Triggered by a question where the code was provided via a link to Instagram and by the existence of the code hosting service Instacode, I’d like to suggest implementing hipstery image filers for code posted on Stack Overflow:

Yeah, but then what? We're going to propose him a "solution" which he can always undo. He is asking for a solution which is irreversible but temporary... like, impossible.
Is there a package to disable network access? Like a child monitoring thing? Take the user out of sudoers and have a friend set the parental control password.
Access to our computer (not only to the internet) needs to be restricted for the accounts of my kids (7, 8) until they are old enough to manage this by themselves. Until then we need to be able to define the following:
the hours of the day when computing is o.k. (e.g. 5 - 9 pm)
the days of the ...
Does anyone know of a good way to set up some sort of parental controls so that one user account is subject to them, but not another?
A couple of friends of mine use Ubuntu and have kids (7 to 10 years old) who use the family computer. They'd like to have some blocking of adult sites. They're no...
^^ that. DE isn't the only factor in performance, but it is a larger and larger factor. Openbox performance versus Unity performance on low end hardware for example
I'm not touching it. The question should read is Cinnamon more performant than Unity. And the answer should be a table containing usability feature checkboxes and speed benchmarks for each DE. A restatement of my previous we need benchmarks comment.
video temperature and video chop occurring would be another one. non-compositing desktops or fake compositing desktops perform a LOT better in those areas
i don't know of a way other than human eyeballs to test video chop. that's one of my biggest reasons to use lightweight desktops now. recently (last year or so) you'ld get a lot more chop
to be sure, i would high rate the convenience items of unity. i'm not willing to sacrifice my video not breaking up for it though. so i'm on the fence. i think it's finding the right test bed.
Meh. For me it's really just "Is it easy to install, will it be easy on my eyes once it is installed and will it manage not to break something?" Don't care for anything else.
i don't see a point in sticking with quantal. stick with precise, or push forward with raring. either LTS or latest. anything in the middle is...not as complete a user as you are.
i hope so. i understand what unity was trying to do, and it was good. it's just not as for me on underpowered hardware. i did use it on the desktop before it went away.
@jrg my first computer was a tandy, then windows 3.11/dos 6.22(oddly highly performant games required me to exit the windows DE), then with windows for a while, then about 4 years ago popped to linux when what is now legacy gnome was the norm, then on unity i'm on both sides of the fence for DEs depending on the hardware.
I have a laptop with a cruddy CPU and respectable ATI card. Its about 10 times as fast in the john-the-ripper benchmarks as anything else in the house, so its the monster.
everyone wants ppl to switch to kde. i do find it interesting that (correct me if i'm wrong here) unity was written on qt then thrown on top of a gtk based DE
"""Setting intrepid as invalid as it's already EOL.
As this bug is marked as fix released, the better is that somebody that still experiences it in a supported Ubuntu version creates a new bug for it. Then, he/she can link there to this bug report for extra completeness. Thanks."""
@Mechanicalsnail yes. so if someone reads to the end of the thread, they see that piece of data. it may not be possible to comment on a closed bug, i haven't tried. if that's the case, it should be filed as a bug against launchpad itself citing this as an example
that way, you probably fix or get in the fix queue two bugs at once
i'm fetching the source to try a build and see if it just works. it may be that the current deb-src works and it just needs a build trigger. would explain the bug closure
The strange thing is, I was aware of KDE doing that, but I didn't have a problem installing 4.9. My other WMs were kept intact. Guess I was lulled into a false sense of complacency. This install was mildly brutal.
i just did an apt-get build-dep. apt-get install photoprint(to confirm the bug). apt-get remove photoprint. apt-get source. debuild -us -uc. dpkg -i photoprint.
Oh, I have. Believe me. I don't miss the days of building an install off of 24 floppies of Slackware. I might do a Linux from Scratch build this year to refresh my pain.
Just curious, if anyone can tell me. What is going on with the AU troubleshooting tool. I've been seeing folks talking about it, in chat here, and was wondering if I could help with any testing. This is George Edison's baby, no?
@Mechanicalsnail and you saw where i commented on that bug. i referenced the room here with the screenshot. should get the bug resolved "easily" but not necessarily the underlying issue.
@Mechanicalsnail I think so. I don't know where to report it though.
I think it would be launchpad or libtool with a cursory glance. To be fair I don't have a thorough understanding of either at the source level. This is just based on symptoms and things I notice during build process.
