| 00:13:06 | <Doranwen> | a very off-topic question (perfect for this channel): anyone know of a program that'll work similar to this with any wordlist one chooses? (I'd rather find something that would highlight any word not on the list): https://www.splasho.com/upgoer5/ |
| 00:15:51 | <Doranwen> | the closest thing I've found is AntWordProfiler, but it doesn't do real-time and there's no easy way to see the full text with any sort of highlighting of the problem words (all it does is list words in the text that aren't on the list and one has to go find them and edit them and save the file and re-run it to see the change): http://www.laurenceanthony.net/software/antwordprofiler/ |
| 00:20:26 | <@JAA> | atphoenix: There are a number of clients, but Riot/Element is still the only one that implements all features I believe. It took other clients years to add end-to-end encryption after it was standardised, and now the cross-device signing (which is really required to be able to switch between devices in a reasonable manner, as I understand it) is Element-only I believe; not sure about other stuff. |
| 00:20:52 | <@JAA> | I agree that IRC is far from perfect, by the way, and Matrix is probably the best contender to replace it, but I feel like it isn't quite there yet. |
| 00:23:31 | <OrIdow6> | Yeah, if IRC was off the table for whatever reason, Riot/Matrix/Element/whatever-name-change-they-make-next would be the best thing to replace it |
| 00:23:34 | <OrIdow6> | IMO |
| 00:24:57 | <OrIdow6> | But I like IRC for its simplicity (Riot/Matrix/Element communicates on top of HTTP IIRC) |
| 00:29:36 | <OrIdow6> | Something which seems to carry over in clients (looking through that page, none of the Riot/Matrix/Element clients don't have what are, compared to a normal IRC client, gigantic spaces between message lines) |

| 00:31:58 | <@JAA> | You can implement a basic IRC client in a dozen lines of code or so. I think my record was 13 in Python (with readable code). Now try doing that with Matrix... |
| 00:51:32 | <lunik1> | there's a few matrix clients out there despite it's fairly low adoption, so in my view it's probably easy enough to write one that it isn't a serious impediment. writing a matrix server on the other hand... |

| 01:58:29 | | Doranwen suspects a gedit plugin might do the trick for her word highlighting issue, but she doesn't have the skills to write one - requires Python coding, and she's only just gotten to being able to use sed… |
| 01:59:54 | <Doranwen> | is there anywhere on the 'net someone can post a request for one? or ask if such a program exists? I don't even know where to start |

| 02:01:23 | <@JAA> | Doranwen: You could abuse a spell checker for this. Add a dictionary containing your set of words, then set the editor to use that. That's actually how the splasho.com page works as well. |
| 02:01:46 | <Doranwen> | …interesting! |
| 02:01:50 | <Doranwen> | I hadn't thought of that |
| 02:02:50 | <@JAA> | You just need to make sure that the dictionary has all derivative forms as well (e.g. plural, genitive, conjugations). |
| 02:02:56 | | Doranwen nods |
| 02:02:57 | <Doranwen> | of course |
| 02:03:10 | <Doranwen> | AntWordProfiler requires the same thing, so I'm used to generating those wordlists |

| 02:13:21 | <Doranwen> | …trying to figure out how to add the dictionary appears to be the really tricky bit |
| 02:16:20 | <Doranwen> | pluma (my usual text editor) doesn't seem to have any method of selecting specific dictionaries - the spell check plugin is very basic - and gedit's spell check plugin is even more basic, no options at all |
| 02:16:37 | <Doranwen> | apparently it's all by language, which would mean I'd have to create a fake language for my system, if I used one of those two |
| 02:19:13 | | Doranwen thinks trying Writer with a custom dictionary might work better, lol |
| 02:22:53 | <Doranwen> | …this may be doable, the .dic files are easy to drop a list of words into :D |
| 02:22:57 | <Doranwen> | thanks for the suggestion! |

| 04:34:32 | <Doranwen> | JAA: I'm actually asking for help on the OO forums because I can't figure out how one actually turns off a standard dictionary in lieu of a custom one, but if it's doable someone there likely will know |
| 04:36:10 | <@JAA> | How is OpenOffice these days? The project was more or less falling apart years ago when I switched to LibreOffice. |
| 04:40:31 | <Doranwen> | I don't know - I ask for help with LO, lol |
| 04:40:36 | <Doranwen> | but they have quite a few people do that there |
| 04:40:46 | <Doranwen> | most of the time the solution for one works for the other |
| 04:41:04 | <@JAA> | Yeah, for basic things that haven't changed since the fork, the two are very similar anyway. |
| 04:41:07 | <Doranwen> | especially using Base, I haven't had any trouble with any of the solutions I've been given |
| 04:41:28 | <Doranwen> | this may be trickier, but I did make sure to clarify which I was using so people will know |
| 04:41:35 | <@JAA> | And most of the end-user stuff isn't meant to change anyway, even if the internals change. |
| 04:41:49 | <@JAA> | Good luck :-) |
| 04:41:55 | <Doranwen> | I just find the OO forums way better than any LO equivalent - I've seen some LO Answers thing but it's not like a proper forum |
| 04:41:59 | <Doranwen> | thanks :) |
| 04:43:01 | <Doranwen> | this is the first time I've asked for help with a Writer thing - previously all my questions have been about Base, as I've only learned how to create a database in the past couple of years and of course the first one I wanted to create turned out to be rather complex and not a typical beginner's database, lol |
| 04:43:17 | <@JAA> | Yeah, ask.libreoffice.org is the big one. There's also IRC I think. |

| 16:14:08 | <honno> | I wouldn't even know the timestamps in advance, so I'd be making IA servers resolve 100,000 urls |

| 23:18:48 | <Lord_Nightmare> | is my reading of tlller's proposed copyright felony(?) law correct? I made a tweet-thread about it here: https://twitter.com/Lord_Nightmare/status/1339706621514149896 |
| 23:19:03 | <Lord_Nightmare> | I have a feeling I may be mis-reading it |
| 23:19:24 | <Lord_Nightmare> | but the 3 sections of the law seem to me to be an MPAA wishlist, and were probably drafted by the MPAA and passed to tiller if i had to guess |
| 23:19:41 | <Lord_Nightmare> | (b).1 seems directed at popcorn time or any forks or similar services (kodi stuff?) |
| 23:19:52 | <Lord_Nightmare> | (b).2 seems directed at bittorrent and dht |
| 23:20:09 | <Lord_Nightmare> | (b).3 seems directed squarely at kim dotcom but also covers any other shady file transfer services |
| 23:20:51 | <Lord_Nightmare> | The text of tillis' law is found here: https://www.tillis.senate.gov/services/files/A30B0C08-FB97-4F90-BB60-43283EB7AF35 |
| 23:21:37 | <Lord_Nightmare> | and the definitions which you need to understand wtf its talking about are in `17 U.S. Code § 101 - Definitions` which can be found here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/101 |
