Bug category background is a barrier to reading
-
Seriously, the bug images in the background are distracting and make it harder to read than it should be.
-
Also no parallax effect
Booooo

WHAT THE?????

I'm taking the bug category off this, cause really its not a bug, at least not our bug, I do completely agree, this image is oppressive.
-
Best thing I can gather is that it is designed to make reporting bugs harder.

OK, so it was a local admin or something? @apapadimoulis / @PJH / @dhromed ?

Yeah, in another topic I posted this:

I stand by this video.

I had a feeling, but I figured the easiest way to find out was to force the issue by "filing" a bug report.
EDIT: Bonus blakeyrant:
USERS DON'T CARE IF IT'S THE SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS OR THE SITE ADMIN. JUST GET RID OF THE FUCKING IMAGE!

My finger is itching to create the

Well, either you're about to come into some money, or you have finger herpes.

I've seen references to the @codinghorror badge, and it's funny, but I think I'm missing the real / intended joke. Or maybe not.

Hello!

Ah. That's what that was about.

Using only youtube is a barrier to reading when your employer blocks it because he thinks one should do more productive things at work

Do it man, but while you're at it, could you please create the
@nagesh
badge and assign it to @codinghorror?

Also, @mikeTheLiar has been waiting a long time for his Worst of the Worst badge.

I don't think anyone here would see it as a transgression :-)

Your job is a barrier to discourse.

So, essentially your employer thinks Youtube is a barrier to productivity?

It's not that bad. You could have a machine without a sound card!

I thougth that these days onboard sounds was rather common on standard mobo's. Playing music is allowed as long as it is not streamed.So, essentially your employer thinks Youtube is a barrier to productivity?
And Facebook too. But not Twitter or Google+. Still not sure if this is because the sysadmin has an account on the later and not the former or just the other way around.

That's the thing: it's not standard. I'm actually using one of those desktop server things as a workstation. Intel board, Xeon CPU, that kind of deal.
Guess they never intended it to play audio. Or use with a desktop OS either. The GPU is... yeah, whatever it is. And it's an older one and it has that weird PCI-X slots, so I can't really just jam a decent GPU in it.

Use a usb soundcard? Or a usb-headset thingy.

I have my laptop with me anyway. And a pair of stereo Bluetooth headphones. So really, it's not that big of a deal unless I forget I have to paste the URL to the laptop instead of just clicking.

Extra Shitty? I can only assume the 1000 refers to the number of machine instructions it can process every second.

Sounds about right. There is no greater fun than watching the window redraw after you move it. That's why I mainly just fullscreen everything.
Weirdly, AltTab is fine. So is switching virtual desktops. And, for some unknown reason, LXTerminal is fine with moving it around, XTerm shimmers, and Gnome-terminal takes ages to redraw. Weird shit.

$(window).on("scroll", function(){ $('.category-16').css('background-position-y', window.scrollY ) })
-
I think you misinterpreted mod transgression as exactly accepted idea.
-
body.category-16 { background-image: none; }
I started using this custom css, about 5 seconds before @ChaosTheEternal suggested it to me.
-
Problem is, like I said elsewhere about spoilers, since custom styles aren't a provided feature of Discourse, the workaround isn't available everywhere, but the annoying background is.
-
But when you can use it, the relief is like a cool, clear waterfall.

Ahhhh!

Spent some time at a place where Youtube was OK, but Google+, Gmail etc were all blocked. The status on Facebook was somewhat unclear, they had managed to block parts of Facebook - unless you were on connecting via https (i.e., always), then everything worked.
Google Docs/Drive were a big no because of the possibility of data theft. Presumably, stealing data via rapidshare or similar was OK, though, since it wasn't blocked.

Yeah I'm guessing we should add a background to topics in the core style, similar to what was done at Turtlerock so someone would have to create custom CSS to make such a poor decision.

It can be.

To be honest I think he would find this site to be a barrier to productivity too.

Well, it did put me through nearly a month of the "I'm-an-intern-and-nobody-gives-a-fuck-about-me" state when I would, for example, be asked to tinker with a project, which took 3 days to set up the TFS/SQL/etc. permissions by two different admins, and 5 minutes to fix.
So thanks, guys.

Definitely!

Why were they permitting any access at all, given that they were that paranoid? Seriously, if you've got something where it being stolen would be a critical loss and it's of high value to other businesses (other than to shaft you guys) then you keep that data firmly offline. That's what we do with things like raw census data and CPU layouts; if people want to access them, they have to go to the physical location of the data (a secure room) and work with it there, not just sit at some random office elsewhere. (This does mean that we can have the rest of our network relatively open; our firewall is really light touch for most systems.)But if you're letting some things through and blocking others effectively at random, and not segregating your secure stuff from the wider net properly, you're just being silly and letting the sysadmins get jollies for not practical effect. It's just security theatre, but even less effective than most of the searching at airports. Congratulations! You're less useful than the TSA!

Yes, that would be sane.
IMO, what was going on at that place was definitively more of a security theatre than actual security. I guess that part of the problem was their attempt at integrating the location I was at (a R&D centre) with the rest of the corporation (mostly manufacturing). There was seemingly a constant struggle to ensure that everybody at that location had access to the tools and software they needed to do their jobs, but without running afoul (too badly) of the central IT administration. So, my guess is that they ended up doing the security theatre thing to keep central IT happy, but avoided much of the implications so that people actually could do their jobs. (Yeah, this results in a fair share of WTFs.)
For what it's worth, I don't think that anybody worked with data so critical that leaking it would have affected the company as a whole and/or given competitors a critical advantage.
