[20:54:32] <FatPhil> handy hint: a) call the right function; and b) check the return value sensibly.
[20:53:56] <FatPhil> just had a flash of inspiration today, and everything just fell into place.
[20:53:38] <FatPhil> woo fuckin' woo! fixed a bug that's been in my code for 6 fricken months (ever since I wrote it!)
[20:51:13] -!- Web_weasel has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[20:15:14] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Simple Changes in Intensity of Weather Events 'Could be Lethal' - https://sylnt.us
[20:07:58] <Bender> karma - nicotine: 736
[20:07:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> nicotine++
[20:07:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> smoke break
[20:07:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> weird. i use networkmanager and it don't do that to me. not that i log out very often.
[20:06:38] <Bender> karma - tmb: 14
[20:06:38] <chromas> tmb++
[20:04:53] <chromas> oh I remember now. Some DEs like lxqt gave me the option to tap, but it was disabled
[20:03:39] <chromas> Sweet. Now I can use gnome3 :D
[19:59:50] <chromas> Logging out shuts down the network connection
[19:59:39] <Bender> karma - networkmanager: -1
[19:59:39] <chromas> networkmanager--
[19:57:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> make an xorg.conf, put the quoted bit from that link in it, restart your graphical login manager if you use one or just x if you don't.
[19:55:56] * chromas makes tmb do all the thinkin' so he can be more lazy
[19:55:39] <chromas> it's been so long, I forgot how it works
[19:55:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> just put the bits you need in it and ignore the rest if x is already handling them fine
[19:54:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> make one
[19:54:31] * TheMightyBuzzard blinks
[19:53:28] <chromas> I think sections can go into file in xorg.conf.d or something right?
[19:51:57] <chromas> Yeah. I don't have an xorg.conf
[19:50:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> arcane magic, i tells ya
[19:50:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> Option "tapping" "on" in xorg.conf
[19:50:12] <upstart> ^ 03Deltamodel | Linux: Activating the Touchpad for Mouse Clicks (Tap to Click) | Deltamodel
[19:50:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> https://www.deltamodel.com
[19:49:53] <chromas> actually my drawing tablet is also a touchpad but it's pretty terrible
[19:49:26] <chromas> Why wouldn't it?
[19:49:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> why would your desktop have a touchpad?
[19:49:14] <chromas> probably a config file somewhere to do that x-wide though
[19:48:46] <chromas> I've been trying other stuff on my laptop but kde's the only one that lets me tap-to-click on the touchpad
[19:48:10] * TheMightyBuzzard trolls
[19:48:08] * chromas literally shakes
[19:48:02] <chromas> you take that back
[19:47:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's okay, so is kde
[19:47:41] <chromas> kde has telepathy integration but telepathy is trash
[19:47:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's too good at its job
[19:47:18] <chromas> I wish there was an alternative to pidgin but there are zero
[19:46:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> multi-monitor and i have hotkeys to use wmctrl for window sizing/placement so that bit never gets covered
[19:46:23] <Bender> karma - conky: 9
[19:46:23] <chromas> conky++
[19:46:10] <chromas> but that's pretty neat
[19:46:04] <chromas> so then you have to dig out the desktop
[19:45:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> i stuck online pidgin contacts on the desktop via conky script and minimized the window to the tray
[19:33:02] <chromas> I just don't wanna waste space with, say, Pidgin's contact list, so it'd be nice to group it with other narrow windows. or something
[19:32:19] <chromas> Maybe there's a tabbing tiler
[19:29:25] * chromas should probably put some more time in
[19:28:35] <chromas> I played with awesome and some others and didn't like the defaults
[19:28:18] <chromas> Maybe I just need to learn all the shortcuts
[19:27:43] <AndyTheAbsurd> but "docking" typically means that a sub-window exists inside the program's main window, whereas tiling would be snapped to the outside of a window.
[19:27:06] <AndyTheAbsurd> sounds like what chromas wants is sort of a tiling window manager
[19:25:11] <chromas> i know fluxbox has tabbing. KDE used to but it was incredibly buggy
[19:24:48] <chromas> I was hoping something like that existed but maybe not
[19:24:13] <FatPhil> ooh, interesting, I've not encountered.
[19:17:40] <chromas> so they're stuck together or tabbed (or both)
[19:17:31] <chromas> FatPhil: re docking, I was thinking of how windows can be docked to each other in gimp or other programs
[19:15:59] <FatPhil> your task is to splash as much blackcurrent juice on the blanket as possible!
[18:50:57] <chromas> Is this about the orgasmic rabbits?

[15:33:04] <Runaway1956> Of course not. Raisins aren't as extreme as our Extreme Grape Jerky.

[10:13:53] <chromas> burgers++
[10:13:48] <chromas> nice
[10:11:52] <FatPhil> who cares if the branding is gimicky - the burger was fantastic, and hyoooooooge.

[09:45:13] <chromas> also, my ancient ancestors were Angus, so you're appropriating my culture
[09:44:31] <chromas> seems gimmicky
[09:43:59] <chromas> is black angus really better?
[09:38:08] <FatPhil> taking my dietary advice from SN
[09:37:48] <FatPhil> n.e. black angus burger

[07:56:37] <FatPhil> although after half-trashing it, he says he really liked some of the more stupid bits, and wanted it more stupid. Which may have worked, to be honest.
[07:55:59] <upstart> ^ 03Science vs Cinema
[07:55:57] <FatPhil> apparently it was such a bad movie it motivated one reviewer/debunker to come out of retirement! https://www.youtube.com
[07:34:17] <FatPhil> I like beer
[07:25:31] <SemperOSS> I mean, I learnt about toga parties when at uni, reenacting old Roman traditions. What better way to learn about history?
[07:22:16] <SemperOSS> Do I sense a slight doubt about the possible role of universities in adjusting young people's mindset in a positive manner?
[07:20:47] <chromas> huahahahaha
[07:18:15] <SemperOSS> Hopefully university can infuse him with some critical thinking.
[07:16:40] <SemperOSS> Well let's see if I like Joker better. Watching it Friday with my son (as I did Ad Astra). Unfortunately, the sprog is not very critical and easily satisfied with most movies — especially if they belong to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
[07:13:26] <SemperOSS> LOL
[07:12:08] <FatPhil> you should have had a rant here about it, and hopefully saved me my sheckels!
[07:09:19] <SemperOSS> I've seen Ad Astra and did not like it. It had plenty of factual problems with the science, the worst being weightlessness despite engines running full pelt. The story was really not worth it either and did not need any sci-fi element to be told ... in ten minutes.
[06:59:19] <upstart> ^ 03Brad Pitt Says Ad Astra Is About Toxic Masculinity
[06:59:18] <FatPhil> oh gawd, there's this: https://www.youtube.com
[06:56:50] <FatPhil> chromas: I wonder if cinema sins has done ad astra, although it deserves a more mr plinkett trashing, I'll check...

[01:35:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, we just use different words for the same concept depending on context.
[01:33:29] <Bytram> or, as I have so often heard it put in the world of computers: GIGO
[01:32:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, we separate a little finer in english but the core concepts are the same
[01:31:44] <Bytram> which is what you said. =)
[01:31:30] <Bytram> My understanding is that it indicates that what you see, is exactly as it was received.
[01:31:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> see the topic in #dev, thus always to bugs
[01:30:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> sic
[01:30:43] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: what does?
[01:29:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, it means something approaching "like this" or if you're feeling archaic, "thus"
[01:28:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, that was a seriously retarded movie

[00:02:40] <Bytram> takyon++ Thanks for having a story submission I can just skim, approve, and drop into the story queue!!!!
[00:02:01] <Bytram> Annnd, it has run dry.
[00:01:43] <Bytram> And now it's time to check the story queue.
[00:00:48] <Bytram> And it's paid for, is old so the insurance and registration are much less expensive.
[00:00:14] <Bytram> Still, even with the towing, less money than a couple car payments!!
