Q: Is it appropriate to contact users offsite to question their site actions on Ask Ubuntu?

Kevin BowenI recently had a user contact me outside of SE/AU questioning one of my moderation decisions in the queue. To be clear, it wasn't hostile, but it seemed a bit odd/off-putting(?). Over the years, I've had my contact information occasionally used to follow me on twitter, contacts me for jobs/cont...

Good morning/afternoon/night
What do you think of reopening this question:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1126979/environment-still-acting-up

I had flagged it as unclear and added a comment on how to give the required info. It seems the OP has added the correct info into the question now.

I had also shared the question as an example when answering the "Are we too fast in closing questions as unclear" under meta. Here's the link:

@Parto Already casted my vote. And thank you for your valuable answer to my question on meta. ;-)
 
@Kulfy Awesome. Thank you. With the edits now, that question is now answerable. Anytime.

Q: Unable to remove time in Command Prompt with PS1

user1342124I have searched multiple threads and there is no solution to removing the time as shown below. As seen below, I am in root and echo $PS1 shows my current setting. When I set to empty, the command prompt still shows the time in bracket. I have another vm that doesn't show the time in bracket at al...

 
In this question https://askubuntu.com/questions/1126719/authentication-required-by-wireless-network-on-ubuntu-18-04-2-lts, @Pilot6 suggested "Please edit your question and add output of `lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list` terminal command."

The OP then edits the question and just adds:

> output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list terminal comman

This reminds of an incident. When I was in 6th standard, one of our teacher asked to expand (a+b)². We wrote a²+b²+2ab. Teacher said that we all were wrong. The answer is ( a + b ) ² And we were like, are you serious?

@Parto This is not the first time people react this way.
 
11:32 AM
It's like the joke on helpdesks: "Sir, are you sitting behind your screen?" "Wait....., wait........ now yes, but now I can't reach my keyboard anymore."
 
OP finally added the correct output, bit I have no idea what is the problem. Most likely a wrong password, Caps Lock, etc.

How to make an already existing tag a synonym of another tag?
 
6:45 PM
@Kulfy Uh no clue, isn't that a moderator thing @terdon, my advice would be to open a meta post about the tags you have in mind explain why and so on you would consider tag x a synonym of y.
 
I believe "iwlwifi" can be considered as a synonym of "intel-wireless". So there's no need of having separate tags.
iwlwifi is the driver name of intel-wireless cards
 
7:13 PM
@Videonauth I'm about to board a plane so I can't give you the details, but no, it isn't a mod thing. Users with a certain level of rep for a tag can suggest synonyms. It should be explained somewhere in the help center.
 
@terdon Safe flight! Bugger off!
>:-) :D
 
Bugger back! I'm on my way back home from Prague.
 
:-) Going home is always faster than going away!
 
7:52 PM
@terdon have a safe flight
