How do I add files to posts?
Hmmm... that whole AU page is a little soft on details isn't it :). I will give my colleagues a poke and get their input here...

I have bookmarked that 'Minimal, Reproducible Example ' in my 'Moderation' bookmarks, very useful!

Great answer (as always)! The extra problem with Pastebins is that there is no guarantee that the information will remain for any particular time period. This means a dead link eventually and a loss of useful information from question,answer or comment. On the Ubuntu pastebin page I see: 'Submitted data is not guaranteed to be permanent, and may be removed at any time.' I am not sure if this is different in other pastebin services...

Change the Launchpad logo on Ask Ubuntu's Contact and Login pages
So you are looking at this (from 'New Questions): "Is the question only fully answerable by an employee?" ? I have added the status-review tag after a quick consult on the Teacher's Lounge...

I am always ready to be corrected but I believe that AU mods can't actually make that change?

@NotTheDr01ds I see the lock has expired now so if you feel like doing the needful?

You have suggested a different Duplicate in the original question to this one: askubuntu.com/q/1263111/57576?

Why is my question opinion based
I see your question reopened, so a good result there. Meta is perfectly fine for such questions but keep in the back of your mind you also have access to at least 2 Chat rooms where assistance and support can also be provided in such matters (as well as some general chat!): 1. chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/3877/raiders-of-the-lost-downbo‌​at 2. chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/201/ask-ubuntu-general-room.

Is it safe to download links from Ask Ubuntu?
I tried the app in a VM and sure enough the message is: Couldn't sign you in This browser or app may not be secure. Try using a different browser. If you’re already using a supported browser, you can try again to sign in. Doubtless you have 2FA in your Google settings? Which means you cannot now allow what Google considers 'insecure' apps and looks like Calendar Indicator is one of those apps. You are not alone as I see many 'me too' additions to this bug report: github.com/atareao/calendar-indicator/issues/7 as well as several other bug reports with exactly the same issue...

A little late (my apologies) but I have placed a 7 day lock on the original AU answer while this is all being sorted...

Answer unfairly blocked
Another small point concerning this: ' If your moderator wanted to reach out personally and give me feedback, that is acceptable. ' So a moderator, either a 'Community' moderator or an elected moderator would not normally do that but there is an option for discussion on Chat. A starting point would either be: 1. chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/3877/raiders-of-the-lost-downbo‌​at or 2. chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/201/ask-ubuntu-general-room . These rooms can be a little quiet but community members can be found there and mods as well. Always up for friendly discussion.

AWS will be sponsoring Ask Ubuntu
@C.S.Cameron Not as regards the sponsorship itself: 'The Community cannot veto a sponsorship, although serious concerns will be relayed back to the client' This is a quote from: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/376530/… (Last paragraph in the Who can sponsor a site? section).
