k1ldear developers, please make software that doesnt need security or bugfix updates. just perfect code.20:04
Unit193Oh, sorry.  Never thought of that!20:05
elkyto which user do we owe the nobel prize for being very smart?20:18
elkyi suspect a lot of them, this seems to be a common bright idea20:19
daftykinsPici: good to see that you consider going for the ban straight away on users who have helped for years, rather than perhaps have a conversation...20:39
daftykinsnow then, the other day i was told to await a PM but instead a second op decides to ban anyway - i must say that due process is somewhat lacking in you folks of late20:39
daftykinsit's also utter rubbish for some unknown user to claim my help is 'rarely helpful' given i solve tonnes of problems per month... there are those users who are simply butthurt and hold a grudge on this network20:42
Picidaftykins: I didn't ban you.20:45
PiciI see a note escalating this issue to the IRC Council, but I have not yet seen anything on that front.20:47
daftykinsPici: i know you didn't *this* time, but to consider it without even saying a word is poor.20:49
daftykinsthe python thing was actually a genuine mistake, i didn't know it'd trash a system20:49
daftykinsin fairness though that specific user had far bigger problems than that20:50
daftykinsno i'm sure the wheels will not turn very quickly there - as am i sure that the full details won't be shared either20:50
daftykinswell, well done folks you'll get what you've wanted for so long i'm sure. Shame about all those unanswered queries that'll come20:51
Picidaftykins: I believe that you were offline by the time that I wanted to speak to you about it... but honestly I've been rather distracted from Ubuntu stuff recently.  And yes, that user had much larger issues than that, I had just expected better from you.20:54
daftykinsthan to not know that python is important? agreed, but then i'd only class myself as intermediate at best.20:55
PiciAnd that really shouldn't have had much to do with this ban.  I didn't make an official note of it at the time.20:56
PiciAnyway, I have a ridiculous headache right now, so I'm going to go home and get some rest. If you want to send something to the IRCC, please do so via irc-council@lists.ubuntu.com or I'll take it up with another operator later so that we can get the appeals process started.20:58
daftykinsfeel better!20:59
daftykinsi have to admit i don't understand policy to get whether the above suggestion is really necessary...21:21
hggdhdaftykins: yes it is necessary.21:55
daftykinshow-so?21:55
hggdhdaftykins: as far as I can see from logs you have beed asked many times to be more civil. Your ban has been sent to the IRCC, and you have to talk with them.21:58
hggdhs/beed/been/21:58
daftykinsand this email is the only method? which is publically visible?22:00
hggdhthe email to irc-council@u.c is only visible to the IRCC members22:10
daftykinsok, thanks. haven't seen you before...22:16
hggdhindeed. I tend to lurk.22:20
hggdhdaftykins: now, meanwhile, please /part this channel22:20
daftykinsyes i understand policy... still pretty vague on this whole drama though22:21
daftykinsi'd definitely welcome an actual explanation22:21

valoriethis page is a bit out-of-date: http://askubuntu.com/questions/661922/how-am-i-supposed-to-use-nvidia-prime but I don't see a better one22:57
