@user I wouldn't think internet speed would make moving my mouse and typing on the keyboard lag by multiple seconds

This (mostly) isn't a network issue

emanresu A

Network issues can make your whole computer slower

Trust me

I live in a place where 95% of the population are online right now\

exedraj

You wanna know what else makes your computer slower?

emanresu A

What?

exedraj

10 billion tabs being opened in your browser because the practice quiz system used by your university creates a new tab every time you start a new test

emanresu A

Good job

exedraj

22:35

So you go to do the quiz, and it opens it in a new tab (as expected, nothing wrong with this so far)

You finish the quiz, but instead of the tab closing, it takes you back to the navigation page in the newly opened tab

So now you have two pages the exact same

emanresu A

Lol

exedraj

And the idea is that you are supposed to take it over and over to get an idea of all the questions, because they only give you 2 questions from a large pool at a time

emanresu A

Wow

exedraj

So rinse and repeat and you have 20 tabs of the same page

All because the quiz opens in a new tab and they don't close it

emanresu A

Firefox used to duplicate itself every time I restarted, and those duplicates duplicated themselves, so...

exedraj

22:38

Thankfully Vivaldi comes with a "close all to the (left|right)" feature

emanresu A

Why not just write a userscript?

(Or, if you're lazy, ask Redwolf)

user

bcoz y use userscript ven browser hav builtin

also vivaldi look gud

Also hi lyxal

exedraj

@user p

@user exactly

user

@exedraj Is that a :p or a p:?

exedraj

@user it's just p

No colon

No additional characters

user

22:41

Hrm

exedraj

Just the letter that comes after o

user

What does that mean in Australia?

exedraj

Nothing

I would have replied h if it wasn't so cliche

user

Because here, I would get very confused if someone just answered "p" to one of my messages

emanresu A

@user p

exedraj

22:42

@user p

user

⍴

exedraj

Also, other letters wouldn't have made as much sense

Like replying "a" wouldn't be as funny

user

⍺⍵⍺

Browncat Programs

Y'know what's really funny?

emanresu A

@exedraj ø

Browncat Programs

w

exedraj

And "q" just looks like you accidentally leaned too far on the left side of your keyboard

emanresu A

@BrowncatPrograms \

exedraj

@BrowncatPrograms I can do one better

m

Browncat Programs

m sucks :p

exedraj

It's literally your joke but upside down

user

22:44

No, m is a pretty decent, level-headed letter

@exedraj Not in my font

emanresu A

@user @

Browncat Programs

@exedraj Yeah well chickens crawling underneath roads on their heads isn't funny now is it

exedraj

@BrowncatPrograms depends who you ask

Browncat Programs

Actually that's hilarious

user

@BrowncatPrograms What?

exedraj

22:45

@BrowncatPrograms exactly

Browncat Programs

' is the least funny, we can all agree on that

exedraj

Yeah frick '

emanresu A

`

exedraj

All my homes use "

user

If you posted a video of chickens crawling underneath roads on their heads on Reddit or someplace, I can guarantee you it would receive like a million upvotes

@exedraj I thought Vyxal gang used `

Ain't we yo homies?

exedraj

22:46

@user we use " internally for documentation

user

Ah true

For the markup language that isn't a markup language

exedraj

I think the style guide even mentions "frick '"

Browncat Programs

People who use ' for strings in languages that have ' and " as options are the kind of people we don't need :p

exedraj

@BrowncatPrograms ' is only funny if you're making funny contractions

user

tbf, if you have a string containing ", it's often easier to just use '"' instead of escaping the "

On the other hand, consistency is important

emanresu A

22:47

wouldn't've'st'nd'ng

Browncat Programs

Yeah, "\"" is better than '"' imo

3

user

@exedraj non't

Browncat Programs

It's consistent, even if it's kinda ugly

Which is what all my friends say about me

user

@BrowncatPrograms Aww, don't let that get to you

You're not very consistent at all

As funny as I think my message is, we don't need two stars so close together

exedraj

@user r/therealjoke

@user it's a legitimate star, it's fine.

user

22:49

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

exedraj

Okay now that's just being silly

user

Okay three stars is definitely too much

^^

exedraj

2 stars together for a similar joke is acceptable...no one complained when it happened a few days ago

3 stars just for the purpose of having 3 stars is Yesn't

user

Yesn'tn't

Browncat Programs

I am become 12, unstarrer of worlds

user

22:51

Choose one

:( You ruined it

Browncat Programs

I unstarred you shrugging

exedraj

@BrowncatPrograms ooh this means I become ro by default!

Because you're too young for SE now

user

@BrowncatPrograms Thankn'tn't notn'tn'tn't

@BrowncatPrograms I think the original is "am"?

Browncat Programs

Wdym, that's what it said the whole time winks

user

Unfortunately, you are not 11, purger of histories

exedraj

22:53

Guys redwolf is 12

Browncat Programs

Also ROs should have the edit and delete permissions without a time limitation

exedraj

Delete permission, sure

Edit permissions, no.

user

^

Browncat Programs

I mean on our own messages

user

Edit permissions are too powerful, especially considering the rather low requirements to become ROs

Browncat Programs

22:53

Editing announcements with updates is very useful

user

Oh

I don't think there should be an edit time limit on your own messages or comments at all

exedraj

If there was a hypothetical removal of the time limit on editing, I'd want it for new messages only

Browncat Programs

Deleting any non-mod message in the room should also be an RO action I think, but idk. Maybe there can be something like mod-appointed ROs who get some extra powers, to prevent abuse in smaller rooms.

@exedraj I think it should be based on number of messages as well. If you post something in a room that's dead silent, you should be able to edit it more than 2m later

exedraj

@exedraj because a fraction of my jokes here rely on people not being able to edit their messages after 2 minutes lol

@BrowncatPrograms that just sounds like moving to another room with extra steps

user

It's unlikely they'll fix chat, though, they haven't even fixed the pinning bug

Browncat Programs

22:56

@exedraj And without the "x messages moved to y"

user

@BrowncatPrograms No I think that's necessary to have a record of what happened

Otherwise, someone might just move messages around and make a conversation appear one way when it happened another way

Browncat Programs

For deletion it'll show the (deleted)

exedraj

^

But as I said, I like the edit limit because it's an easy target for bad jokes

user

Okay but other than the bad jokes thing, would you still support it?

exedraj

I suppose so

But the reactions are totally worth it:

Or fish with silly hat

I like fish

Especially with silly hats

user

Me too

They're very tasty

Browncat Programs

The hats aren't though

exedraj

Just doesn't work the same vertically

Browncat Programs

Although really silly hats might be edible

user

23:00

@BrowncatPrograms Sure they are

exedraj

@BrowncatPrograms You... eat hats?

user

You don't?

emanresu A

I have become Rick, roller of worlds.

exedraj

@user not on Tuesdays I don't.

And especially not on Fridays

I'd be open to the suggestion on Thursdays though

user

@emanresuA Turned himself into Rick emanresu, funniest shit I've ever seen

@exedraj It's a Thursday over here, come over and eat some sombreros

exedraj

23:02

@user I think I'll stay here in Friday land

Because tonight I can do some funkin'

Even though I completely suck at FNF

user

FNF?

exedraj

Friday Night Funking

Browncat Programs

Legend has it if a game's initialism starts with F and ends with NF it's guaranteed to get popular

exedraj

@user Or as I like to call it, Friday Night Fricking

Browncat Programs

...

exedraj

23:03

"everybody get fricking on a Friday night"

Browncat Programs

Doesn't sound TNB appropriate :p

exedraj

Because that's what it says when you launch the game but s/fricking/funkin

@BrowncatPrograms Five at Nights Freddies?

user

You do realize that if Frick is a stand-in for the F-bomb, Friday Night Fricking means something entirely different, right?

exedraj

@user of course I do

But I prefer Quaver anyway.

Something about note scroll being down rather than up makes it easier

emanresu A

Just put your screen upside down!

@BrowncatPrograms that is sort of a thing in a very specific subset of rooms (AFAIK, only one)

in the TL, I don't really have powers and am treated as a regular user (except for unlimited self-delete/edit powers) but there are staff-appointed mod users who have elevated powers (I think it's equivalent to normal mod powers in normal rooms but I'm not sure about that in detail)

exedraj

@emanresuA but then I have to flip the controls too

and that's arguably worse

hyper-neutrino

it would be cool to allow mods to appoint ROs to have elevated powers in certain rooms

example off the top of my head: i want to be able to allow adam to grant write access for low-rep users to the APL orchard by himself

Jo King

@DLosc Do you want to compare, or should i just post mine?

@hyper-neutrino i have wished for that a lot
