@Zacharee1 Where did you get that number from?

@ByteCommander Wikipedia

@Zacharee1 I think it would be easier if each of us learned one each..

Lists of languages

This page lists published languages. {{selfref| Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:Auto languages zh_cn}} == Published lists == SIL International's Ethnologue: Languages of the World lists over 7,100 spoken and signed languages.

I'm sure they didn't take Python into account.

2:01 PM

@jokerdino we'd still have to translate then

2:14 PM

Hmm... I said I didn't like Babymetal that much, but...

This one just came up in YT autoplay after Wagakki Band's Senbon Zakura, and it sounds quite nice:

BABYMETAL - KARATE (OFFICIAL)

Maybe I should rethink my opinion about them.

I've also seen their CD in a local store recently.

@ParanoidPanda debdiff

the .deb is created by the builders after the upload by a sponsor to the repositories

o.O YouTube recommends me to listen "One hour of Soviet Communist Music"

I really don't get what they base their recommendations on...

user136984

@ByteCommander Ooh! That's some of the music I like! :D

You stole my YouTube cookie?

user136984

@ByteCommander: And ate it. :P

2:23 PM

@ByteCommander O

I guess Markdown messed up your smiley...

*O*

user136984

@ByteCommander And I can't understand why I get so many underwear adverts... Nor why every time I sign into the Google advertising settings it thinks I am a woman between the ages of 30 and 40! And it's thought that for years! It always goes back there no matter how many times I set it straight! :D

So Fabby is not the only one who thinks you are (or at least were, 20 years ago) a girl? >;D

user136984

Apparently not... :D

I never saw a single google ad anyway, blocking that everywhere.

At least not at home.

user136984

2:26 PM

I block them most of the time now, but sometimes the adblocker fails to load for some reason.

Every time I log in to a foreign computer and use a fresh browser profile, I feel like "How can one survive the web without ad blockers?"

It's just so ugly.

okay, BBL

@ParanoidPanda maybe they classified you as a panda >:)

user136984

@ByteCommander: What really gets me is that some sites prevent adblockers from functioning properly and that some are trying to pass laws against them.

Journeyman Geek

@ByteCommander heh. I have the old soviet anthem in my music library

2

user136984

@JourneymanGeek: And I have a few old Soviet military songs. :D

2:46 PM

user image

Lihu Bridge, Wuxi

sigh

we have 516 people with at least 3k rep

Can we just all go through the CV queue? It'll be gone in no time

@Zacharee1 some people need to get review badges >:-D Let them do it

they're not doing it though

@Zacharee1 nice

isn't it?

Windows 10 showed it to me on the lockscreen

that's one nice feature Windows has

I can't explain it, but suddenly I happen to dislike that picture...

2:57 PM

well. I need to know the command that fluxgui use to darken/color filter the screen

?

3:42 PM

@Anwar xflux is the command(?)

xflux [-z zipcode | -l latitude] [-g longitude] [-k colortemp (default 3400)] [-r 1 (use randr)] [-nofork]

4:06 PM

good afternoon!

@IanC Good afternoon ! :)

how're you doing @cl-netbox? All good?

@IanC Yes - thanks ... everything fine ! :) What about you ?

a little disappointed with my surfing yesterday, but I'll survive hahaha

man, the waves were great, every friend of mine was talking about some nice waves they catch, and I just sucked :/

but it's fine, I've been working on some ideas for the webpage I'm making though

been doing some progress with learning the tools I'll need :)

@Rinzwind Thanks. I knew it has a command line. But I actually wanted to know the internal commands it uses. I'm assuming it uses xrandr and other cli tools

4:15 PM

@IanC What should I say ? Cold and cloudy autumn weather here in the south-west of Germany ... surfing ? What a nice idea ... hahaha ... :)

@IanC Great ! :) When it's ready, please give me the link ! :)

Ubuntu has started showing Windows symptoms these days

Updates breaking grub, etc etc

@cl-netbox es ist ein bite kalt hier auch, aber Kalt hier ist wie heiss da! :p

please use english only

@Anwar wwwhhhaaattt ??? :D :D :D

@cl-netbox I don't have a server to host it (at least not yet) but I'll see if I can host it once it's ready

4:18 PM

@cl-netbox yeah. That's what I see these days

@Anwar was just a phrase because he said he is from Germany! I'll stop already :)

probably a phrase full of mistakes by the way

kk

@IanC Caipirinha por favor ... :) Das wäre nicht schlecht ! :) Translation for @Anwar : Caipirinha please ... :) That wouldn't be bad ! :)

The question that declares dupeness within it's body

@IanC no ...not bad ... replace bite with bischen (a little bit) ... :)

@Anwar What happened ? :)

4:23 PM

@Anwar it's a bit funny, wasn't it some mods editing?

@IanC no. It was the OP who edited

@cl-netbox I haven't practiced german in a long time, I remember I had a hard time with the gender (der die das) and declinations though

@cl-netbox lots of questions saying "I updated, restarted and it's gone"

@IanC German is a horrible language to learn ... so please don't mind ! :) I think your German is quite good ... :)

thanks! :)

4:27 PM

@Anwar A reboot is always a good idea ... the fedora developers recommend to install and upgrade software from a virtual console and reboot afterwards to avoid problems ! :)

@cl-netbox well.. I'm not against reboot. (Though Linuxes used to brag about this thing in old days) Anyway the problem is updates affecting unexpected areas

@Anwar Ill have a look

@Rinzwind Thank you :)

@Rinzwind : rinzy ! :) Hi ! :)

@Anwar it is compiled :*

4:34 PM

They didn't release source ?

nope

that''s bad :(

redshift does though

Hey @ByteCommander ! :) How are you doing ? :)

Hey.

I'm fine so far.

Today at least.

4:40 PM

why was this closed as off-topic ? askubuntu.com/questions/836090/…

oh. OP was using Mint

^

@Anwar and it is about 3rd party software not in Ubuntu ;-)

otherwise the usage of Mint should be ignored/removed/not spoken about

^ I thought about mint same

but We have questions about 3rd party softwares already

Nautilus works better in XFCE than in GNOME

@Anwar just my opinion :=) but most 3rd party apps questions are better asked on the forum for that 3rd party app

seems more logical to directly ask the creator

5:08 PM

Good evening all!

Evening.

@NathanOsman Good evening ! :)

@IanC Das Sprichwort kannte ich noch nicht. :-D

@DavidFoerster Good evening ! :)

@DavidFoerster evening

5:12 PM

I just hat my first automatically triggered git gc for a project that I wrote mostly alone. :-o

Anyone used aufs here?

@Anwar: Many years ago and only to try it out.

@Anwar only in Docker.

ah. Nice! Can you check if this answer making sense? I think unionfs and aufs both support this feature. (I only read about them) askubuntu.com/questions/421040/…

If you can even write an answer/fix that answer, it'll be great :)

Unfortunately, I don't really know much about how to actually use aufs.

Docker does a pretty good job of abstracting that away.

5:21 PM

Oh. That's ok :)

boxy! and good evening @NathanOsman :)

almost F1 time <3

@Rinzwind You are into F1 ? Max Fan ? My all time hero still is Ayrton ! :)

I was a Jos fan :=D

Also a great personality ! :)

Why do Mint usera think they are using Ubuntu while using Mint?

5:30 PM

@Anwar Because it is based on ubuntu ! :)

well. you can't say you're using Ubuntu while using Mint!

@Anwar am I too harsh with my comment? (I assume you + 1 'd my comment?)

@Anwar and what about those ubuntu GNOME users such as @ParanoidPanda ? :D

@cl-netbox ubuntu GNOME is official now

do we supply OEM installs to users? :X

5:33 PM

@Rinzwind You've edited your comment. You could be a little nicer I think :)

:D

@Anwar I know ... but it is at least exactly the same ... right ? Anyway, I always prefer originals ! :)

@Anwar like so?

@cl-netbox Not exactly same. But officially supported

@Anwar Both are based on ubuntu original and added things like DE ... official or not ... :)

5:35 PM

nope. as far as I know you can't install OEM from an official version :P
at least not with a normal install; you'd need to do some parameter settings during install I assume

@cl-netbox and Mint then adds some extra's ;-)

@cl-netbox mint has more modification

@Rinzwind " it took me less than 3 minutes to find out what you need to do." They can get hurt from this :)

Less or more ... the principal is the same : both modified ubuntus ...

@Anwar just stating a fact >:-D

and they started with the claim they researched :P all I did was copy the notice into google

but that's only my thinking. I've seen many users who are fine with these

Mint users are annoying >:-DDDD

5:37 PM

@Rinzwind hahaha :D :D :D

@Rinzwind Because they all use "Ubuntu" :D

they want a crap OS with superior assistance from AU with no effort on their part

leechers I say! the whole lot of them

@Anwar @Rinzwind : Hunt them minty users down ! :D :D :D

@cl-netbox actually Mint modifies/patches many core ubuntu packages. On the contrary, Ubuntu GNOME just uses the standard Ubuntu repo. You can turn a GNOME to Unity and vice-versa

@Rinzwind I don't have enough experience with this community. Also didn't use Mint much.

oh you are one of THEM?

5:42 PM

@Anwar Thanks for pointing it out ... yes I know this ... but what I said was just meant generally : modified ubuntus - one more, one less ... :)

@Rinzwind What about Cinnamon?

@Anwar nice when you put it in tea :+

@cl-netbox OK. I got your point now :)

@Rinzwind :D :D

I dont like operating systems with the main menu at the bottom :P

@Anwar By the way, I never ever tried mint - is it a good distro @Rinzwind ?

5:43 PM

I dont like them on the lefthand side though either _O-

@Rinzwind ha ha ha. I'm using XFCE with that exact settings right now

(since I am largely blind in my left eye my focus tends to be to the right side of a screen)

@Rinzwind We know ... you want it right in the middle of the screen ! :D :D :D

@cl-netbox hahaha. There was a KDE workspace settings like that. All things in middle

@cl-netbox I only use official operating systems. I am not that paranoid as Panda BUT I want my OS to come from an official source.

5:46 PM

@Rinzwind Hey great ! : Same with me ! :)

1 of my co-workers got an extra extra wide screen last week. 40" sideways (:X) could not get my head around it

5:59 PM

bbl. Need to watch Feyenoord drop 2 points >:-D

cya

@DavidFoerster What does that mean? Not sure what Sprichwort is :p

think I'll go out grab some lunch, don't really feel like cooking today

@IanC Sprichwort = idiom

have I mentioned before how much I freaking hate Windows?

@IanC Nope, scratch that. Sprichwort = proverb

6:08 PM

16 hours ago, by Seth

I really hate Apple, but right now I hate them less than I hate Windows 10.

and you also said this chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/201?m=32478808#32478808

Windows haters

6:20 PM

Goodbye - see you ... :)

@Seth some things need repetition

wolfy! :)

awoo!

thanks for all that rep, rinz <3

@Seth hammertime pls

it was not all me I bet :+

yeah but you got me to write that answer to try to outperform yours so....

I have 2 a's up today and the 1 I found more interesting gets 0 votes and the other crappy one got me +6 :P

@KazWolfe oh that one :D

can anyone confirm this behaviour:

1

Q: How come that compiz knows/cares about searches in firefox?

While looking at the output of journalctl -f I noticed that apparently compiz is notified about (and logs) every search I make in the entry bar (or the search bar) in Firefox. Typing into the entry bar something like results in the following lines in my log Okt 30 18:24:59 big compiz[9072]...

firefox compiz search

6:27 PM

@Rinzwind status-norepro

# Roll the first die
die1 = randint(1,6)
print("First die: " + str(die1))

logs, wai u no log things

food! bbl :)

6:55 PM

so and now for the F1 :D

user136984

7:07 PM

@Anwar You'd think, but it's actually very hard to get Unity off a system, I've already killed a few through trying and I have heard plenty of others here having trouble. Unity is just too far integrated into the system, its claws go in too deep. :P

It's a Compiz plugin.

@ParanoidPanda what do you mean? deleting the ubuntu-desktop kills anyhing unity related and {otherdesktop}-desktop will install that (and if it does not have unity, no unity)?

@NathanOsman and that :)

ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package.

Nothing will happen if you remove it :P

:P

user136984

@Rinzwind: You should try removing Unity and LightDM on a system and replacing them with GNOME and GDM. :P

7:15 PM

why would you do that seperately? :P
and I would do a reinstall when I want to that.

7:33 PM

@ParanoidPanda Do you really not know GNOME?

GNU New Overt Metrics Evaluation. It's NSA spyware made by the GNU project.

wow formatting fail

or, GNU NSA Overt Monitoring Environment. It's like the worst and most devious spyware ever made.

user136984

@KazWolfe: Oh dear! Well I hope not! :D

the project has undergone a couple codename changes over time :P

but yeah, i can't believe you'd willingly infect yourself with NSA backdoor tools.

user136984

Well, I sure hope you're joking! :D

i'm not.

Have you ever compiled GNOME from source and compared the SHA hashes to that of the ones downloaded from the repo?

They're different, because the "open" GNOME source code isn't the actual version. It's a very heavily trimmed-down version to act as a front to make the ones in the repos (that actually contain the spyware) believable.

And you want to know something even worse? GNU approached the NSA about this project, not the other way around.

7:51 PM

@ParanoidPanda he is not :=)

Here is a list of backdoors: gnu.org/proprietary/proprietary-back-doors.html
