terdon on strike

Oh well. Worth a try :)

Here, @JourneymanGeek. Can you see who starred your "possibly"?

Ah yes, that's actually one of the more common examples of spam.

If y'all start singing the Hanson song, I'm out of here.

As others said, Unix & Linux is the best place to ask questions about any Linux distribution.

@PeterKolosov definitely not on Stack Overflow, that is only for programming and tools used for programming, so general operating system questions are off topic.

I haven't had a dependency issue in 5 years or so, not since switching from LMDE to Arch.

Looks like folks are downvoting instead of flagging

Been there for half an hour already

This whole AI thing just makes me think of the vulgar Greek (OK, Turkish, but used in Greek) saying "AI sichtir".

It is, yes.

Ah, that's a shame. The greatest gift my parents gave me was raising me bilingual. Getting two languages for free is really useful. Admittedly, of the two, English is more helpful.

Do you speak Greek?

Oh? So am I! Half, I mean, my Dad's American and my Mom's Greek, but I was born and raised in Greece.

Or, at least, it's prejudice born of experience :P

(Oh, I am Greek by the way, that's not just prejudice :) )

It's a great place to visit. Less great if you have to live there and deal with the bureaucracy.

And I'm in Athens at the moment, so it shouldn't be a country issue

@BeastOfCaerbannog works fine for me

@vidarlo remember that smokey is down (there was planned maintenance anyway, but charcoal has joined the strike so it won't be coming back up soon)

Precisely

@RandomPerson The AI issue is just the tip of the iceberg. Yes, we have a problem with AI, but we have an even bigger problem with the company (SE) imposing policy that goes against site consensus, breaking their promises, and telling mods one thing in public and something else in private. See meta.stackexchange.com/q/389811/241717 for more detail.

@vidarlo it was a mistake, apparently. It's been re-featured now by the same person who unfeatured it.

Oh yes, they have explicitly told us they'll unfeature ay post mentioning the strike itself. But the SF one didn't mention the strike which is why it was so weird.

I guess the cache caught up with the name change.

@vidarlo Apparently it was a mistake. I mentioned it in the TL and was told the staff member who did that had many tabs open and acted on the wrong one. Which, to be fair, can happen to anyone. It's been undone and re-featured now.

um... 3? something like that

Yes

sigh... hurts to see, really

Me neither. I avoid it like the plague, actually.

I call it football soccer anyway, so for me it's normal :)

Ah really? You guys call rugby football? Didn't know

@BeastOfCaerbannog yep, thanks

@andrew.46 They would? I thought only the US called it soccer because of American football.

@andrew.46 Nah, just a given name but not one you're likely to actually see these days, so it's a bit funny

Oh right yes, you would recognize it :)

Using my sock to avoid moderating by mistake.

I'm terdon, by the way. Stupid caching...

Of course, this is SO, so the first few pages are the past few minutes so it might not mean much.

Huh, I see the same pattern on SO. At least o the first few pages, no questions have answers

leave me alone, you horrible mods! @terdon

Try superpinging

I think you wrote something, and I can't see it.

OK, done

(terdon here)

gimme a sec, I'll put you on ignore

In an incognito tab. For science.

Also, hi! I'm terdon's sock.

Yep, confirmed. You can't see deleted messages even when using the script unless you're a mod/room owner.
