[00:14:59] <t3> the kobo elipsa looks nice, but there's so much hype and speculation about new display tech coming soon that I'm hesitant
[00:40:46] <kyonko_> I knew of the zilog 80 trainer board, but I didn't know about the microproffessor MP-1
[00:42:34] <kyonko_> I can't stand kde plasma.... only kde 3.5
[00:42:45] <kyonko_> haven't tried MATE yet
[00:49:01] <requerdanos> hmm, few are the people who know what Mate is but haven't tried it at least once.
[00:52:52] <kyonko_> its gnome2 updated
[00:53:10] <kyonko_> I don't strictly need touch screen access in linux
[00:53:28] <kyonko_> i'm good with mouse
[01:12:34] <t3> damn new laptop is so thin the cat wants to chew on it, already put a hole in the corner before i caught him
[01:17:06] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - GameStop Stock Falls Sharply Amid 5M-Share Sales Plan, SEC Investigation - https://sylnt.us - sharp-pointy-lines
[01:36:44] <kyonko_> I got a post covid chip shortage lenovo chromebook with glove compatible touch screen
[01:37:41] <kyonko_> I need a new samsung android phone
[01:39:09] <kyonko_> it can be articulated into a keyboarded tablet
[01:39:18] <kyonko_> very lite, weighs like a runt kitten
[01:42:48] <Runaway1956> How many runt kittens make one healthy dog?
[01:44:19] <kyonko_> depends if its an asthmahound chihuahua
[01:45:14] <requerdanos> Dogs are, unfortunately for this line of thought, not made of kittens.
[01:46:19] <kyonko_> i know what he meant tho
[01:46:35] <requerdanos> is it a mass-equivalence thing?
[01:46:44] <kyonko_> more like alchemy
[01:46:57] <kyonko_> give up sex to know the truth
[01:47:32] <requerdanos> alchemy sex thing. got it.
[02:15:07] <raxas> feeding kittens to dog is an untolerable crime
[02:16:09] <t3> feeding dog to kittens is OK, just make sure to tenderize it so they don't strain those jaws

[02:20:20] <systemd> ^ 037.62x51mm Rifles And Miniguns Adapted To Fire Longer-Range Polymer Cased 6.8mm Ammo In Tests
[02:20:56] <Runaway1956> polymer casings - reduce weight and increase velocity and range all at the same time?
[02:27:07] <kyonko_> hubris, something is going to get soft and melt
[02:27:40] <raxas> I am not sure if such ammunition will be sufficient against russian robots cladded in ceramic titanium boride armor. adequate against homeland riots though
[02:28:49] <kyonko_> oh i've seen them
[02:28:56] <kyonko_> they work, for like, single shots
[02:29:07] <kyonko_> non-reloadable
[02:29:19] <kyonko_> it would be a good idea for the hunter market
[02:29:46] <kyonko_> czechs love guns
[02:29:51] <kyonko_> they are always inventing them
[02:30:22] <kyonko_> behind the view of prying eyes a man will always be crafting a gun
[02:30:57] <kyonko_> computers under strict end user control are the new guns tho

[02:31:35] <systemd> ^ 03Пушка Гаусса Gauss Gun "COBRA" CoilGun
[02:31:56] <kyonko_> you would have thought the CIS would have created caseless guns, but they haven't
[02:32:05] <kyonko_> because their idea of gun works good enough
[02:33:27] <kyonko_> the biggest modern day war horse machine gun is kalashnikov designed and fires a cartridge from the 1890's

[02:34:50] <systemd> ^ 03Police watch man strip naked, destroy motorcycle, bite tree: 'Thanks to legislators, we couldn't do anything'
[02:35:02] <kyonko_> he's not hurting anyone
[02:35:10] <kyonko_> was the motorcycle his?
[02:35:27] <kyonko_> lol its police news
[02:35:31] <Runaway1956> I'm of two minds on that one
[02:35:56] <kyonko_> human bites are terrible if you catch one
[02:35:57] <Runaway1956> He probably should have taken a ride to the local looney bin for observation, and probably sedation
[02:36:02] <kyonko_> even a bite on clothing is unnerving
[02:36:11] <kyonko_> Runaway1956, euthanasia!
[02:36:25] <Runaway1956> of course, not knowing what he was high on, sedation might be out of the question
[02:36:36] <kyonko_> he's high on YHWH
[02:36:47] <Runaway1956> at least the cops didn't shoot him for being sassy
[02:37:00] <kyonko_> the computer didn't tell the cops to
[02:37:21] <Runaway1956> "disrespect of an officer of the law" was a capital offense very recently
[02:37:30] <kyonko_> lol where?
[02:38:16] <kyonko_> I don't dig cops acting like armed and violent catholic priests
[02:38:26] <kyonko_> the catholic padres already do enough harm raping kids
[02:39:45] <kyonko_> they know why they do it tho
[02:40:11] <kyonko_> government is exactly the same, infact, they are competitors

[02:41:24] <Runaway1956> spoiled bitches, all of them
[02:41:46] <kyonko_> we need a real life james bond, for real real life james bond villians
[02:42:26] <raxas> to me, james bond was a villain
[02:42:31] <kyonko_> baby stewie from family guy was a cartoon, but these people exist by the hundreds world wide

[02:42:47] <kyonko_> who was the last monarch of the czechs?
[02:43:18] <Runaway1956> I didn't know the czechs could afford their own monarch - didn't they just borrow and import from other places?
[02:43:25] <raxas> we were occupied by austria for 300 years
[02:43:33] <kyonko_> they got conquered
[02:43:37] <Runaway1956> Yeah, something like that
[02:43:50] <kyonko_> but you guys had guns
[02:43:52] <t3> USA is the evil empire these days
[02:43:59] <t3> james bond is gonna be chinese
[02:44:14] <Runaway1956> Czechoslovakia is the Nigeria of Europe
[02:44:26] <Runaway1956> or the Congo
[02:44:27] <kyonko_> nigeria of europe is spain
[02:44:36] <kyonko_> congo of europe is france
[02:45:01] <raxas> none of those monarchs are considerd 'my'. similarly to scotchland or ireland
[02:45:30] <kyonko_> do you know how the czech language formed?

[02:45:38] <systemd> ^ 03How to move VirtualBox VMs from one drive to another
[02:46:07] <Runaway1956> Monarchs never belong to you - they own you
[02:46:07] <raxas> czech is very similar sanskrit, just like other slavic languages
[02:46:26] <kyonko_> if you want to be deep, then yes
[02:46:33] <kyonko_> indo-european
[02:46:42] <Runaway1956> That's what kills me about the UK - they claim to be a democracy, but they keep their monarch
[02:46:59] <kyonko_> the US is rich with fake freedom
[02:47:44] <kyonko_> bill gates is setting the world on fire, being free won't mean anything
[02:47:46] <Runaway1956> Ohhh I don't know about fake freedom - I've always gone where I pleased, and done as I liked
[02:48:37] * Runaway1956 reads more on moving VMs from /home to a media drive
[02:48:37] <t3> freedom is a state of being, you either are or are not
[02:48:45] <kyonko_> why isn't bill gates at leveanworth or adx
[02:48:46] <t3> laws don't have anything to do with it
[02:49:47] <kyonko_> freedom pretty much boils down to: nature is going to kill you, or you are going to get killed or bound if you caught doing it
[02:49:52] <raxas> guys did you noticed the current political wokeism wave does not apply to europe's monarchs?
[02:50:04] <raxas> that's the key to the situation
[02:50:06] <kyonko_> yeah nobody mentions monarchs
[02:50:21] <kyonko_> I know what king leopold did
[02:50:34] <Runaway1956> Not quite accurate - the news is constantly being choked with news on the royal family
[02:51:08] <kyonko_> what do you think of oliver cromwell and his longbowl and matchlock gun war, raxas ?
[02:51:15] <Runaway1956> I think women are worse than men -
[02:51:27] <Runaway1956> chicks all want to squeeze a prince's penis
[02:51:45] <kyonko_> a nurse does that all the time putting a catheter in
[02:52:24] <raxas> cromwell was just a first modern dictator, a model for all future modern dictators
[02:52:40] <raxas> and nothing changed since
[02:52:50] <kyonko_> oh my god, don't say you liked lenin?
[02:53:25] <kyonko_> the english civilwar had a lot of swordplay
[02:53:36] <raxas> at least lenin cared about real people
[02:53:45] <kyonko_> english civil war of cromwell is easy to war game
[02:54:20] <kyonko_> you are a trip raxas
[02:54:45] <kyonko_> you could say mao was cool because he ended male castration in china
[02:55:32] <kyonko_> mao may he ended centuries tradition of castration in china, but he killed them before they reached reproductive age tho
[02:55:48] <kyonko_> now its done in mental gymnastics
[02:56:11] <raxas> male castration should be compulsory for all civil servant officials and candidates
[02:56:17] <kyonko_> oh no shit?
[02:56:36] <kyonko_> run by eunuchs?
[02:56:39] <t3> that would probably solve quite a few problems
[02:56:44] <kyonko_> hahahahahahaha
[02:56:56] <raxas> it worked well in ancient times
[02:57:03] <kyonko_> too bad catholic priests arent castrated
[02:57:12] <kyonko_> freud mentions castration a lot
[02:57:47] <kyonko_> I got 4 cats I need to get spayed/neutered
[03:03:23] <kyonko_> castration doesn't stop... ugh i don't know

[04:56:36] <FatPhil> I don't understand why people like Zizek's witterings so much, he's amusing in his delivery, but he has no great insights into anything, IME.
[04:58:35] <FatPhil> He can be wrong, he can be right. Toss a coin. As someone into information theory, that makes him useless as anything apart from a source of entropy.
[05:02:53] <AzumaHazuki> FatPhil: because he tells them what they want to hear and he's "politically incorrect"
[05:03:03] <AzumaHazuki> so catnip to an unhinged conspiracy nut like runaway
[05:04:18] <t3> can the problem be solved if runaway switches to real drugs instead of catnip?
[05:06:00] <AzumaHazuki> depends on the drug, i think
[05:07:20] <FatPhil> AzumaHazuki: there's some of that. I'm not particularly deviant from his political beliefs, but think what he writes is obvious because of that.
[05:08:24] <AzumaHazuki> we are not dealing with well minds here. civilization is approaching a crisis point and no one knows what's coming out of it
[05:08:28] <FatPhil> for some context, raxas just submitted https://www.rt.com , which I broadly agree with. But don't see it as having any great philosophical or ethical insights.
[05:08:30] <systemd> ^ 03Slavoj Žižek: The difference between ‘woke’ and a true awakening
[05:10:58] <t3> I don't agree, because I don't see these "wokes" anywhere but RWNJs imaginations
[05:11:20] <t3> cancel culture karens have very little overlap with "woke"
[05:17:23] <FatPhil> if you're prepared to overlap karenism with cancel culture, you're clearly able to cast a very broad net over concepts, and woke really should have been part of such coverage.
[05:18:36] <AzumaHazuki> it's all hypocrisy. anytime you see a "conservative" rageshitting their pants, know you're looking at someone complanining about someone else doing something said "conservative" has done, is doing, will do, or wishes to do
[05:18:39] <AzumaHazuki> it's that simple
[05:19:15] <AzumaHazuki> it boils down to "fuck you, only ME and MY TRIBE get to do that! You're outgroup!"
[05:19:27] <t3> cancel culture is just people getting upset in the age of mass media
[05:19:40] <t3> it's nothing new or special or worthy of attention
[05:20:20] <t3> but I have yet to meet real life "woke" nutjobs
[05:20:57] <t3> meanwhile I can find 100x crackheads with nazi tattoos anywhere around
[05:21:41] <AzumaHazuki> like i said...projection
[05:25:06] <FatPhil> I agree that the proportions are distorted in the conservative media, but that doesn't mean that the smaller problem is zero.
[05:25:39] <AzumaHazuki> this is true. have you noticed, though, that especially younger people like me, while we usually vote D, aren't tribal about it?
[05:26:06] <AzumaHazuki> my generation has no specific tribal loyalty. we're literally just voting for the people least likely to collapse the nation around our heads
[05:26:15] <FatPhil> And certainly, there's a lot of hypocrisy, an absolute lack of self-reflection, and lack of awareness of how your actions would be viewed if labels were reversed.
[05:26:34] <AzumaHazuki> this seems to make older, more "conservative" voters a little nuts. they can't comprehend anything outside their experiene
[05:27:41] <FatPhil> No offence to you personally, obviously, I would hope I wouldn't need the disclaimer, but I see a *lot* of extremely tribal behaviour among young D voters. They're some of the least critical thinkers I've encountered.
[05:28:25] <FatPhil> I think peak stupidity became obvious when there was groupthink of supporting the corrupt psychopath with a vagina 5 years ago.
[05:28:54] <t3> we are the most propagandized and also the most educated generation, both the least and most ignorant
[05:29:02] <AzumaHazuki> you give them too little credit. almost no one i knew actually liked Clinton, they just knew a Trump admin would be a shitshow
[05:29:05] <AzumaHazuki> and lo and behold...
[05:29:45] <AzumaHazuki> so how about not cutting off our noses to spite our faces, hm? we know how bad the situation is. why do you think i've been so intent on escaping north? i feel like a refugee in my own country
[05:30:36] <FatPhil> Yup, of course the shitnozzles which splort information about the US to me are probably not that representative of large proportions of the country, I accept that.
[05:31:28] <FatPhil> Which is why I like discussing real world perceptions with you lot. Even the political cranks ;-) But even SN is a terrible sample.
[05:31:30] <AzumaHazuki> this country is dead. i think, in hindsight, we'll realize it died in 1980. right now i can only focus on doing what's necessary to at least try and get the fuck out before it all implodes
[05:31:42] <AzumaHazuki> yeah SN has a hideous rightwing nutjob infestation
[05:34:59] <AzumaHazuki> i cannot believe some of the utter psychopathic shit i've seen advanced by some of SN's commenters with, presumably, the closest things to a straight face they own.
[05:37:16] <t3> it's more interesting to let everyone have their say thoughOC
[05:37:17] <t3> OCOC
[05:37:43] <AzumaHazuki> oh, yeah, i'm not saying not to let people condemn themselves with their own words
[05:37:45] <FatPhil> I'd not call them psychopaths, I think sociopath is the word you're looking for!
[05:38:18] <AzumaHazuki> FatPhil: in either case, they've willingly and even gleefully thrown their human card in the incinerator. after wiping their ass on it.
[05:40:24] <FatPhil> their view on the essence of humanity is mostly non-overlapping with ours. They'd view us as the weirdos.
[05:41:05] <t3> I don't think the racists are any kind of *path
[05:41:17] <t3> just stupid regular humans
[05:41:50] <FatPhil> yup, tribalism's everywhere, and you'll never stamp it out.
[05:41:55] <AzumaHazuki> sorry t3, but there are some lines you cross that get you disqualified from the human race for shoving. evil is real, it's out there, and it's laughing at those of us who pretend otherwise
[05:42:54] <FatPhil> I prefer a tribalism that shouts at the referee and then congratulates supporters of the opposing team after the match with a "we'll get you next time".
[05:43:51] <t3> nope, good and evil is the tribalism that destroys us, I refuse to live like that
[05:44:38] <FatPhil> in that case, you're doomed to destruction yourself, unfortunately.
[05:44:50] <t3> thats cool
[05:45:20] <FatPhil> yeah, but you're taking the rest of society with you
[05:45:32] <t3> nope, just myself
[05:45:48] <t3> that's all I can do, and all that can be expected of me
[05:45:56] <FatPhil> so you think that society *should* have a sense of good and evil, then?
[05:46:18] <t3> no, good and evil are horrible conceptions of the world
[05:46:25] <t3> that kind of thinking is a joke
[05:46:31] <t3> childish clown shit
[05:46:37] <FatPhil> then you're dooming all of society to destruction, as I first said.
[05:46:52] <t3> good
[05:47:20] <FatPhil> so by "nope, just myself", you actually meant "yes, good"?
[05:47:24] <FatPhil> Zizek, is that you?
[05:47:41] <t3> I don't think humanity is special
[05:48:09] <t3> I would be procreating and capitalizing and all that if i did
[05:48:45] <t3> I'm just gonna ride it out while it lasts
[05:50:32] <FatPhil> We're capable of great things, and I think that aspect's worth celebrating.
[05:51:27] <FatPhil> Why the *fuck* doesn't 'history' have a switch for listing things in reverse? GNU's retarded.
[05:59:18] <inz> history|tac?
[06:03:46] <FatPhil> Because if one program should have to have O(N) space, then creating more O(N) space programs is fine. If one's OK, any number's OK, amirite?
[06:08:00] <t3> isn't history a shell builtin tho?
[06:08:39] <FatPhil> the choice to output history forwards was an arbitrary decision (and an illogical one) in the first place, which is a clear indicator that both directions should be equally accessible to the user.
[06:08:49] <FatPhil> yup
[06:09:12] <FatPhil> shell has O(N) for memory of history. Solve problem by creating a tac that needs O(N) memory too.

[06:16:56] <FatPhil> well, in reality it's fail to solve problem by creating a rev that doesn't do anything useful, then create a tac that does.
[06:19:22] <chromas> I like fish's completion thingamajig
[06:19:52] <chromas> I can type something then use the arrows to go through history that matches what I typed as a substring
[06:20:22] -!- AzumaHazuki has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[06:23:01] <FatPhil> doesn't seem that dissimilar from just ctrl-R, but you need to know in advance that you'll be searching
[06:23:55] <FatPhil> so that means if you start typing a command, and then realise you just want to do the same thing you just did, you have to delete the command before you up-arrow, or is it on a different key?
[06:24:36] <t3> no fish is very slick
[06:24:52] <FatPhil> how is that a "no"? what are you disagreeing with?
[06:25:13] <t3> you don't have to delete anything, just move the arrows
[06:25:14] <chromas> "no fish" is slick ;)
[06:25:36] <chromas> it also tries to be a smartass about which directory you're in
[06:26:01] <chromas> so if I'm in the irc bot build directory then it'll try to predict the build command and whatnot
[06:26:07] <FatPhil> so that's also "yes", as my "it is on a separate key" must be right
[06:27:09] <FatPhil> I just have different shells for different work in different directories, that's how I keep my histories context sensitive
[06:27:25] <FatPhil> which also has the benefit of the scrollbacks all being relevant too.
[06:27:53] <FatPhil> Alas, GNU history can't save such state
[06:28:39] <chromas> no zsh in your box?
[06:28:46] <FatPhil> fortunately, shell windows last for months to years.
[06:29:02] <chromas> I guess it'd probably give me the same features as fish but I'd have to run the InstallShield Wizard to set it up first
[06:29:56] <FatPhil> I can get zsh on this box in 20 keypresses if I desire
[06:31:06] <t3> what are you trying to do with your shell history tho?
[06:31:11] <FatPhil> I'm not sure the different windows have different histories is an easily solvable problem anyway.
[06:31:21] <t3> just use $HISTFILE
[06:32:15] <FatPhil> HISTFILE could be shoehorned into being a solution
[06:33:13] <FatPhil> however, as I say, I rarely close windows, so I rarely lose anything
[06:47:26] <t3> I used to go to great lengths saving and logging the shell history until I realized that I almost never actually needed to go back more than 10 lines for anything that wasn't better off aliased or scripted
[06:51:02] <FatPhil> absolutely
[06:52:40] <FatPhil> one of my only uses of history now is just to pull up the command to play a vid from a series, and to edit the filename part to play the next episode.

[06:54:56] <inz> FatPhil, my assessment of GNU programs isn't that they would have too few features...
[06:55:35] <FatPhil> total agreement there
[06:56:22] <FatPhil> when I look at the manpage trying to find something simple, I'm shocked by how much irrelevant shit is polluting the programs.
[06:57:10] <FatPhil> E.g. despite what I said about history|tac earlier, I don't think that tar should have any compression options - that's what a pipe is for.

[08:35:29] <FatPhil> Just wondering what the local mainstream news is like regarding world news and covid in India.
[08:35:43] <inz> I saw neigbour's groenendael belgian shepherd this morning, but it probably doesn't count.
[08:35:51] <FatPhil> Actually, americans can answer that question too.
[08:36:31] <FatPhil> I can beat that - I saw two belgian beers in the fridge this morning!
[08:37:14] <FatPhil> And a czech, and a hungarian, for that matter, if we're cherry-picking places which have actually had a bad case of the wuflu.
[08:37:28] <FatPhil> which is indeed what I'm doing.
[08:37:49] <inz> I guess you can easily find estonian anything
[08:38:35] <FatPhil> I just got called out for saying "CoVid in India ain't that much of a disaster". Because, erm, FUCK HAVE YOU SEEN EASTERN EUROPE!!!!!
[08:39:33] <FatPhil> Well, that's the reason I said it, not the reason I'm being called out.
[08:40:23] <FatPhil> I think I'm being called out because in absolute terms the numbers look scary. But that's not how I do population statistics. I do them on a per-capita basis.
[08:43:28] <inz> Large number in a large country is a problem too, but not due to the humanitarian reasons, but simply because it's a huge amount of entropy for mutation.

[18:37:53] <kyonko_> raxas, the cia already has a custom hellfire missile that flowers into a sword
[18:38:52] <kyonko_> explosives have a really hard time against mass, but i can imagine a quadrotor in the battlefield picking up and droping grenades untill stopped or destroyed
[18:39:40] <kyonko_> the most heinous terrorist attacks to date were the dolphinarium discotheque in israel and the peace rally in turkey
[18:40:42] <kyonko_> a drone crashing into an unshielding human is crazy enough
[18:41:10] <kyonko_> but drones are expensive and thus have to consider self preservation untill triggered not to
[18:42:33] <kyonko_> the 2013 boston marathon bombing was the first time and only time GORE was featured frontpage in MSM
[18:42:50] <raxas> I consider such kind of attacks harmful to programmable machines and that's not acceptable in my ethics
[18:43:27] <kyonko_> we got von neumann architecture going strong into AI, now its time for the self assembling machine to start
[18:44:23] <kyonko_> raxas, its a bit too late to do anything about the autonomous reaper and predator drones in operation since 2010's
[18:47:13] <raxas> I remember czech scouts from Prostějov unit hacked a predator or something in NATO excercises in early 2000's. it had crappy solaris operating on control workstations and unprotected communication protocol
[18:47:15] <kyonko_> or musk's conscious tesla
[18:48:05] <raxas> I could not stop laughing about it. and the same happened again in afghanistan several years later
[18:48:22] <kyonko_> remember the fake iranian flying wing drone they forced to land
[18:54:56] <kyonko_> wowzers, freezing fucked the flavor up of these frozen beef hotdogs

[22:12:52] <kyonko_> no, not hebrew national
[22:13:14] <chromas> wasn't there a thing awhile back about hebrew national hot dogs not actually being kosher?
[22:13:24] <kyonko_> something off with the paprika they put in them
[22:13:29] <chromas> besides, they could still be sheep butts
[22:13:32] <kyonko_> they are NOT kosher
[22:13:43] <kyonko_> its for secular jews
[22:14:05] <chromas> Maybe that was it...implied kosherosity but not really
[22:14:20] <kyonko_> its funny how in covid19 in israel, the secular jews locked down and the orthodox still crowded the wailing rock
[22:14:29] <kyonko_> nah chromas
[22:14:34] <kyonko_> its the delictassen heritage
[22:14:53] <kyonko_> you went to a big city deli, you either got jew owned kosher, or... uh.... christian?
[22:15:16] <kyonko_> thats where you got your kielbasa and shit

[22:35:05] <kyonko_> giants are like angel wings
[22:35:23] <kyonko_> if we all start as zygotes, then it all makes sense
[22:35:35] <raxas> also, Carlos Castaneda and his don Juan Matus magic was quite a popular thing here in previous decades

[22:36:03] <kyonko_> there is some guy called "john milton" who hypnotises people and inserts biopsy needles into them
[22:42:10] <raxas> science is self-limiting. it cannot explain events which happen only once per universe. or twice. or thrice. result reproducibility requirement is a barrier to understand these rare events

[22:53:22] <Bytram> that depends... how does it add up?
[22:54:23] <kyonko_> measuring everything is part of the old math, but the new math goes into measuring the 4th dimension
[22:54:45] <kyonko_> you have to measure the air pressure above the triangle drawn on the textbook
[22:55:21] <kyonko_> and we were also expected to do binary arithmatic in 1st grade and make LOGO draw on the apple II's

[23:03:33] <Bytram> kyonko_: I appreciate your sharing here, but this is the #soylent channel and was not intended to be a single person's stream-of-consciousness blog. I have received complaints. Please notice, in the last 20 minutes, who has posted here and what they wrote. I'd ask you to compare that to other people's contributions to this channel.
[23:05:12] <Bytram> Am not saying don't share, not at all, but would suggest trying to moderate your contributions and try to stay more in line with how others share here.
[23:08:03] <raxas> for everyone, it's easy to issue the irc /ignore command on a nick, instead of woke complaints
