Hey guys, if you’re still in 2017, stay there. Basically, 2018 is exactly the same, but the portal there makes you extremely hung over. Not worth it! Not recommended!

RE: How's 2018 so far?

Just thanks
Hey, I just wanted to say: thank you all for great job on customizing NodeBB. I love the fact that each other day I log in I see those little improvements that make using this site much more enjoyable. Like the like/dislike buttons and reply identificators on mobile, highlighting post linked to by notification, one box plugin, fixed left-swipe-scroll-to-top bug or the latest change: indicator which topic I'm in. And now people working on implementing raw view button.
Thank you all, @ben_lubar, @boomzilla, @julianlam, @abarker, @Onyx, @accalia, @RaceProUK and probably others I forgot to mention.
Cheers and happy Easter to all of you! :)

Happy New Year!
Hey guys,
I can't find a 2018 thread for New Years' wishes, so imma start it myself!
Hope you have a good start into the new one and that it's better than the one just ending. I wish you peace and quite and that you don't get so aggravated by all the bad software and politics anymore. (Yeah, I know, neeeeeeeever gonna happen.)
And let the garage remain the toxic hellstew it is! We're the best at it, my doctor says reading that shit will shorten my life by 10-20 years!
Cheers dudes, have a nice one!

RE: WTF Bites
And so they lost one of their valued customers. I’m so disappointed I didn’t have the time last weekend to check the rollout of the new version for SQL injection vulnerabilities. Which I would’ve found for sure!

Merry Christmas
Hey dudes and dudettes!
It’s the Christmas Eve today and here in Poland this is when we start celebrating.
I’m not a religious person myself, but Christmas is first and foremost the family time when we come together and find consolation in the realization that there are always people that we can do stuff with, that might sometimes help us and that we don’t hate really as much as we thought we did. (Or that we hate even more than we believed!)
This is exactly what I’d love to wish you! Doesn’t matter your political allegiance, your OS preference, your chosen technology, or if you think that Linux hardware really sucks ass. I wish you warm, merry and relaxing Christmas! (Or at least a few hours of this, probably when everybody already left and you have this half an hour for yourself before your kids start screaming again.)

RE: WTF Bites
There's a bug in a cinema's reservation system. It adds 10 to the number of seats available/overall:
I thought, "hey, I'll let them know!". There was a helpful email address there at the bottom of the page, so I sent an email. And, lo and behold, I received a response within a minute!
Oh...

@kt_ because you’re un-psyop-able and therefore it is a psy-op on the rest of us?
Hey, I learned a new word!

RE: Stack Exchange experiences Stack Meltdown, by enforcing preferred pronouns in site-wide communications

@topspin said in Stack Exchange experiences Stack Meltdown, by enforcing preferred pronouns in site-wide communications:
Sara was objectively wrong about all of this but not lying because she thought what she said is true.
What kind of "alternative fact" shit is this? Before you speak about a certain topic you're supposed to look into it and find out basic information like what it is all about. Doing otherwise is and makes yourself a level of being as high as the conspiracy theorists.
It's called common sense and if you don't have it, never enter any kind of arguments. The world will thank you later.
I think what @topspin meant was that Sara is still good people, just done fucked up, acted harshly in a rush. She's not trying to lie, she's just not aware what she's saying isn't true.

There's another post about this whole mess now, this time from StackOverflow's CTO:
A great post full of absolutely nothing. "We hurt you and we're sorry" for a couple of paragraphs, and then absolutely jack shit on the topic of why any of this was decided on, which of Sara and Monica were directly lying (given the claim about repeated violations vs the claim of zero violations), etc.
Exactly my thoughts. @Mason-Wheeler, do you and your fellow moderators feel this apology changes anything?

@kt_ all I was doing was responding to the question. As usual, I try to stay out of most internet "arguments", at least the substantive parts.
That's what I figured, just wanted to confirm.

@Benjamin-Hall said in Stack Exchange experiences Stack Meltdown, by enforcing preferred pronouns in site-wide communications:
@Unperverted-Vixen according to her account linked above, the one who started the whole CoC/pronoun kerfuffle was a non-binary or trans (not clear which) moderator who took a very hard line, including demanding that SO require (hard positive rule) use of "preferred" (their word) pronouns and that writing in a gender-neutral way is not acceptable.
I understand that you want to set the account straight and that you believe that there was actually one trans person involved, but knowing you I also do believe that you're aware of the fact that it doesn't matter. One person (or even a few people) writing something on twitter is not (as @levicki tries to say) a vocal minority, or even a substantial part of the minority, or even a part large enough to actually take larger notice than "there are stupid people on the internet".

@Unperverted-Vixen said in Stack Exchange experiences Stack Meltdown, by enforcing preferred pronouns in site-wide communications:
Is there any evidence that any actual trans people were involved with her removal? Or is this just their so-called allies overcorrecting?
Sadly, all evidence seems to be "he said / she said" at this point. There was one queer mod involved who resigned from what I read.
Since you quoted that particular part of my post I should probably clarify that I didn't mean it to be taken as being specific to the SE situation, but an observation of a trend on how things tend to unwrap once the vocal minority starts rioting and demanding things.
Yeah, all those pesky minorities demanding things, that can't accept that they're simply abnormal and don't matter!
Ok, now you tried and explained your own backwards opinions as "I didn't mean it in the context of this situation, just generally", whereas this situation is obviously exactly what we're talking about and not really anything else. Still, you're basing your views on a kind of extrapolation of situations like this one, which is a real shame, because it means it's impossible to take you seriously.

Do you really believe that stack exchange is now run by trans people only?
I never said anything about who is now running Stack Exchange nor I intend to.
If you somehow convinced yourself I did (and you seem to be trying to convince others as well judging by the accusatory tone of your post), then quote the relevant part of my post so we can all see what kind of mental gymnastics you had to go through to come to that conclusion.
Well, it's you who's trying to explain this SE meltdown with "this is how a group of trans people reacts"! No, it's not. This is how a company that wants to position themselves as fighters for someone rights to finally start earning money reacts. Or how Silly Valley people react.
TL;DR -- your therapy doesn't seem to be working.
Never said it did. But I have less money to spend on booze, so maybe it kinda does?
