[00:48:16] <Bytram> Runaway1956: Hi!
[01:28:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> FatPhil, that was a seriously retarded movie
[01:29:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> Bytram, it means something approaching "like this" or if you're feeling archaic, "thus"
[01:30:43] <Bytram> TheMightyBuzzard: what does?
[01:30:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> sic
[01:31:13] <TheMightyBuzzard> see the topic in #dev, thus always to bugs
[01:31:30] <Bytram> My understanding is that it indicates that what you see, is exactly as it was received.
[01:31:44] <Bytram> which is what you said. =)
[01:32:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> yeah, we separate a little finer in english but the core concepts are the same
[01:33:29] <Bytram> or, as I have so often heard it put in the world of computers: GIGO
[01:35:47] <TheMightyBuzzard> nah, we just use different words for the same concept depending on context.

[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...
[06:59:18] <FatPhil> oh gawd, there's this: https://www.youtube.com
[06:59:19] <upstart> ^ 03Brad Pitt Says Ad Astra Is About Toxic Masculinity
[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.
[07:12:08] <FatPhil> you should have had a rant here about it, and hopefully saved me my sheckels!
[07:13:26] <SemperOSS> LOL
[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.
[07:18:15] <SemperOSS> Hopefully university can infuse him with some critical thinking.
[07:20:47] <chromas> huahahahaha
[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?
[07:25:31] <SemperOSS> I mean, I learnt about toga parties when at uni, reenacting old Roman traditions. What better way to learn about history?
[07:34:17] <FatPhil> I like beer
[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
[07:55:59] <upstart> ^ 03Science vs Cinema
[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.

[18:50:57] <chromas> Is this about the orgasmic rabbits?
[19:15:59] <FatPhil> your task is to splash as much blackcurrent juice on the blanket as possible!
[19:17:31] <chromas> FatPhil: re docking, I was thinking of how windows can be docked to each other in gimp or other programs
[19:17:40] <chromas> so they're stuck together or tabbed (or both)
[19:24:13] <FatPhil> ooh, interesting, I've not encountered.
[19:24:48] <chromas> I was hoping something like that existed but maybe not
[19:25:11] <chromas> i know fluxbox has tabbing. KDE used to but it was incredibly buggy
[19:27:06] <AndyTheAbsurd> sounds like what chromas wants is sort of a tiling window manager
[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.
[19:28:18] <chromas> Maybe I just need to learn all the shortcuts
[19:28:35] <chromas> I played with awesome and some others and didn't like the defaults
[19:29:25] * chromas should probably put some more time in
[19:32:19] <chromas> Maybe there's a tabbing tiler
[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
[19:45:44] <TheMightyBuzzard> i stuck online pidgin contacts on the desktop via conky script and minimized the window to the tray
[19:46:04] <chromas> so then you have to dig out the desktop
[19:46:10] <chromas> but that's pretty neat
[19:46:23] <chromas> conky++
[19:46:23] <Bender> karma - conky: 9
[19:46:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> multi-monitor and i have hotkeys to use wmctrl for window sizing/placement so that bit never gets covered
[19:47:18] <chromas> I wish there was an alternative to pidgin but there are zero
[19:47:30] <TheMightyBuzzard> it's too good at its job
[19:47:41] <chromas> kde has telepathy integration but telepathy is trash
[19:47:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> that's okay, so is kde
[19:48:02] <chromas> you take that back
[19:48:08] * chromas literally shakes
[19:48:10] * TheMightyBuzzard trolls
[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
[19:49:14] <chromas> probably a config file somewhere to do that x-wide though
[19:49:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> why would your desktop have a touchpad?
[19:49:26] <chromas> Why wouldn't it?
[19:49:53] <chromas> actually my drawing tablet is also a touchpad but it's pretty terrible

[19:50:38] <TheMightyBuzzard> Option "tapping" "on" in xorg.conf
[19:50:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> arcane magic, i tells ya
[19:51:57] <chromas> Yeah. I don't have an xorg.conf
[19:53:28] <chromas> I think sections can go into file in xorg.conf.d or something right?
[19:54:31] * TheMightyBuzzard blinks
[19:54:34] <TheMightyBuzzard> make one
[19:55:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> just put the bits you need in it and ignore the rest if x is already handling them fine
[19:55:39] <chromas> it's been so long, I forgot how it works
[19:55:56] * chromas makes tmb do all the thinkin' so he can be more lazy
[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.

[20:03:39] <chromas> Sweet. Now I can use gnome3 :D
