1:10 AM
I think I'm going to attempt this over the summer.
 
@MBraedley Oooh interesting.
@fredley what do you think would be the best way to save options?
 
There's no indication that it'll work with the T3i, though
 
Like, for instance, making a dark theme option persistent between room switching?
@MBraedley Aah
And if a camera isn't very open, there isn't much you can do to change that.
Has anyone else tried out the mobile styles for chat?
Any requests or suggestions?
 
gPhoto2 does work with the T3 and T4i, so it should work with the T3i
@RedRiderX there are mobile styles?
 
@MBraedley They are wrapped in the mobile app me and @fredley are working on
I'm still brushing up the tablet ones at the moment

Made an attempt to help our clash of clans low quality user.
This is currently your only marginally acceptable question. Out of five, two have been deleted outright, and two have been closed. They're ALL low quality, and heavily downvoted. Please take the time to go through the tour, and familiarize yourself with what we are and how we work. Unless you put some effort into your contributions, I'm afraid you're going to continue to be met with downvotes and close votes. Help us help you. — Frank 8 mins ago
Good? Bad?
 
@Frank Seems good
 
gall dern css why do you have to be so useless!? brunildo.org/test/Overflowxy2.html
 
1:40 AM
Wee! Meta post made through mobile!
If its borked, please don't kill me.
 
@Frank FWIW: There was a flag cast which essentially read "Meta says this is okay" and a mod actioned it. I won't attempt to read any further into another mod's actions or speak on their behalf though.
 
@Less I made an attempt to engage with said mod. It was ignored, so other avenues must be attempted.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz I'm trying to come up with a situation in which commenting "meta says this is okay" is a flaggable offense, but nothing.
 
@Yuki It was a reopen request, citing the same meta thread that Frank cites. It's not the first flag I've seen which wildly misinterprets a meta post when requesting mod action, even in only 2 months on the job.
 
@LessPop_MoreFizz Ah... misinterpretation of a meta post. Yeah, that makes sense. Don't know why I didn't think of that.
 
1:46 AM
Shouldn't mods be doing proper research before actioning such flags?
Its sorta the reason you have the capability to override community decisions.
 
@Frank Yes, they should. The problem is, do they?

Q: Why was this question mod opened?

FrankI noticed a question was mod reopened. Specifically, this question. Normally, I wouldn't even care, as questions being reopened are a cause for celebration, as it means they've been fixed to be acceptable. The problem is...this question hasn't been changed at all. There was a meta about it, wher...

Q: I need help on Minecraft

user74744So my minecraft won't let me pick up stuff out of chest or my inventory. What should i do? I really need help on this i need stuff out of chest. I can't play with my friends like this.

 
2:14 AM
From how I understand that meta, the whole "is this question too broad or not" thing is way more complicated than questions about easter eggs being categorically too broad or otherwise. So I don't know how "meta says this is okay" is even a conclusion to draw.
@Lazers I smell a dupe
 
If I might suggest, this evening's listening

BuddaIn the late game, when I have 5-7 raxes I often need to book 15-20 marines (lings, etc) at a time. To do so right now I'm pressing 'a' button 15-20 times... which take me solid 5-10 seconds.... Is there any way to do that quicker? I believe I can configure my Windows to do 'auto-repeat' with SMA...

4:26 AM
@frank you there?
@frank probably not - um, call me as soon as you are able. There is a somewhat serious plumbing issue that ranks roughly below "Call Franks at 11:30PM and potentially wake him up" and just above "It can wait until the morning"
 
@Trent I'm kicking around. What's up?
 
@Frank Considering it's a plumbing issue, it's probably more along the lines of "what's not going down".
 
4:47 AM
 
5:06 AM
@Unionhawk That would only make sense if I followed my previous statement with a hearty chuckle.
I try not to laugh at my own jokes, it's poor style.

@Unionhawk Something something @Unionhawk is always wrong.

Q: What's the point of the Quad Rocket alt-fire?

Nick TI'm at Gen 4 so have to use the Quad Rocket to head to 5, and I have no clue why anyone would ever use the alt-fire (zoom) mode. The rockets simply seem to travel slower, and in a larger spread. Against ground targets they smear out and maybe one rocket will hit near a grunt, and against Titans...

@Yuki To be fair, it is initially going down, but there's some residual 'not going down' coming from the basement drain.
There's a ladybug or something flying around the basement. Bela is chasing it. There will be no sleep at this rate.

Q: Intuitive or common sense actions?

at least it's not actually 420 on 420 yet

@RedRiderX Nope
Jus a sec

Oh right
herp de derp
 
@RedRiderX Given you've already pushed code to master, that's pretty derp

I think this is this the best way to avoid mobile chat
 
What really?
Sigh
 
@PrivatePansy Shudder
@PrivatePansy Soon we will be done
 
Anyway, I'm just verifying the remote desktop thing works
Surprisingly well too. Of course this is over the local network so the lack of lag is only expected
 
@RedRiderX I've merged for you
 
11:21 AM
Oh thanks
 
@RedRiderX I'm off to feed some lambs, ping me an email and I'll send you AWS creds
Should give you permissions on the chatsey bucket so that you can upload files
 
Ah okay will do
 
The mouse in the app is simulated, but when moved the one on the PC moves along with it. This is really weird because the mouse, when moved on the phone, has a bounce to it that you'd never get with real mice
 
I can't install chrome remote desktop..
 
11:29 AM
wait, Chrome Remote Desktop works on Android?
want
too bad Chrome Remote Desktop doesn't work on Linux, although you can use mosh for that
 
@badp I thought it's just a Chrome extension
Of course it's no ordinary extension, but NaCl perhaps, and so should be cross platform?
 
11:45 AM
The nicest thing about Chrome remote desktop is how ridiculously easy it is to set up
 
@PrivatePansy It depends on a service under Windows, but there's probably something similar for linux
 
I don't think I've ever used a remote desktop app with so little configuration needed
 
I have
 
Android compatible?
 
I installed Microsoft's remote desktop on my Nexus 7 and just put in my credentials and started using it
 
11:46 AM
Would love to check some out
What client?
 
I don't think it allows you to zoom though, and only seems to support a single display + the computer needs to be logged out of the user and in the login view
 
Oh. Not as good then.
 
Yeah, that's why I'm sad Chrome remote desktop won't work :/
 
Does it require Win 8?
 
I don't know.
I haven't tried it on any other computer because I only have one that I use and it's windows 8

Q: Gamecube Memory Cards Life Span

Q: How do I prepare for summer's Overheating?

When the summer finally comes, these piles completely melt and the only way to cool off ...

ManishearthTyping --- in chat forces a new section. Usually, consecutive chat messages from the same user are kept in the same box. It is hidden in the transcript, but the separation between sections is still visible:

I wonder if this still works
 
Don't think
Hey
 
wow
 
It sort of does
Although the triple dash is weird
 
12:30 PM
Quite
But that's a markdown <hr> right?
 
Well yeah, a bunch of dashes creates a horizontal rule
 
@RonanForman wtf?
@RedRiderX Yup
 
@fredley what?
 
@fredley So... you are?
 
@RonanForman Are you using ChatSEy?
 
12:34 PM
Trying to.
 
@RedRiderX There are builds up there
 
...
 
@RonanForman Ah. You flagged @RedRiderX
 
@fredley where?
@fredley !
 
Flag confirmation needs to be a thing
Like, really needs to be a thing
Next thing I will make
 
12:35 PM
THATS IT
 
Aren't there suppose to be an alert to stop fat fingering?
Don't tell me the script intercepts those too
 
Oh, it seems to be a bit too trigger happy with opening the message options.
It does it when I scroll.
Also I didn't see any alert.
 
@PrivatePansy alerts and other popups are not displayed natively by the webview
 
Or rather, it's a confirm
 
ROOM OWNERS DONT NEED ALERTS I GUESS
 
12:36 PM
But getting it to display them is not a big issue
 
@fredley Okay, so confirm automatically return true?
 
Note to everyone: Please don't flag @RedRiderX
 
I'm going to switch back to mobile.
 
@PrivatePansy I guess
 
@fredley plz
 
12:37 PM
That kind of suck
 
@fredley I can only find /remote
Where are the builds?
 
Yeah sorry @Red
 
@RonanForman is kewl
 
@RedRiderX Oh, only /remote is there
Builds should be too I guess
 
Probably.
 
Ah okay
 
@RedRiderX That version loads resources from S3
 
Yep
I don't think this will work on my crudey phone though

It seems like it can't figure out how to log me in.
 
12:39 PM
universe explodes
 
So 3 things, 1 tapping a message and then scrolling off of it will still open the options, 2 opening the options sometimes brings up my keyboard and 3 I can't clear pings.
 
GET IT? UNI-VERSE? AHAHAHAHA... yeah, you're right that one was bad
 
@RonanForman With tablet chat?
 
Mobile.
I don't have a tablet.
 
@RonanForman you should get one
 
12:42 PM
I just splashed out to get this thing.
 
What did you get?
 
Moto G, not exactly expensive, but I am a student.
 
@RonanForman Ah that seems like a good choice
 
for what little I do know the Moto G is a good one
 
@badp can I maybe flag you?
A popup should appear but if not...
 
12:45 PM
only if you ask me in song form
 
@RonanForman I think I should have bought that one
But the carriers here are jerks and I couldn't get it.
 
(go right ahead)
 
Too late, already tried, flag intercepted, Yay
Confirmation boxes for delete and flag now
But needs new binary
 
I'm really liking the screen, and despite all the reviews saying the camera is bad, it seems pretty good to me.
If I wanted a better one I would have bought a camera.
 
Jerks
Every last one of them
 
12:49 PM

I paid £100 for it, no contract.
 
@RonanForman :O
 
Moto G is an excellent phone
Think my gf paid around £130 for hers
 
You know what I got for 100CAD?
 
@RedRiderX One month of internet?
 
12:50 PM
Oh yeah, the battery is not shit too, around 8 hours of actual on time.

@fredley yes
 
"OMG this fucking phone is so fucking shit"
 
You wouldn't believe how many times I've gone omg at this phone
 
The only downside is that its 8Gb storage and can't be expanded.
 
@RonanForman Ah if it's your main mobile that can be a bummer yeah
 
12:53 PM
@RonanForman I have 8GB in my N5 I think and I don't feel too restricted
 
I've got a 32gb N7 and it's more then half full already.
 
@RedRiderX of what?
 
@fredley Yeah if it ever gets too full I'm sure they'll be something I'm not using I can delete.
 
@RonanForman Using Google Music means it's pretty trivial to sync any music you want to listen to in the short term over wifi

You only need to proxy through US to set it up for the first time
 
Hmm...
 
After that it works anywhere
 
And if my account is "Canadian"?
Will it still work?
 
@RedRiderX Doesn't matter, mine is "Britian"
 
Isn't it subscription?
 
12:58 PM
We are a big enough market for music jerks to care about, but not a big enough market for Google to prioritize because of that.

That ROM question needs a few more close votes.
 
@Frank downloading ROMs isn't in and of itself illegal. Copyright infringement is the biggest problem. However asking where to find those ROMs is off-topic
 
@BenBrocka Is that a rat snake?
