[02:56] <valorie> oh my, some sexspam in #kubuntu
[02:56] <valorie> now to recall how to report that....
[02:58] <valorie> @mark #kubuntu odsent sex-spam
 Try putting it in the microwave and seeing if the fan turns on then.
[07:39] <bazhang> got him in PM
[07:45] <bloatedbayesian> Is there a more general linux help-place that doesn't have restrictive policies that make everything feel sterile? I think I'd be better able to contribute there.
[07:45] <bazhang> ##linux
[07:46] <bloatedbayesian> I don't suppose they'd have a problem with the occasional questionable joke, would they?
[07:46] <bazhang> who knows, not our namespace
[07:47] <valorie> "everyone feel sterile"?
[07:47] <bloatedbayesian> *everything
[07:47] <bazhang> he told someone to put their computer in the microwave
[07:47] <bloatedbayesian> I'm a girl.
[07:47] <bloatedbayesian> Context matters.
[07:48] <bazhang> not in this case
[07:48] <bloatedbayesian> Yes, actually, it does.
[07:48] <bazhang> girls have more common sense than guys
[07:48] <bloatedbayesian> I hate being stereotyped. I can be a girl and still not have any common sense. And I mean context about the joke.
[07:49] <bazhang> its bad advice, jokes are offtopic, thats it
[07:49]  * valorie is a woman who prefers places where mutual respect is fundamental
[07:49] <bloatedbayesian> Maybe then you'd understand why it's actually mildly funny. You see, the guy had an overheating problem and someone... well yes, I understand that you don't want any sign of personality cluttering up your helping-place. And that's fine, you have that right I guess.
[07:50] <bazhang> there's a chit chat channel
[07:50] <valorie> personality is expressed through false advice and bad jokes?
[07:50] <bazhang> and there's a support channel
[07:50] <valorie> gads
[07:50] <bloatedbayesian> You don't know the context, valorie.
[07:50] <valorie> sure
[07:50]  * valorie doesn't hang out in #ubuntu
[07:50] <bazhang> most of us can compartmentalize and switch channels
[07:50] <valorie> too busy
[07:51] <bazhang> if you cannot, then #ubuntu is not the place for your "advice"
[07:51] <bloatedbayesian> Someone said that the fan wouldn't turn on unless it got hot enough, implying maybe it wasn't getting hot enough. So I was suggesting a way to test whether the issue was inaccurate temp reading software.
[07:52] <valorie> hilarious
[07:52] <bloatedbayesian> HILARIOUS! How did you know I was just about to say that!?
[07:52] <bazhang> if he did it, the results would be horrible
[07:52] <bloatedbayesian> Which is true of many genuinely funny jokes.
[07:52] <bazhang> it's never a joke channel
[07:53] <bloatedbayesian> And I'm pretty sure he knew not to take it seriously, especially since I made it pretty clear that it wasn't serious advice right after and in a non-awkward way too.
[07:53] <bloatedbayesian> There are joke channels?
[07:53] <bazhang> bloatedbayesian, your quiet stands. if there is nothing further to discuss, please dont idle here
[07:54] <bloatedbayesian> You mean #ubuntu?
[07:55] <bloatedbayesian> Anyway, what I'm in the market for is a blended up channel that allows a dash of jokes and maybe even the tasteful reference... I understand roughly why you have a problem with what I'm doing, but I hope you can understand my perspective as well.
[07:56] <bazhang> try asking in #freenode
[07:57] <valorie> some enjoy ##linux as well
[07:57] <bloatedbayesian> I wasn't sure if Linux had the properties mentioned.
[07:57] <bloatedbayesian> *##linux
[07:58] <valorie> dunno, too big and busy for me
[07:58] <valorie> I prefer lots of smaller ones
[07:58] <bloatedbayesian> The nice thing about a smaller community is that it's possible to be less restrictive without too much noise and chaos accumulating.
[08:00] <bloatedbayesian> I've got to say, the way you handled it was a little rude, bazhang.
[08:01] <bazhang> telling people to put things in microwaves is never helpful, nor funny/ontopic
[08:01] <bloatedbayesian> Humor is subjective.
[08:02] <bazhang> I pm'd you, you kept arguing in channel, then finally responded once you were +q
[08:02] <bazhang> support, genuine support is very clear to see. wasteful noise / offtopic "jokes" are equally very easy to spot
[08:03] <bloatedbayesian> On-topicness is also a little bit of an imprecise metric. You're actually just using one of several possible heuristics.
[08:03] <bloatedbayesian> And your entire attitude is confrontational. Just look at how you put quotes around the word 'joke'.
[08:04] <bazhang> regardless, this is not a debate about channel policies. your +q will remain for now
[08:04] <bloatedbayesian> I know you don't like my humor, but there's really no need to be harsh about this.
[08:04] <bloatedbayesian> Oh poor me not being able to interact in a channel I'm never going back to again.
[08:04] <bazhang> ok then
[08:05] <bloatedbayesian> And I'm sure I'm not the only one, which is really the only reason I'm mentioning this to you.
[08:05] <bazhang> kindly exit the channel at this time then. thanks.
[08:05] <bloatedbayesian> How do you know I didn't have any other issues to address?
[08:05] <bazhang> please proceed if so
[08:06] <bloatedbayesian> Policy recommendations, maybe a report or two...
[08:06] <bloatedbayesian> I don't. But don't be such a presumptuous idiot.
[08:06] <bazhang> no need for that
[09:37] <DJones> From memory, wasn't the mono project dropped? if so, should !silverlight be deleted or maybe linked to pipelight http://fds-team.de/cms/pipelight-installation.html
[09:38] <DJones> I've never had the need to try it, not sure how well it works as a replacement though
[09:50] <jussi> !mono
[09:50] <DJones> !silverlight
[09:50] <jussi> err, silverlight yes, should have pipelight link. it works exceptionally well
[09:51] <DJones> Ah, it was moonlight rather than mono I was thinking of
[13:31] <Pici> btw, better late than never, I updated the access lists and launchpad for everyone who recieved +4 votes from the IRCC for the operator call.
[13:35] <IdleOne> thank you Pici
[14:22] <User889> stu "d!ckless" lantz betrays all; trannys & queers(chaste Homos/a$$holes), rule
[14:30] <phunyguy> Pici, thanks
[14:33] <DJones> Has an email gone out about who the new ops are?
[14:33] <Pici> No. I'm still waiting on a reply about a question from the other IRCCers
[14:33] <DJones> ok cheers
[17:30] <daftykins> !recovery should be "If your system fails to boot for whatever reason, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode"

 I would like the displays colors reduced to 16.
[18:13] <genii> bazhang: Sounds the same as Fahr earlier in #kubuntu
[18:14] <bazhang> genii, or [[[[asimov]]]]: what is time
[18:15] <genii> Yes, Sendak and Fahr same hostmask .... asimov I dunno but probably too
[18:15] <bazhang> * [[[[SENDAK]]]] (~Thunderbi@32.150.142.193): [[[sendak]]]
[18:16] <bazhang> asimov was the same iirc
 16 is better for coding.
[18:20] <bazhang> yeah its him
[18:21] <phunyguy> that hostmask looks familliar, I think they joined #u-offtopic but didn't say anything yesterday
[18:21] <Pici> its not an unreasonable request
[18:21] <Pici> just it would be better to do that via the vnc client itself
[18:22] <bazhang> asimov started the same way
[18:22] <bazhang> it quickly descended into farce
[19:15] <genii> Can anyone understand what blanko is going on about?
[19:15] <bazhang> police have his encrypted hdd
[19:16] <DJones> Erm, leave well alone
[19:16] <genii> Yes, seems to have quieted down about it now
[19:16] <DJones> Give them the password
[19:20] <phunyguy> hunter2
[19:20] <bazhang> "policy"
[19:23] <phunyguy> ...
[19:56] <bazhang> * [[[[wilhelm]]]] (~Thunderbi@32.148.150.37): [[[wilhelm]]]
[19:56] <Pici> bleh
[19:56] <bazhang> aren't those all server names?
[19:56] <bazhang> asimov, sendak, wilhelm
[19:56] <Pici> yep
 Is it possiblr to resize an LV that is in use?
[20:03] <bazhang> he just asked that as [[[[[[[[sendak]]]]]]]]] I thought
[20:16] <genii> FYI: truecrypts site was compromised and a different version inserted there now.
[20:17] <bazhang> just saw that
[21:09] <ikonia> isn't wilhelm1 banned ?
[21:09] <ikonia> about 3 times as he keeps evading ?
[23:29] <h00k> genii: interesting
[23:33] <h00k> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7812133
[23:34] <genii> Yup
