[03:32:44] <chromas> Konqueror's still around too. It's got a built-in adblocker, though on arch, I don't see any way to add internet lists like it used to. It's all disabled for me
[03:35:36] <Bytram> its lists have been de-listed?
[03:42:29] <chromas> Listicles. Probably got fixed.
[03:44:28] <Bytram> You mean it was... neutered?
[03:44:48] <Bytram> or was that spayed?

[08:32:07] <Gandhi> There was some problem?
[08:33:31] -!- aristachus has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[08:50:26] <Gandhi> So, IRC strickly limited to subjects of the Crown?
[08:50:43] <boru> I sure wish Otter browser gained a bit more traction. IMO, the main thing missing from these smaller browser projects are plugin/extension frameworks.
[08:51:00] <boru> I think they'd probably gain more ground with those.
[08:51:23] <boru> Especially if they provided some sort of standard interface such that plugins could be used across them all.
[08:51:52] <Gandhi> Seems the plug-ins are banned as soon as the get popular.
[08:52:20] <boru> I haven't experienced that myself.
[08:52:33] <boru> I don't see how people could ban them, either.
[08:53:12] <Gandhi> No-Script on Palemoon is an object lesson.
[08:53:17] <boru> Someone here, or somewhere else, recently mentioned some reinvention of a text-only web.
[08:53:36] <boru> Ah, that. Well, the PM guys are absolute twats from what I've seen.
[08:53:46] <boru> They burned their own project very badly
[08:53:58] <boru> Both, in fact. PM and basilisk, or whatever it's called.
[08:56:49] <boru> I still use a modified firefox, mostly on the principle that it's the best of a bad lot. Arkenfox and a plethora of plugins keep it usable for me, but ports are expunged with prejudice on FreeBSD these days.
[08:57:12] <boru> So, what's left? Building librewolf each release?
[08:57:25] -!- aristachus [aristachus!~cff45baa@207.244.vq.wpw] has joined #soylent
[08:57:55] <boru> I did maintain my own packagesite for a while with a bunch of ports that weren't accepted into the port tree proper, but with dwindling time these days, it's a chore to maintain that.
[08:58:03] <aristachus> Wow, managed to log in! The SoylentNews blocking is getting pretty severe!
[08:58:07] -!- Gandhi has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds]
[08:59:32] <boru> Not that severe, if it may be bypassed with merely a typo.
[09:00:09] <chromas> Someone needs to invent a Firefox fork manager
[09:01:26] <boru> Heh.

[09:03:22] <boru> What was the name of that new text-only web?
[09:03:35] <boru> I saw it on a forum recently
[09:04:02] <chromas> gopher3.3?
[09:04:19] <chromas> I don't remember it
[09:04:24] <boru> It was a new spin of gopher.
[09:05:12] <boru> I'll probably remember it later when I'm doing something else.
[09:06:38] <chromas> There's something called Gemini
[09:06:41] <chromas> And GopherVR
[09:07:01] <boru> I think it was Gemini
[09:07:55] <chromas> Needs moare blockchain
[09:09:16] <boru> Gemini eepsites would be cool.
[09:09:23] <boru> Or at least more onion and garlic.

[15:28:51] <FatPhil> janrinok: no evidence of any actual knowledge apart from a bit of slang there. Watching /Only Fools and Horses/ would be a far better use of my time.
[15:29:40] <janrinok> true - back to your TV!
[15:39:40] <t3> chili for breakfast is great, there's nothing quite like sweating in wintertime
[15:40:16] -!- AzumaHazuki has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
[15:40:31] * FatPhil recommends saunas
[15:41:23] <FatPhil> In fact, it's only 5:40, I could put the stove on.
[15:42:02] <boru> I don't get the appeal of saunas
[15:43:48] <t3> I would build a sauna, but I all the flat land is occupied and the house won't easily retrofit one
[15:44:19] <Runaway1956> Put the stove on? What are you going to put it on? Horseback? Camel back? Truck bed?
[15:44:26] <boru> No basement?
[15:44:51] <t3> nope, I live in MI so basements=flooded half the year
[15:46:44] <FatPhil> Some IR booths can be quite compact, but they're a bit crappy.
[15:47:16] * Runaway1956 agrees with boru, can't see the point of saunas
[15:47:31] * Runaway1956 associates sweating his arse off with hard work
[15:47:51] <boru> I think it's a personal preference. I prefer to be cold.

[15:48:04] <boru> >20C is too much for me.
[15:48:22] <Runaway1956> Yeah, when I feel chilled, I can always put a sweater on, or light a fire.
[15:48:43] <boru> Saunas aren't for warming up, I suppose, but rather sweating.
[15:48:50] <boru> Correct me if I'm wrong.
[15:49:18] <Runaway1956> As I understand it, they like to swim in frozen water, then warm up at the sauna
[15:50:27] <AzumaHazuki> I've heard saunas can get to near boiling. how does this not kill people?
[15:50:35] <Runaway1956> Don't get me wrong, I love the frozen tundra, but I don't want to get wet while on the tundra
[15:50:59] <boru> Warming up by a fire outdoors in dry cold is optimal for me, personally.
[15:51:16] <boru> You are warm, but also cold and not sweating.
[15:51:34] <boru> Ideally no wind.
[15:52:04] <FatPhil> Our sauna thermostat goes to 125
[15:52:07] <Runaway1956> I can take or leave the wind - up to a point at least - 80 mph gales are right out.
[15:52:37] <FatPhil> and there's about a few degrees per dm temperature gradient, so most of the body would be over boiling point.
[15:53:04] <boru> Depends on the activity: smoking my pipe by the fire, preferably no wind. Stalking deer, some wind.
[15:53:07] <FatPhil> you sweat, and that takes the heat away, the air has little thermal mass.
[15:53:13] <boru> Astronomy: back to no wind.
[15:54:01] <FatPhil> I'm no fan of bonfires in cold temperatures, as only one side gets heated.
[15:54:08] <boru> I'd be dead in that heat.
[15:54:35] <boru> It got up to 40C here last Summer. All you could do in that is drink beer in a Biergarten.
[15:54:49] <Runaway1956> You cope when you have to boru, but that doesn't mean you'll enjoy it
[15:54:56] <boru> Aye, true enough.
[15:55:13] <FatPhil> Swedes like it closer to 70C, which is basically nothing, Finns like it 80-90C which is what we prefer
[15:55:24] <FatPhil> 70C feels almost cold
[15:55:34] <boru> In the west of Ireland, there's no point complaining about the weather.
[15:55:54] <boru> Have you heard the one about the English fella that goes to visit the west of Ireland?
[15:55:57] <janrinok> you can if it stops raining - it shouldn't do that
[15:55:58] <Runaway1956> Ireland? No point in complaining about anything, is there?
[15:56:17] <Runaway1956> Isn't Ireland like the left nut of the world?
[15:56:28] <boru> I'm not familiar with that expression.
[15:56:59] <Runaway1956> Well, it's not really an expression, just comparing places that have been called the 'asshole of the world'
[15:57:31] <boru> Heh, I haven't heard Ireland described as that by anyone except the English.
[15:57:41] <boru> Are you british?
[15:57:43] <FatPhil> we saw an old sweat lodge in western Ireland. Just enough room for 1 large or 2 small people
[15:57:51] <Runaway1956> some people think the world's asshole is in Washington, D.C. - others think it's located in Brussels
[15:58:06] <boru> It was probably a poitín hut, FP!
[15:59:13] <FatPhil> possible to reuse a stove for multiple purposes, I'd think poitin would have been hard to engineer into this setup though.
[15:59:20] <Runaway1956> poitin hut, or leprachaun home?
[15:59:52] <FatPhil> was quite leprechauny. I'm short, but it was very hard to squeeze in.
[16:00:34] <Runaway1956> When the leprechauns got home they had to clean the human stench away
[16:01:35] <boru> So, an English fella goes to visit the west of Ireland. He gets there, and of course, it's lashing rain like there's no tomorrow. He says to himself, "well, I suppose I'll have to wait until tomorrow until I go out and explore the area". He wakes up the following day and looks out the window. Still raining. "Jesus, it can't keep this up. I suppose I'll have to wait until tomorrow". The next day, he wakes up
[16:01:41] <boru> and looks out, and of course, raining heavier than the day before. "Right," he says to himself, "I'll not sit around here any longer, I'll just go out and walk in the rain". As he's out around the town, the rain only gets heavier and heavier, almost unbearable. He goes to seek shelter in a doorway, and there's a young girl there taking shelter from the rain herself. He says "little girl, does it ever stop
[16:01:47] <boru> raining here?". She says "I don't know, sir, I'm only eight years old."
[16:02:13] <FatPhil> boru++ :D
[16:02:13] <Bender> karma - boru: 73
[16:03:18] <boru> I have another one that will work for an Englishman and a Welshman, or an Aussie and a New Zealander, but it's less country.
[16:03:48] <FatPhil> if it involves sheep, I'll remain non-aligned
[16:03:59] <boru> What gave away the sheep theme?
[16:04:36] <boru> I'll use the lads from down under.
[16:07:30] <Runaway1956> #grab boru
[16:07:38] <Runaway1956> =grab boru
[16:07:39] * systemd diarrhetically scissors a snapshot of Win 10 for boru
[16:07:48] <Runaway1956> hmmmmm
[16:07:55] <Runaway1956> !grab boru
[16:07:55] <Bender> Added quote 1061
[16:08:28] <Runaway1956> That sounds too kinky to be forgotten
[16:11:30] <boru> So, an Aussie goes to visit New Zealand. His flight is delayed and he arrives into the airport in the small hours of the morning. He goes outside to find a taxi, but the rank is empty, of course. A jeep is there dropping someone off, and when he passes he beeps the horn and pulls over. A local. He offers the Aussie a lift, and in he gets. They get talking on the way to where he's going, and the New
[16:11:36] <boru> Zealander tells him he's a farmer and lives near there. He says that on the way, he wants to have a quick look at the animals on the way to save him doing his rounds. Naturally, the Aussie being a stand up fella, and not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, abides. They're driving down this country road between pastures, and they spot a sheep with his head stuck in the fence, and pull over. The New
[16:11:43] <boru> Zealander hops out and jumps the fence. Pants down, and starts buggering the sheep. The Aussie is aghast. "It's no stereotype afterall" he thinks. The NZ fella finishes up and gets back in and they drive on in silence for a while. Another few miles down the road, another sheep with his head stuck in the fence. They pull over. The NZ fella jumps out again, same thing. The Aussie fella is having reservations
[16:11:49] <boru> about taking this lift afterall. On the go, another sheep, and they pull over. The Aussie fella can't take it anymore. "Hold on there fella, you can't keep this up! What is wrong with you!", he says. The NZ fella shrugs and is unapologetic, "It's how we do things around here". They go back and forth for a few minutes and finally the NZ fella says, "look, don't knock it until you've tried it". So, the Aussie
[16:11:55] <boru> fella gets out and sticks his head in the fence.
[16:15:17] <boru> I tied it up quicker than usual, it was getting a bit wordy.
[16:15:55] <boru> I had forgotten about the greeting generator.
[16:16:09] <boru> =griasdi FatPhil
[16:16:10] <janrinok> I burst out laughing - I should have seen where it was going but didn't!
[16:16:10] * systemd cantankerously copies a wine flute of logical phalluses for FatPhil
[16:16:48] <boru> Ah sure, it's late in the day. Time for a good laugh.
[16:28:27] <Runaway1956> delayed LOL - was busy for a bit
[16:46:32] <FatPhil> ditto - not heard that one before AFAIK

[17:02:21] <FatPhil> But is it practical? "plans to launch" says slideware to me.
[17:04:45] <Runaway1956> Looks workable - if wireless charging can provide enough power
[17:05:16] <Runaway1956> I thought wireless charging was restricted to low-power devices

[23:09:58] <progo> FatPhil do they admit that they lied?
[23:10:59] <progo> I head Tesla in USA busted their ass to work through Thanksgiving to get the model 3 out… and they had amazeballs revenue last quarter after telling those that worked through thanksgiving that the company's life depended on it
[23:11:03] <progo> I don't suppose they all got fat bonuses
[23:12:13] <progo> no, article here says they didn't admit they lied
[23:12:16] <progo> I assume they did
[23:22:34] <FatPhil> there was a middleman who did the lying for them and the covering up afterwards.

[23:52:13] <FatPhil> which one of them? Any of the available commas works in the outer text. Colon or dash would probably be optimal
[23:53:08] <FatPhil> a comma makes a perfectly adequate absolute ablative though.
[23:53:58] <FatPhil> Most "run-on sentences" are just constructs that have 2500 years of history, and aren't actually wrong at all.
