[02:56] oh my, some sexspam in #kubuntu [02:56] now to recall how to report that.... [02:58] @mark #kubuntu odsent sex-spam [02:58] The operation succeeded. === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [07:33] Try putting it in the microwave and seeing if the fan turns on then. [07:39] got him in PM [07:45] 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] ##linux [07:46] I don't suppose they'd have a problem with the occasional questionable joke, would they? [07:46] who knows, not our namespace [07:47] "everyone feel sterile"? [07:47] *everything [07:47] he told someone to put their computer in the microwave [07:47] I'm a girl. [07:47] Context matters. [07:48] not in this case [07:48] Yes, actually, it does. [07:48] girls have more common sense than guys [07:48] 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] its bad advice, jokes are offtopic, thats it [07:49] * valorie is a woman who prefers places where mutual respect is fundamental [07:49] 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] there's a chit chat channel [07:50] personality is expressed through false advice and bad jokes? [07:50] and there's a support channel [07:50] gads [07:50] You don't know the context, valorie. [07:50] sure [07:50] * valorie doesn't hang out in #ubuntu [07:50] most of us can compartmentalize and switch channels [07:50] too busy [07:51] if you cannot, then #ubuntu is not the place for your "advice" [07:51] 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] hilarious [07:52] HILARIOUS! How did you know I was just about to say that!? [07:52] if he did it, the results would be horrible [07:52] Which is true of many genuinely funny jokes. [07:52] it's never a joke channel [07:53] 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] There are joke channels? [07:53] bloatedbayesian, your quiet stands. if there is nothing further to discuss, please dont idle here [07:54] You mean #ubuntu? [07:55] 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] try asking in #freenode [07:57] some enjoy ##linux as well [07:57] I wasn't sure if Linux had the properties mentioned. [07:57] *##linux [07:58] dunno, too big and busy for me [07:58] I prefer lots of smaller ones [07:58] 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] I've got to say, the way you handled it was a little rude, bazhang. [08:01] telling people to put things in microwaves is never helpful, nor funny/ontopic [08:01] Humor is subjective. [08:02] I pm'd you, you kept arguing in channel, then finally responded once you were +q [08:02] support, genuine support is very clear to see. wasteful noise / offtopic "jokes" are equally very easy to spot [08:03] On-topicness is also a little bit of an imprecise metric. You're actually just using one of several possible heuristics. [08:03] And your entire attitude is confrontational. Just look at how you put quotes around the word 'joke'. [08:04] regardless, this is not a debate about channel policies. your +q will remain for now [08:04] I know you don't like my humor, but there's really no need to be harsh about this. [08:04] Oh poor me not being able to interact in a channel I'm never going back to again. [08:04] ok then [08:05] And I'm sure I'm not the only one, which is really the only reason I'm mentioning this to you. [08:05] kindly exit the channel at this time then. thanks. [08:05] How do you know I didn't have any other issues to address? [08:05] please proceed if so [08:06] Policy recommendations, maybe a report or two... [08:06] I don't. But don't be such a presumptuous idiot. [08:06] no need for that [08:17] In #ubuntu-server, Gaba1 said: !processor is AMD phenom 8750. OS is 64 bit [09:37] 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] I've never had the need to try it, not sure how well it works as a replacement though [09:50] !mono [09:50] !silverlight [09:50] For Microsoft Silverlight support, install Moonlight with the following command: « sudo apt-get install moonlight-plugin-mozilla » in a terminal. [09:50] err, silverlight yes, should have pipelight link. it works exceptionally well [09:51] Ah, it was moonlight rather than mono I was thinking of [09:59] In ubottu, Avi67 said: Actually the thing is i wanr to install applications to a system which doesnt havr internet. [10:00] In #ubuntu, Avi67 said: ubottu: Actually the thing is i wanr to install applications to a system which doesnt have interent. [13:31] 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] thank you Pici [14:22] stu "d!ckless" lantz betrays all; trannys & queers(chaste Homos/a$$holes), rule [14:30] Pici, thanks [14:33] Has an email gone out about who the new ops are? [14:33] No. I'm still waiting on a reply about a question from the other IRCCers [14:33] ok cheers [17:30] !recovery should be "If your system fails to boot for whatever reason, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode.

[18:20] yeah its him [18:21] that hostmask looks familliar, I think they joined #u-offtopic but didn't say anything yesterday [18:21] its not an unreasonable request [18:21] just it would be better to do that via the vnc client itself [18:22] asimov started the same way [18:22] it quickly descended into farce [19:15] Can anyone understand what blanko is going on about?
