yeah i mean why can't they include them, and why can't they link to my user profile.

They're using the same QID as well so linking to here would be a matter of askubuntu.com/q/QID

I don't think there's a real reason they can't, except that they are almost surely re-using tech

basically they're putting in the minimal effort required to accomplish the task

yes :(

ahh well in a few months they should be gone

So to be fair, maybe I'm not understanding the economics ... maybe even with that kind of site, they are somehow making decent money. It's just like those Viagra spam emails. I never thought they really made that much money, but it turns out they do, as some people buy a lot of Viagra that way

@Chan-HoSuh That's scary.

@NathanOsman \o

o/

Doesn't AU offer RSS? There's a whole bunch of ways to grab that and insert it all automatically. :/

I also have this: stack2rss.quickmediasolutions.com

@KGIII yes they do - I put some tags into my rss scope on the phone ;)

@KGIII askubuntu.com/feeds

probably that's why they don't have the images

Yeah. I'd not be surprised if that's how they do it. Simply copy or make their own PHP and grab the feeds and insert 'em.

And why the formatting is off

Looks like they've a whole API if they wanted to be fancy about it.

so they don't even need to devise their own scrapers, just use Nathan's API

so now we know who's really behind these site....

@NathanOsman stack2rss.quickmediasolutions.com/2.2/… :(

@Chan-HoSuh xD

Oh, my API key again.

I keep running out of requests :P

has it expired or reached max uses?

ahh the latter

All blame goes to Nathan.

buahahaha

has george not set up an auto-request-new-one yet? :p

ugh homework

@Zacharee1 what do you need to do?

or this - developers.google.com/feed/v1/reference

Math, religion, bio, English, possibly Spanish

We need more people in Photo Swap

Hmmm... To el es estudia espanole? Mi espanole es muy mierda. :/

Err... Muy malo.

yo @Whaaaaaat how goes things

huh? something happened here.

@Mateo o/

pretty interesting article on spam botnets: nytimes.com/2013/09/03/business/global/…

map.norsecorp.com

interesting DoS in progress

o/ @tim

o/ @Whaaaaaat although my mother just said I have to go to sleep, and chat on mobile is pretty bad so I think I'm gonna go now :(

@Whaaaaaat cool site

feels really old

@Tim 10th

@KGIII is really sh*t? lol

The DoS-ers really don't like the US and Saudi Arabia

@Whaaaaaat hmm saudi doesn't like someone... Did the USA stop buying oil or something?

Si, mi espanole es mierda. Err... Es muy malo.

@Tim Saudi Arabia doesn't like itself.

I spend a lot of time, comparatively speaking, south of the border. I like South America.

China and Turkey are DDoSing the US

Fun

yeah, really Saudi Arabia doesn't like itself, lol

and China really doesn't like Seattle ...

@KGIII "south of the border" could be Mexico

tl;dr: everyone hates everyone

Or a few other countries. I go through 'em too. I have a son who's living in Peru at the moment so it's fun to go visit him, as well.

@KGIII podemos insultar las personas aqui y no sabrian

@KGIII bet if you left the Norse corp map site open for the delivery person, you'd get a lot more comments

maybe even a visit from the local constabulary

Si @Zacharee1, es muy facile!

That might work @Chan-HoSuh! I haven't figured out what we're going to eat yet and she has no opinion.

lots of telnet attacks. Weird.

@KGIII be careful... I've been burned by the "no opinion" opinion for delivery food before :)

Good point @Chan-HoSuh. Good point. She snickered. :/

Porque no puedo poner acentos?

No, non acentos en chat.

Warum kann Ich Akzente legen nicht?

Ahh German grammar

Es muy malo...

Si

I do find it hilarious that the spammers chose the name of their fake pharmacy as "Canada Pharmacy", seemingly to appear as innocuous as possible

aww my altgr is broken again

Nien spekenzie deutch?

Spreche, but close @KGIII

How to tell if a spammer is dedicated: They have good SSL certs

LOL Thanks. I don't speak German. Not well, at any rate.

I've been fortunate enough to travel, so I've picked up a little of all sorts of languages. Sad, I barely speak my native language appropriately.

@KGIII sadly, so yeah

:)

Yup. I'm aware. :P

holy god someone just got obliterated.

you watching that video game you linked? :D

@Whaaaaaat Whaaaaaat?

switch tabs from the norse thing, wait a minute and then go back. boom

She wants Italian food. :/

@KGIII porque esta malo?

We have a hardware recommendations site now?

ooh

my homeland :p

mmmm, I have mozzarella balls in my fridge ;)

Sweet @NathanOsman. How about a security section?

@KGIII Information Security

I'm thinking a plate of spaghetti is nice. Breaded mozzarella sticks on the side.

Nice - thanks. I missed that.

BREADSTICKS

Stop

Muchos gracias @Whaaaaaat.

Now I'm hungry

Muchas?

oil and vinegar :O

:(

Hmm... Well, come to Buffalo and I'll feed ya Zack.

lol

Buffalo where?

Si, es muchas - mi espanole es mierda. ;)

@KGIII Hi los valokein

New York. I'm still in this hotel. sighs

Hmm... Belguim? Finland? Sweden?

@KGIII what now?

I started off on my journey across the country and probably down to Peru but I was driving, much at random, when I decided to go up state and see the falls before it got cold.

That's where I met a female.

@KGIII ah

I've been in this darned hotel for about two months now.

@KGIII is it a nice hotel?

Yes but the room service is slow and the maids are even slower so I just clean the place myself.

@KGIII But how do you get the free soaps and stuff?

heh

@KGIII what happened with the userscript?

@Whaaaaaat... I have my own hygiene supplies. ;-) They have itty bitty bars of soap.

It was bugging people because it said I was still typing (even when I wasn't) so I disabled it days ago.

oh, you can only see users who have the userscript installed?

It doesn't do that anymore

@Whaaaaaat -_-

i thought there was an api that George was using.

That's what I believe @Whaaaaaat. I guess you'd have to ask @NathanOsman to be certain but I'm pretty sure that it only shows the typing for those who have it installed as well.

@GeorgeEdison explain pls

The script only works for those with the script.

oh

@Whaaaaaat @GeorgeEdison?

so i can't stalk seth?

Not unless he has it installed

No.

(Why would you want to do that anyway?)

LOL I'll reinstall it later but I didn't want to bug people - I'm too polite for that.

And food is on the way - I'll open the map site again when they call up to be let in. :D

@NathanOsman because seth is awesome and i want to absorb some of his awesomeness.

"Seth, can I stalk you so that I can be more awesome?"

Awesomeness via osmosis.

Let's ping Seth and see what he has to say

<Seth> Yes, my child.

O_o

LOL

I am actually laughing

@KGIII just a thought about hipsterism which we discussed yesterday, so it's been said that being a hipster is really about appropriation of culture by an outsider, eg you aren't into computer science or programming, but you pick up enough to make commentaries about the deepness of coding and how it disrupts society

<Seth> Hear the Word of Seth! Be fruitful and absorb my awesomeness -- it is my Gift to mankind.

This conversation has gone long enough without bacon being mentioned.

Bacon.

Pfft... I was doing that before it was cool. nods

(Sorry, could not help myself.)

CODE RED! /201/ is turning into The Bridge!! ABORT! ABORT!

^--- want

That is much more than 42.

Mine is bigger.

"I see your Schwartz is as big as mine" @NathanOsman

Ubuntu 15.10: Endorsed by Loony Tunes (and other things)!

Ha! @Whaaaaaat

I should compile a master list of Linux support communities for Wily.

"Wile E. Coyote - Supurr Geniusss"

You're making me feel old :P

Imma buy stock in Acme Corporation.

I used to watch those on Saturday mornings when I was a kid.

Anvils and rockets - they're the future.

I watched them all on Youtube

Thx Youtube

Love 'em

I was a bit disturbed that several local supermarkets were replaced by "Acme" supermarkets

ALL HAIL SETH! LORD OF CREATION!

I was interested by that too @Chan-HoSuh

Probably some on Voat too.

What brings you to the realm of the mortals, o mightly one?

I found that interesting, I should say

there was apparently an Acme Anvil company: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acme_Corporation
