@NathanOsman do you frequently use those free for commercial use pictures from places like Pexels on your websites?

Nathan Osman

I've started to use them on occasion.

If you scroll halfway down this page, you'll see one of them.

I think there might be a couple other sites I've used them on.

I have actually submitted some pictures and video to Pixabay.

Q: Is there a tutorial on how to present info on "Ask Ubuntu"?

Example: How to paste info from Ubuntu Settings Details About? Could be useful to identify my system.

discussion

migrated to meta

terdon

@Videonauth It's where it belongs. The OP is asking for help on formatting stuff for AU as far as I can tell.

Eliah Kagan

@terdon (unrelated to the above) Although I strongly feel that this duplication was correct, very few Ask Ubuntu users hold gold tag badges on meta, and I'm not sure it's really possible to be an expert on discussion in the same way one might be an expert on bash.

So I'm telling you in chat, to ensure that you know about it, and so you can reverse it (feel free) or otherwise disagree with it if you think that it is wrong. Since you're both a moderator and (based on your answer) the main person who might disagree with that closure, it seems to me that my comment there combined with this chat message constitute sufficient disclosure.

terdon

I know @EliahKagan disagreed, but the title seems quite clear and the question is "how to paste"

Eliah Kagan

2:14 PM

@terdon It was a weak disagreement. I don't really have a problem with the migration. I think the question isn't really clear enough about what the OP really wants, to support a strong argument either way.

terdon

@EliahKagan Um. How is that a duplicate? The OP of the one you closed was asking specifically about the examples raised in the post. I don't really see how it could be a duplicate.

Videonauth

so my question then is my answer still accurate or should i delete it?

terdon

@Videonauth Ask the OP. I think it isn't answering the question but, as @EliahKagan pointed out, it isn't very clear.

Videonauth

well the op thanked me and i guess i got my first UV from him

@EliahKagan I really don't see how they can be dupes. And how is my answer wrong? (it may very well be so, I just don't see why yet)

Q: Is there a tutorial on how to present info on "Ask Ubuntu"?

Example: How to paste info from Ubuntu Settings Details About? Could be useful to identify my system.

discussion

Eliah Kagan

@terdon Isn't it a more specific version of the question I duped it to? They cited and asked about specific examples, but they were really asking what to do with posts in the LQP queue that aren't very high quality but that don't meet any of the guidelines for deletion.

In your answer, you said that one should only click "Looks Good" if it is actually a good answer that one can personally verify is correct. The "Looks Good" button was renamed "Looks OK" to reflect what it was meant to mean and how the LQP queue should actually be used.

terdon

@EliahKagan I read it as asking about the specifics and not the general case. The OP was wondering if they were doing it wrong.

@EliahKagan Um, I disagree. You only click "looks OK" if you can judge that it is. If not, you should skip. I don't see how that's changed.

Eliah Kagan

Are you saying I should never click Looks OK on an answer I cannot personally verify is correct?

terdon

@EliahKagan I don't.

That pushes it from the review queue (or nudges it, you still need other votes) so if I don't know that it's a good answer, I won't say it looks OK.

Either way though, I just don't see those as dupes since the OP was (IMO) looking for guidance on their personal reviewing approach and not for the general (and very helpful) guidelines you provide in the suggested dupe.

Eliah Kagan

As a personal choice, clicking Skip in any review queue is never wrong. But I do not think the approach that you are advocating is correct, and I am not aware of any policy or consensus anywhere that would support it. The purpose of the VLQ review queue is not to delete wrong answers. It's to delete answers that qualify for deletion. These are the official guidelines about how to use the VLQ queue and they directly contradict your advice.

> [A] Wrong and unhelpful answers: If you can fix it without making an intrusive edit, do so. Otherwise, leave a comment explaining what’s wrong and possibly downvote. If there is no other problem, choose Looks OK.

As for the closure, though, considering that I closed it with a single gold-badge close vote, I have no objection to your having reopened it. What can be done unilaterally can be undone the same way. :)

@Videonauth I would not recommend deleting your answer. It seems fine and useful to me. While possibly too broad, "What general diagnostic information is commonly helpful on Ask Ubuntu and how do I obtain it as pastable text?" is a possible interpretation of the question, and it straddles the boundary between main and meta in the same way as most other ways of interpreting it.

terdon

2:43 PM

@EliahKagan To be honest, I think you're reading too much into it. All I'm saying is "if in doubt, skip".

All I want to say, anyway. Possibly not all I'm actually saying.

@terdon I suppose that could be.

So this outcome (no longer duped, but my comment is there with the links, and I haven't failed to check in with other people in the use my weird meta dupe-hammer) is an outcome that I'm entirely fine with.

TheWanderer

@NathanOsman how good are you at creating vector images?

Seth

Oh I forgot. Firefox doesn't support U2F keys still. Major detractor.

terdon

@Seth Firefox 57 does according to wikipedia.

> This addon doens't work in Firefox 57. But Firefox 57 has native support for U2F. You can enable it with the following steps:

1. Open the Firefox advanced preferences at `about:config`.
2. Search for "webauth"
3. Enable (value=True) these two:
- security.webauth.u2f
- security.webauth.webauthn_enable_usbtoken

How does that work @Seth? You have some sort of dongle plugged in and you can do everything without a password (eek!) or, I hope, it still asks for a pass but won't accept unless you also have the key?

And, if the latter, does that mean you need to carry the thing with you everywhere?

Seth

4:42 PM

@terdon huh. Wonder why it's not enabled by default. I'll give that a shot.

terdon

@Seth Presumably because it is some seriously geeky stuff. Who uses that?

Seth

@terdon I think you can do either. I have it set up as a second factor. And yes, you either need to carry it with you anywhere you intend to log in, or setup other things to be used as second factors (SMS, OTP, etc)

terdon

(you, obviously, I know)

Seth

@terdon Lots of businesses actually. And serious security people. Well, U2F itself not so much, since it's a new standard, but security keys yes.

terdon

@Seth Well yes, but not "regular" end users, right?

So it might make sense not to have it on by default unless it becomes mainstream.

Seth

4:45 PM

@terdon If they are serious about their security..

@terdon Well Chrome does sooo

terdon

@Seth I said regular end users. They're not serious about their security by definition.

Seth

It just hurts those of us who do use it, and doesn't harm those who don't. E.g. I still can't use my key 100% of the time because of FF.

@terdon Well then you answered your own question :P

terdon

@Seth Maybe enabling it means the key has to be there? So it would hurt those who don't?

Seth

and made it rhetorical ;P

terdon

Seth

4:46 PM

@terdon naw that's not how it works. The web service you're using it with still has to support it and you have to have it setup

just like any other 2FA

terdon

right

Seth

I hope it's just because it's experimental or something

I can understand that. I just wish they'd work on it a little harder. Chrome is way ahead of them in this regard.

terdon

I guess. I admit it isn't a feature I am particularly interested in.

Seth

Fair. I use it because it makes any password breaches useless for my accounts without (almost) state level ability.

@Seth I did the same ... but I have to say that firefox 57 is a great alternative ... I am happily using it. :) Hi Seth :) How are you ?

Seth

5:38 PM

@cl-netbox Today is a good day so far. My biggest gripe with FF is no "new tab" option in the tab-bar context menu. That's such an ingrained habit from Chrome.

cl-netbox

@Seth But we have the + sign to open a new tab - isn't that even faster than first opening a context menu ? I do this in chromium as well :)

Seth

@cl-netbox not when you have 20+ tabs open

also there's a difference in how it works. + button opens a new tab at the end of the tab-bar. The context menu option opens the new tab next to your current tab. Very helpful for organization.

Videonauth

Yep this i want to have too! 'open tab to the left' and 'open tab to the right'

Seth

@Videonauth I was considering writing an extension for it, but FF doesn't give you any control over where your items get placed in a context menu. It's always at the bottom :/

cl-netbox

@Seth hahaha ... I never have 20 tabs open ... :D but you are right of course - next to current isn't possible (until now) in firefox :)

Videonauth

5:44 PM

@Seth but a tip for you hold down ctrl and click on reload page ;)

Seth

@cl-netbox Until now? Did I miss an option?

@Videonauth Oh that's handy. I've been middle clicking links in pages so far. That's a bit easier tho

cl-netbox

@Seth no but maybe in a future release they will have this option - who knows ? :)

Good evening @Videonauth ! :)

Videonauth

good evening

Seth

@cl-netbox we're already at 57 xD

cl-netbox

@Seth true :D But I have a feeling that mozilla "breathes fresh air" - 57 is so much better than every other release before. Maybe they try to catch up on chromium. :)

Seth

5:50 PM

@cl-netbox Oh indeed. It's much better.

I'd like to switch to FF to get away from Google based stuff but I'm so ingrained in Chromium features..

@Videonauth If I created an extension to add "new tab before" and "new tab after", would that be something you'd use?

cl-netbox

@Seth Although I definitely like chromium, I am glad that we have a proper alternative now - competition is never bad :)
