technically possible probably depending o nthe cells and how much extra you want to add

a good idea in any situation except doing it for fun? probably not

[hushed raven]

There are a few after market batteries already have have a higher capacity, but it's usually a trade off of higher capacity but lower brand knowledge and trust

[lethal walrus]

im doing a recaptcha and im on the third try after being told to try again

im genuinely considering making a captcha solver extension bc captcha solving is cheap enough and this is annoying enough

[crystal wren]

It has been recorded.

[lethal walrus]

make that sixth time

[devout vault]

skill issue

[lethal walrus]

ok

[dusty pollen]

are you SURE you're not a robot?

[lethal walrus]

and i cant do audio :(

okay you win i wont access your captcha protected content >:(

[dusty pollen]

making chicken nuggets. I feel like it's a good time to try chicken salt

[errant comet]

I was stopped by sdv wiki captcha cuz I forgot what was the shanes name

[lethal walrus]

okay so i copied it out of the private window

into the main one

i clicked THREE fire hydrants

and it was happy

with one page!

so... thats good i guess?

[dusty pollen]

rick

[lethal walrus]

omg they have custom captchas now?

[dusty pollen]

always did

[lethal walrus]

am i going crazy or is that not shanes face

like that

[devout vault]

I missed the chicken salt conversation, so this very much feels like a “I’m having tomato soup, time to finally try ketchup by mixing it in” sort of statement

[lethal walrus]

looks slightly different

[errant comet]

mouth looks weird

[safe dragon]

that's clearly shaun

[lethal walrus]

i thought it was just cloudflare

[dusty pollen]

vegetarian

[dusty pollen]

I'm pretty sure it's hardcoded to be that single question

[lethal walrus]

interesting

[errant comet]

glad to see jojamart shane has this one sprite too

[errant comet]

maybe that threw me off

and I forgot

what a shane

[dusty pollen]

why are his eyes different colours in each one

[lethal walrus]

joja has special lighting

[hushed raven]

coloured contacts exist

or ye the special lighting is more magical

[dusty pollen]

usually your coloured contacts don't deactivate when you frown

[hushed raven]

They do if you don't put them in right

[errant comet]

omg

[lethal walrus]

yours don't?

[errant comet]

I wanna do a joja themed mine layer

[devout vault]

Just randomly throwing the word vegetarian at me is not helping my confusion.

Quite the opposite, actually

[lethal walrus]

i am confused at every part of this message

[devout vault]

<mines overhaul mod flashbacks>

[errant comet]

:3

[devout vault]

Someone has been meaning to try ketchup, and so they decided to try it by mixing some in with their tomato soup.

Doesn’t that sound delicious?

[lethal walrus]

[errant comet]

ketchup is a jam

cuz tomato is fruit

and mayo is egg jam

and when tomato and egg love each other very lot

[devout vault]

According to Stardew, tomato is a vegetable. Hence kegs making tomato juice

[dusty pollen]

chicken salt. is vegetarian

[errant comet]

booo

[devout vault]

And how does that relate to this conversation at ALL, when you said you’re using them with chicken nuggets?

also: wat

[errant comet]

honestly theres gotta be a separate option in settings when we create a farm to choose if tomato is gonna be fruit or veg

its gonna affect pretty much the whole gameplay

[devout vault]

I don’t think people go to Stardew for botanical accuracy

[dusty pollen]

you were implying I was mixing chicken with chicken. but I am not because chicken salt is vegetarian

[devout vault]

Exhibit A: crop growth time

[errant comet]

considering theres a whole cutscene for that

[devout vault]

Ah, but have you considered: my brain jumps around so fast that I sometimes can’t even see the trails from the things it jumps over?

ie. Casey did a dumb again

[errant comet]

salt is like sugar but stone

and sugar is like plant salt but sweet

I wonder if its possible to have a plant based salt

[devout vault]

“Recursion is like calling functions but recursive” type of statement

[dusty pollen]

I rule chicken salt good

[devout vault]

“god creating the world in 6 days” type statement

[crystal wren]

Ah, but what about...

[errant comet]

thats smart

[devout vault]

now I’m just being silly

[hushed raven]

technically yes, but I'm not sure if the salts they make should be eaten XD

[errant comet]

who decides that

[hushed raven]

usually the chemicals in the salts XD

[errant comet]

I didn't ask them

[hushed raven]

NO-

[errant comet]

im gonna eat everything I consider edible

[dusty pollen]

https://tenor.com/view/doja-cat-star-wars-gif-25078126

[errant comet]

even if it costs me

[devout vault]

They said “should not” not “can’t”

[errant comet]

never ask me why I have sand in the username

[hushed raven]

was the maarmite with vinegar chaser video ever sent and I missed it? or have it not happened yet? XD

[errant comet]

oh fair enough

[devout vault]

…is that chocolate

[errant comet]

my bad

[hushed raven]

better, marmite

I think

[errant comet]

marmlade.. 😋

[devout vault]

I don’t know what marmite is

[little furnace]

There is one that uses the audio alternative.

[devout vault]

Remember, I’m an uncultured American

[hushed raven]

only the best thing ever, officially it's yeast extract, the sorta vegetarian Vegemite

[errant comet]

I hear a lot of words here and I don't know what half of that is

but I like hearing words

[dusty pollen]

vegemite is also vegetarian

[hushed raven]

but... it's beef extract

Australia wtf

[dusty pollen]

that's bovril

[little furnace]

Yeast extract is like MSG without being MSG.

[hushed raven]

I swear I googled it and one was beef extract and it wasn't bovril, brain why are you lying to me, you're supposed to be on my side

[errant comet]

beef is cow meat right

[dusty pollen]

yes

[errant comet]

ooh neat

[little furnace]

Beef is of French origin, so Anglish uses cowmeat.

Or just cow. Like you would say chicken instead of chickenmeat.

Apparently meat was a word for any food, so some speakers argue it should be cowflesh instead.

[errant comet]

flesh and meat has different vibe to it tbh

[dusty pollen]

hence mince pies and their mince meat filling!

(fruit)

[little furnace]

Cowflesh sounds Celtic, I will go with that from now on.

[cinder karma]

bounces up and down awaiting journal page

[hushed raven]

I use flesh for the skin and fat outer layers but meat as the muscles and nice bits deeper, it makes sense that they're the same thing though

[hushed raven]

Also an absolutely amazing food

[errant comet]

I live chichek legs they have a lot of meat

[cinder karma]

What conversation did i walk into

[errant comet]

and muschles

[hushed raven]

A very meaty one it seems XD

[errant comet]

bones are cool too

unlike wing bones

ew

[little furnace]

We want to take the French out of English.

[errant comet]

who those we are

[hushed raven]

Speaking of bones, thank you pixel composer for working with me this time

[dusty pollen]

speak for yourself! I have much more pressing changes to make to the English language should I be allowed to

[little furnace]

There are dozens of us. Dozens.

[errant comet]

nor me

oneta

whaa

[little furnace]

Oh, don't worry, I have planned for many changes.

[devout vault]

Thanks for holding "control" down Mozart, I really wanted to zoom out on reddit, not scroll down.

[hushed raven]

First thing I would do as the leader of the English language is change it to be phonetic, then I'll turn it into welsh

[devout vault]

(actual size / unedited screenshot, by the way)

[errant comet]

this cat is actual size

[little furnace]

I will poll for thee.

[errant comet]

I can fit it on my hand

[hushed raven]

Kitty! Hello Mozart!

[devout vault]

He also just rotated that monitor by like 20 degrees

[dusty pollen]

I would remove four letters in favour of introducing two more that make an s sound and two more that make a k sound

[hushed raven]

As one does XD

[dusty pollen]

I feel like we don't have enough of either of those sounds

[devout vault]

I'll only vote for you if you'll also add a few more '<letter>h' combos that completely change how something sounds

[errant comet]

my language have a horizontally mirrored R letter I very like

apparently korn also like it

[dusty pollen]

I would also introduce "x divorce" in which › and ‹ are separate letters making the k and s sound separately

[little furnace]

Can you change the G to always be a "GIF" G?

[errant comet]

so instead of korn i read it as kojan

[devout vault]

what made you think they were making things more sane?

[dusty pollen]

no. I will instead make it so sometimes g can make an s sound

[little furnace]

Then the J should make an S sound as well.

[dusty pollen]

and sometimes s can make a g sound (either one)

[devout vault]

Iro, are you ignoring your constituents ie. ignoring my request

[dusty pollen]

no that's a k sound

[dusty pollen]

no can do. our new modifier letter is q

[lethal walrus]

what? no, it should always be a g like in gadget

[little furnace]

I think I will poll for Atlas then.

[errant comet]

almost midnight i gotta go sleep byee

https://gifconvert.vxtwitter.com/convert.avif?url=https://video.twimg.com/tweet_video/HIpVaSLXAAAnRh0.mp4

[devout vault]

dang it, I guess I'll have to vote for Atlas instead

I would ask for a third candidate, but as well all know, first past the post is an awful system and simultaneously the most perfect democratic methodology in the world with no problems and absolute freedom™

[dusty pollen]

poll is now pronounced the same as sauce

[little furnace]

Good night and swevet well.

[errant comet]

i will

[crystal wren]

Okay, here it is. I may have overdone it with the vinegar just a little bit in hindsight.

@cyan shadow definitely wanted to see this. Also paging @bronze fox. And @devout vault, why not?

[devout vault]

sorry, is this something I wanted to see?

[bronze fox]

i love your beard

i havent watched the horrors yet

[devout vault]

Having never seen a shot glass myself, I think that is a bit more than a shot glass of vinegar

[lethal walrus]

that is so much vinegar wtf

i never knew marmite was smooth tbh

[cinder karma]

"I dont have a shot glass so giant mug"

[bronze fox]

the big spoonful of marmite did something to me

[cinder karma]

U also say "vinegar" very southern

[devout vault]

(affectionate) or (derogatory)

[crystal wren]

Oh, actually, @hardy jewel too because of the chicken salt!

It's not my fault I didn't have a shot glass, though.

[devout vault]

Wait were you pinging people because of liking one part of the combo

In which case why the heck did you ping me

[bronze fox]

MY VIDEO STOPPED SECONDA BEFORE DISASTER

i have to ge ton my computer

[bronze fox]

[cinder karma]

I need to get chicken salt too

Gotta join the club

[fleet wren]

thank you for committing food crimes for our sake (i still have zero context)

[hardy jewel]

YESSS

alan needed to educate me on what malt vinegar was and how people put it on chips, and then this channel had a seperate conversation about marmite vs vegemite, which led to his idea of putting them together and we asked for a video

10/10

[cinder karma]

That's a large shot

[devout vault]

"we"

I never asked for such a thing

I much prefer code crimes, not food crimes

[crystal wren]

And yet you were forced to watch.

[crystal wren]

Actually, Jade's is out of date now too. For shame.

[hardy jewel]

did she abandon 2d men or dragon ball

[devout vault]

I'm pretty sure all three of those things still apply

[crystal wren]

Sonic phase, not Dragonball phase.

[devout vault]

There's probably other topics to talk about too (like Sonic), but dragon ball is still something to talk to her about

[devout vault]

something something multiphase state of being

...or in this case, multiphase being

[hardy jewel]

[crystal wren]

Schrodinger's fandom?

[little furnace]

Technically, that is a 2d hedgehog, not a 2d man.

[devout vault]

No, she'd talk about both I'm pretty sure

@ jade someone just said sonic characters aren't people /s

[red crest]

if it helps, you are far from the only one. i think more people call me Buttons than Button much to my dismay

I'm impressed

That's also a big shot

[dusty pollen]

that you know of

what if this concoction just unlocked them

[crystal wren]

You know what, it could do that. I bet the number of people who've done that exact thing is fairly low.

[dusty pollen]

I feel like the chicken salt is what really makes it definitely rare

because I somehow don't doubt people have done the marmite+malt vinegar thing before

[crystal wren]

Actually wait, did @hushed raven see it?

[devout vault]

Time to make a Stardew mod where you get superpowers but you unlock it with a recipe that is incredibly unholy (and randomly generated per save)

And importantly, it’s not a recipe like the cooking menu. You’ll have to experiment to find out

[sand frost]

Did you lose a bet with someone who’s out to get you??

[crystal wren]

Context here!

[sand frost]

Also, that’s like 3 shots of vinegar, surely

what about mixed in with marmite and vinegar (apparently)

[cinder karma]

yeah, same metal strategy

[hushed raven]

So when did the regret start to sink in, and are you still alive XD you had so much more marmite than I thought you would and the vinegar was certainly a double XD I think I fear you

vegemite and lemon juice only 🙂‍↕️

I knew the Marmite would be fine, but if I had only spent a couple of pounds and gotten a cheap shot glass...

[crystal wren]

Yeah, that's probably the most mentally healthy thing you can do in that situation.

[crystal wren]

I mean the Marmite was nice! Still slightly feeling the vinegar on my throat this morning, but it'll be fine in a bit.

Huh!

Why is there an insanely long list of inappropriate and weird lniks being injected into every website i visit 👀

(i do not visit these websites, so this is odd)

from looking, its over 1k links

thats very unique

[devout vault]

That's just CSS for said links, not the links themselves

[weak obsidian]

i wonder why its on every website

😭

[devout vault]

Judging from the display:none, I'm guessing it'd be a browser extension hiding stuff

[hushed raven]

display:non yep what Casey says XD

[weak obsidian]

It's on Brave, with 0 extensions ever installed

[weak obsidian]

yeah i saw that but its so odd

[devout vault]

Doesn't brave have stuff like that built in

[weak obsidian]

i wonder if its just preloading those link

[devout vault]

CSS wouldn't load the links

[hushed raven]

is it a feature of brave itself? it- Casey again please

[devout vault]

In this case

It's just a text comparison if the URL of the link matches the pattern

[weak obsidian]

i know brave blocks malicious things, however, i dont believe ive ever heard of them having this on very page

[weak obsidian]

ah

yup ur right, i just checked a doc for it

was scared for a second 😨

i dont visit cutesinglesinmyarea sites

[dusty pollen]

yeah it looks like a kind of very manual very duct tape ad blocker haha

Yeah, or don't want someone else getting it

[lethal walrus]

or if github wants to pay them to just not leak it

[red crest]

According to GitHub it's just their repos that were breached/stolen. like the repos github uses to make github

[frosty echo]

4000 of them? 👀

[red crest]

doesnt seem like that large a number to me tbh

[lethal walrus]

seems reasonable

a lot of them are smallish things from the sample

[modest steppe]

4000 wouldn't even be scratching the surface of github

[lethal walrus]

they're github's repos to make github

its not a breach of everyone's repos

[shut storm]

Oh sry😭

[lost drum]

wait so how does this work. does SMAPI add that assembly attribute that I've heard of that causes the CLR to ignore access checks? because I'm getting an access violation error and the game insta crashes (oddly enough, doesn't even trigger an exception on the debugger, just crashes 🤔) and I don't think .NET 4.5.2 supports that attribute.

[dusty pollen]

I could be completely wrong but I'm pretty sure SMAPI and the game are both on .NET 6?

[devout vault]

SMAPI's nuget package is different from Publicizer nuget.

Publicizer is here, and the docs actually mention that there are two different ways it can work (default "both", but you can disable one of the two if needed), one of which is IgnoreAccessChecksTo: https://github.com/krafs/Publicizer

The SMAPI ModBuildConfig nuget package does the other stuff they managed (search for game path, etc.): https://github.com/Pathoschild/SMAPI/blob/develop/docs/technical/mod-package.md

I believe DH was suggesting that if you are doing your own forced-public method similar to publicizer, you could make it part of a package that does other things specific to the game you're modding as well

[weak obsidian]

YESSS

well, it appears i didnt have to change my unit and E2E tests that much

my app is very close to moving onto the CI/CL pipeline

i had some hardcoded windows elements for file checks on one of my backup unit tests

also fixed my setup_dev scripts and my dockerfile to have an SSOT instead of them guessing on which dependencies are worth installing

meow

[weak obsidian]

tbh i read this as "it's the heavy metal issues involved"

[lost drum]

that filled in a lot of gaps, thank you for taking the time to reply! I appreciate it, and sorry I'm really green at this
my native question is: I get how it builds now, but how do you get things to run at the user's end? does the build plugin swap in the code for reflection? or do we rely on the aforementioned assembly attribute?

[lost drum]

I believe so. that should support the attribute

[devout vault]

The Publicizer github readme talks about how it works. I think one approach is the attribute, and the other involved unsafe

[little furnace]

I need browser recommendations. Key requirement is that when I open a new window and start typing immediately, the input gets queued even if the window isn't ready yet. So far I've only seen Edge do that. Firefox and its forks performed the worst in that regard.

[weak obsidian]

I believe that's called omnibox input buffering

Firefox can enable that feature via preloading: (such as: browser.startup.preXulSkeletonUI and browser.tabs.remote.warmup.enabled)

However, I'd assume you do not want Gecko-based

[weak obsidian]

Brave!

Based on the latest version of Blink

It's one of the fastest browers based on Blink!

(blink is chromium)

From my personal benchmarks, and others, it performs very closely to Google Chrome

way ahead of firefox and any other browser like that too

in real-time testing, it performs slightly faster than Google Chrome due to its adblocker

which is built in Rust

and isn't an extension, its intergrated into the browser itself

Gecko is way slower, with seeing 22 on the benchmarking suites, while bleeding edge Gecko is around 31

Chromium (blink) comes in around 40-50

[little furnace]

I don't trust them after they hijacked websites to insert affiliate links or something. And I have payed for a lifetime license for a system-wide adblocker, so I don't need another one.

[weak obsidian]

since the world is now focused on supporting chrome more than firefox, and also because firefox has been slackin off lately

[weak obsidian]

I remember that in 2020, however, the browser is open source, and since has had no problems

I usean enterprise policy so there is no crypto at all

Other than that, maybe try Ungoogled Chromium?

[lethal walrus]

it was in the source code, it doesn't really matter that it was open source and did it

[little furnace]

It's still the same devs, so why should I trust them? Apparently they also defended that.

[little furnace]

I'm mainly looking for something that does things differently. Like workspaces that are isolated (different accounts for a website) but share stuff like history, extensions and settings.

[little furnace]

I will try that for Zen.

[weak obsidian]

I know, im saying nowadays its been audited way more than when they first released

no browser is perfect

Google Chrome has been logging incognito history for over 10 years and got busted for it

but again, penalty was cheap

(sadly real, feel free to look it up)

[weak obsidian]

Didn't know that, good to know

[weak obsidian]

Sounds like gecko based

[little furnace]

Both already are enabled...

[weak obsidian]

Zen's latest releases are more bleeding edge, which is good for Gecko, since the latest gecko is faster

[weak obsidian]

CRI

ok

go and google preloading

enable as many preloading as possible, google can help ya out there

[little furnace]

Yeah, time to do some research. Thank you.

[weak obsidian]

np! checkout google, its like

10 configurations that gotta be enabled True

since firefox disables it by default

[little furnace]

I haven't really found anything that changed my experience. I now testet ungoogled Chromium, which works flawlessly and confirms that this is mostly engine-level stuff. Unfortunately, Vivaldi, which I otherwise really like, somehow doesn't do it as well.

[lethal walrus]

i somehow only just discovered <area> and <map>.. thats so useful

went to a rust programming conference, got invited to a dinner, just came home and now I am tired

Why does atra not get to go to rust programming conferences

[safe dragon]

I paid to be there

lots of good talks and got to meet like... 20+ people I knew from the bevy discord

who knew that my habit of just kinda materializing in off topic channels would end up this way

and I did NOT notice

[cinder karma]

not gonna last but

nice! do you just not use the gree at all?

other than as a catalyst

"I'll figure out what to put in the second chamber later"
later:

[fleet wren]

lmaooo

[dusty pollen]

I guess I could stick a single piston on an arm in there and make the rest of the solution much quicker by just stashing the metal in there and copying the quicksilver

only need 12 products, 1 is already handled by the setup, and there are exactly 11 free spaces in the extra chamber once you account for the piston...

[dusty pollen]

what studio is actually releasing these

like zachtronics doesn't exist any more

were the rights just transferred to whatever the new one is called?

[fleet wren]

honestly wouldnt surprise me if it all comes from zach's personal dev account

[devout vault]

???????????????

Okay I was confused because I found a game of theirs with an update as recent as this past february

apparently the newer games are under their newer company

also I hadn't quite made the connection that zachtronics was the company that made Infiniminer (not that I ever played it, but I am aware it was a big part of MC's inspiration)

[cinder karma]

how is my min cost solve better than top percentage in area

how

min cost solves do a lot of the wave it all around like you just don't care lol\

[devout vault]

I mean, I think the result in cycles clearly answers that 😛

[fleet wren]

top percentile seems to not be the absolute top for some reason

[cinder karma]

it's not

I have solves under top percentile

[fleet wren]

(my min-maxed cycles solution for golden thread is also better)

[cinder karma]

I'm just confused as to how a did-not-care-about-area with much waving around solve somehow got under top percentil area

that's a cost solve

[dusty pollen]

I mean, opus magnum got an entire dlc even more recently than that

[cinder karma]

Wasn't the dlc in February?

But it's been getting weekly journal pages

[dusty pollen]

idk time isn't real

slightly off topic but Does anyone know how to delete old history from GitHub? I've been through so many tutourials and I still have no idea how to do it and my "space" is being clunked up every time i try DX

[supple ether]

What do you mean by history? Are you trying to remove commits from the git history?

[upbeat iron]

Oh yeah I need to know that too I gotta get rid of all my old stuff from high school

[golden laurel]

yes! I've been committing a lot of stuff and I need to remove the old stuff so i can have more space

since i don't want to pay for more storage haha

[supple ether]

Github has a storage limit?

There's a few things you can do. Mainly removing unused repositories and squashing commits

Just be aware that anything you do will be destructive and permanent

[errant comet]

Dyno is back yay

[golden laurel]

according to this email i got 😅 i haven't even been using the account for long, less than a month

[golden laurel]

any idea how i'd do that? DX

[supple ether]

Oh codespaces is something else

[golden laurel]

oh geez i'm a noob i have no idea what it is DX

[supple ether]

Codespaces is some kind of cloud compute thing

I haven't used it so I can't offer advice but I will say that your repositories are fine and you can leave them be

[golden laurel]

sounds good! Thank you!

[golden laurel]

I have no codespaces so it looks like they just wanted to cause anxiety for no reason lol! xD All good i think! Thank you ❤️

[little furnace]

Try to set a limit anyway and maybe change your password and use MFA. It's not like them to send out emails like that.

[golden laurel]

I saw on Reddit some people were getting the same issue for a couple years but I'll for sure be changing my password! Thank you ❤️

[errant comet]

Weren't there some github leak recently or something

Could that be a reason

Probably not, sorry

So

Chicken salt

Can u make it

[steel kraken]

Sure

[cinder karma]

Recipe plox

[prisma flume]

it's fairly self explanatory

[safe dragon]

harvest salt straight from the chicken

[hardy jewel]

its original use was seasoning for a chicken
as far as I know it’s got bouillon cube, onion/garlic powder, paprika, msg, white pepper, salt, celery seeds
many people make it

[safe dragon]

harvest salt straight from someone else's seasoned chicken

[devout vault]

But where does the original chicken salt come from then

[fleet wren]

ah yes, the famous dilemma, did the chicken or the salt come first

[heavy dagger]

[cinder karma]

At risk of being on topic selph u should make a chicken salt mod

[fleet wren]

sheared from happy chickens daily

[cinder karma]

Yes!

[devout vault]

My other concern is perhaps more important: what happens when there are no more chickens with salt left, since it all got harvested?

[fleet wren]

we'll need synthetic replicas
salt from seasoned robot chickens

[cinder karma]

The chickens produce new chicken salt if you feed them salt

tbh impressed they even tried

then again Starbucks is still operating in Vietnam somehow

[prisma flume]

i can't even imagine why people eat guzman here. like all fast food it just barely clings to the words 'fast' and 'food' while not even being any cheaper than food

In your heart of hearts

Is Starbucks truly a coffee shop

[prisma flume]

i still begrudge australia for inventing mccafe

[cinder karma]

Or a shop that sells milkshakes for adults

[safe dragon]

idk what Starbucks does

[devout vault]

you say that like its a bad thing

...wait, maybe it is. Adults shouldn't be too cowardish to like milkshakes

[prisma flume]

a shop that sells calories to adults ✨

[devout vault]

Milkshakes are delicious

[safe dragon]

I think it's one of those places that sells coffees that are 5% coffee and 95% sweetened things

[devout vault]

I mean, that's just the only way you can make coffee good

[prisma flume]

begone fake programmer

[cinder karma]

Okay! I can leave

[safe dragon]

I don't like coffee either I understand

but I also don't really like milkshakes

due to the presence of milk

can be fine but for childhood reasons the smell of milk makes me want to throw up

[devout vault]

I'm fake because I don't need substances to program well? /s

[devout vault]

Milk is not a fun flavor, but I usually don't smell actual milk. I don't have a great sense of smell though

Management? You mean responsibility? No thanks

[cinder karma]

Is this safe for work

[prisma flume]

well coffee probably, alcohol probably not

[safe dragon]

wtf...

tldr is that I was allergic to cow milk protein as a baby, built up some automatic negative response to the smell of milk

still forced myself to drink milk till I was 12

[prisma flume]

oh wow that sucks, why force yourself?

was it just a case of 'kid that didn't know better and assumed it was normal'

[prisma flume]

this meant 'how did your mother ever handle a kid that's sick from milk when that's all they can eat for the most difficult part' so i hope there's no 'wtf' interpretation

i think i'll leave it at that since this is already running very far from programming

[devout vault]

very little of what we talk about here is about programming

[safe dragon]

was told it was good for me...

which wasn't wrong

but it sucked

why can you only have one glyph of proliferation

[dusty pollen]

my current plan is ||use 2x reagents to have downgrade/upgrade pairs for the lead/silver and tin/whatever comes before silver, and then for gold just do proliferation? maybe? oh wait actually I should have enough quicksilvers for a straight upgrade...||

but more seriously

|| one iron/qs is just used as is. one iron is split for the tin and lead. one is promoted to copper. purify copper. copy copper. purify silver. copy silver twice. purify gold.||

9 is below minimum wage, 30 is more than I earn

9$ is half the min wage in the UK and I'm on under 30$ too, but also job advertising on discord? that's an actual thing?

[safe dragon]

it is sometimes yeah

the bevy game engine discord has a dedicated channel for it

[hushed raven]

wow, that's an interesting way to do it, ngl not a fan but I'm glad it isn't linkedin XD

[cinder karma]

I mean, the discord does have a #careers channel but he's spamming the pcb review channel

[safe dragon]

it kinda makes sense cause the discord is where a lot of the bevy people are at...

[cinder karma]

(Personally, the issue is the insulting salary lol, and the inability to read a room.)

[safe dragon]

I'll take your word for it that 30 usd an hour is an insulting salary in the area you live in

[hushed raven]

What does EE mean? been trying to figure it out and so far I have electronics enthusiasts as the most plausible answer

[safe dragon]

I assume electrical engineering

[hushed raven]

Ahh that does also make sense

I should've probably guessed given Atra's background

[safe dragon]

salaries are such a confusing thing to talk about with people from different countries

Portuguese lawyers make a thousand a month less than Dutch ones at the same experience level, for an example from my industry

yeah they do that

even during rush hour sometimes

It's a double decker is the worst part

Both decks are full

And of course two of the coaches have first class decks so those are empty

One of the Belgian sausage buses climbed onto the bus platform at my stop yesterday

I was looking at the driver like
Brother. You're supposed to stop next to me, not on top of me

He blocked my bus too, so luckily the bus I actually needed to take stopped behind him instead of pushing off without picking me up

The training regimen of De Lijn continues to mystify me

There's brushing the curb and then there's climbing it

[hushed raven]

One of the Belgian sausage buses climbed onto the bus platform
is a mildly terrifying sentence to read, I'm just imagining them having legs and arms XD

[cyan shadow]

I did call it a sausage, not a caterpillar

Woe, the track quality is ass

[safe dragon]

we do also have bendy buses

[cyan shadow]

My bracing skills from Bangalore buses are now in effect

Do all the bus companies do the bendy buses?

I've seen them in Brabant and in QBuzz territory so far

[hushed raven]

I thought they were a rarity ngl

[safe dragon]

only bendy buses I've seen were the huge ones they used in Utrecht to the science campus before the tram was built

[cyan shadow]

Bangalore had them too, but they got phased out, much to my sadness

They were ancient tbf

[safe dragon]

don't think utrecht campus has bendy buses anymore cause of the tram

[cyan shadow]

I think most of them had been in use for a couple decades by the time they were phased out

I think I've seen them in every major city here.

Same with double decker trains.

vim with .txts and .csvs. don't boo me I'm right

[little furnace]

Collabora is basically the new Office by the LibreOffice code devs (not the foundation).

[fleet wren]

yeah I've heard of that, sounds promising

it's based on LibreOffice and a lot of the code comes back upstream, ala CrossOver/Wine

[little furnace]

Yeah, but the question is how long LibreOffice will survive considering they lost over half of their top 10 code contributors to Collabora, including many founding members.

[worn remnant]

libreoffice works but it's vaguely shitty in ways i can't really explain (except that on my old box i somehow had two different versions installed, 5.x and 6.y, and they frequently got mad at each other oh my god they were roommates)

[fleet wren]

...huh i didnt know about the whole drama that unfolded just last month

i just assumed they had a working relationship like crossover/wine

[devout vault]

drama? in the open source community???

[hushed raven]

I have one question for Collabora, How is this a train??

[little furnace]

Looks like a train to me.

[cinder karma]

It looks like a projector to me

[crystal wren]

Well see, probably this maybe?

I think?

[hushed raven]

Okay I do sorta see that

but It still looks mostly like a projector to me too

[crystal wren]

Yeah, that's a projector screen.

[cinder karma]

Hi DH!

[safe dragon]

when their view of trains is car centric...

"ah trains, those things that cause me to have to stop on the road and wait"

I think they were also more intending for it to look like a freight train?

it looks more like a train car with a container loaded on top of it

[red crest]

could be the front of a train with a very simplified cow catcher

[cinder karma]

Crumble, https://satle.ca/

[worn remnant]

maybe "train" is a verb and it's supposed to be a projector screen (that you are displaying your powerpoint slides on)

[safe dragon]

why me specifically

[crystal wren]

Okay, I got the country immediately...

[safe dragon]

dude this looks more like ||machu picchu|| than a city

[crystal wren]

3 guesses!

[safe dragon]

dude what do you mean city...

[dusty pollen]

what's the difference between satle and geoguessr

[crystal wren]

Aerial versus street view, it seems.

[safe dragon]

yeah

wtf

||so it is machu picchu||

but that's literally just not a city

[dusty pollen]

that's not the answer they're looking for though

[safe dragon]

I'm so confused

I thought we were supposed to get a picture of a city

[dusty pollen]

they're looking for ||aguas calientes||, though apparently the one you gave is actually an alternate name for that city

so it is in fact a city

[safe dragon]

I filled in ||Machu Picchu|| at first cause that's what it looked like but it wasn't recognized

unfortunately you could've given me unlimited guesses and I wouldn't have gotten the answer they were actually looking for cause I've never heard of it

[crystal wren]

Yeah, I so tried entering that, which it didn't recognise... then I just typed the country the place is in and tried the cities that came up.

[safe dragon]

||Aguas Calientes is a town in the Urubamba River Valley, in southeast Peru. ||

population of 4k people

[crystal wren]

||Aguas Calientes|| is a town in ||the Urubamba River Valley||, in ||southeast Peru||. It’s known for its ||thermal baths|| and as a ||gateway to the nearby Inca ruins of Machu Picchu||.

Explains why it was pinned as that place, but not... actually that place I guess?

[safe dragon]

I didn't get the answer at all even though my very first message here after opening the site was in fact the place they were going for

I give this quiz an immediate 0/10 for telling me it's looking for a city and then not making the answer a city

I guess "city" is technically a very poorly defined word that differs in definition by country

if they have a word for it at all

in the Netherlands whether something is a city is determined entirely by whether it was given "city rights" before 1848

[crystal wren]

See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Whqs8v1svyo

[safe dragon]

I believe the UK has a very similar city rights type of deal

forever amusing to me that the rather rural village looking place I used to work in was considered a city despite having less than half the population of my hometown

[dusty pollen]

the uk's definition of what counts as a city is, and this is genuinely true, "something that's on the list of cities"

[safe dragon]

effectively the same idea as us

[dusty pollen]

aka "we no longer have actual criteria we just say if it is or it isn't"

[safe dragon]

by that definition I suppose maybe satle is right and this is considered a city by them. Not like I know their laws

[little furnace]

In Peru it needs to have more than 5,000 citizens, so even according to them it's not a city.

[safe dragon]

damn...

0/10 indeed I'm suing

if this had been geoguessr I could've just plopped my pin on machu picchu and been given a solid amount of points

[dusty pollen]

I couldn't have because I would have had to know where to find machu picchu

[safe dragon]

ok fair same

[little furnace]

I couldn't have because Geoguessr is paid nowadays and I refuse to pay for it.

[safe dragon]

I'd have just put it somewhere in the mountains of peru but that hardly narrows it down

[crystal wren]

I do wonder how much profit they're actually making on top of Google's probably ridiculous API costs...

[safe dragon]

yeah no idea, probably not much frankly

[cinder karma]

U look like u know geography

[safe dragon]

that's unfortunately not true

[cinder karma]

Awwww

Histograms?

[safe dragon]

I have not been playing any games with histograms in them

[cinder karma]

Bar graphs?

Sankey?

[safe dragon]

been playing games with primarily... text

[brave zealot]

Guys I started learning C++ earlier today, and it’s going pretty good. If any of you guys know the language and got something you think I should know, then tell me

[fleet wren]

unique_ptr is very good

that's all

[weak obsidian]

add randomized sleep in all your methods

this helps with performance boost + makes sure there isn't any race conditions

(take this as a joke, and with heavy salt)

[safe dragon]

can't have race conditions if you have no async or threading

ez

[cinder karma]

Can't have race conditions if u never run

[weak obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/amen-preach-church-praise-gif-22005783

never run = good

never run = no error

no error = good

i like how u think

[little furnace]

But... I thought Atra liked running?

[cinder karma]

I like running and running on the edge

[weak obsidian]

running on edge is scary

what if u get greeted by a race condition-

[little furnace]

I think it's Paris.

[weak obsidian]

Moscow, Britian

very beautiful city

[cinder karma]

No gifs?

No gifs for atra?

[weak obsidian]

whos atra

(im sorry im newer orange

[weak obsidian]

i love this lol

[little furnace]

Atra is the user who just spoke of themselves in third person.

Pink agrees that this can be very confusing.

[devout vault]

Atravita basically never has their name as atravita

[fleet wren]

I will humbly submit one (1) before I go afk

[cinder karma]

oh that one is fun

I think I placed all three fires down and immediately had decision paralysis

[fleet wren]

if only if it's 2, or 4

[devout vault]

New atra name dropped.

sure is a good way you spelled it that way or I’d have to fuss. Now I just have to figure out what an idot is

[fleet wren]

speeen

[cinder karma]

I had a vision.

it was a bad vision

but it was a vision

with 300+ area

[cinder karma]

if you're proud of yourself, clap!

[lethal walrus]

analytics!

and it worked first try

😭 ublock breaks the dashboard

[hushed raven]

add another analytic for the amount of times someone increments the increment 88x31, it's the perfect useless statistic

[lethal walrus]

i dont think ican

its an iframe

i guess i can probably inject into it

but thats a lot of work

oh!! https://docs.umami.is/docs/track-events

[hushed raven]

you still don't have a working favicon for me btw XD

[lethal walrus]

oh i know

i dont

[hushed raven]

Ohh okay XD

[lethal walrus]

technically it should be the default astro favicon.svg but i never git add it in my deploy script so its never added in production

[hushed raven]

This increment button is way more fun than it should be XD

[lethal walrus]

are you the one that just did the last ~240 clicks of it 😭

[hushed raven]

BAHAHA yes

is it global???

[lethal walrus]

yes

thats the point of it

[hushed raven]

Oops I thought it used the broswers persistant storage and it was per browser XD

[lethal walrus]

oopsies

curse you browser security features

i wonder if a <frame> will send a referer

the answer is yes

very convenient

it should work on the main site now

???????? I JUST WENT TO IT WITH A REFERER

[hushed raven]

interestingly there are absolutely zero network requests coming up in the dev tools, I have never seen that before

[lethal walrus]

like.. at all?

or just umami-related ones

[hushed raven]

like none

[lethal walrus]

... why do i own altblock.net

[hushed raven]

both persist logs and disable cache are enabled so there should be something at least

[lethal walrus]

👀

[lethal walrus]

[hushed raven]

Oh hi thats maybe me

Absolutely nothing

Oh...
