Looks like you're never getting a new tag cloud to attack:

What ever happened to complaint driven development? He could have at least met them halfway and made the tags page a navigation tool.

What ever happened to complaint driven development?
Volume of complaints was too high? Switched to complaint driven bikeshedding?

Oh hell. So filed a bug about posting screwing with read position, and Jeff realizes that it's only valid when "Don't jump to my post" is enabled (which I mentioned when reporting). I said that doesn't make it less of a bug and:
@codingwhorror said:
It means it affects a tiny percentage of people, though.
Nice asspull …
-
@PJH, @boomzilla: do you guys have any visibility on the use of that setting?
-
Are they anywhere in the
/latest.json
or something?If they are, by Crom, nothing can stop us!
-
-
You should read my response (cross posted for raisins):
@abarker said:
I'd like to see some stats to support this "tiny percentage" claim. And from somewhere besides this instance.
-
And it get's worse:
@qodingwhorror said:
Not interested in arguing with you -- but most people don't touch the defaults. It's a fine bug, with a good repro -- but not exactly one that should be prioritized since it affects a very, very small number of users with non-default settings.
I'll just pre-emptively close this, since I know based on past history you'd like to argue this point. Rest assured, we will fix, it is a valid bug.
After which he actually closed an unfixed bug in their bug tracker.

Sent him a PM:

Not interested in arguing, just not interested in being brushed off with your asspull figures.
And now I've been logged out. Tried logging in and got:
Well, I don't know when "a 11, 2015" is. Guess I won't bother with meta.d anymore.
-
Wow.
Seriously, that is totally fucked up.
-
I don't know when "a 11, 2015" is
Because nothing promotes civilised discourse like advertising why someone has been banned to the entire world
-
Or banning someone for not actually arguing.

Someone should log that bug on meta...
edit: :Wtf: since when did the caption for the image get included?!
-
-
I might risk logging it.
-
Or banning someone for not actually arguing.
@codinghorror: If you want a real argument, come over here. I was just trying to get facts.
-
We all know Atwood isn't interested in facts.
-
-
You're a brave man.
-
Beta 10 seems to have more than the usual amount of issues. Jeff's probably stressed about trying to squeeze 1.3 out, and getting extra snippy. Release was supposed to be today.
Oh, it's been pushed to June 1, as of yesterday. Original target was February.
-
and you wonder why i'm not on there much anymore.
that man NEEDS a PR person to handle this because he is doing an amazingly good job of generating bad press in the IT world for this.
@sam's nice, and a lot of the other devs are too, but these shenanigains by Jeff are intolerable.
-
That, and he should leave the moderation of meta.d to a dedicated moderation team; having the devs themselves as moderators is a huge conflict of interest
-
wonder if anyone will notice
-
I'll admit, I was considering a Burns avatar earlier, but I don't have any suitable images to hand, and I'm busy watching old Sonic cartoons anyway
-
i stole @abarker's
it seemed apropos
-
The whole thread seems to have vanished now. Oh yeah, that definitely sends the "we'll fix this" message.
-
Hmm…
OK, it's copycat, but that's kinda the pointI think there's an image scaling oddity; the Surface Pro 3 has a high DPI screen
-
Oh yeah, that definitely sends the "we'll fix this" message.
it also sends the "don't question my words for i only speak the truth"
.... that sounds familiar actually
-
I know Jeff is being a douche canoe with that whole thing but I'm not sure repeating the whole "let's set our avatars to the same Burns image" thing is going to improve things over there.
-
Oh, is improving things the goal? I'm pretty sure we've given up on His Holy Doucheiness by now. Fuck him.
-
-
given i'm out and not planning on going back to meta.d..... who cares? it's not like i was active there to begin with.
i doube anyone will notice for weeks
-
If it finally gets him to lighten up and stop behaving like a petulant twat, then it's worth it. If it doesn't work, then fuck him and his attitude right up his fucking starhole.
-
who cares?
Those of us who still intend to go back and log some bugs?
There's an even smaller chance of anything getting fixed if it's either not logged or just logged on here.Like 8 of the "top" 15 bugs now have that avatar as the OP, that's a little more noticeable.
I don't care enough to argue about it, I'm just saying.
-

It's Jeff - you're deluded if you think that's a likely outcome.
-
system default it is.
i'm now a purplish A
-
I never said I was hopeful of that outcome.
I get the point about the Burns thing though, will have to change it in the morning though, as my home Internet's crapped out on me.
-
Huh... sorting that out on my phone was easier than I thought it'd be
-
@sam's nice, and a lot of the other devs are too, but these shenanigains by Jeff are intolerable.
Sam could be Santa Claus, but as long as Atwood's in charge (and despite there being like 57 "co-founders", he clearly is), this product is going to be boiled shit. Atwood doesn't even know what good software looks like. His only claims to fame are a blog full of advice he doesn't even take himself, and a significantly less shitty (while still pretty shitty) site that was only successful because its competition was absolute rock-bottom.
(Ironically,now that Yahoo Answers has their shit rapidly coming together, it's way better than StackX at answering questions in certain topics.)
-

Who gives a shit? The guy's beyond hope.
There's two good solutions to this problem, one of which is illegal, and the other of which involves Alex getting off his duff and doing something.
-
-
And you're welcome to it. At least until they come after you. I suggest mirroring it so there's some difference.
-
you'll be back (maybe)... i won't. not unless something magical comes and Jeff stops "moderating"
-
you'll be back (maybe)...
That assumes I remember my login info when "a 11" rolls around.
-
That's why I use a password manager
-
Yeah, I do too, at least for stuff I care to remember the credentials for.
-
That is also assuming it isn't changed on you.
-
I'm late to the party. The thread is gone. (rand()%2==1)? : ;
