[02:48] <TJ-> can someone deal with tux38 in #ubuntu again please
[02:51] <TJ-> !ops | tux38 in #ubuntu trolling
[02:54] <Unit193> TJ-: Pici got it.
[02:54] <TJ-> yeah, saw that
[02:55] <TJ-> That 'person' seems to have made a habit of that; with tux38 or wicktux over several months. Can't figure out what they get out of it
[11:13] <k1l> tellyouwhat now insulting me in pm after i muted him and told him in pm that #u is for technical support only.
[11:13] <k1l> and he clearly doesnt want support using elementary and just ranting about ubuntu
[11:17] <popey> that was clear
[11:17] <popey> people jumped on him way too much
[11:17] <popey> IMHO
[11:17] <popey> seems people were willing to pounce just because he dared utter "the e word" even if it was just to make a comparison
[11:17] <popey> (I'm still not convinced he actually wants support as such)
[15:13] <Pricey> I've been hoping to extend an olive branch as I've seen some of us are not too happy with the current situation.
[15:15] <Pricey> I've sat on both sides and some of what I've read about has always been the case, always sucked & could always use more effort.
[15:16] <Unit193> Either I'm noticing it a lot more, or it's been a lot worse, TBH. :/
[15:16] <Pricey> Other things, really not happy to hear about.
[15:18] <Unit193> Quite understandably.
[15:34] <bazhang> I put it down to seasonal/holiday stress
[15:35] <bazhang> it happens
[15:36] <bazhang> that, plus the somewhat uneven timezone distribution of who is available
[15:37] <bazhang> so eight-ten hours of bupkis, then the rest multiple available
[15:39] <Pricey> Yeah, we've always been weighted towards US/EU but we do have a bunch in that big gap too. Coverage always depends.
[15:40] <bazhang> as far as sharp tongues go, the olden days of staff had some very shall we say 'direct' staffers
[15:42] <Pricey> I was quite surprised to see the recent ones!
[15:45] <bazhang> thats like a summer picnic with mint julep tea compared to times past
[15:46] <bazhang> one final factor that comes into play, in my own estimation, is the number of staff/ubuntu members is near zero of late
[15:47] <bazhang> in prior years, corey nalioth, and many other staffers were both, and there was much better communication/coordination on both sides
[15:51] <Pricey> I love that.
[15:52] <Pricey> Before I became staff, we complained about our friends becoming staffers and not helping us out as much as they could ;-)
[15:52] <bazhang> so what I said was off in some way?
[15:53] <Pricey> No no, just that I'm glad that has completely changed.
[15:54] <Pricey> There was controversy even when some of us joined staff while on the IRCC iirc. (heh)
[16:43] <bazhang> thats just my take
[16:43] <bazhang> take into account or discount as you will
[16:58] <Pricey> I'm just popping out climbing for a bit, but I'll be around, lets talk.
