20:00

Oh, no it's not. Well it should be.

Wipqozn

@GnomeSlice it's also meta

you don't get rep for meta

GnomeSlice

@Wipqozn No reps for meta?

Oh.

Wipqozn

anyways, toodles

Powerlord

@GnomeSlice Only for Meta.SO.

GnomeSlice

@Powerlord That's weird.

I also never understood why the 'meta meta' is on StackOverflow and not StackExchange.

Powerlord

20:01

@GnomeSlice Meta.SO predates StackExchange.

GnomeSlice

@Powerlord Well, why not migrate it then? Actually, I guess that's kind of impossible.

Powerlord

@GnomeSlice I think they're afraid people won't be able to find it any more.

GnomeSlice

@Powerlord They could make each link redirect to the other.

Wait. That's dumb.

Nevermind.

x_x

Fabian

@GnomeSlice Try to go to meta.stackexchange.com

GnomeSlice

@Fabian Wow, that was fast.

I thought it was a bad idea. Go me.

I think I scared away @badp. Again.

Powerlord

20:07

I forgot MiCamp was this week. Woo, (almost) manager free week for the rest of the week!

badp

Nah, I'm just wondering how long Google needs to suspend my account

The clock's ticking towards 30 minutes now if I'm not mistaken

Liiiiiiiive.

Powerlord

@badp Google suspended your account?

@Brant Ew, Podcast.

badp

@Powerlord I think it's doing that. Slooooowly.

GnomeSlice

@Brant :o whoaaaa

badp

20:11

My avatar was deleted for a moment and it's come back, so it's currently being so slow it's going backwards.

GnomeSlice

@badp ...I don't think that's the way it works.

Q: Can ice blocks placed in the nether be used to produce water?

The smp server I play on has a general "don't cheat, but feel free to exploit" rule. This means no using /give to spawn water blocks for placing in the nether. However, our admin recently installed the monsterhunt mod and made ice blocks one of the prizes for first place. So, do ice blocks place...

badp

Yup yup yup. Hellbanning people and putting them in read only mode isn't a particularly smart thing to do but...

See if I care, Google.

Brant

@badp: You've gone all "Profile not found" on me.

badp

@Brant Yes, somebody decided to flag me

Google is not going to get my surname, and it is not going to put it on the internet for everybody to read, and it is not going to allow anybody on the internet to send me good enough phishing

Arda Xi

20:16

Oh, lovely.

badp

so whatever. I'm just going to use Twitter more and put the longer stuff on Diaspora or whatever

Arda Xi

I didn't know plusgate was that severe.

Brant

That sucks.

Arda Xi

While I am obviously not an advocate of pseudonimity myself, and I can understand Google's stance somewhat... that's a really bad decision of them.

badp

Yeah, you know, people who hide themselves behind nicks do all sorts of evil things

You're all better off, trust me.

Brant

20:17

I understand their stance too, but they're wrong.

GnomeSlice

What are we discussing?

Powerlord

@GnomeSlice Google+ not allowing fake names

badp

Their stance is it should be easy for people to find me by the surname I tell to no one

GnomeSlice

@Powerlord ...How the hell does it know what your name is. :/

FallenAngelEyes

@GnomeSlice It requires you to enter your real name

GnomeSlice

20:19

@FallenAngelEyes Yes, but how does it know what your real name is. =/

Also, trololol.

Grace Note

I think that you are suggested to provide documentation if your authenticity is called into question

They also have bars against supposedly obviously fake names.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote And that doesn't even always work

Powerlord

My name isn't Alan Jones?

FallenAngelEyes

A friend of mine who is a photographer and a furre had her legal name changed to reflect that

Powerlord

Actually, I forgot what name the Facebook profile I have linked to my Steam account is.

FallenAngelEyes

20:20

and because it didn't sound like a "conventional" name, she spent over a month suspended on G+

Grace Note

@FallenAngelEyes Do you have some letters switched there?

badp

@GnomeSlice If it isn't extremely obvious people just flag the user

Powerlord

It's a fakebook.

FallenAngelEyes

@GraceNote No

badp

kinda like you flag posts here

FallenAngelEyes

20:21

Or yes

badp

@GraceNote I dunno, I had friends named "The Shark", "Uno Qualunque" (= "Any Body"), "voob scout"

GnomeSlice

Oh right, I can flag too.

Grace Note

@badp I said they had bars, not that they were particularly good ones.

FallenAngelEyes

"furry" is the adjective, "furre" is the noun

Powerlord

Oh yay, it sounds like SSL3.0 and TLS 1.0 have been cracked.

Grace Note

20:22

@FallenAngelEyes That I didn't call into question, it was more the "your friend is a photography?"

Brant

Gwah? Link?

FallenAngelEyes

lol

Powerlord

@Brant threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/…

GnomeSlice

@FallenAngelEyes What's a furre?

Is that like Hitler?

FallenAngelEyes

@GnomeSlice Someone who identifies as furry

Powerlord

20:24

I'M A FURRY! puts on a Mascot suit

badp

I really do wish Diaspora allowed me to import Twitter friends.

Grace Note

Isn't @Arda running a Diaspora node?

badp

Yes, that makes 2 of us

Arda Xi

I was, but I joined joindiaspora.com instead.

user30

oh yeah, I forgot, since last friday I can has g+

Arda Xi

20:31

@ThomasMcDonald You don't want to though.

user30

shush

Brant

I just deleted my google+ account.

badp

@ThomasMcDonald you mention that a bit too late

Brant

It's not cool anymore.

user30

they only let me sign up since last friday

badp

20:33

I just wish Google+ didn't mean giving up on resharing from Google Reader

I used to do that all the time

Arda Xi

@badp It doesn't.

badp

@ArdaXi Oh yes it does.

Powerlord

Google+ just opened up signups to everyone.

Arda Xi

I can reshare.

Powerlord

So, of course it's not cool now.

Arda Xi

20:33

I cannot have a G+ account.

badp

@ArdaXi I can't

Arda Xi

Your profile is disabled.

badp

Duh.

Arda Xi

Not just your G+ account, your entire Google Profile is gone.

badp

That's the whole point.

Arda Xi

20:34

That's what stops you sharing.

Not G+.

badp

If I hadn't joined Google+ my Google Profile wouldn't be gone.

There's no "AMAGAD THIS GUY DOESN'T HAVE A SURNAME HE MUST BE A RAPIST" button in Google Reader

Arda Xi

Fair enough.

FallenAngelEyes

@badp lmao

GnomeSlice

@badp I lol'd.

Grace Note

@badp Which is ridiculous

Mana

20:37

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote That would be a much funnier statement if it was a reply to his next message.

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice I noticed that when I posted after both of the responses to said message.

Arda Xi

@GraceNote 'Which' referring to Google I would say.

GnomeSlice

@Mana @MANA

Grace Note

@ArdaXi I would agree on that account considering it's their choice to implement this ridiculousness.

GnomeSlice

GnomeSlice

@GraceNote I think I'm dumb, because I've read that message 5 times and don't understand.

badp

This is pretty much accurate

> Exception: major celebrities such as Lady Gaga, 50 Cent, T-Pain, and Soulja Boy seem to be exempted from this.

Arda Xi

@GnomeSlice Yes you are.

badp

That's it. I'm going to delete my account before they do.

user30

20:40

@GnomeSlice YES

GnomeSlice

@ThomasMcDonald D: Can't stream this and the podcast at the same time.

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice "I realized that because the previous two messages in chat were responses to badp's comment about Google Reader not having anti-fake-name measures, it was easy to skim and assume mine was likewise as a result of responding to badp and being immediately following, so I looked at the interpretation and noticed that it would be amusing, albeit morbid, if I had indeed marked it as a response to that message, matching in-line with what you noted"

badp

Oh come on, I even lose the people I added on GTalk?

How many times can you do that before it becomes unfunny?

"It's highly likely people who go to MineCon will get a unique cloak in Minecraft. #cloakbasedminingsimulation"

Grace Note

20:43

@ArdaXi I take it this isn't Notch's first time doing such a thing?

GnomeSlice

I'm making a fool of myself in the Podcast chat.

I should probably stop.

Arda Xi

@GraceNote I can remember him doing that before.

@GnomeSlice You probably won't.

Grace Note

@GnomeSlice I don't think you're being that bad

I mean, I only know who Jeff and Joel are because I spoke with both of them prior to my employment, so I already knew their voices.

Posted by Robert Cartaino on August 9th, 2011

You might know Chris better as “Grace Note,” the moderator extraordinaire on our Gaming Stack Exchange.

I appointed Chris to a pro tem moderator position nearly a year ago. I wasn’t an avid user of Gaming SE, but I was continually amazed how often Chris’s name kept popping up in our moderator chat room. Chris was quickly becoming The Person to quote when you needed a clear, compelling explanation of how this community-management stuff should work. Even in our meta community, Chris was earning a ridiculous amount of rep in a short period of time. You should read some of his posts because it’s really good stuff. …

you don't know what slashdot is... I think three hours should be enough to figure it out

Grace Note

22:38

@Mana As it were, I never actually knew what Slashdot was for years, only that it existed. It didn't help that bash.org had a very similar name in sound and offensive implementation.

@badp I'll be busy doing an assignment, so it won't help

Powerlord

@MarcoCeppi: Required TF2 update that changes the physics of the Sticky Launcher. You need to update your server.

Why would you browse a group suicide meeting website??

Because it's entertaining.

Powerlord

@badp "Updated the physics for the Sticky Jumper projectiles so they behave like regular sticky bombs"

GnomeSlice

@Mana Is it .org or .com?

Powerlord

22:41

@badp It's to practice bomb jumps.

Same as the Rocket Jumper is to practice rocket jumps.

badp

...with bombs that didn't behave like the real thing?

Grace Note

So, is @badp gonna explain what he found on slashdot?

badp

Doesn't sound useful

@GraceNote I think he is too busy thinking of how long he wants to suspend me for.

badp

@grace nothing that triggered the banhappy message

Grace Note

22:42

So, are you going to note what made you banhappy or are you going to mull in silence?

badp

that was just plus and getting steamrolled in tf2 and tomorrow's exam etc.

Grace Note

"I just feel like someone should be banned" is technically an acceptable answer, as it were, if you were just in the mood rather than in the "GRARRGH!" mood.

@badp Ah. Today is one of those days. You have my condolences

Powerlord

That's weird, Valve updated a lot more .so files than I was expecting.

I'm not going to do a dwarvish laugh in the chat room because I will not be able to do it justice.

Grace Note

The best I can tell you is the reactions, which have pretty much been universally "That is the most terrifying laugh I have ever heard in my life"

Powerlord

22:49

Specifically, it causes my auto-updater to attempt to update again instead of just verifying that the version I now have matches the master server.
