Critical security issue in Firefox: http://arstechnica.com/security/2016/11/tor-rel...

Fixed in 50.0.2 and 45.5.1 ESR.

oh sweet

So one can assume that all the intermediate releases and some before 45 are affected, too.

was no update when i checked earlier

Seems like it has hit [extra] in Arch yet.

*hasn't

I think I'm doing life wrong. https://twitter.com/mr_pastry/status/8040556711...

Lotheric: Man what a match so far

>.<

Nerve-wracking

i hope a goal decides it and not kicks

woooh!

wow

woooh! wooooh!

oooh interesting kick

congratz! Now kill those Sounders please :)

I was under the impression we're not supposed to copy-paste content from elsewhere? https://musicbrainz.org/edit/41897782

Anyone want to help me clean? There'll be plenty of CDs to add to MusicBrainz!

hibiscuskazeneko, that's true of copyrighted material, certainly. I don't know if copyright really covers (or is meant to cover) a phrase like that. I mean, how many ways are there to say the same thing? If you needed to come up with a different way to describe every metal band from texas, you'd need to start making new words, wouldn't you?

It's kinds pointless to add info like that to the disamb when we have artist area fields

You're not the only editor who feels that way.

I kind of like it. It makes artists easy to spot in a search.

I'm confused, though, about the artist area guideline.

you need the area because you can't see the area field when selecting an artist

you see the area if you do a regular search, but yeah, for relationships the disambig is reallly helpful

Or editing track artists on a release.

style/artist seems to discourage using areas smaller than country unless the artist "is most commonly associated with an area smaller than a country"

I don't really know how to apply that. Everybody's from somewhere, aren't they?

(well, maybe not the Monkees)

(okay, fine, a lot of groups are probably not from any one place)

Well, I think of U2 as being from Ireland, versus Nirvana as being from Seattle.

Would that be true if you were Irish?

i thought u2 was american or something :P

shows*

Hard to say. I'm trying to answer that myself.

Become Irish. It's the only way to be sure.

you're atleast leftmost. that's..

irland is leftmost in the uk?

Ireland isn't in the UK.

Though I also tend to think of Journey as American, not San Franciscan.

I said he wrong word for mening the stupid islands down there ffs. it's 4:40 >_<

also

also

yes

In the Bay Area, Journey is totally thought of as a local band.

don't nag on me for saying there wrong word for some dumb place man, :rarg:!!!

As is, say, Tom Waits. But he's probably not thought of that way worldwide.

No. I would also think of Tom Waits as American.

you guys are totally not even looking at what i'm writing. just having a conversation witouth me. well whatever

Right, so the guideline is weird because everybody sees it slightly differently. Naturally, to me all local musicians are local musicians.

I read it, but I didn't really have a response. :-P

CallerNo6, probably not everybody. Just lots of people. ;)

Okay, so like, Guns n Roses?

I only think of LA, but that's probably not everybody's first thought.

I'd say American again

.

haha. they were literally formed by members of L.A. Guns and Hollywood Rose.

What does a butt metal band need to do to be considered "LA" around here?

Call themselves Los Angeles.

I'll make some calls, see if we can get 'er done.

Even then, I might think they were posers from Ohio.

"Posers from Ohio" sounds like a totes legit bandname

sorry, I want attention :(

I have no reason to believe that that's not a band.

indeed

I only know these as "american" :/

wait, artist intent, right? https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/336be18a-...

Do we have Utopia as an area?

Leftmost, we should have Utopia as an area ;)

MajorLurker: I've been wondering if we should have a [fictional area] Area

Utopia would fall under that category, wouldn't it?

drsaunders, Lotheric: I forget who of you I should congratulate and who I should give condolences for, but that sounded like a cool match yesterday!
