well congrats. you won by a landslide
 
someone REALLY likes Ubuntu or REALLY hates UEFI either one!
@KazWolfe I sure did :P
 
wow...who is doing this?
 
@JamesTobin really hates UEFI, hmm?
 
10:14 PM
it wasnt me
I don't have that many browsers!
 
it seems completely silly to clone-vote 130 more times when UEFI already has over 5x the votes
 
yeah

gah
104.28.28.81
 
that's not the IP
that's the cloudflare endpoint

evening!
 
dammit

LOLOL
Fedora works better with UEFI than ubuntu for some reason
still will goof occasionally
on my Dell that is all that would work
*was

poll.lab.io/y_REAKGZ8OfQNdMYqH3z5g/results is finally being spammed :P

"I need real answers not be don't waist my time telling me I haven't been hacked cause I'm not a target you don't know me or my situation" askubuntu.com/questions/827985/…

this is very entertaining
 
@KazWolfe is it u??
 
10:34 PM
stopped at 183-142
my internet sucks too much to do this
 
moving now
if you watch it, it is slowly going toward 1/2 agian
@KazWolfe interesting
bot is compensating
 
and bios is going faster
 
yep
222/224 now
@HenryWHHackv2.0 is it u?
 
moving again.
looks to be 1:1 again
 
yep
lemme see if I can fix the +2 overlay
 
10:37 PM
now only UEFI is moving
 
only bios now
 
@insert_name_here now only BIOS is moving
 
and BIOS in the lead again
 
:D
@HenryWHHackv2.0 stop spamming!
 
what makes you think it's him?
now only UEFI
 
10:39 PM
cuz he knows how to do that stuff and he's just sitting around
 
and only efi now.
huh.
 
UEFI in the lead
 
what's goin on
 
it looks like the bot is keeping it roughly fair/even?
 
yeah
 
10:40 PM
it looks like it biases a bit but it corrects itself...
 
yeah
UEFI is taking the lead for a bit
 
UEFI moving again
 
What is happening?
 
someone is spamming tobin's poll in a very curious way
and now bios is moving again
 
@KazWolfe they are adding to "BIOS" now
 
10:43 PM
what poll
ah
 
@Zacharee1 I think it is @HenryWHHackv2.0 but I may be wrong
 
lol
 
bios is catching up.
neat.
 
lol cause that's trustworthy
 
10:47 PM
be back in 15 mins
 
BIOS moving again
BIOS in the lead lol
and now UEFI in the lead...
now they're equal
 
wtf lol
 
now 1 vote more for UEFI
aand equal again
 
looks like it stopped moving.
 
now "no, I'm not" is getting spammed
 
10:55 PM
o/ @JourneymanGeek
 
morning
 
all the polls seemed to stop moving.
curious... i wonder why the bot auto-balanced votes on UEFI vs BIOS
 
how do you know it was the bot?
 
because look at the vote history.
 
its operator probably told the bot to balance them
 
10:58 PM
well, the bot did the voting :P
again... why balance the votes?
 
for fun? :P
 
eh. it did it in a weird way though.
i mean, it was first 1:1. Then it was 2:1 in each direction. Then it spammed votes one way and caught up the other.
 
@JamesTobin wb
 
??
back NOW
 
11:36 PM
All 3k+ users: What do you say to a CV purge this weekend and maybe the next and so on? If we get 5 people together about an hour before UTC 0, we could clear out at least 40 in one sitting.
 
+1 from me
 
Maybe I should Meta this
 
it is only 157 though
not particularly urgent
 
@edwinksl 342!!
you've reviewed recently
so
Why do people answer their questions with edits?
 
edited askubuntu.com/questions/98702/… and got the "critic" badge :P
 
11:49 PM
There's first a modal popup (for the first time) telling you to make sure you actually mean to answer, and then there's a browser JS alert the times afterward
@KazWolfe posted
 
@Zacharee1 if people actually read things that are in front of them, the world will be a much better place
 
@edwinksl I read "read" in past tense and was really confused when I ran into "will" :p
 
we do need a better past tense for read
maybe readed? :p
 
@KazWolfe Hi, I'm Lenovo. I make phones without headphones jacks, and inject malware into the BIOS firmware of my laptops.
@edwinksl ogodplsno
 
i readed your amd post and it was awesome!
 
11:52 PM
@edwinksl stahp
@NathanOsman ban @edwinksl pls
 
Hammertime.
 
zzz
 
c'mon metabot
 
I like transparent panels :P
 
@KazWolfe I have an idea. What if you added EOL releases to your botlist?

Q: Arrange Icons In Better Grid

David Cole - Grammar PoliceI've recently come to find all my desktop programs and icons thrown askew about the place, and while rearranging, I noticed that the grid system Ubuntu uses by default is (in my eyes) miserable. On Windows for example there is a large grid, and icons are far enough from each other to read, but ...

Wow.
Lots of lily pads.
 
o_O
Is that the OP or DSLR??
 
O_o
 
What happened?
 
11:56 PM
The picture quality
 
When I'm there in person (like I am right now) it's always the OP3. I have to go home to copy the images off the DSLR.
 
I want the OP, but I want SD cards, removable batteries, IR blasters, QHD screens...
 
@NathanOsman well how am I to know that you're there? :p
 
11:57 PM
I'm at a dam upstream now.
 
@Zacharee1 sounds like you want an iPhone then!

Q: Calling all 3k+ users!

Zacharee1So the Close Vote queue, while down somewhat since the last mod elections, is pretty full. I haven't reviewed in a while, and I see 342 to review, which means the number is probably that, if not higher. Instead of asking how we can encourage people to go through the queue, I have a proposition (...

 
THERE IT IS
