Hm
Most of my long-form content seems to naturally-ish end up with 6 footnotes
Though a few of my blog posts just abuse footnotes as lazy citations
Implementing proper citation support would be a whole thing
@Zoe-Savethedatadump Oh, no, will you cause footnote complaints on Codidact?
@Zoe-Savethedatadump On the blog?
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact yeah
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact Probably not
You will if you step on all the notes.
Oh, no! There's an NLN comment under your post!
Saw. I was half wondering if that was just fine on codidact
Nope.
It'll be deleted eventually.
But the consensus seems to be that it doesn't really hurt at the moment. Getting them deleted after a while is manageable.
Well, technically, the comment thread will be archived, not deleted.
00:23
All I'm hearing is arguments against moderating on codidact :p
@Zoe-Savethedatadump Did you expect people not to try them there when they failed on SE?
I stumbled into one guy there... after he insulted me and a bunch of others on MSO.
oh, neat
I can downvote without needing rep :p
Indeed.
At least two of the downvotes on my posts are revenge votes... from a guy I pissed off at MSO.
He followed me to Codidact to downvote my stuff.
00:30
yikes
I got a sockpuppet for asking questions on SO
Well, I took the chance to ask some very, very, very basic questions on CD... so there's that.
stackoverflow.com/q/56613609/6296561 keeps getting revenge downvoted in spite of being a pretty good question
What annoys me more is that if someone was going to revenge vote me, they could at least downvote some of the objective crap I've asked
Yeah, I know, revenge downvotes are annoying.
or stackoverflow.com/q/38211789/6296561, which is a blatant dupe
And stackoverflow.com/q/37643346/6296561 which is, eh, fine I guess, but it's worded horribly
@Zoe-Savethedatadump 5 upvotes, must be quality.
00:34
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact It took 3 years for me to self-hammer it
@Zoe-Savethedatadump Damnit, spyware girl!
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact I was 15 at the time, it didn't occur to me that it might be bad
@Zoe-Savethedatadump So young...
And so guilty.
01:01
yeah yeah :p
 
10 hours later…
11:06
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact "You're talking to the undisputed NLN comment deleter champion on SO! :p" - no, the undisputed comment delete champion is Sam
I was on track to deleting 1.1-1.2M comments in 2023. There was one year Sam deleted 6 million comments
I could probably pull similar numbers with higher accuracy if I fully automated the process, but that would get me bonked by SE, Inc., who hate automation, unless it's genAI they implemented. Outright hypocrites
11:22
lol
like, seriously, I have a backlog of around 1.5-2 million functionally guaranteed NLN comments I could delete right now if I could fully automate it. instead, when I do delete comments, I have to do a bare minimum manual review to not get bonked by SE
@Zoe-Savethedatadump sounds like someone was less scrupulous than you
@Zoe-Savethedatadump how can they tell if you're doing a manual review or not?
@AndrasDeak--СлаваУкраїні No, I'm just carefully skirting around the automation rules. I estimate there's around 20-40 million comments that could be deleted
Yes, you are. I'm saying Sam wasn't.
11:29
@ShadowWizard I mean, if I suddenly deleted 1.5 million comments, someone would be asking questions :p
@Zoe-Savethedatadump ah. Yup.
@AndrasDeak--СлаваУкраїні fair
How big is my backlog now actually?
wtf? The main backlog is just 13k
The second backlog is apparently down to 858k. But that's on 2022 data IIRC
11:48
Sounds like someone beat you to it :P
Someone would've had to hack into my server for that :p
glares at both @And
 
2 hours later…
13:33
Nice, up to +3 :p
13:50
@Zoe-Savethedatadump >:() Hrmpfh! Had to edit the archived comment.
@Zoe-Savethedatadump even better than an actual answer!
@Zoe-Savethedatadump So how did Sam do it?
@AndrasDeak--СлаваУкраїні Yes, that would take away all the fun and excitement.
@AndrasDeak--СлаваУкраїні Happiness from a new solution is finite. But my enjoyment from upvotes? Priceless. /s
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact IIRC, at the time it happened, the rules were more lax
@Zoe-Savethedatadump So before last Summer.
Unfortunately, the knee-jerk reaction to mods automating stuff has been to... forbid all unsupervised automation
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact it was several years ago
13:54
@Zoe-Savethedatadump Before 2018? Was Sam a moderator back then?
Aha. The year that my comments constantly got deleted. Not on main, I didn't pay attention to them there...
@ShadowWizard Well, I did break into there to steal the AC, so...
Oh shit, it's 22 degrees?
Guess I should turn it on
oh fuck, 25 inside. Didn't notice
Stop melting yourself.
14:15
What's that? Couldn't hear you over the sound of my AC :p
>:(
Sad, my latest feature request has 4 downvotes.
Well, latest edited.
It got most of those downvotes months ago.
I hate this temperature. Can somebody nuke the sun?
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact :D
I think you'll hate 0K more than 295K :p
14:47
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact done
if you look up you'll see a ball of fusion energy in 8 minutes
@AndrasDeak--СлаваУкраїні What a great time to have invested in a bomb shelter
@Zoe-Savethedatadump On Pluto?
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact no, europa
@Zoe-Savethedatadump Floating around in the ocean is probably enjoyable.
14:54
Yeah, the project to light jupiter on fire has been paying off :P
At least she didn't light uranus on fire
I don't think she wants to touch Uranus.
It's enough if the flames lick it
Does she breath flames?
15:04
But seriously, you can't touch gas giants
@AndrasDeak--СлаваУкраїні Sure you can
Right after you bite a rainbow
You underestimate how easy access I have to rainbows :p
15:07
A rainbow is a bow that shoots water-arrows, right?
Aside the pin, I have one on my keychain, and a couple stickers. The stickers are a bit harder to bite though, largely because they're placed too far from the edge of large, metal surfaces, such as my computer case
Anyway, I need to go get some plant stuff
15:31
@Zoe-Savethedatadump I ain’t going to Plantasjen today.
 
1 hour later…
16:44
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact Good! More plants for me :p
Also, le disappoint
The shoe hasn't dropped yet
Swinging my shoe into @Zoe’s cheek
you missed around 5km back
They had two of these left: plantasjen.no/…
17:03
@Zoe-Savethedatadump I don’t want the Monstera. Got enough with the one in the staircase.
Btw, can somebody do me a favour?
17:18
Grrrr, the 555 driver really is seriously broken.
Or Gnome is.
Whichever.
It refuses to let me switch from 60 to 144 Hz.
17:30
Some X OpenGL settings even randomly disappeared... Linux...
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact I have 3 :p
And one of them has massive leaves. Took a cutting from the top, and it's huge
17:46
Wth? 1K with 144Hz works. 2K with 144Hz works. 4K with 144Hz does not work. But 4K with 120Hz works. Linux, I hate you.
Why does something new have to break every day I turn on the computer?
@Zoe-Savethedatadump Not everyone has a thing for huge leaves...
Audio is broken, too. Great.
Wait, fixed that.
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact depends, what's the ROI?
@Tinkeringbell None.
Then I don't think so...
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact might be a display or graphics card limitation
@Zoe-Savethedatadump Nope.
Did you double-check the manuals to confirm?
17:57
Yep.
Oh, nice, the GL settings randomly reappeared.
The G-Sync settings, that is.
The GPU can handle 4K at 240 Hz.
And the colour depth is 24, so I don't even care to check again with HDR.
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact what about the monitor?
18:14
@Zoe-Savethedatadump 1x DP 1.4, 4K, 144 Hz, HDR400. Should be enough, don't you think?
And it's worked fine (with exceptions, because, Linux) for 3 months, so...
wait
555?
Nope
never midn
It's 560 that has a do not install notice (according to ummmmm either LM forums, nvidia forums, or reddit)
Nvidia drivers are managed by the OS, so installing new versions without the OS picking for me, is a pain.
That sounds wrong
Do you have a thing called "driver manager"?
18:20
@Zoe-Savethedatadump I have a release from this thing called a Github repository: github.com/pop-os/nvidia-graphics-drivers
Hold on
What if you run driver-manager?
That is the single dumbest thing I've heard so far today
The driver manager is one of the single best features to come out of upstream ubuntu
For the record, this is the driver manager. It automatically detects both devices that need special drivers, and the available drivers. The drivers in that list are mostly not part of the ubuntu/LM package repos - it's sourced from the graphics-drivers PPA
I've never had anything other than nvidia cards in the driver manager, but it's fantastic. It didn't work with the graphics-driver PPA until Mint 22 (Ubuntu 24.04), though I can't rule out that being a skill issue
Drivers break - Ubuntu/Mint mostly manages the drivers on its own, but even then, you have the option to roll back
Driver manager, without the graphics-driver PPA, also shows recommended drivers, and automatically switches between recommended versions
Well, you should tell the Pop!_OS developers, then.
That's probably fine for AMD, but NVIDIA drivers are complete garbage
You sound like you want an AMD GPU.
Yeah - it means losing some performance in games, but AMD has fully open-source drivers, at least on Linux, so it just works
18:39
Adding RX 7900 XTX to @Zoe's Christmas wishlist...
I'm not going to ugprade any time soon
Need to finish my degree, get some cash money, and then I'll upgrade, and turn this compooper into a media center or something
Buying a new Radeon Pro W7900 for @Zoe...
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact Thanks! Send it to this address :)
Loading it up on my personal delivery drone...
Oops. I didn't attach it properly. It fell down on the main road in Elgeseter street.
So far away, smh my head
18:49
Well, guess you won't be picking it up, then; whatever remains of it.
 
1 hour later…
20:09
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact perhaps you accidentally switched to wayland
@AndrasDeak--СлаваУкраїні Nope.
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact stop updating shit each day?
@AndrasDeak--СлаваУкраїні Haven't updated anything in a week.
Well, did update some stuff when I couldn't fix this.
@AndreasmovedtoCodidact my new laptop has one, and it's doing fine
oh, GPU, not CPU, nevermind
my current greatest technical woe is microsoft having fucked around with minor UI details in ms teams in annoying ways
20:54
I'm hungry.
21:05
Hi hungry
Hi, are you food?
Codidact is your new mood and confidence boost.
nej
Last time I needed to ask a question was...
June 2020
10 minutes ago,
Oops, didn't expect that changing the min_y world level yet again would mess up the world generation.
