[00:47:08] <systemd> ^ 03Why Social Media Algorithms Are Failing You - Rob Malda, Slashdot Founder, Interview
[00:47:26] <ted-ious> No mention of soylent or dice or anything like that.
[01:09:54] <chromas> good
[02:04:30] <progo> Slashdot still has editors posting punctuation mojibake into their ASCII edit form every week because they haven't programmed any validation into it or switched to unicode.
[02:05:19] <progo> They seem to have fewer native ads than they once did
[02:12:21] -!- systemd has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[02:29:56] -!- prg has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[03:00:21] <progo> is there any interest in making Soylent work on a small screen? Is the system stable enough, yet, to attempt this? if so I volunteer to work on it
[03:00:31] <progo> been bugging me ever since I joined Soylent
[03:01:44] <progo> maybe I should get my modifications working as a userStyle and/or userScript, first

[03:06:59] <chromas> We're still masturbating over what's going to happen with the site
[03:07:27] <progo> I'll touch myself with TamperMonkey and get back to you later
[03:08:18] <progo> n.b. there are decent Android browsers that support webextensions and/or userscripts
[03:08:42] <progo> Kiwi Browser, maybe. I have it installed now. I think I installed it because of webextensions
[03:09:07] <chromas> firefox on android has extensions but I dunno what the api is
[03:09:31] <chromas> "I said 'decent'!" :D
[03:10:34] <progo> if Safari ever starts working like an Apple walled garden service, there will be no decent browsers left. Chromium and Firefox are 100% funded by Google
[03:10:49] <progo> everything is a downstream fork of one of those, except Safari
[03:11:33] <chromas> Maybe someone can dig out the source for Internet Explorer or Edge and publish it
[03:12:03] <progo> do you know Edge mark 1 died and bits of it got ported to the Edge of today, because Microsoft got Microsofted by Google?
[03:12:10] <chromas> if Konqueror had web extensions I'd probably use it as a browser
[03:12:31] <progo> for a year or so, YouTube was shipping especially bad code to Edge only, on purpose, in order to make Edge look bad and perform poorly
[03:12:43] <progo> Microsoft gave up and forked Chromium, rather than sue Google
[03:12:48] <chromas> I think MS could have kept going but they just make dumb decisions now, like Opera
[03:13:22] <progo> Opera used to have its own internal list of sites that Opera needs to lie to about its client software identity, so the site would work
[03:13:36] <progo> those instances of broken sites were usually from stupidity and not malice
[03:14:12] <chromas> as is tradition
[03:14:27] <progo> this IRC message is best viewed at 800×600
[03:15:23] <chromas> the web was always dumb. no reason we have to use html and http. other documents support hyperlinking
[03:15:52] <progo> fine, you can write c# code to form ad hoc RTF documents :^)
[03:16:01] * chromas puts up a spinny email jif
[03:17:21] <chromas> rtf is mostly better than html because wordpad supports it

[07:16:18] <janrinok> progo - I was interested to see your comment about making the software more compatible with smart devices. There is no work on the code taking place at the moment as we still do not have full control over it. It could - theoretically at least - still disappear on the whim of the 2 stakeholders.

[23:57:55] <mrpg> Stupid snap package of p7zip-desktop needs permission to access removable media, how the frag am i supposed to know that?????
[23:58:27] <mrpg> i wasted hours trying to compress data, hours needed cause i need to compress 300 GB in a small and slow laptop.
[23:58:59] <ted-ious> Why not just install it normally?
[23:59:21] <ted-ious> Isn't it something like 3 binaries and a small library?
