[16:20:48] <requerdanos> in the world of GUI every day, being at the console is often accompanied by "I wonder what went wrong." Scrollback helps with that, right?
[16:31:00] <SoyGuest88839> what about good old-fashioned text mode consoles, rather than those fancy schmancy modern framebuffer ones.

[17:14:08] <chromas> Lame. You can't even have gradient scrollbars on the console
[17:14:43] <chromas> The best you can do is set the background color; you may as well be running the Windows 10 start menu
[17:18:28] <inz> but with console, your task is already done in the time the start menu takes to open
[17:19:05] <RandomFactor> Coupon, Coupoff. I suppose it depends how you count coup.
[17:19:39] <requerdanos> You could set them on fire. I know an old Indian trick...
[17:25:39] <SoyGuest88839> a coup is a cut or removal (same root word as the putsch definition), the coupon is the small thing cut off.
[17:26:24] <SoyGuest88839> coupons used to be attached to something, and got torn off when relevant, often as receipts.
[17:39:45] <requerdanos> any way you slice that, it still supports "coup off" and not "coup on"
[17:49:52] <SoyGuest88839> but the "on" isn't "on", it's diminuative.
[17:50:02] <SoyGuest88839> blame the french

[17:52:42] <AzumaHazuki> i figured out what makes tmux awesome: it's a tiling window manager, but within a terminal so you can use your normal environment
[17:52:51] <AzumaHazuki> all the autism in a nice, self-contained package
[17:53:31] <requerdanos> as opposed to 'screen' that the normies use?
[17:56:46] <AzumaHazuki> either one
[17:57:03] <AzumaHazuki> i did remax tmux's prefix to be Ctrl-A and add some urxvt-style keybinds
[17:57:38] <AzumaHazuki> okay, time for me to piss off and go to work...

[18:05:06] <nutherguy> Are all liberal OCD?
[18:14:23] <requerdanos> what a strange attempted link
[18:15:30] <requerdanos> plenty of liberal slobs with poor attention to detail, as with conservatives or other groups
[18:19:17] <SoyGuest88839> "liberal" is also so poorly defined it could probably apply to 2/3rds of the population.
[18:25:00] <requerdanos> As good a definition as any pictured here http://images.huffingtonpost.com
[18:27:23] <chromas> they put authoritarian at the bottom. that's not where it goes. I demand it be flipped to match the political compass!
[18:33:04] <SoyGuest88839> I love the "big government" label. Your anti-big-government party is actually one of the biggest-government parties imaginable.
[18:33:34] <requerdanos> uh, so far as I know, the only anti-big-government party we have is the libertarians, with scant success and representation

[18:43:49] <SoyGuest88839> the 'pugs do claim to be anti-big-government, but do nothing apart from reducing taxes for billionaires every so often to back that up.
[18:49:04] <chromas> republicans claim video games normalize violence. democrats claim video games normalize sexism
[18:49:19] <chromas> vidya's the real victim here
[19:14:16] <SoyGuest88839> maybe it's just violent sex that normalises vidya games?
