[01:09:06] <Bytram> gotta say it's been one heck of a load off my mind having at least a half-day's worth of stories sitting ready to go out in the story queue lately!
[01:09:11] * Bytram checks the queue
[01:10:02] <Bytram> Yowza! You guys are the best! Let's keep it going!!!!!!!!!
[01:13:16] <fnord666_> certainly doesn't hurt to have usable submissions in the queue

[01:18:38] <fnord666_> yeah that Dell story is wild
[01:18:58] <fnord666_> and frightening
[01:19:32] <fnord666_> I've had a couple of Dell laptops and that dell assist functionality was one of the first things to go
[01:21:07] <fnord666_> windows was usually the second thing

[01:24:37] * Bytram just checked and has nothing in that port range active.
[01:25:14] <Bytram> they obviously did not have me QA their code... here's a line from their code:

[02:10:08] <mrpg> firefox in windows autoplays youtube videos but not in linux.
[02:11:41] <chromas> I disabled it but I think it's a per-computer setting, like the dark theme
[02:14:14] <mrpg> Yes maybe a about:config thing.

[02:19:59] * Bytram is doing a bit of an experiment and leaving a bunch of c|net HTML "cruft" in a story submission... let's see how much gets auto-cleaned-up after preview
[02:22:07] <Bytram> Interesting
[02:22:47] <mrpg> Clean Word Code
[02:22:52] <Bytram> class attributes on P elements are left in, but OTOH SPAN elements were removed. Nice!
[02:23:17] <Bytram> biab dishes and a bio-break
[02:24:23] <mrpg> I fear the day I have to quit windows 7 at work, there is nothing compared to Adobe's dreamweaver in linux. Mind you, wer should be using free software.

[02:25:00] <mrpg> But at home I already decided on budgie linux.
[02:25:02] <Bytram> on 2nd thought, I think I'll try to turn in at a somewhat reasonable hour tonight.
[02:26:08] <chromas> Have you looked at BlueGriffon? Not sure how it compares to Dreamweaver though
[02:27:01] <Bytram> mrpg: don't know if you saw this here earlier, but I really Really REALLY do appreciate how the story queue has been kept filled lately! Take a huge load off my mind and a weight off my shoulders. Feels like I can actually go about my day without having to check in every couple hours.
[02:27:38] <mrpg> I read it and I felt thanked :-)
[02:28:14] <Bytram> Oh Goodie!!
[02:28:27] <Bytram> or should that be "Goody!" ??
[02:28:33] <Bytram> whatever... YAY!

[13:00:15] <mrpg> Hi y'all.
[13:00:34] <mrpg> The Devuan sub is SO gossippy but I like it :-) MAybe for the weekend?
[13:05:04] <mrpg> #g mollified
[13:05:04] <MrPlow> https://www.dictionary.com - "Mollified definition, to soften in feeling or temper, as a person; pacify; appease. See more."
[13:08:47] <Bytram> mrpg: yeah, weekend would be best, I think.
[13:09:26] <Bytram> we ran a story on the prank shortly after it happened, so might want to include a link to it, too.
[13:12:07] <mrpg> Yes I remember. What's your take on the incident?
[13:12:09] <Bytram> Hope to copy my spinny laptop drive to an SSD today; will be offline for several hours.
[13:12:23] <Bytram> joke that went too far.
[13:12:38] <Bytram> cautionary tale of where the line is between funny and failure is not the same for everyone.
[13:13:25] <Bytram> A joke at other's expense is rarely universally funny. Better to make fun of oneself.
[13:13:39] <Bytram> and with that, am expecting a phone call so gotta run.
[13:13:43] <Bytram> Have a great day!!!
[13:18:04] <mrpg> Here it was March 31st. so I thought it might have been real.
[13:18:34] <mrpg> Bye take care
