Has anyone read @Nagesh's profile?
-
at least he's giving us gifycats rather than gifs... those things are monsterous!
-
The gifs were a lot better than the gyfcat crap. At least if you're using chrome. Sometimes. I remember before, they caused me some problems until they didn't.
-
never had problems with Chrome and gfycat before.
now android broesers and discourse? problems...
-
Discourse can ban users as @Matches discovered on meta.d.

Snort. What'd you do, @matches? I didn't really start reading the what.tdwtf until after @codinghorror left, I think, even though I apparently created an account in May (maybe mine was one that got migrated? I dunno.)
Given @apapadimoulis history, I doubt he'd ban ben, and honestly I'm generally not in favor of banning without extraordinary reasons, kind of how ESR operates his own blog (as in, he allows trolls as long as they're interesting.)
I think ben's tedious enough I'd squelch him but don't think he's bad enough to be banned.
-
Which time? I've been banned twice. I'm about to file about 105 bug reports which will probably result in a third ban.
-
Honestly, @ben_lubar really isn't that bad It's just the whole thing of the huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge gifs is kind of a PITA.
-

If I didn't know you'd been banned once, it's not likely I'd know you'd been banned twice, so how about both of them?
Honestly, Atwood's "I don't use that feature so it's not worth fixing the bugs" is exactly the self-defeating kind of thing that is a problem for FOSS, because one of the chief arguments against it is "FOSS devs only fix the things they find interesting."
Microsoft at least supposedly uses telemetry so they only ignore stuff that nobody uses[1].
[1] Shhh, don't bother arguing, I only said that to annoy people[2], it's not a point I'm going to spend any time trying to defend.
[2] Like the anti-blakeyrat.

The first time was because I called him out on deleting my post without any sort of notification, which he then deleted, and I called out again.
The second time was because I posted to their bugs category a browser crashing bug that you had to click on my profile to trigger.

Who would that be?I didn't have any particular person in mind; just someone who has the same prejudices against Windows that @blakeyrat has against FOSS.

Ah, so you're a troublemaker[1].
[1] I was going to link to that girl in Episode 7 of Doctor Who saying "I'm a disruptive influence" but Youtube wants $2 to view it, so fuck that. Also: searching for that line takes you to the episode, so there's, as I mentioned before, some kind of smarts going on in their search, but either I had the line subtly wrong or nobody's posted the clip yet that BBC hasn't taken down.

To be more precise, I would say hatred as opposed to prejudice, and it's not just against FOSS. It's against any software that doesn't work the way he expects it to, especially if the difference is something that could be resolved by spending some time learning about how the software was designed to work.

This pendantry is almost dickweedish but I'll respond anyway.
I think there's a definite category of hating FOSS. It may primarily because of what you say but much of his vitriol is specifically aimed at FOSS; that subset is what I was going for.
-
Pedantry aside, I'm not sure if we even have an anti-blakeyrat here under your definition. The vast majority of us work in the IT, and for most of us that means having to use Windows on a daily basis. So we would know more about Windows than the general population, at which point it's no longer prejudice.

That's OK. I was talking, perhaps, about more sort of a Platonic ideal.

Given @apapadimoulis history, I doubt he'd ban ben,
MPS is the only person who, that I recall, ever got banned.
Twice, after he came back as Farmer Brown.
(Well TunnelRat could have been a close second, but he left before pissing everyone off. Both happened before I became mod/admin.)
@Matches' punishment on meta.d was only a suspension as I understand it? Though while there's a
Blocked?
entry on the admin page for a user, there doesn't appear to be any UI to set it:Changing a user's email address then password seems to be the only way to permaban someone...

That's what I was thinkng of.
-
Oh I got on the phone with the owner.
bbbbbbbbbbbbblllllllllllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh
I'm customer # 787392001029, and I'm not going back.
Yeah! Stick it to the man!
-

Yes, the problem is gfycat oneboxing is buggy so he chose to link to the GIF instead.
Which made us download a 30 MB GIF instead of a 3 MB WebM.@ben_lubar, next time link directly to the webm, okay? Like you've done before.
-
oh that..... yeah. that bad. bad @ben_lubar, bad! no cookie for you!
-
Hah,
I'm not sticking anything. Like they care about one customer.I'm just saying exactly that, they don't care. I'm just another # served.
So, I might as well find another business that doesn't care, but does things the way I like.
-
I was going to link to the webm, but Discourse refused to embed it in an easy-to-play format.

That's because it knows nobody cares about DF videos.
