[00:00:33] <chromas> I left it, but I did swap out those hyphens for some em dashes
[00:00:43] <chromas> Feel free to change the dept if it's inappropriate
[00:00:49] <chromas> https://soylentnews.org
[00:00:50] <upstart> ^ 03Error
[00:00:51] <exec> └─ 13Error
[00:26:40] <chromas> I wonder if there's a permission level upstart could have that gives read-only privs to queued stories
[00:34:42] <Bytram> chromas: last things first... nope.
[00:34:58] <chromas> poor bot
[00:35:10] <Bytram> at a minimum would require editor privs and that's not gonna happen.
[00:35:10] <chromas> doomed to Error for eternity
[00:36:33] <Bytram> well, I suppose I could give it seclev == 100 and NOT make it an editor, but that is an... unconventional setup (in other words: not tried, and I'd rather not have a bot finding all the corner cases, while doing things programmatically)
[00:36:50] <Bytram> next thing... not following you yet... brb
[00:38:21] <Bytram> looks like you pulled the reference to Ars?
[00:38:35] <Bytram> oops... just saw a typo... brb
[00:39:00] <chromas> I was thinking of changing the wording, too, since it refers to the article just above it
[00:39:22] <chromas> When you wrote it, that excerpt and link weren't above it, but now they are
[00:40:25] <Bytram> I see no mention of Ars Technica in the story
[00:40:55] * Bytram clicks update to save the correction to the typo he found.
[00:41:06] <Bytram> oh, wait.
[00:41:19] <Bytram> you are talking about a different story.
[00:41:34] <Bytram> clicky
[00:42:08] <Bytram> now I am following you... hold on.
[00:42:16] <chromas> Well, now I'm confused. What other article did I pull a link from? :)
[00:46:18] <Bytram> I was talking about the SpaceX launch story... but I got them confused. It was an intensely hectic morning with the site's issues actually being upstream connectively which
[00:47:11] <chromas> ah
[00:47:15] <Bytram> resulted in me leaving at 5 minutes to the hour to start a 15 minute commute and resulted in me being 10 minutes late for work, and they didn't
[00:47:44] <Bytram> *brain fart*
[00:48:30] <Bytram> so with 10 minutes' less time, I still had the usual stuff I needed to do before start of business for the day, so I was full-speed-ahead for the first few hours of my day.
[00:50:04] <Bytram> chromas: Anyway, I've moved a couple things around. Please let me know what you think.
[00:50:14] <Bytram> https://soylentnews.org
[00:50:15] <upstart> ^ 03Error
[00:50:17] <exec> └─ 13Error
[00:51:12] <chromas> Sorta looks the same, with the duplicated link moved up a bit
[00:51:28] <chromas> Looks fine though
[00:51:41] <Bytram> On further thought, I am inclined to think there is a reason why ability to read stories (or even their titles) is restricted until after the stories go live.
[00:52:12] <Bytram> yeah, I considered leaving out the restating of the link, but was easiest just to leave it in context.
[00:52:12] <chromas> Specifically so bots can't title the links in irc
[00:53:12] <Bytram> there was a problem on /. way way back, IIRC, there folks had pre-written comments. Then, when a story went live, they'd dive in, post their comment, and get a bunch of upvotes.
[00:53:27] <Bytram> karma++
[00:53:27] <Bender> karma - karma: 2
[00:54:07] <chromas> Wouldn't want people thinking ahead of time :D
[00:55:08] <Bytram> provide no more incentive/opportunity for "manipulation" than is absolutely needed
[00:55:33] <Bytram> not the right word, but I'm running on vapors right about now.
[00:55:58] <Bytram> chromas: will you be staying up for the spacex launch?
[00:56:18] <chromas> I might be up then, but not purposely for it. what time?
[00:56:26] <chromas> I guess I could look at the article I posted
[00:56:38] <Bytram> 2019-06-24 11:30pm EDT (2019-06-25 0330 UTC)
[00:56:56] <chromas> oh that's just a couple hours from now
[00:57:19] <chromas> or three
[00:57:21] <Bytram> reason I ask is that there was an issue with SpaceX somehow running the launch on a different link than what was "advertised" earlier...
[00:57:24] <chromas> I don't remember if we're in dst or not
[00:57:43] <Bytram> I was scrambling until just before launch that time.
[00:57:56] <chromas> Yeah, I'll still be up. It's only 1757 here
[00:57:58] <Bytram> it is DST, now
[00:58:16] <chromas> dst--
[00:58:16] <Bender> karma - dst: -1
[00:58:33] <Bytram> so, in 10 years you'll be sitting in on the Constitutional Congress!
[00:58:56] <Bytram> is 20:57 here.
[00:59:18] <Bytram> so, you are on the "other" coast.
[00:59:35] <chromas> The one with all the hipsters and social justice
[01:00:01] * chromas counts his privilege points; comes up negative
[01:00:02] <Bytram> chromas: s/sti/i/
[01:00:15] <Bytram> rats. not quick enought.
[01:00:31] <Bytram> I see you are looking at the solar minimum stories
[01:00:31] <upstart> ~sed on
[01:01:05] <chromas> Yeah, I don't like most of the stories though
[01:01:19] <chromas> I haven't actually done anything with it
[01:02:01] <Bytram> I'd suggest giving a pass on the one that mentions the Mauder Minimum and all the catastrophes that were claimed to result from it... no supporting evidence to the assertion, and we all know that post hoc ergo propter hoc is a fallacy.
[01:02:07] <chromas> The ari sub's alright. He almost accidentally the political commentary
[01:02:27] <Bytram> coincidence is not causality (or somethin' like it)
[01:02:28] <chromas> Just because it's a fallacy doesn't make it wrong
[01:02:32] <chromas> What fallacy is that? :D
[01:02:56] <Bytram> is not fair to perform mental jousting with a sleeping person
[01:03:31] <Bytram> the other one of those two AC solar minimum subs was much better, in my estimation.
[01:04:52] * Bytram glances at https://soylentnews.org and notices that chromas is approaching his 900th story...
