Well, I'm probably going to have to say goodbye to Ubuntu later on today and say hello to Arch... So if that plan goes ahead then I might not be around for a while while I am setting it up.
user136984
I guess if I have all the documentation and I read it all things can't go that badly... Can they? :D

Q: Fed up with Windows

karelI'm fed up with Windows for all the usual reasons that you can easily find out for yourself by googling the topic. Today I reviewed a suggested edit of a question that changed the download link of a software from SourceForge to the software's official website. SourceForge had added 0.7MB to the s...

user136984
@AndroidDev: And he does want any "widows" on his machine! :D
user136984
Have you changed your profile picture by the way?
user136984
It's written like at the top of every page though and even in the URL, why can't they just learn how to spell "Ubuntu"?
12:55
I guess Sara J is 'she' not 'he'
user136984
@Zanna: Well, you never know, I've made that mistake before... :P
user136984
I just didn't go to the question so didn't see the name.
oh no
I bought a 2 year protection plan
not a drops and spills plan
@ParanoidPanda my point is - why do we assume? ;)
user136984
@Zanna: Because we apparently still live in a sexist society still...
user136984
13:02
I don't know, I made a point of not doing it when I first got here, but I kind of gave in a few months ago.
because we don't have a neutral pronoun
Well never give in, keep on fighting ;)
user136984
@Zacharee1: Well, I used to say "them" and "they".
yeah, but you can't use that in anything formal
user136984
I still do in some places where I don't want to give away someone's gender, and I have confused so many people with it... :D
user136984
13:03
@Zacharee1: There are words you can use, such as "one" and there will be others.
actually @Zacharee1 we have numerous gender neutral pronouns and I think it is much more polite to use 'they' ungrammatically than to misgender folks
@Zanna I'm not saying don't use it, I'm just saying that's why people don't use it
user136984
You could describe them as "specimens". :P
@ParanoidPanda try using "one" in sentences to replace the pronoun. That doesn't work :p
one is going over to one's bookshelf to get one's phone one left there by accident
user136984
13:05
Well, I got by using it and others and didn't confuse anyone... It's just more or less everyone seems to be male round here and everyone seems to assume that so I kind of just gave in...
@Zacharee1 sorry, I didn't mean to be aggressive :)
user136984
There have been some embarrassing times when I've seen people called obviously female people "him" and "he" though. :D
user136984
I mean obvious by the name.
user136984
@Zacharee1: "They are going over to their bookshelf to get their phone which they left there by accident", what wrong with that?
@ParanoidPanda sounds like you're talking about multiple people
technically, you'd need to say "they is going over to they's bookshelf to get they's phone which they left there by accident" :p
I use "they" all the time with the plural conjugation btw
13:08
it's ungrammatical, strictly speaking, but in all honesty, f*** that, because dodgy grammar is better than causing harm to people
I'm just trying to say this is why people don't like to use a plural pronoun to be gender neutral
user136984
How about me make up some non-gender specific names and just start using them like some authors? :P
And I'm just trying to explain why they should do it anyway
@Zanna you'll have to tell them yourself
did you see the link?
13:09
I ain't no rep
user136984
@Zacharee1: Well, if we had kept certain things from old English then we would be able to better specify these sorts of things.
@Zacharee1 that's what I do, I'm doing it right now!
@Zanna yeah, and I would rather have one word, like "su" in Spanish

13:09
hahaha
@ParanoidPanda I cannae understand ye laddy
1 min ago, by Zacharee1
@Zanna yeah, and I would rather have one word, like "su" in Spanish
in case that got mixed up
what I see on that site isn't one completely neutral pronoun
no I saw that, I agree, English REALLY needs a 'respectful 3rd person singular'
I see a ton of weird edits to him/her that just confuse more and would ultimately either cause more assumption or more defaulting to "he"
I say we just take from German again and use some neutered pronouns
where I'm from we even have some quips about not using 'he' and 'she' because it's not respectful, like 'who's she? the cat's mother?' But where's the respectful word for when you don't know someone's name?
quien es?
who is?
no pronoun at all because it's implied in Spanish
tada
user136984
13:15
It's all the fault of the English language and the Human mind which developed it.
user136984
Japanese is much better! You can be completely gender neutral there! :D
well these ideas come from people who aren't comfortable with he and she... I am happy to take their ideas. The pronouns she her hers are comfortable for me, and no doubt he him his are fine for you... Let the folks who need something else decide what it should be, imo
as long as the sexist language gets improved somehow, great :)
Yay for Japanese :)

15:22
I hate questions in comments that are already answered in the answer.

I lost soo much time on a question, no one wanted to catch a 50 rep bounty.

I had to write the answer myself

@Serg you are a lousy pokemon go player/

During Beijing Olympics i was thoroughly enjoying watching both Chinese and the US team , and rooting for either. And honestly, I'm glad they both got to the top 2 places.
@Rinzwind yea , I'm very lousy. . . . . because i haven't played Pokemon go at all

OP , OP, OP gangam style . .. .eeeeeeey, sexy admin . . . . . .
( because no reason at all other than comedy )
15:40
Can't find an appropriate flag for this askubuntu.com/q/808928/530811
Oo, even Satan uses Linux. I'm impressed
Hi everybody ! :)
(Satan is OP's name im that question )
@cl-netbox morning
@Serg Hello my friend ! :)
I was curious to check out the free standalone version of canonical landscape and installed it on my ubuntu server. Now I am able to manage all my ubuntu machines from a web browser. I shared my setup experience today on Ask Ubuntu to help other users ...
@Serg he's got his own linux :=)
15:43
@Serg but it's probably to FOSS for him :)
@cl-netbox looking towards the q&a, I've never dealt with landscape myself so that'd be interesting

Q: How to install and make use of Landscape On-Premises on Ubuntu 16.04?

cl-netboxAs I know that some things are changing with every new release of Canonical Landscape ... I want to find out how to install and use Landscape On-Premises (formerly Landscape Dedicated Server) on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS edition - for which the new current version 16.06 of Landscape is available. I read -...

Jacob will be taking a look at my code :))
@grooveplex oooo, nice. It's always interesting to get a professional review
I'd love to ask my python professor, but I'm afraid he probably won't have time
16:09
@Serg You know there is Ubuntu Satanic Edition ? :D
Hey @ByteCommander ! :)
Hey
not seen in a while
@ByteCommander Have you seen my new Q+A ^^^ ? That landscape management solution is a really great thingie ... :)
Yup, I did.
But I never used Landscape, so what is it good for?
@ByteCommander You can manage all your ubuntu machines from a web browser ... similar to cockpit for redhat based distros ... but way more features ! :)
16:16
So it's useless for me, I normally never run more than one system at a time anyway.
@ByteCommander Does nobody else in your family run ubuntu machines ? :)
occasionally, but I still see no need..
@ByteCommander anyway ... maybe it is useful to know how it works in case you need this in your job ! :)
Maybe. But I guess I'll look it up then when I need it. Otherwise I forget it anyway - or won't need it at all.
16:25
gg usa
@Zacharee1 please, spare me that.
no
so I have an extended warranty from Assurant
should I void my warranty now and root, and hope that Assurant will accept a hard bricked device if it comes to that?
(not telling them it's my fault :p)
or should I wait the year for the normal warranty to expire
Helpful as I am, I'd say that is totally up to you.
17:00
@Serg HA we beat your Chinese Volleyball team :+
17:15
@Rinzwind it's ok, there's bunch of other sports where China can win ;)
oh but they where listed #2 in the ranking :+) we 10th
next we take on the US (ranked #1) :D
in doubt
I have VLC in non-free
but VLC media player also but in non-free
Hmmm , I should go out and get some smokes . . . I am so lazy i don't go out anywhere :)
@Rinzwind but the other answer seems more wrong.
17:29
oh, found some spare Camels . . . Wides . . .
hate those , actually
@ByteCommander think mine was correct?
@ByteCommander not anymore :+)
How is this not spam? askubuntu.com/a/808970/530811
This person is at best being unclear, but I think it's really suspicious
@Rinzwind Hi Rinzy ! :) Have you seen my alternative answer ? :)
yes.
@Rinzwind vlc is in universe, not multiverse
17:36
yeah though so that's why I removed it
I have VLC as non-free listed but VLC Media Player too and that one is universe
17:50
@Serg got BBC4?
@Rinzwind Dunno , I don't watch TV, if you mean BBC as in TV station
yes sir
gymnastics now ;-)
user136984
Right, well, because I need to finish my Japanese course without interruption by the end of next week, my installation of Arch Linux has been delayed until next week, but it will definitely happen then... I just need to finish the Japanese before that and I have 4 more days left of that.
@grooveplex where can I find Anne Nicole
Hmmm , ok . . .
user136984
17:51
@cl-netbox: I also had a mad moment and purged all of Tox and the clients on my machine, though I kept my Tox profile... :D
@CodeX Anna Nicole Smith ? Probably on cemetery , dead
( lame joke, but i ain't best at making jokes )
user136984
I needed to reinstall it, but kind of forgot that the repositories were offline...
1) That's not Anna Nicole Smith and 2) looks like another spammer joined our community :D
oh point by point reply .. this is getting serious xD
17:54
@ParanoidPanda Hi ! :) build.tox.chat/view/Clients/job/qTox_build_linux_x86-64_release ... extract it and copy qtox to /usr/bin/qtox ... :)
@cl-netbox my comment was just a heads up
In case you were wondering
user136984
@cl-netbox: Well, I first need to make sure that they haven't been hacked or something because their repositories going offline is unprecedented...
user136984
I have written to them, but they probably won't get back until Monday or something, I don't know.
@grooveplex I did not know that it is not appreciated anymore ... it was a recommendation from someone else here ... you can remove your comment now ... :)
18:00
@grooveplex why move that one ? seems perfectly fine
@grooveplex thank you for removing the comment ... it would be nice if you could remove the ... too - (in case it was you) ... thank you ! :)
So, ladies and gentlemen, I have 62 $ in my bank account, and 100 in cash . How do I waste them best ? There's some lovely books I want to purchase.Is that good ?
user136984
@Serg: Buy Bamboo and plant a Bamboo forest with all your money! ;)
@Serg That "amount" does not really look like it's big enough to waste anything...
Hmmm , that's an interesting idea - I could grow bamboo and sell bamboo shoots to companies
yeah, not a big amount , so . . . gotta get creative
18:11
@ParanoidPanda Only if you want to annoy your neighbour.
I've got a bamboo forest right in front of my room. It's taking away much light...
user136984
I'm the reason China's running out of Bamboo... :(
user136984
I'm eating it all! :D
@cl-netbox I don't understand
but anyways
user136984
I really have eaten Bamboo though in Chinese food, it is quite nice.
I probably overreacted
user136984
18:14
Have you ever tried any?
sigh . . . . maybe one day I'll be waking up and going like "Yup, I pretty much can afford all the things I want/need"
@grooveplex ah ... shortly after the comment was removed I received a downvote ... what I don't understand, because the answer is correct :)
@cl-netbox It wasn't me :) have an upvote
@grooveplex : Thanks for your hint nevertheless ... I read the discussion now ... it is about implementing it into an answer, what I never have done (I only informed a "user since of today" about the possibility) ... :)
@grooveplex Thank you very much ! :)
18:24
@cl-netbox I overreacted, I see now
qms.li is available.
@grooveplex Everything is okay ! :)
That would make a pretty good shortened URL.
Also nst.li.
@Zacharee1 thoughts?
how much is it?
@Zacharee1 $19.57 / yr.
18:28
not bad
and for a speial domain
And it's short.
5 letters.
@ParanoidPanda Did you see that the last successful tox build is from July, 6th ? Do you know what's going on there ?
user136984
@cl-netbox: It is? No, no idea... Summer break maybe? I don't know, but I don't like it...
user136984
Something strange is going on...
@ParanoidPanda yes I think so too ! It is the same as what happened with qtox-unity ...
18:31
@NathanOsman special domains are usually three or fewer chars :p
user136984
Anything on their website?
@Zacharee1 Example?
@NathanOsman any domain shorter than 4?
it's why it's called a special domain
some really common words are also special domains
user136984
@cl-netbox: Hey, don't they have a blog or something where they announce things like this? I'm sure they do... Just try "blog" as a sub-domain or something.
@ParanoidPanda no idea ... I never found any information ... and on the tox home page still the "stone old" repo is offered -> tox.chat/download.html#gnulinux
user136984
18:37
@cl-netbox: Did you locate their blog site? It's the kind of out of the way news section they have... Important stuff like this has been in there before.
@ParanoidPanda no ... can you please give me the link to that blog site ? :)
user136984
@cl-netbox: I don't know, but I suspect something like: blog.tox.chat
user136984
I think that's what it was.
@ParanoidPanda last post from June, 9th ! Is it possible that the whole project is dying ?
user136984
Or perhaps they have been hacked?
user136984
18:42
Because I think the project was going rather well actually, apart from qTox, things were fine.
@ParanoidPanda no I don't think so ... otherwise they would have reacted - since it is a very long time frame
user136984
Well, I got updates from them recently...
@ParanoidPanda which repo ? opensuse ?
user136984
It's been only since today that the repository has gone offline. I am going to try contacting someone else in Tox. The person I emailed this morning clearly is away.
user136984
@cl-netbox: No, the tox core one.
user136984
18:44
Where qTox was available for Wily.
user136984
Where I was getting qTox from, even on Xenial because I still had it set to Wily.
user136984
And I got core updates not so long ago at the end of last month.
@ParanoidPanda strange ... stranger ... strangest ...
I get qtox updates from the suse community builds (anatonbatenv or so is the user called). Last one only a few days ago.
user136984
Well, I think I'm going to have to use Toxic.
user136984
18:51
I don't want to use something not from the main repo.
user136984
But maybe if it's now been hacked or something that is not such a good idea...
user136984
I don't know, I don't really need Tox so I can do without it for a while until I find a solution...
user136984
Plus I will be switching to Arch soon so I will sort it out when I get there and see what options are available for me.

very low cuality

very low curiosity ?!

Fun stuff
woah
How about
what is that white circle thingy
the window selector
you tap it and a little menu opens
close it, make it full screen, put it in split screen mode, etc
fancy
i am also amused by the recommendations YT makes for you
19:36
heh
'ah the shortcuts
one is dragging content from that window to another
the next is minimize to a bubble
the next is maximize to full
and then exit
19:49
looks like remix os
Android
so sort of
\ m / Wooo, my script is working, json files FTW
but it's Samsung
Now, I can just add --quiet option, and post it all

Samsung's touchwiz is big battery drainer
19:57
@CodeX not when it's the version that comes with the device :p
and people are right, actually
it's gotten a lot better
There's like no bloat on this
oh @Serg, if it makes that script any easier, it would be fine if you just made it delete the matching shortcuts and not the source files. I can just use the other script to delete everything else
and when you do get around to making it, can you add in confirmations before anything changes? just for testing for now
OK , I'll write that down

My OpenID will soon be qms.li/o

20:21
Easy to type and remember :D
Hey, maybe I can even do subdomains!
Now we're talking!
lol
that would be easier, wouldn't it?
I'm writing a web app in Go that will simplify managing the redirects.
It will work with paths.
To work with DNS, it would also need to act as a DNS server.
well subdomains can be redirected anywhere
Yes, but if they are going to be managed by the app, the app needs to be the one responding to DNS queries.
That is possible, but probably not trivial.
I'll stick to paths for now.
Hey, I can shorten email addresses too.

What's he trying to say?

@NathanOsman He's not even asking anything!
And he deleted it himself...
