| Aug 5, 2021 at 14:46 | comment | added | Evan Carroll | @pomsky read the bottom: questions about "cooking fish in a dishwasher" should be closed on Home Improvement and moved to Seasoned Advice. I would argue every question about database administration that is thought to be on topic merely because the user is using Ubuntu which has pulled the package in from Debian should be off topic for the same reason. Debian packages all software that has a compatible license. Those packages are available in Ubuntu. That doesn't mean it should all be on topic on Ask Ubuntu by proxy of software being available to install. | |
| Aug 5, 2021 at 12:04 | comment | added | pomsky | This goes pretty much against the philosophy of Stack Exchange. See the 'Respecting your own community' section here: stackoverflow.blog/2012/03/22/… | |
| Aug 5, 2021 at 4:09 | comment | added | Evan Carroll | @matigo no, because I ultimately I don't care about networks outside of StackExchange. So working to their detriment, even if the case, doesn't bother me. But I do care about other networks in StackExchange because they all have the same technological benefits and the QA format that I'm used to and that I want to see adopted. | |
| Aug 5, 2021 at 1:04 | comment | added | matigo | Would this not lead to a slippery slope where people start wondering why AU is answering questions about Minecraft, VirtualBox, Firefox, Chrome, Jupiter, and a myriad of other third-party tools? Each of these pieces of software have their own support channels outside of SE 🤔 | |
