@ParanoidPanda you wanna try my script?

edwinksl

@ParanoidPanda you are very welcome. now give us cookies

Zacharee1

perfectly safe: a random person offering you a JS script that injects CSS

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 that somehow then installs a rootkit

Zacharee1

cause CSS can do that

Seth

strange. I had kubuntu 16.10 installed on another partition, but it no longer shows up in grub.

Zacharee1

22:01

it's possible, I've done it

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 totes

Zacharee1

on my 30 year old smartphone (@Zanna)

edwinksl

@Seth ask on AU? :)

Seth

if I open that partition I see my home folder called @seth and a folder called @. @ has the root filesystem and @seth has all my home dir o_O

edwinksl

@_@

Zacharee1

22:01

@Seth OT. Report on Launchpad (VTC)

Seth

@edwinksl ;)

Zacharee1

who wants to be on the dev team for my script?

and should I post this on MetaSE? Do they like that sort of thing there?

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 i can't even run the damn thing xD

Zacharee1

@edwinksl try again maybe?

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 this could be the Next Catchy Summer Song

Zacharee1

Wait no, Justin BIEBER

edwinksl

Zacharee1

@SETH DELETE ^^

NOW

Byte Commander

baby, baby, baby - MEEEEHH!

It's the goat edition - it's funny!

Zacharee1

xD

I think that song could use a little more autotune, don't you?

edwinksl

22:08

does JB autotune excessively? i am curious xD

Zacharee1

not anymore

edwinksl

you sound like you are a JB connoisseur

Zacharee1

my mom and sister really like the newer songs

and there have been times, like at work, when I was forced to listen through them a lot

edwinksl

how does anyone force you to listen to bieber?

Byte Commander

Already got the Stockholm syndrome?

Zacharee1

22:12

the radio was on

Serg

@Zacharee1 one word : headphones

Zacharee1

how will me wearing headphones fix this?

Byte Commander

Put on loud heavy metal.

Serg

what matters is not headphones but what you listen in them amd how loud

Zacharee1

ah yes, lemme put headphones on in a kennel and listen to very loud music

Byte Commander

22:17

Or play the same song but 180° phase shifted, so that the destructive interference will create peaceful silence in your ears...

Zacharee1

lol

and stand in the exact position where the two sources are equally as audible? Sounds like a plan

Byte Commander

Modern headphones have that built in.

Noise cancelling.

Zacharee1

I hate headphones

can barely stand earbuds

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 airpods are noise-cancelling right?

Byte Commander

Or am I mixing up something? I think that is what noise cancelling does...

Zacharee1

22:19

@edwinksl wealth-cancelling

edwinksl

Seth

23:07

hey @Zanna, I was thinking of creating a twitter account to share some of the funny one liners/starred messages/out of context things that get said in this room. I want to name the account Chatty Chupacabras (after your chatroom name idea). Do you mind?

Zacharee1

Posted on Meta.

Donz keel meh plz

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 AUM or MSE?

Zacharee1

@Seth it's a £3/mo royalty :p

Kaz Wolfe

Zacharee1

Kaz Wolfe

23:15

oh. Yeah, MSE bites

even though they seem to like me this time

Zacharee1

lol

Zanna

@Seth That was @terdon 's idea I thought! Definitely not mine... sounds like a good idea! The twitter account I mean :)

Zacharee1

they usually like my questions on MSE, but I'm not so sure how they take to product placements

you can use apostrophes after a ping: @Zanna's here hi

Zanna

@Zacharee1 thanks!

Seth

@Zanna Oops! You are right, it was actually @onebree's idea. Sorry for the mix up! That's what I get for just glancing at the meta post before asking -.-

embarrassing

edwinksl

23:18

@Seth but i heard you have powahs to delete history

Zanna

@Seth @edwinksl afaik it never happened ;)

Q: Dark Theme Ask Ubuntu

Same title, different theme. After asking my question Dark Theme for Ask Ubuntu, I realized that it is probably hard to make a new theme, and since no one else seemed interested, I was probably one of few who needed the feature. Because of this, I've made my own userscript that injects a CSS fi...

edwinksl

@Zanna see no evil

@Zacharee1 421 in that orange box? you missed a glorious chance for 420...

Serg

The system glitched out on me so could connect pc to projector. Figured out networking on switch level but didn't realize the freakin adapter was disabled

Zacharee1

23:24

Q: Is a question consisting of 4 (only slightly related) questions a good review audit?

Difference between installation of ubuntu software center and command line is used as audit for "Low quality posts". 1. and 2. are ok to asked like that. 3. already is a separate question which is tolerable, but I'd add the default ~"It'd be preferrable to split you question" comment. I don't see...

Nick T

I can't seem to resolve it on multiple workstations with multiple DNS servers

Zacharee1

well isn't it archive.ubuntu.com?

Nick T

23:32

lol

my vagrantbox is being a tool and not resolving archive.ubuntu.com so I was trying to resolve .org to test it everywhere else :P

edwinksl

@Zacharee1 how do you have 160+ commits for your repo

Zacharee1

ubuntu.org has something to do with some Catalán organization

Seth

hey does anyone know if the Windows 10 anniversary update bug was fixed? I need to use OneNote for school but I'm afraid to upgrade and have my partition table corrupted..

Nathan Osman

23:50

@Serg That's not pirate-speak...

:P

Zacharee1

What's the build number for it? @Seth

Nathan Osman

@Seth I'm not brave enough to check yet.

Seth

@Zacharee1 no idea? I haven't booted Windows in.... 8 months? More?

@NathanOsman same.

Zacharee1

no, the build for the Anniversary Update

Seth

I can't risk bricking anything at this point, even if it is fixable.

@Zacharee1 Oh. I don't know?

why?

Zacharee1

23:52

hmm

I thought I might have it

but it's 1607, and I have 1511

Serg

@NathanOsman arrrrr

Seth

hmm, someone on reddit is claiming it is because fastboot was enabled in Windows.

Serg

dis scallywag failed ship recruitment test so a bit pissed

Seth

So it creates the extra partitions for that, I guess.

Byte Commander

@Zacharee1 Your dark script makes SE chatrooms (other then the AU room) ugly:

Zacharee1

23:57

you mean the border?

Byte Commander

Yes.

But I find it too dark in general.

Zacharee1

wat

Byte Commander

You should rather make it look like e.g. the Discord app.

Zacharee1

um hmm

Byte Commander

The full black background and full white font is a bit a strong contrast.

Zacharee1

23:58

would you mind submitting a pull request? the CSS for chat is commented

Byte Commander

Letme play a bit with it in my console...
