It stopped being funny some time around 1975.
It's funny when it's applied to something inappropriate. Otherwise, it simply has important connotations about something being a scandal. I'm more annoyed by people being annoyed by -gates than I am about the term -gate.

Definitions of funny are per force rather fluid
-
So, we're starting an annoyancegate here?
-
nah. i think this is -gate-gate.
-
Can we please stop calling everything *gate
Sure, just as soon as everyone starts using infer/imply, affect/effect, and principle/principal correctly.

Interestingly, discourse is now usable on windows phone. Because of edge, not because they've fixed anything.

Bolded the part of the sentence that doesn't make sense.

IKR. But it's true.

What are you trying to infer? Should I be implying something?
Your microaggressive stance has a negative affect on me. Don't make me effect a defensive stance.
I must go see the principle to discuss her horrifying lack of principals.

I see what you did their.

Fun fact: Jeff just (well, last week) memory-holed all references to alternative installs of Discourse. You need to travel back in time to before 1.4 was released and fire up your markdown interpreter, and know that that's what you need to do.
Otherwise, Discourse inside Docker on a Digital Ocean droplet or don't damage the door as you depart.
*sigh*

What purpose does this serve? Is it because of that Installing Discourse is hard blog from last week?

TURING FUCKING DAMNIT, THE LINKS DON'T WORK!
Yes, I know, we already knew that, but it just bit me on the ass again. They broke the fucking "open all links in new tab" option. FUCK!
Fuck you Discourse. And if I could go to meta now, it would be ignored anyway, because why the fuck would I want links to open in new tab by default? Why would I want to avoid 25 second load times and random jellypotato nonsense every time I click a link?
No, "open all links in new tab" is a plugin or something, and I distinctly remember several people here went to complain about it. Well, suits us. That's what we get for Doing it Wrong™: the most broken implementation of
target="_blank"
ever!
FUCK!

This is what happens when you encourage people to write a plugins for an undocumented API without the promise of any kind of stability for that API.
Damn you CDCK. Damn you to ... What's worse than Belgium?

I thought the lack of documentation and completely lack of assurance that the API wouldn't suddenly change was implicit discouragement from the COCK team for plugin writers.

Get them a copy of this book:

I know! Make them read the entire Lambda Papers collection! Only a Lisp weenie like me would enjoy it, so I'm sure it would be like nails on a chalkboard to them
On second thought, that might give them ideas...
Eris knows they need some, but even so, it wouldn't end well.

What the fuck is that cartoon? I know it's from 1993, when cartoons still weren't allowed to be funny, but still-- that's exceptionally unfunny.
Also, Discourse told me there was 1 new post to this thread. I clicked. It took me to your second post-- which is actually 2 new posts into the thread. So I had to scroll up to read your comic.
Pro: Discovered another Discobug
Con: had to read your comic.Final verdict: Fuck.
-
Actually, it says 1973. It one of the Crunchly strips that Guy Steele wrote (even he'd agree that saying that he was 'drawing' them is an exaggeration) when he worked at the MIT AI lab.
And no, it wasn't funny then, either. But at least it was topical, I guess. For some reason, the 1981 print version of the Jargon File (The Hacker's Dictionary) included several of them, and ESR kept them as a historical oddity in the later versions, including the one online at his site. Of course, this was before ESR went bugfuck nuts, or at least before he was doing so in public.

I was hoping it was from 1973 where the Watergate reference would be current. (Get it? Bugs in the water gate? Like bugging rooms in the Watergate Hotel? GET IT? LOL?????) Looking at the copyright again, it could be either...
-
It is 1973,but I doubt that was on the author's mind when he wrote it.
For once, it would make the comic maybe slightly funny.
-
What else could the joke possibly be then, if not a Watergate reference?
-
Guy L Steele is probably going to be remembered as the guy that helped invent all those programming languages, rather than the guy who drew some terrible comics...
Filed under: kind of like finding out that XKCD guy actually invented Visual Basic or something..., emacs isn't a programming language.
-
Based on the other comics, there might just well not be one.
I mean, there's the whole "it's a water-based computer, but we can't sell it because it literally has bugs in it, geddit!" wordplay, but naming it a joke is a huge stretch...
-
Ok, I think you're being an idiot by making this guy look like an idiot.
The joke's obviously about Watergate.
-
I'm trying to figure out what's up with the dude's suitcase in the third panel...
-
Hint: the name of the computer company is "Bells & Whistles".
-
Bells and whistles. Duh.
Ok, you guys have me defending this terrible cartoon, WTF?
-
Right, I see, the item on the left is a bell.I thought it was some kind of deformed coathanger. The whistle I can see though...

-
It should've been obvious by context. WHOOSH!

Trying reverse psychology, I see.

AFAICR, I've actually never seen that. That is a failure that needs to be remedied.

I have to necro this... Someone is catching up on reading and I followed a like notification here.
LOOK WHAT I FOUND!
The WTFs of Discourse could easily be a lot worse. For example, posts appear RTL dependant on the output of a RNG.
Our install could also be unsupported, which would be hellEmphasis mine.
Oh, how we laughed then...

I had fun the other day going back here:

Forget that. I just want to point out that it only takes 7 posts before you can spot the first bug:

@Lorne_Kates said:
the first bug
Avatars for posts and in-reply-to links always use the current avatar (plus/minus browser caching and discoupdating), but avatars in quotes are baked into the post and don't get updated unless the topic is rebaked for some reason. I think this is by design, although I'm not at all sure I understand the "logic" behind it. It doesn't bother me, though; it just shows that the user changed its avatar at some point since its post was quoted.
