I have no problem with them making changes, letting us know they've done so, then acting on the feedback we provide tbh

But the last bit is the crucial part :P

Redwolf Programs

Fair enough, yeah

user

I'd rather they dropped a hint about this first so they wouldn't have to do all this work and have everyone mad at them too

Redwolf Programs

Hopefully they do what everyone suggested on all the vp posts and actually listen this time :p

Bubbler

Every time the Lolol challenge is bumped up, I get an upvote or two. Now I love that challenge

user

(or maybe there was already a meta post and I just missed it, but it looks like everyone was caught unawares here)

Dude coinheringaahing

11:02 PM

@user Tbf this is the normal way changes are announced

user

@Bubbler Lolololololololol

Dude coinheringaahing

and also, tons of hints about a profile redesign have been dropped

Including on a MSO question you asked :P

user

:)

They should've told us the specifics, though ("hey, we might be removing these stats, whaddaya think?")

Bubbler

Yeah, simply removing something from view could have been asked in advance

Dude coinheringaahing

That's sort of what this post is :P

@KevinM.Mansour I would love to redesign the profiles entirely, but I can't increase the scope beyond improving the responsiveness. If I'm gonna make the worst UI you've ever seen, I'd like to go BIG. lol — Aaron Shekey ♦ 6 mins ago

@Dudecoinheringaahing No, I mean even this change should've been asked about before

Dude coinheringaahing

Not sure if I should be encouraged or scared about that tbh

user

Bigger is always better, right? :P

Dude coinheringaahing

Is Aaron Texan? :P

Bubbler

Also, announcing a change after it is rolled out... apparently it frustrated lots of people

user

^

It's not a huge deal, especially to me, but other people rely on those stats for moderation and vanity and stuff, so it is a bit annoying

Dude coinheringaahing

11:09 PM

Tbch, I mainly look at the Activity tab on people's profiles, so this change doesn't really affect me. I'm more than happy to ~~criticise~~ provide feedback tho

Bubbler

~~Having something to attack is always fun~~

Dude coinheringaahing

Well, I did not know you could do that: every user's Activity page has an RSS feed at the bottom which produces the 30 most recent Qs, As and comments from that user

Redwolf Programs

Starts a feed in TNB to stalk you

Dude coinheringaahing

@RedwolfPrograms Like this? :P

user

@Dudecoinheringaahing What's that for?

Dude coinheringaahing

11:14 PM

Still waiting on the Feeds to kick in :P

Redwolf Programs

@user Feeds tracking HN, WW, JoKing, and Doorknob (presumably) :p

user

...Why?

Dude coinheringaahing

@user Its to see what the mods are up to, of course :P

user

What do they even do? Notify you when the mods post something?

Redwolf Programs

TIL IE 10+ supports websockets

Also I accidentally googled "weebsockets" lol

Dude coinheringaahing

11:16 PM

HN when he connects to the internet :P

user

._.

Dude coinheringaahing

@user I think they should post new Qs, As and comments by the mods (I chose the mods because ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

hyper-neutrino

why am I the go-to weeb example

user

Why is that even a thing lol

hyper-neutrino

there's a whole site of them /s

Redwolf Programs

11:17 PM

It's fun to make fun of mods :p

user

@hyper-neutrino Because you had an anime girl as your pfp (yes I know it was not an anime girl)

@hyper-neutrino Time to go flagging them all as weebs :P

Dude coinheringaahing

@hyper-neutrino Because you 11 people who call you a weeb :P

hyper-neutrino

oh right *bans dude*

user

Obviously, it's a sensitive thing for HN

@hyper-neutrino Which dude? :P

hyper-neutrino

@user AKSHUALLY-

@user yes

Dude coinheringaahing

11:18 PM

@user The Dude :P

hyper-neutrino

The Big Lebowski

The Big Lebowski () is a 1998 crime comedy film written, produced, and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. It stars Jeff Bridges as Jeffrey "The Dude" Lebowski, a Los Angeles slacker and avid bowler. He is assaulted as a result of mistaken identity, then learns that a millionaire also named Jeffrey Lebowski was the intended victim. The millionaire Lebowski's trophy wife is kidnapped, and he commissions The Dude to deliver the ransom to secure her release; the plan goes awry when the Dude's friend Walter Sobchak (John Goodman) schemes to keep the ransom money. Sam Elliott, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi...

user

(aside: good subreddit)

hyper-neutrino

oh they kept the site membership time display in the profile?

i thought the meta post said that was removed

Dude coinheringaahing

11:20 PM

@hyper-neutrino I think its shown to mods

user

in What are the mods up to?, 1 min ago, by Feeds

Dude coinheringaahing has removed Dude coinheringaahing from the list of this room's owners.

The room's a train without a driver now :P

Dude coinheringaahing

They're feeds, how much harm can they do? :P

Redwolf Programs

Well the mods can always do stuff

hyper-neutrino

also an RO will be automatically appointed eventually if there's enough activity

Redwolf Programs

Ironic how the mods are now the only people who can moderate the room that tracks their every move

user

11:22 PM

@RedwolfPrograms But we'll always know when they do :P

Redwolf Programs

@hyper-neutrino Wait really?

hyper-neutrino

yes

user

@hyper-neutrino It's private, so that's not gonna happen

Redwolf Programs

~~Hope it appoints feeds~~

hyper-neutrino

oh

user

11:22 PM

Unless feeds are included

hyper-neutrino

never mind then

no, feeds cannot be appointed; feeds does the appointing i believe (well feeds logs all changes to ownership)

user

@RedwolfPrograms ROBOT REVOLUTION!

Redwolf Programs

Feeds would be a pretty good RO, all things considered

hyper-neutrino

also what does that room actually log anyway

Dude coinheringaahing

Your every move :P

oh, only Qs, As, and comments?

user

@hyper-neutrino Everything you do *surveillance intensifies*

hyper-neutrino

so it won't track the real mod abuse :) (for legal reasons that's a joke)

Redwolf Programs

@hyper-neutrino And GPS coords

hyper-neutrino

@RedwolfPrograms okay but that only works if i have a physical location

user

@hyper-neutrino Also every site you visit

Dude coinheringaahing

11:24 PM

@hyper-neutrino Normally yes, but I got a buddy of mine at the NSA to change it to track everything you do, both here and IRL :P

user

@user Just to make sure you're not a weeb

hyper-neutrino

also better room name: what da mod doin

Redwolf Programs

New emoticon:

Anyone know what it could be?

Dude coinheringaahing

Steve McHaker is a solid friend :P

@hyper-neutrino ...why?

Dude coinheringaahing

@user funny

Redwolf Programs

I swear the number of college emails I get per week is growing quadratically

hyper-neutrino

@Dudecoinheringaahing cursed

exedraj

@Dudecoinheringaahing you totally missed the chance to call it "what the mods doing?"

user

@RedwolfPrograms It'll just get worse

Redwolf Programs

11:28 PM

I actually got one in the mail-mail yesterday, from University of Minnesota lol

exedraj

And now it'll just freeze after 14 days

Dude coinheringaahing

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I just made it as a test :P

user

@RedwolfPrograms Just one? Soon you'll get 10 a week, and they'll track you magically even when you move

user

11:32 PM

sus

hyper-neutrino

lol, rip

user

Someone please continue starring all of them :P

@Dudecoinheringaahing You should post on MSE and farm some rep :P

Dude coinheringaahing

You think I'd get rep posting a MSE question about RSS feeds in chat? Yeah right :P

user

I'll do it then :P

Q: Does the user feed actually link to comments?

On the activity tab of a user you can see user feed. This feed seems to include also comments - however, those links are in a strange format. I can just say that when I try them, they do not link to comments. I will use my own feed as an example. For example, I can see there the following two l...
