his ear. There is no sound on earth or under it like the sound of a clergyman with a fish-hook in his earlobe.

Jeremy

Updated version of what?

Seth

Jeremy

Seth

What best practices am I breaking now? D: (ever so slight, joking sarcasm)

Jeremy

Well you're wasting resources by initializing variables without using them

Seth

2:08 AM

True, but that's ok here. Anything else you can see? I would think it's too simple to really be that bad..

Jeremy

Haha... I can't think of anything...

Seth

:D

Braiam

@Seth what the... you only show that bit of code to look cool with the black background ¬_¬

Jeremy

Of course it's still equivalent to an unproductive loop

Seth

@Braiam What do you mean?

The tilt is to highlight the important bits of the code. The rest is just to fill up the 10 char limit and provide some background.

@Jeremy lol. That is true I suppose.

Anyone want to take this in hand?

Our plymouth questions are out of sorts.

I need some willing hands to organize them (not now, as I have to sleep, urgently).

Google: "change plymouth theme ubuntu" to get an idea of what I mean. There are a lot of dupes with duplicated answers.

Example:
