And don't make assumptions. Maybe the OP actually meant that the data will be loosed and go on a rampage.

Serg

@RobotHumans did April 1st came early this year ?

RobotHumans

@Serg Might have. It would have been a funny prank if it were actually a prank.

Serg

O_o

Wait . . .did someone hack into SO servers ?

Oh and I screwed up most of a help center backfill for HTTPS-ification with a last minute logging refactor, like a… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/840336529906110464

Dammit! How do you one box twitter stuff?

Could one of the twitter savvy mods try and fix that?

Serg

terdon

Without removing the link altogether? ;)

Serg

Lol, what the heck is going on today ? I'm so confused

terdon

Yay! Who did that? And how?

Thanks @Seth

Ubuntu Questions on U&L

Q: Differences Between Debian and Ubuntu GNOME?

I used to have a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian (Debian) and I used Kali Linux (Debian) in a VirtualBox. Next, I tried out Ubuntu (Unity) in VirtualBox. It was OK, I guess. I'd like to know, however (because I haven't tried Ubuntu GNOME) what are the main differences between Ubuntu GNOME and Debian?

Q: Do we need the Private Beta help?

Right now, there's an interesting page on the Help Center: How to Ask Questions in Private Beta. As Ask Ubuntu is not really in private beta anymore, is this page really necessary? Or, more accurately, is there a valid reason for keeping this help page around?

Q: I can't embed images anymore?

Suddenly, when I try to embed an image, it only puts the link in. (Just like if you have less than 10 rep) I'm curious if any other users are experiencing this... ?

Seth

well hello feeds

sometimes twitter and chat are picky about their links

terdon

@Seth Um. That's precisely what I thought I had done. 3 times. Apparently, I no longer know how to copy/paste.

Serg

I know I'm sleep deprived and generally not comprehending what's going on . . .but what's going on ?

terdon

@Serg Fun bug. Fixed now. Fun over.

Q: Network-wide Help Center bug

I posted it on Meta Stack Overflow as well, but in any case: there's a network-wide bug affected all sites' Help Centers. E.g. this link: https://meta.stackexchange.com/help/on-topic shows long-deleted Stack Overflow content only Google can find: What topics can I ask about here? a "ret...

A: Network-wide Help Center bug

This should be be resolved, details on this meta.stackoverflow.com post.

Yes, bebe it should

terdon

Here, @Serg, since you missed the fun:

A: What if I see someone, like Nick Craver, doing something bad?

Here's a couple of gems, from this brief and gloriously underappreciated moment, preserved for posterity: From chat:

Serg

Nick needs more coffee

and possibly a shot of whiskey

and i do too

Reason #159 not to like Spotify:

It's flooding the network with mDNS queries.

Who do I yell at for that?

Serg

I had something similar going on with google chrome going on a few months back

wonder if it's still happening

yup, still happening

terdon

Where are you seeing this?

FINALLY, I FIGURED IT OUT!!!

A: Screen tearing in Xubuntu, no problem with Ubuntu

Three months later, I have found the solution! Disable XFCE's built-in compositor: Open up a terminal, and run these commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install compton cd ~/.config nano compton.conf Paste this into Nano Press CTRL+X and then Y and then Enter to sa...

What took, I mean?

@terdon Wireshark

Also, that's Unity 16.04 with Kylin theme

terdon

I meant wireshark, thanks.

@Serg I can tell it's unity by the big ugly buttons :P

Why doesn't Xubntu ship with those modifications by default?

Who wants screen tearing?

There.

I feel better now.

I have aired my grievances.

terdon

@AndroidDev Nice, well done! And thanks for posting an answer!

Serg

@AndroidDev maybe it's a good question to ask the maintainers ?

@terdon it's not the size of the buttons that matters . . . .

but the icon theme

terdon

@Serg Yeah, well, whatever makes you feel better, man.

Serg

What would make me feel better right now is teleportation device which would send me straight to bed

Instead I still have to pick up my mom's car from the repair shop . . .

And I had such great plans for this weekend . . .As usually everything went to shiz

@terdon The screen tearing was annoying the heck out of me :)

Nathan Osman

My inbox has hit 10,000.

O_o

terdon

@AndroidDev I assume you don't mind the edit, it's just better to have everything here whenever possible. So I removed the comments and empty lines and added the code to your post.

Serg

Overdue cleaning , eh ? @NathanOsman
