Same here. I use linux at work, but I leave my home computer on Windows because of games

I need to try putting Fedora on my Surface, though...

Maximillian

I used Ubuntu for a while when I couldn't get Win7 working right on an old Dell Mini. Very educational.

"Hmm, this looks like a good app." 743 dependencies. Download? "Oh. Oh. that's.. Not for this desktop...."

Kevin van der Velden

YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME

Yuuki

I have no clue who to cc on things. Should I start compiling cc lists?

Kevin van der Velden

Yes

Yuuki

Or maybe make an add-on that gives notifications for custom @ handles?

Like I could "cc @Warframe" and everyone who subscribes to the @Warframe list gets a notification?

Kevin van der Velden

That does need to be a feature

Someone make a bot that does that

Yuuki

20:25

Would probably use something other than @ though so I don't get any username collisions.

@KevinvanderVelden Might be an interesting side-project.

&Warframe, I guess.

Kevin van der Velden

Use the SE<->IRC bridge, done

Should be a few dozen lines of python (assuming pre-written lines and little to no sanity checking)

Yuuki

Eh, I'm not sure I'm comfortable with adding a bot that just creates giant cc lists for things.

Maybe a userscript that trawls the transcript, but that would be a lot of requests.

Kevin van der Velden

Well you shouldn't stop at the few dozen lines of python =p

SaintWacko

@Yuuki # is a fairly common usage for something like that

Kevin van der Velden

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

SaintWacko

20:28

I don't use hashtags either, but it's a standard usage...

Yuuki

@SaintWacko Eh, the issue is that #thing has colloquial use too.

Not just for hashtags but for numbers too.

Same reason why I'd avoid $.

I'm leaning towards & or +.

SaintWacko

Okay, but realize that it's only going to happen for things that have been set up to be a list

Yuuki

Probably & because I don't know any use of pre-pending ampersand to things other than maybe code.

Maximillian

Gotta be more obtuse. █ should be a good one.

Yuuki

What are the limits on how many people can be pinged (pung?) in a single chat message?

SaintWacko

20:30

I feel like this calls for science

Maximillian

Well there was an old exploit that pinged /everyone/...

Kevin van der Velden

@Wipqozn @Arperum @SaintWacko @Maximillian @Yuuki

Who didn't get pinged?

Yuuki

Well, I was the last person on that list and I got pung.

MBraedley

I hate doing requirements analysis. "The ... system shall ...<do something>, at the maximum rate possible ... given <these criteria>." What does that even mean? How the hell am I supposed to demonstrate that? We have no idea what that maximum rate even is!

Kevin van der Velden

So at least 5

SaintWacko

20:31

@Ash @Maximillian @Yuuki @Wipqozn @fredley @Frank @KevinvanderVelden @Dragonrage @kalina @Arperum @Hoi @Unionhawk @Fluttershy @StrixVaria @murgatroid99

Unionhawk

Highlight but no ping

SaintWacko

Anyone not get pinged there?

Kevin van der Velden

I got pinged

Arperum

I got pinged

Unionhawk

so it's either 10 or 11

MBraedley

20:32

I feel left out

SaintWacko

Right

Interesting

Arperum

And @hoi is not at a pc right now.

SaintWacko

Sorry, @MBraedley, didn't see you in the chat lol

Yuuki

@Unionhawk Probably 10 because 11 would so ridiculous that it's not even funny.

Riker

@Arperum easy fix: ping hoi first

SaintWacko

20:32

I wonder...

Kevin van der Velden

Unless off by one

Riker

so it doesn't really matter if they're here or not since we konw the first ping works

Yuuki

@Yuuki cc @GodEmperorDune @Ash

SaintWacko

@Yuuki @Yuuki @Yuuki @Yuuki @Yuuki @Yuuki @Yuuki @Yuuki @Yuuki @Arperum @MBraedley @Unionhawk

MBraedley

Highlighted but no sound

Maximillian

20:34

Careful, you could call ten different Yuukis in here.

SaintWacko

Okay, so it's just 10

PLUS

And this is what I was curious about

Duplicates count towards the limit

Yuuki

Yep, so if I do a bot that cc people in lists, then I'll have to filter duplicates.

Also interesting is that it'll have to handle username changes.

SaintWacko

And the list can only be 10 people, but that's not a big deal

Kevin van der Velden

Naah

We just ban people from changing usernames

Yuuki

Could probably just store the user id and then query for the username whenever it's called?

SaintWacko

20:35

Can you make the bot so that people have to request to be added to lists?

Yuuki

@SaintWacko I could see some lists having more than 10 people.

SaintWacko

So you can't add someone else to a list

Yuuki

Like naturally, everyone would be subscribed to &Puns.

SaintWacko

@Yuuki It can just do multiple messages, then

Kevin van der Velden

@Yuuki NO

BAD

SaintWacko

20:36

And #Friday

Kevin van der Velden

sets fire to everything

SaintWacko

I still think that # is a much more natural character to use

BlueBarren

@StrixVaria honestly not off to a good start. It's interesting because very linux user I know also has a windows partition, I just don't find it as usable due to compatibility issues

Yuuki

Funnily enough, I had this idea a few months ago.

SaintWacko

Especially in a chat that talks about C&C

Yuuki

20:37

Mostly because I wanted to ping &Canadians.

SaintWacko

And D&D

Kevin van der Velden

Just don't have a list for &D?

Yuuki

@SaintWacko Could easily filter on & being the first character in a word/term.

SaintWacko

@Yuuki Yeah. Could also filter for # being followed by text and not numbers :P

Maximillian

Even possibly C&D.

Yuuki

20:38

@SaintWacko But what if you wanted to ping people with numbers (#31337h4xx0r5)?

Or #42069?

Kevin van der Velden

Then just no

SaintWacko

^

I mean, that is a good point. I'm just trying to keep the pattern used across most of the internet, where # is used to denote a topic or reference

There's also the thing where if you did do something like "We're #1!" the bot would trigger, but it wouldn't find a "1!" list and so would just go back to sleep

Yuuki

@SaintWacko So... "We Are Number One But There's No Number One"?

SaintWacko

@Yuuki Exactly :D

badp

2

how most potgs are made

Maximillian

20:45

Steamed Hams but Skinner is Number One.

Unionhawk

@badp occasionally it's holding down left click action

Yuuki

I've seen some pretty impressive Brigitte PotGs and I'm kinda excited to play.

Unionhawk

Tweeted by OverwatchTXT on March 5, 2018 at 7:30 PM

SaintWacko

@Yuuki Ooh, is she on the PTR?

Unionhawk

yes

badp

20:48

yes

SaintWacko

yes

badp

@Yuuki *to watch everyone play loading screen races to pick her from under your mouse

Unionhawk

Yeah, it's pretty bad in quick play

and no limits is bad broadly speaking

badp

I mean you're signing up for six tracers

you're going to have to be the sixth tracer

MBraedley

@badp *six meis

SaintWacko

20:49

@badp He said bad

badp

I'm sorry

Unionhawk

Well, in the PTR it's 6 <new hero>

badp

when this last happened and I mentioned I was terribad at tracer the group of four that forced the meme upon us offered to compromise on six moira

Maximillian

I haven't played since just after the hacker went in.

Wipqozn

@SaintWacko I got pinged

MBraedley

20:51

I had a few games that weren't entirely Brigitte. Some people will play those modes to see how a certain hero will play against the new one.

badp

the real question is, do you get loot boxes in PTR and will they give you Brigitte things too

GnomeSlice

collective.square-enix.com/projects/439/faeland

@Fluttershy

SaintWacko

@badp You get loot boxes, but they don't carry over to the main servers

Unionhawk

@badp I mean yes, no, and PTR is a separate region that doesn't transfer items or levels

(there are no brigitte cosmetics on PTR)

they occasionally refresh user profiles from live

Dragonrage

I got pinged for something

Unionhawk

20:53

science

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki hue

Unionhawk

Don't worry about it

SaintWacko

!!science!!

Kevin van der Velden

Many people got pinged for science

MBraedley

@badp Yes, and no, but that's because I don't think there's any Brigitte things anyway, and the third unasked question, no, they don't matter, because they don't move over to the regular regions.

SaintWacko

20:54

And some people did not get pinged for science

Hm

People who got a highlight, but not pinged, did it give you the little yellow bubble?

MBraedley

@SaintWacko I don't remember.

Unionhawk

@SaintWacko no

SaintWacko

@Yuuki @Yuuki @Yuuki @Yuuki @Yuuki @Yuuki @Yuuki @Yuuki @Yuuki @Yuuki @MBraedley

Hoi

MBraedley

@SaintWacko No ping notification (and I didn't have my earbuds in, but I didn't get the sound the last mass ping either).

SaintWacko

20:57

@MBraedley Bah

badp

hoi

SaintWacko

I was hoping it would be at least give you the bubble

Then it would be fine that it didn't audibly ping you

badp

@Unionhawk all you need is some light editing

Yuuki

@badp Oh yeah, I don't expect to play her any time soon.

MBraedley

@SaintWacko I'm not sure if it'll even hit your stack exchange notifications.

badp

21:00

just a tasteful touch

Hoi

21:16

My parents just said "goodbye teenager!" as I went to my room. At dinner I also said "tomorrow there won't be any teenagers living in your home anymore" to which my dad replied "well finally! it took you 10 years dammit!".

SaintWacko

@MBraedley Darn, that would've made things easier

Yuuki

Wait, am I older than @Arperum?

wtf

Hoi

I'm turning 20, @arp is turning 30

but he's in denial

Maximillian

Oh man. 20. I remember 20.

I just recently hit 36.

GodEmperorDune

@Hoi 30 is tough, RIP @Arperum

Kevin van der Velden

21:18

RIPPerum

GodEmperorDune

i used to get injured from like doing activities

Yuuki

Okay, so I'm not older than @RIPerum.

GodEmperorDune

now i get injured from sleeping

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune Well, thanks to sleep apnea, sleeping could kill me if I do it wrong. Although I think that's a very small chance.

Hoi

@arp is convinced he is eternally 22

GodEmperorDune

21:20

@Yuuki :/ we had a baby alarm thing that detected and alerted if she stopped breathing, surely they have similar things for adults

Arperum

I AM NOT TURNING 30 IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS

3

Hoi

@arp ur old

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune I recently got a CPAP machine that applies positive pressure to my airways.

Hoi

@yuuki my dad has one too, my mum describes the sound as weird vacuumcleaner humming

Yuuki

I have one of the quieter ones and I think my breathing is louder than the machine.

GodEmperorDune

21:22

@Yuuki TIL, i thought a CPAP machine analyzed pap smears but that is A DIFFERENT THING ENTIRELY

Yuuki

@GodEmperorDune I worry about the picture in your head when @StrixVaria and I were talking about CPAP machines in the past.

Dragonrage

It's ok @Arperum, @Stern'old is like 50 or something.

Yuuki

@Dragonrage 50 millenia, yeah.

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki i mean a machine is a machine, it doesn't have a special headcanon

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum I definitely won't be reminding you of that fact on saturday, repeatedly

Arperum

21:23

There is also the chance I have a collegue that is younger than I am now. I don't know, haven't asked him.

Dragonrage

Idk actually, I just know he is old because we call him @Stern'old

GodEmperorDune

i think we compared birth years one time and @sterno was only like a year older than the next bridger

Kevin van der Velden

Yeah he's not the oldest here

Dragonrage

@KevinvanderVelden preposterous

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden MULTIPLE WEEKS LEFT

Dragonrage

21:26

Time works differently on the bridge. @Sterno is several millennia old or something and @Ronan is forever 16

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum Yeah but you'll be celebrating/mourning that fact on saturday

@Dragonrage 16*

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden SHUSH. EVERYTHING IS A LIE

Maximillian

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Video games played offline off the shoulder of Orion. I watched super soakers glitter in the sun near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.

Hoi

@Arperum say goodbye to your teenage girlfriend, old man :p

GodEmperorDune

@Hoi rekt

user15026

21:33

@Arperum 30 isn't bad, I have been it for 7 whole months

Arperum

@Ash WEEKS I TELL YOU. WEEKS

(I might be overdoing it at this point)

Kevin van der Velden

Yes

user15026

@Arperum I am not sure what you mean here

Kevin van der Velden

He won't be 30 for a few weeks

But then he'll be 30 FOR A WHOLE YEAR

user15026

I don't think you will suddenly shrivel and die

Unionhawk

21:35

He might, we'll just have to find out

Kevin van der Velden

I'm not 100% sure

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden and then 31 which is a pleasing prime number

Kevin van der Velden

And prime I think?

Yes!

Though he's currently also a prime number of years old

user15026

(I am potentially plotting a prime birthday picnic for myself this summer)

user15026

Because I think "a perfectly prime picnic party" would be fun

user15026

21:36

And there are ducks at the park and that is good

Maximillian

Can confirm, I did not shrivel and die.

The reaper does not show up for an annual review either.

user15026

I don't understand why round numbers make people panic. Round numbers are so friendly.

Yuuki

@Ash Are you going to eat prime rib?

And watch some prime-time TV?

user15026

@Yuuki I think I should!

Kevin van der Velden

@Ash that's why 32 is a great age!

30 ain't that good though

user15026

21:39

I don't know, zeros are so nice and smooth and chill

Yuuki

@Ash You should get picnic stuff through Amazon Prime.

user15026

32 is good though because it can be made from so many numbers

user15026

Whatever the math word is for that

user15026

36 is even better

Hoi

@KevinvanderVelden I'll be with @arp the moment he turns 30 so I'll be there for mental support and hugs. I will update you if he suddenly turns a different colour or something

user15026

21:40

36 has so many numbers that go in

Yuuki

@Ash And how many numbers go out?

Kevin van der Velden

@Ash 2 and 2 and 2 and 2 and 2?

user15026

@Yuuki it depends how many were not friendly

Yuuki

@Ash The Thunderdome of Whole-Number Divisors.

user15026

@KevinvanderVelden all the 2s! So many the 2s!

user15026

21:41

@Yuuki exactly

Maximillian

36, that's as many as six sixes!

GodEmperorDune

@Maximillian and that's terrible

John

21:59

@Arperum ooooooh guaranteed 6L would be super nice

I usually only find about 1 workable 6L per league

if that

Arperum

This is a hell of a recipe though. You need four specific double affic bestiary mobs. And it gives a random rare. Which has no guarantee to be any sort of usefull to your build.

John

yeeaaah....

Memor-X

curious, is there a real significant difference between XDR and GDDR RAM?

GodEmperorDune

@Memor-X ecks dee arr is more fun

(actually i have no idea)

Yuuki

@Memor-X .... xD

SaintWacko

22:14

I believe you mean @Memor-X D

GodEmperorDune

@SaintWacko hue

fredley

Jesus Christ /r/dontflinch

I've never been more stressed in my life

10/10, would cortisol again

John

22:57

This was more pleasant than I expected

Yuuki

@John Poor thing might've been fleeing a seal.

Memor-X

@John NINJA!

Arperum

Happy birthday @Hoi! No more being a teenager for you!

GodEmperorDune

@John "this isn't how happy feet went AT ALL"

Yuuki

@Hoi ಠ_ಠ

Hoi

23:10

@Yuuki well I'm no teen anymore now :p

GodEmperorDune

@Yuuki it's europe tho

user15026

@Hoi while I appreciate your joking here, this strains the sort of acceptable stuff in a public and indexed chat room.

user15026

Can we not?

Hoi

I didn't mean it quite like that, so sorry, I'll look if I can delete the comment

Arperum

@Hoi @Ash certainly can do that for you.

user15026

23:16

Yep, I have the magic delete button :)

user15026

(okay it's not that magic but it looks like a trash can and it makes things go boom so you know, fun for the whole family and all)

Hoi

Just delete my past few comments, soz

Arperum

@Hoi The offensive one is gone, the rest is no problem, don't worry.

user15026

It's all good, I deleted the needed bit, the rest is just a learning experience reminder, no worries
