[04:25:22] * chromas forces TheMightyBuzzard to play FF8
[04:28:33] <TheMightyBuzzard> eight... i vaguely remember playing that. i like 3 and 7 best though.
[04:29:21] <chromas> I cheated. I played it in an emulator and figured out where all the variables were for magic and stuff
[04:30:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> believe it or not, i wasn't always this classy though. when i played ff3 i renamed the main dude and chick nads and tits respectively.
[04:30:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> it did lead to one profound bit of wisdom that's stuck with me to this day though. at one point the screen displayed white on black "Tits has magical powers!!!"
[04:30:56] <chromas> that's terrible
[04:30:58] <chromas> no Fart Copter?
[04:31:23] <chromas> Peak wisdom
[04:31:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> troof
[04:32:35] <chromas> Twin peaks, even
[04:33:55] <TheMightyBuzzard> mounds and mounds of truthiness
[04:34:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> much like "those who confuse burro and burrow don't know their ass from a hole in the ground"

[04:36:46] <chromas> how'd he know we were talking about jesus and the semon on the mound?
[04:37:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> do you really need a sermon about boobs? some truths are self evident even to the profoundly stupid and habitually wrong. i mean, even azuma likes boobs.
[04:38:10] <chromas> sometimes I wonder
[04:38:50] <TheMightyBuzzard> good n evil i could see some folks mixing up if they really tried but we're talking about boobs

[04:39:20] <chromas> gonna have to work hard to bring it up to 666
[04:40:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> ya know, i been thinking on and off about this for a few days now. i really can't think of a funnier show than how i met your mother. you bet your life would probably be second place but even it didn't make me laugh as much.
[04:41:29] <TheMightyBuzzard> 88 would also be acceptable bewbs karma

[04:41:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> don't think so but it's even funnier than married with children

[04:44:54] <chromas> can' believe they want four dorra to watch Men in Tights on Scamazon
[04:44:54] <TheMightyBuzzard> frito corn or tortilla corn?

[04:51:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> just rewatch firefly again. it never quits being awesome.

[04:52:50] <chromas> we just had the movie on dvd for some reason
[04:53:21] <TheMightyBuzzard> aight, drop everything else and watch all 13 episodes in a row. right now. even if you gotta miss work.
[04:54:19] <chromas> amazon has it

[05:04:38] <systemd> ^ 03What does Canberra mean in Aboriginal language? - Quora
[05:05:03] <chromas> Amongst all the executive orders Biden's signing, I sure hope there's something about rewriting the GTK 3 file dialog. Jesus Christ, what a shithole
[05:05:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> of course not. federal mandate to use gtk4 file dialog, even if it's still an unpolished turd.
[05:06:01] <chromas> nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[05:06:52] <chromas> seriously, you can't even type in a path or anything. I thought guhnome was supposed to be all keyboard-driven
[05:08:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> we should fork gtk2 and start developing it into a real alternative for cocktastic >2 versions as a SN project
[05:08:43] <chromas> or make a c wrapper for Qt :D
[05:08:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> community project not staff
[05:09:36] <chromas> speaking of self-hosted source, gitea is a noice alternative to gitlab and doesn't requre 40gb of ruby
[05:10:26] <chromas> I wonder if we could get a community project like that going
[05:10:54] <chromas> Could be a nice break from arguing over shitty politics and get back to arguing over braces and indents
[05:11:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> dunno, we should give it a try though. be nice to argue about shit that actually matters for a change.
[05:12:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> i hereby put you in charge of figuring out whether to use gogs or gitea. they both look like they'd work.
[05:12:17] <chromas> gitea's a fork of gogs
[05:12:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> prolly do both work then
[05:13:24] <chromas> I have an instance on my box
[05:13:37] <chromas> only problem I've run into is it uses a few percent of cpu at all times for no apparent reason
[05:13:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> rs3 been offering drive space for a while now. we could take him up on it for this.
[05:14:42] <TheMightyBuzzard> aight, stop distracting me by talking all sexy. i need sleeps.
[05:15:04] <chromas> g'night. See you in six hours
[05:17:51] <chromas> and another firefox thing I'd like to bitch about: the OK button always started out disabled on the save dialog for a couple seconds, and if the window doesn't have focus then the timer doesn't start
[05:20:23] <c0lo> "to argue about shit that actually matters for a change" - I've dunnit most of my life.
[05:20:26] <c0lo> Nowadays, if you want me to argue about things that matter, it has to be a lot more than "for a change". Start at some $100/h and I might think about it.
[05:20:54] * chromas deposits one hundred Soybuxx into c0lo's hat

[10:05:41] <Ingar> chromas: my list of config options to make firefox usable is long
[10:06:02] <Ingar> and I'm still quite pissed about the exploding address bar bullocks
[10:06:28] <chromas> I'm assuming that's different from the yuuuge empty spaces around the address bar
[10:07:26] * chromas puts a gift icon on Ingar's Firefox toolbar
[10:08:00] <boru> To be fair, that's also fixable. I'm sort of stuck with firefox on FreeBSD at the moment, until something better comes along. Otter is single threaded, falkon pulls in KDE for deps etc.
[10:08:03] * Ingar stores gift in his pocket
[10:08:17] <boru> But between some plugins and arkenfox's user.js, it's still fairly useable.
[10:08:33] <Ingar> boru: it's all fixable, but it is getting tiresome having to 'fix' every firefox installation
[10:08:52] <boru> Indeed.
[10:08:57] <chromas> Is Waterfox on the BSDs?
[10:09:05] <boru> No, not even in ports.
[10:09:16] <boru> And iridium was removed from ports because the maintainer doesn't have time.
[10:09:20] <Ingar> I'd switch browser, but the sad thing is firefox is probably the best one out there
[10:09:21] <boru> No icecat, nothing.
[10:09:31] <boru> Firefox, or firefox-esr, or otter or falkon.
[10:10:13] <boru> I hope Otter gets better, but this single-threadedness makes multi-tabbing unusable.
[10:10:34] <boru> I really wish someone would write a new browser from scratch.
[10:10:43] <chromas> which is kinda weird, considering multi-threaded tabs is pretty recent
[10:10:45] <boru> And not some total donkeys like the palemoon guys.
[10:11:23] <boru> And preferably without social justice or partisan political injections.
[10:11:32] <Ingar> the issue is mostly the web itself
[10:11:36] <boru> Just well written software. That seems to be too much to ask for these days.
[10:11:48] <Ingar> whoever was thinking that web apps were a good diea should be shot
[10:11:57] <boru> Everything has to be injected with political nonsense to the point of self-debasement these days.
[10:12:00] <boru> I agree.
[10:12:15] <boru> The w3 is the worst thing to have happened to the Internet.
[10:12:15] <Ingar> e.g. after decades, HTML still doesnt have a decent column layout
[10:12:51] <chromas> I thought w3c was dead now
[10:13:01] <boru> w3 as in the www.
[10:13:25] <Ingar> www in iteself was ok, the problem is it went 'mainstream'
[10:13:26] <chromas> oh yeah, well httptooey!
[10:13:57] <chromas> Microsoft missed a nice opportunity to replace HTML with Word Documents
[10:14:00] <boru> The problem was when www turned into FAGMAN.
[10:14:04] <Ingar> I remember the web before it was ad-driven. when searches yielded actual results
[10:14:12] <Ingar> and pages had actual content
[10:14:16] <boru> Facebook, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Netflix.
[10:14:28] <Ingar> Twitter
[10:14:30] <boru> Now people equate the web with "what google says"
[10:14:50] * Ingar duckducks
[10:15:04] <boru> Can we make another acronym that includes twitter?
[10:15:25] <boru> Let's see. Your letters are: AAFGMNT
[10:16:06] <chromas> Need to get another G and an O in there
[10:17:19] <boru> FAMGNAT is the best I can come up with at short notice.
[10:17:56] <chromas> Oracle, Github
[10:18:03] <boru> TAMFANG, MAFTANG. There's nothing really good.
[10:18:20] <boru> Oracle is dead, shithub is microsoft.
[10:19:03] <chromas> Then you can drop the M and go all in on FAGGOT
[10:19:05] <Ingar> MAFTANG could be dutch for 'sleepy pliers'
[10:19:32] <FatPhil> Instagram
[10:19:40] <boru> Sounds like a code word for an NSA exercise.
[10:19:44] <boru> Which is ironic.
[10:20:03] <boru> Don't facebook own that, as well?
[10:20:08] <FatPhil> MAINFANG
[10:20:20] <boru> It all comes down to these same culprits.
[10:20:31] <chromas> FatPhil: expand that initialism and find an anagram for it
[10:20:56] <boru> I'd actually put wikipedia in there, but they're not in the same playing field.
[10:20:57] <FatPhil> Depends if you look at the brands or the ownership
[10:21:20] <FatPhil> Because 'g' for google doesn't belong any more if you look at ownership, it's 'a' for alphabet.
[10:21:54] <FatPhil> I dont think rando people think google==youtube, so it needs a 'Y' too.
[10:22:25] <chromas> yeah but youtube only sucks because of google
[10:22:30] <boru> Well, give me your acronym then.
