[15:34:11] * Bytram just notices the new poll
[15:35:30] <janrinok> the font one? Not sure where that came from, and I don't think very much of it, tbh
[15:35:55] <Bytram> nod nod
[15:36:15] * Bytram suspects some of those might be proportional fonts... shudder
[15:36:24] <janrinok> they are - see the comments
[15:36:25] * Bytram prefers Lucida Console
[15:37:17] <janrinok> mine is just 'Monospace'
[15:37:26] <Bytram> looks like chromas posted the poll?
[15:37:35] <janrinok> could be - dunno
[15:37:52] <janrinok> he never mentioned it...
[15:37:52] <Bytram> well, it is according to TMB: https://soylentnews.org

[19:07:48] <janrinok> Fnord666, your Animal Abuse Legislation has no link to the source material - I get a graphic for AP News but nothing that takes me to the story I've delayed it and moved another story in its place

[19:29:15] <Bytram> janrinok: I had no trouble getting to the story from the provided first link.
[19:29:26] <janrinok> Bytram, thanks, I've also added handful of additional links
[19:29:35] <Bytram> ahhh, those were yours?
[19:29:41] * Bytram had just started looking at it
[19:29:53] <janrinok> All I got was a map of the US asking me to select which state I wanted the news reporting for ...
[19:30:00] <Bytram> oops
[19:30:45] * Bytram just looked at the original submission and the first link in it worked for me, too.
[19:31:09] <Bytram> link was: http://hosted.ap.org

[19:31:11] <exec> └─ 13independentmail.com: AP News
[19:31:35] <janrinok> well the link in the original story was not the same as the one that you gave me - I have corrected it
[19:32:18] <janrinok> The data after the '?' was missing in the story that was there originally, which resulted in me getting the AP page I gues
[19:32:22] <Bytram> what I did was, after seeing your msg in here, was grab a sentence that seemed selective and did a search for it... got a bunch of hits so
[19:32:24] <janrinok> !guess
[19:32:32] <janrinok> so did I
[19:32:49] <janrinok> that's why there are now 4 extra links
[19:32:59] <Bytram> I added another sentence, and still got a bunch of hits... that forced me to take another look at the original sub
[19:33:02] <Bytram> lol
[19:33:03] <Bytram> =)

[19:34:21] <Bytram> gutenberg
[19:39:14] <janrinok> I've made great progress with Arthur this weekend - it is functioning much better now and I'm just working on the automatic submission routine. It will still human intervention but much less than before, and the submission is much easier to process.
[19:39:31] <janrinok> *still need human
[19:39:56] * Bytram still needs humans, too.
[19:40:42] <janrinok> yes, but I can't eat a full one nowadays. My appetite is not what it once was ...
[19:40:56] <Bytram> "long pig"
[19:43:22] <Bytram> not sure if I handlded the gutenberg story well... trying to separate the 'reporting' from the 'opinion' --- should we keep the opinion? I think it was submitted well, and would like to keep it.
[19:43:30] * Bytram clicks save
[19:44:13] <janrinok> as long as it is clear that it is opinion and if you think it adds value to the story, then that is an editorial choice
[19:45:33] <Bytram> understood. I am open to other viewpoints on this and wonder what you would have done.
[19:45:43] <janrinok> should the quoted bit be in <blockquote> which would make that part easily identifiable. Then leaving FB's own words outside the blockquote indicate it is original material
[19:46:18] <Bytram> thought of that, but the reporting, as far as I could tell, was a summary of the referenced material... not a direct quote.
[19:47:47] <janrinok> I'd need to give that one more thought if you are asking how I would do it - I might even had considered a rewrite.
[19:47:56] <Bytram> nod nod
[19:47:57] <Bytram> thanks!
[19:48:35] <janrinok> FB makes valid points which are important, but as it reads at the moment it is a bit confusing (to me). The layout needs tidying up which would also help
[19:48:51] <Bytram> hrrm
[19:48:51] <Bytram> k
[19:49:01] * Bytram goes back in for a 2nd look
[19:50:01] <janrinok> Looking at the source, it is not an easy one to write so I can see why FB has done it the way he has. I would rewrite it as a discussion, explaining what has occurred and making very few, if any, direct quotations.
[19:52:26] <janrinok> The first part, when looked at in that context, is OK apart from minor layout issues. I wouldn't bother with the <opinion> tags, as the whole thing is 'opinion' or his version of events. I would rewrite the extended text to open up the discussion on the implications of what has happened
[19:52:37] <janrinok> Bytram ^^ ping
[19:52:42] <Bytram> pong
[19:53:00] <janrinok> wasn't sure if you were away rewriting everything again :0
[19:53:12] <Bytram> apprecaite it
[19:54:02] <Bytram> though I understand your distinction on "opinion" tags, I think it serves a valuable purpose separating what he is attempting to portray as a summary of *what* happened, separate and distinct about what he *thinks* about it.
[19:54:21] <janrinok> Issues such as why should a US organisation be subject to German laws - I find it amazing that a US judge has come down that way
[19:55:03] <Bytram> good point
[19:55:10] <janrinok> that is similar to one of the main reasons why the UK wants out of Europe. We are being controlled by laws that we don't agree with
[19:55:41] <janrinok> would the US consider itself bound, for example, by Saudi or Iranian law?
[19:56:25] <Bytram> no, but would prolly not mind imposing us law on them... :/ see, for example, microsoft vs us wrt irish emails (IIRC)
[19:57:03] <janrinok> yep, exactly. This is a major issue and worth discussing - but the implications are far-reaching
[19:57:25] <Bytram> looking for a selection I can blockquote in the front part
[19:57:31] <Bytram> real close now
[19:57:35] <janrinok> there is no law of the internet - and no one country should be able to dictate such a thing
[19:58:10] <janrinok> I've got to go - S is waiting to go to sleep. Have a good one and hopefully will speak to you tomorrow
[19:58:28] <Bytram> agreed
[19:58:35] <Bytram> good to see ya --- have a GREAT night!

[23:47:53] <takyon> is 50 launches worth a story?
[23:48:41] <Bytram> I dunno. Just saw it in #rss-bot and went to see what was up.
[23:49:00] <Bytram> not terribly important, but an important milestone
