Ubuntu Regulators

yeah I get you now... I don't think we need that question so I would leave the downvote. Maybe I should have taken the action you did, to avoid CV queue, but I'm too cautious about flagging. I see the answer has not been deleted yet. This way we are safe even if that does not happen - the Q is closed, and if the A does get deleted, then Q will be deleted, which is fine.

Anwar

ok. i'll leave dv there.

Zanna

@Anwar :)

haha that was a ramble from me! I should have just said I think Q can be deleted without hurting AU

Anwar

6:57 AM

oh. do you hear sound when anyone mention in the chat? we used to hear sounds. but now i don't hear anything

bbl

Zanna

7:12 AM

no I never hear sound, but it's mainly because there are no Linux drivers for my sound card ;)

thanks for reviewing my cards ^_^

Anwar

oh ... :)

we used to hear sounds. I even wrote a meta post about it. don't know if that's removed

Zanna

7:40 AM

For anyone reading back, here is the start of where I apologised in the other room for what happened earlier chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/32592525#32592525

idk if you can shed any light here @jokerdino it seems like technically you comment-answered the Q askubuntu.com/questions/375298/… (although I can't remember a single thing from 2013 myself...)

jokerdino

9:51 AM

@Zanna oh

jokerdino

10:33 AM

@Anwar someone VTCed that..

Anwar

hmm... not us I think

jokerdino

yes, none of you

Anwar

that's good

jokerdino

@Zanna just gonna close it as a bug.

Zanna

10:57 AM

thanks, I archived the card :)

Zanna

11:51 AM

so my current thinking, please find the problems...
make 3 new lists on the board - skipped by A, skipped by Z and the blacklist
--
workflow for Anwar & Zanna:
while looking at card from To Be Reviewed, if fixable, move to reviewed by $ME, else, move to skipped by $ME
while looking at card from Reviewed by $NOT_ME, if agreed, archive, if unsure, move to Reviewed, if disagree, comment here &/or leave a note on the card
while looking at card from Skipped by $NOT_ME, if agreed, move to blacklist, if can fix, move to Reviewed

Zanna

12:28 PM

@jokerdino I think I don't fully understand what you mean by this (just saying because I'm still thinking about the subject)

Problem: what to do with current pending/unsure/deferred list (which is obsoleted by my new suggestion)
suggestions:
- move the whole lot to blacklist & forget about it :\
- move it back into To Be Reviewed and pretend it never happened :\
- try to go through it now together and fix if possible or move to blacklist through discussion

Zanna

1:58 PM

Btw, I think this is a silly comment, but if it were a comment on my answer, I could answer all those questions (I don't think it's worth editing the answer, so perhaps it's not worth answering the comment) askubuntu.com/a/824788/527764

jokerdino

2:21 PM

@Zanna that works for me.

@Zanna also cool with third option

@Zanna it looks like a response to your answer and you can choose what to do with it

Totally up to you.

@Zanna what I mean there was we should have a mechanism to expire old questions in order to ensure those that are not relevant anymore (supposed bugs fixed by later updates,, use cases that are not needed anymore, issues that OP has but have since been resolved by either upgrading hardware or simply because he doesn't care anymore and all other similar things) are culled from the site.

If we get rid of such irrelevant questions, we can then better focus on all the relevant stuff.

If what we closed as irrelevant turns out to be relevant even now, those questions should be asked newly. This is because asking it newly gives a lot more significance to it compared to several years old question. We are reducing the burden of duplication of the person asking it newly by handing him a clean slate of sorts.

I doubt I am making any sense right now but it made sense to me yesterday and even now. I am just not sure how to articulate what I mean.

Zanna

@jokerdino Thank you for taking the time to elaborate I was just feeling that, in articulating my own version of this, I can't get that point clear. I need to think more.

@jokerdino ah great, as long as @Anwar agrees with it

@jokerdino phew :D

@jokerdino ok... please could you make it into a comment on my answer, and I will reply to it later?

jokerdino

2:54 PM

@Zanna Done

Zanna

<3

jokerdino

@Zanna yes me too. It's hard for me to explain that point better but I can try again from scratch later if you need a clearer message.

Zanna

4:11 PM

@jokerdino oh please don't trouble yourself... eventually I hope I will be able to write my own thoughts, I just need time. I'm slow like that.

Zanna

4:43 PM

@jokerdino hmm how to commence...

jokerdino

@Zanna Oh sure then. Why are you writing them? Anything came up on meta?

@Zanna good question

Anwar

4:58 PM

@Zanna Nice workflow! Agree with it.

sorry that I couldn't make good contribution to it lately

3

stop fixing problems

@Anwar great! :D

I linked that because we might be doing some of that when we are deciding on a workflow.

Zanna

@Anwar you have been contributing, as evidenced by the activity feed, I just archive the cards you reviewed asap so @jokerdino can't do them first and thus end up reading every single post...

jokerdino

5:10 PM

Noooooo

Zanna

@jokerdino accurate.

jokerdino

and the mouseover text too

Zanna

Back shortly...

jokerdino

Wait a second, how did that get 3 stars? We only have 2 active users. O-o

Anwar

mod power?

jokerdino

5:17 PM

No, I didn't do a thing.

Zanna

5:44 PM

Maybe it was @edwinksl, he sees everything

edwinksl

it may or may not be me

Zanna

@jokerdino er... bad self-answer, we just pick cards, dump some links in here and we can discuss?

jokerdino

sounds good

Zanna

@jokerdino no my idea is to write something only for my own peace and to give to you in case it's any use

@jokerdino ok :) I think we need to make those new lists, so we have somewhere to move the ones we cannot fix

jokerdino

6:04 PM

@Zanna oh that's cool then.

I also sometimes write as a cathartic exercise.

@Zanna You got powers.

Zanna

6:21 PM

@jokerdino Oops sorry... now I've done it

So... ??? askubuntu.com/questions/285055

Some already have notes from me and @Anwar - if I agree with Anwar's skipping, I think I should move straight to the can't fix list

For example askubuntu.com/questions/460423

jokerdino

6:53 PM

I think we could do something about these two.

Keep them around for now. We'll nofixlist it later.

Anwar

wrote a very ugly ruby script. but it retains comma. will it help?

bbl

jokerdino

7:08 PM

yes

Zanna

7:20 PM

@Anwar I just use tab instead, fixed it, but thanks for the script :D

@jokerdino the first one I thought so, I skipped but I think you guys can fix. The second one... broke my plan then :p

I don't know this later, so I am just going to wait for you to tell me and carry on with what I can do :)

jokerdino

I wish we can transcribe the video or something.

And I feel there is an answer somewhere in the first question as well.

Because of these reasons, I am not sure if they should be in NoFixList.

Zanna

8:12 PM

@jokerdino ah now I am ashamed. Thank you for reminding me again to care enough askubuntu.com/a/460431/527764

you are amazing

jokerdino

You are saying things I should be saying.

Seriously, what was that? OMG, that is incredible. I am ashamed because I can't put in that kind of effort..

Zanna

It was not much effort really. But I can only do such things because of you

jokerdino

That's not true at all.

Zanna

I am not going to have that kind of argument now because it's much too late 5 timezones ahead of here

jokerdino

8:33 PM

Yes, I will continue it in the evening tomorrow.

Zanna

;)

Zanna

8:44 PM

I VTC this apparently, and I can't do so again, but the problem literally went away by itself askubuntu.com/questions/281952/…

edwinksl

@Zanna ok i VTCed as no-repro

Zanna

thanks! :)
