I don't even know where to begin…Also, my usercard is more brokenerer:

Just noticed that.

Glad to see Jeff as professional as always.

Also, what is that baseline thing the UI designers keep yapping about?

Original, in case of Jeffery-holing:
Why would you have a mention anywhere else? To refer to another user.
-
Yeah, I was a little put off by that, so I made sure to respond in kind.
-
Be advised, you have to tread carefully over on meta.d

Yes, simply asking for specific data instead of vague numbers can get you suspended until "a 15" of the current year. If Jeff's in a particularly giving (taking?) mood, he'll also delete the corresponding bug report with the "promise" that it will still get fixed.
So be careful, but DON'T PANIC.

Ooh, it's a discobug.
Why is there no category visible anywhere in that link? Just because I'm not logged on or another victim of bikeshedding?
-
I don't think it's in a category.
The category shows for other topics there.
-
TIL a topic can have no category
-
There's an uncategorized category - the visibility of which is configurable. You can't see it here, so we can't have topics without categories visible to non-staff but you can on meta.d.
Strictly speaking it's in the uncategorized category, because Discourse.
-
Oh look, the meta.d thread was closed. This is my shocked face.
-
After @riking fixed the issue, what more was there to discuss?
-
The thread says nothing about @riking's pull request actually being accepted. So, given You-Know-Who's history, it's not terribly unsafe to assume that the closure was for other reasons. No?
-
He only accepted it three days before he closed the topic.
-
Good for him. Too bad it wasn't mentioned in the topic itself. Oh well. But hey, you proved me wrong, so have a .

This is the aftermath of that topic between me and @riking after flagging the OP
Filed Under: Felt like sharing! Be wary of @riking. I am still not convinced he is not psychic!

My favorite part of this is that something that is explicitly supported (mentions in usercards) - as evidenced by the fact that someone actually added that functionality in the first place - is somehow "bizarre".Or is it just a side effect of the Discourse everything-is-a-thread idiocy? Are usercards threads?
-
I posted it in the "bug" category though.

Stuff just kind of happens. It's not like there's a big formal process to decide what gets explicitly supported or not. But there is definitely a stuff-that-Jeff-does. Anything that isn't a part of that stuff usually doesn't get past the Jeffilter installed in front of the memory parts of his brain unless there's a paying customer on the other end of the conversation.

... Does that imply that people pay for Discourse?

Whoops.

They somehow sold this turd to the morons running BoingBoing.
To give you clue how stupid the people running BoingBoing are, one of their posters is the guy who invented the whole Creative Commons license concept, right? Yet despite that, they would frequently use Creative Commons No-Commercial licensed images on their (ad-supported, extremely commercial) blog. For years and years they engaged in this hypocrisy.
To be fair to them, they stopped doing it once an artist actually called them on their bullshit and gave them a DMCA or something. But still.
-
I thought he not only wrote there but owned the damn thing.
-
Whatever, the point is: he was the world's hugest hypocrite and didn't do anything about it until actually threatened with legal action.
-
Oh, I wasn't disagreeing. Hypocrisy is the fuel of the modern innerwebs.
