@RandomPerson haha what should I do? Do you think the question should be reopened?

I think the question is very unclear "I tried the fix on YouTube"

there are multiple videos on YouTube

I am not interested in talking to that angry person. I would rather use my time and energy helping people who are willing to provide the information needed and be more or less civil

Random Person

@Zanna If the OP provides relevant information and if the question is not a duplicate, it must be reopened.

@Zanna yeah.. I have asked the OP for more info. and the OP shared link of the YouTube video.

@Zanna OK. I understand.

If I am not wrong, mods can see deleted comments. The OP posted a comment containing abusive words. I flagged it and it was deleted. I guess you must have seen that comment.

I found a site which is copying our community's Q&As and not attributing :(

I contacted SE staff today. Hopefully they will reply soon.

The site is: ubuntu.forumming.com

The T&Cs of that site is absolutely horrible:

BeastOfCaerbannog

12:56 PM

Yeah. I think some other user has also reported it a while ago.

There is also this one that does the same: itectec.com

Random Person

@BeastOfCaerbannog who is the user?

BeastOfCaerbannog

I don't remember.

Random Person

hmm. fine.

Please check if your Qs or As have been posted in that site.. I think you can file a complaint at Google for copyright stuff..

BeastOfCaerbannog

No, it wasn't the one you said. It was itectec.com: meta.askubuntu.com/questions/19561/…

@BeastOfCaerbannog no idea.. I tried searching a few.. but I'm a bit lazy.. I wish there was some bot which can find my posts..

The website not only copied AU's content, but also from some other SE sites..

it's a good license

@BeastOfCaerbannog hahaha

Random Person

what's the meaning of licenception?

BeastOfCaerbannog

It's are reference to the Inception movie, where the protagonist is in a dream within a dream within a dream.

Random Person

1:30 PM

yeah.. heard of it. Christopher Nolan directed film right?

BeastOfCaerbannog

Yes. Amazing movie.

Random Person

I didn't see Inception. I watched Tenet.

BeastOfCaerbannog

I haven't watched that yet, but I hear it's great

Random Person

John David Washington is awesome! <3

BeastOfCaerbannog

Cool. I'll let you know of my impression when I watch Tenet.

Random Person

1:37 PM

OK.

BeastOfCaerbannog

(^^^ I'm not sure that the syntax/grammar above is correct)

Random Person

I think "of" is not required and instead of "when", the word "after" would be more appropriate.

Zanna

@BeastOfCaerbannog seems fine to me

Random Person

@RandomPerson But I am not 100% sure as I'm not a native speaker

BeastOfCaerbannog

@RandomPerson I wasn't sure about "of". Yeah, "after" could be better.

@Zanna Great! Thanks!

Zanna

1:47 PM

:) I agree that "of" is optional there. Not wrong or bad though

AEM

Hi everyone , i just have some questions.
If i want to write link in the comment section , what is the best way to do that ?
I mean something like that <a href="https://www.google.com/">Google</a>
Mention the meaning of the link or subject without using url itself

BeastOfCaerbannog

@AEM The syntax is [Google](https://www.google.com/)

Have a look at the Ask Ubuntu Markdown editing help.

It seems that people get triggered if the OP mentions the word "bug". This question has 3 close votes for being a bug report, whereas it's probably an issue with extensions, as it seems from the comments.

@RandomPerson Yes. Here is EOL and here is ESM.

In short, EOL means that a release stops receiving any kind of updates, while ESM means that a release receives only security updates or updates for critical packages.
