Is this question a dupe of something? The answer seems to have some potentially useful information and it has 2 positive and 2 negative anonymous/low-rep feedback (the question has none), but it didn't help the OP (and doesn't explain how to completely remove fglrx)
similar question, also "unanswered" - answer has 1 up and 1 down anon/low-rep feedback
I have written a query if anyone is interested in auditing their older comments based on keywords, for example, "Possible duplicate", "Does this answer your question", "This doesn't provide an answer".
Hey @Zanna Yeah, was just scrolling through chats to see what is going on here and there. Nono, didn't feel it as ignoring. In the whole story about the post, I must say a longer term frustration about what is going on on AU came out.
Nah, this specific one is finished. At the same time, what I told someone else somewhere else. The humble ambition to create good and correct content seems to make place for self esteem and worry about not being "respected". New users seem to stumble over each other to claim their "status". This post was an archetype, if that even is a word in English. Together with the "If you push me, I'll get my big brother to teach you"
...made me kind of explode. Hate that kind of argumentation, trying to get or suggest "they say I am right" - arguments. History is full of it.
@Zanna lol I said "I'm always here" and then left... I should have said, more accurately, "I'm here frequently and I'll always reply to stuff eventually if I can"
Felt for Braiam, no intention to be politically correct but technically, he simply is always right. A quality guy we can't miss. Felt like the tiny person saying to the giant he is too small. "I got 2300 points". Sorry, just venting.
it's funny how impressions can be so distorted, like in the context of Stack Exchange you have a few statistics about another user, most prominently their reputation, so automatically your mind starts portioning respect to people based on these silly numbers
when you don't know anything else about them
I find it really hard to keep reminding myself that I'm getting the tiniest snapshot of this person via their AU stuff (and the less they have interacted, the less I know)
Braiam used to be a highly active person on AU. Sharp as a blade. Got into quarrels a few times. I mostly disagreed with him, but loved him for his unable-to-compromise opinions. He kind of left. I guess in his edit war, old frustration came to the surface.
@JacobVlijm I can't say I have personally noticed the change you mention... I mean, I feel that the kind of attitude you mention has been visible quite regularly throughout my time on AU. But, if you have noticed a change, do you have an opinion on the cause of it?
Not sure, can only give how I feel, which is hardly objective. Might be a natural aging thing. In the early days of AU, there was a generation of "builders". People who had sharp what the goals were and felt highly responsible (I imagine). Some of them still are moderators.
After years, another generation comes along, more like "consumers". Since my presence here (ten years or so) I feel the sharp vision got more and more blurred. The lines of the drawing become more vague. Like I said, the humble ambition to create good quality content was replaced by something else.
Might be a natural thing. Maybe it's me. Fact is that what happens around here and especially on Meta, I don't follow anymore. Community seems not care. If you do, got the hammered on the head.
I was looking through the Community bot's pages of revisions. Last page of Commonmark migration is 568 if anyone wants to see all the revisions. I personally won't be doing that work.
I don't think it's worthwhile to look through that many posts, at least not as a first step to seeing if there's anything that has to be manually fixed.
Once SEDE is updated, can we query for just the revisions that make changes other than adding a space after a leading #, ##, or ###?
My guess is that this is the most common change.
It is the only kind of change in most, but not all, of the posts that I've looked at.
I can't tell if this question fits the dupe target or not. Is this something that can be determined by discerning the model of the laptop from its appearance? This is the review item.
I'm going to replace my comment with one that also mentions that posting the same answer in two places is usually not good (since the post does have that problem, though it does not have the problem the reviewer said it has, or, rather, that is not actually a problem).
@JacobVlijm I am not sure I understand you, but if you are ever in search of people who care about content on AU, you will probably find some in here :)
I'm not sure the question qualifies as unclear. I wish the OP said more, but they seem to just think that's an error message. I don't think they've said the system doesn't boot.
not off-topic, since there is no reason to disbelieve the edit
not off-topic - I don't think this is effectively an attempt to report a bug or that the OP's next step should be to report a bug. Closing it as unclear might be more reasonable, but I'd be reluctant to do that without actual relevant information being requested. The current comment requests information that is not especially relevant to the problem.
@EliahKagan I don't disagree with it as there is not enough evidence against it. I'm fine with it being closed as a dupe. OP can let us know if we're wrong
@EliahKagan I was thinking about that question while sweeping the floor, and I decided it is definitely on topic enough, and I thought it might be too broad, but probably not
unclear, not a question, and not quite obvious how--or if it would be appropriate--to convert it into a self-answered question
@EliahKagan I've improved my comment on that question and also edited the post. They just need to run apt-get as root (with sudo). It's a more straightforward duplicate than I'd originally noticed.
not unclear - the answer in the comment can be posted as an answer, and there's no reason to close a question as unclear merely because the OP didn't give feedback on a comment that should've been posted as an answer
I'm inclined to think this question is not quite POB, though it's a borderline case and I can see how one might consider it POB. See answer.
