[02:09:18] <carny> if i start submitting articles thru the website is there a box i can check to indicate 'this is something important people should know about and shouldn't be delayed in the queue just because pacing is nice'?
[02:27:53] <chromas> No, but being a non-bot sub, it's more likely to be picked first. You can also pop in here to drop a note

[11:02:49] * chromas see Bytram opening and not updating stories
[11:04:23] <chromas> Now they're all updated. You multi-tabber, you
[11:10:44] <chromas> I wonder what it would take to make the bot look up all the links in an article and make little footnotes for the ones that are research articles
[11:11:09] <chromas> The hard part would be adding the little 0s
[11:11:26] <chromas> or s/p/b/g
[11:31:22] <Bytram> carny: There is one way to mark a story as 'urgent'... set the Nexus to "Breaking News".
[11:32:22] <Bytram> chromas: I left the Computerworld story unupdated because the link to the financials was borked and I was on my cell phone, so I waited till I was on my lappy to track it down...
[11:33:26] <Bytram> Then I saw you approved it so went in to flag the bad link... and noticed it was a year-old story. Marked it non-display and re-ordered the story queue.
[11:34:52] <chromas> oh derp
[11:35:35] <chromas> s/2018/2019g and it's all better :)
[11:35:39] <Bytram> is why we 2nd the stories... I've been saved MANY times!
[11:36:22] <chromas> well I found the link anyway https://www.mozilla.org
[11:36:22] <systemd> ^ 03The State of Mozilla: 2018 Annual Report
[11:36:37] <Bytram> I've kudos!
[11:36:48] * Bytram is NOT awake
[11:36:49] <chromas> We keep getting old stories subbed for some reason
[11:37:41] <chromas> hm but the story is from 2019 December
[11:37:46] <Bytram> It's near end-of-year and people have 'end of year' on their mind, so see an 'end of year' story and think it is THIS year's end-of-year.
[11:37:53] <Bytram> huh?
[11:38:09] * Bytram did not see any time stamp ion the computerworld story.
[11:38:19] <Bytram> on his cell phone, that is.
[11:38:33] * Bytram looks again
[11:39:16] <Bytram> chromas: where do you see "December 2019" ??
[11:39:20] <chromas> According to the Moz report, it covers 2018–2019
[11:39:33] <chromas> at the top, under the author's name

[11:39:43] <chromas> Senior Reporter, Computerworld | Dec 5, 2019 4:44 am PST
[11:40:10] <Bytram> I don't see the date displayed... may be a JS thing.
[11:41:16] <chromas> could be. is your browser in desktop mode?
[11:41:28] <chromas> I usually run first-party js by default
[11:41:35] * chromas is a naughty boi
[11:42:28] <chromas> shows up with blocked jses two
[11:42:50] <chromas> oh nuh uh
[11:42:53] <chromas> I'm blind
[11:43:04] <chromas> the date is missing with first-paty js disabled
[11:43:15] <Bytram> k
[11:43:29] <Bytram> I see the date in the source html.
[11:43:44] <chromas> is it utc?
[11:43:51] <Bytram> so... looks like the story actually IS okay?
[11:43:53] <Bytram> kewel!
[11:43:57] <chromas> maybe they use js to adjust it to the reader's timezone
[11:43:59] * Bytram will fix.

[11:56:25] <Bytram> any works on stories that I can accomplish today will have to be on my cell phone until I get home late tonight. :(
[11:56:53] <chromas> need to tether laptop to phone
[11:57:13] <chromas> or use work wifi. don't tell nobody
[12:08:38] <Bytram> sounds good 'cept I a work retail, so cannot do on sales floor... that only leaves my break times.
