@Lazers WORDS

RedRiderX

Finding a good wallpaper for an Android tablet is interesting with that whole parallax thing going on.

Sterno

@Yuki No, helping people solve problems is bad and you should feel bad for doing it.

RedRiderX

The defaults are so good too.

Unionhawk

2:06 PM

Yeah what Sterno said. You're a bad person etc.

RedRiderX

But here's what I found m.imgur.com/a/LSzWB

For reasons unrelated to helping people, even.

@Sterno He obviously meant this

Obviously.

Yuki

Why isn't there an option to reply to messages on the starlist?

3ventic

@badp I don't know.

That was just a test btw

@RedRiderX I just use the Arstotzkan flag

RedRiderX

Oh that's also good

3ventic

2:11 PM

I use a wallpaper I got for preordering next car game

Yuki

@3ventic I know you can do it with a bit of fiddling, but I don't like having to open a new tab for the transcript or copy-pasting the URL and fiddling with it when it'd be so much easier to just add an option in the drop-down menu.

Unionhawk

Lol, silly person, we're not Wikipedia

Private Pansy

Yuki

@PrivatePansy Dammit, I really need to catch up on MLP.

3ventic

@Yuki Copy link address from the date link and scrap everything before the # and replace it with :

Not too hard, but it would be a lot better to have an option to directly reply.

Yuki

2:12 PM

@3ventic Again, I don't like having to copy-paste the URL and fiddle with it.

fredley

@Yuki Me too, I'm stuck at s04e03 or something ridiculous

Yuki

@fredley Better than me, I haven't watched a single episode this season.

Unionhawk

@badp Since other people are replying to 4 day old messages, I want to feel included.

fredley

@Yuki :o

@badp 6 HOURS REMAIN

Yuki

I wonder if anyone's posted something about that on the meta.

3ventic

2:14 PM

I love and hate it when there's a new episode every 3-6 hours..

(not MLP, obviously)

Private Pansy

@fredley @Yuki You're missing out on some excellent episodes!

Q: Please add a reply button to messages in the pinned/starred section

I've run into this a few times; I'll rejoin chat after being away for a while and notice something interesting in the starred section. I'd like to reply directly to the message but there's no reply button. Currently, the only ways to explicitly reply to one of those messages are either:- find...

Ah, that's why they haven't done anything.

If this Saturday's new episode of #MLPseason4 doesn't make you smile, smile, smile, I just don't know what will.

Q: Can we have a method to convert invalid suggested edits into their intended content-type?

I've done a fair amount of rejecting of edit suggestions over at Gaming lately, and I've noticed (presumably due to our recent surge of new users), a sharp uptick in invalid edits that should really be comments, or even answers. In one case, the only answer a question has gotten, has come in the...

2:22 PM

@Sterno The ones that try to edit instead of commenting are the worst.

Unionhawk

@GnomeSlice Sometimes I wish stuff like this pinged people, but then other times, I'm glad it doesn't.

kalina

note: statistics made up on the fly

3ventic

I just googled "android wallpaper rotation" lol

fredley

@kalina This is true of anything

Unionhawk

Because @Android and @iOS would ping literally everyone.

Yuki

2:23 PM

@Unionhawk That'd be annoying as hell to implement.

fredley

@Unionhawk Don't forget that windows mobile user!

kalina

3ventic

It always makes me laugh as a Symbian user when people think Windows is the minority

Unionhawk

@3ventic Windows is, by definition, a minority.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fredley WinMo is actually quite nice. Shame about the total lack of 3rd party dev support.

Unionhawk

2:24 PM

A minority is <50%

kalina

It always makes me laugh when I hear people still use Symbian

Unionhawk

By definition.

GnomeSlice

@kalina Finally. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

RedRiderX

@GnomeSlice oh hey it does

kalina

@LessPop_MoreFizz the OS is pretty nice, yeah

fredley

2:25 PM

@LessPop_MoreFizz Yeah. I don't understand how MS managed to cock that one up so badly

@kalina My friend has a blackberry, which he still uses as his main phone.

kalina

why?

fredley

An old school, keyboard-toting blackberry

Unionhawk

Oh god why

Yuki

@Unionhawk Since a majority is >50%, what do you call a group that's exactly 50%?

3ventic

@Unionhawk Then everything is a minority: i.3ventic.eu/20140131142534204.png

fredley

2:26 PM

@kalina It still works

Unionhawk

@3ventic Correct.

fredley

It can load* webpages

Unionhawk

Technically.

3ventic

I wonder what all those "not set"s are

Yuki

@3ventic I think the only exception to that definition is the biggest group of that category.

kalina

2:26 PM

@fredley is he a communist? Our society says we must replace all of our things every couple of years to remain relevant!

Ullallulloo

@Yuki That's just a plurality.

fredley

@kalina No, he's a management consultant

Unionhawk

Android has a plurality, but not a majority.

fredley

Lol flag

Ullallulloo

Yuki

2:27 PM

So tempted to validate that...

3ventic

Argh flags that fly-by

Yuki

But it is Friday, so I'll let it go.

kalina

what was the flag?

fredley

I can't post what it was. It was that.

Powerlord

@Yuki No, a majority is the largest group. Yes, it's always >50% with only two groups, but with 3, 34% could still be a majority if they're split 34/33/33.

kalina

2:27 PM

@fredley Steam :P

Yuki

But someone posted that yesterday or something...

Gwen

In North American English, the term plurality, also called relative majority[1] used in the context of voting, refers to the largest number of votes to be received by any candidate (or any proposal in a referendum).[2]

Ullallulloo

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice I like Rovio's animation much more than their games

GnomeSlice

2:28 PM

@BenBrocka Heh.

fredley

@LessPop_MoreFizz With the Nokia deal they could have made some amazing reliable but cheap hardware

GnomeSlice

@BenBrocka Rovio isn't actually the developer.

Rovio Stars is their publishing name, I think.

5Ants developed that one.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@fredley Eh, I don't think that's a mistake per se. Smartphone marketshare is an increasingly meaningless thing as all phones become smartphones, and I think it understates just how much of a hold on the bottom end of the market Apple has - at least in the US.

RedRiderX

You can't put a bunch of pictures in one folder on Android can you?

LessPop_MoreFizz

(Because ever since the iPhone 3GS became free with contract, Apple has had pretty significant share at the bottom of the market.)

Ben Brocka

2:30 PM

Oh huh, didn't know they punlished

fredley

@LessPop_MoreFizz The US is the exception. Android dominates the low end everywhere else.

@RedRiderX Um.. yes?

kalina

@RedRiderX ...?

Unionhawk

@RedRiderX ???.

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice Heard about that...I suppose that's why it's on PS+ next week

Q: How much of my Pokedex do I need to fill before talking to the Game Director?

I forget which city/hotel you meet him in, but you'll find the Game Director in place where Mr. Bonding normally is in a hotel room. He then tells you to, "come see me when you fill up the Pokedex more". At what point is the Pokedex filled to his liking? Does this involve just seeing a Pokemon ...
