Scary_Guymaybe there's a plugin?01:08
Scary_Guyhttps://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/g-hub-lite_google-tabs/?src=search try that I suppose01:11
shakes808Scary_Guy: Thank you.  I am talking with someone in the Thunderbird irc, and Google abandoned the XMPP protocol and whatever Hangouts is, is propriety now.01:13
Scary_Guyyeah, part of the reason I avoid google products.  <3 android but screw everything else they do01:14
shakes808haha01:14
Scary_Guywell, good luck in your quest01:15
shakes808quest hit a brick wall.01:15
Scary_Guytry jitsi?01:15
shakes808the hangouts app for linux doesn't run so well.  it won't run unless you open chrome.  you can't just open hangouts by itself01:16
Scary_Guysure you can, isn't it installed as an app?01:16
Scary_GuyI mean yeah, the chrome process runs too but at least there's no window01:16
shakes808yeah, but if i open it, it closes.  i have to open chrome and then hangouts will open and stay open; even when chrome is closed after the app loads01:17
Scary_GuyI run it for Signal on Chromium, works okay01:17
Scary_Guythat's weird01:17
shakes808just an inconvenience01:17
Scary_Guystill, it's a pretty large one.  when I have unclosable windows I generally move them off-screen or to another workspace01:19
Scary_Guyusing a tiling WM I basically only have another workspace as the option01:20
Scary_Guythen again with the Thunderbird option you'd need to leave that open as well which isn't much better, unless you're already doing that01:22
shakes808I have it open all the time.  sometimes i have it in another workspace, but ALT+TAB doesn't bother me.01:23
shakes808anyone using / try Unreal development in Linux01:24
Scary_Guyif your e-mail account is just gmail then I'd just leave open chrome and use that for both01:24
shakes808i have gmail, live, msn, yahoo...01:25
Scary_GuyI suppose as usual though there is no easy solution with proprietary software01:25
Scary_Guyjesus, just pick one and set up filters01:25
shakes808haha01:25
shakes808i like to keep things separate, and some are junk ( msn, yahoo )01:26
Scary_Guyhttps://10minutemail.com what is junk?01:27
shakes808haha nice01:27
Scary_Guyeven at Microcenter they're still using my old e-mail that hasn't been active since 2009.  I feel no reason to tell them and their spam just goes into some sort of dev/null01:28
shakes808haha01:29
Scary_GuyI'm surprised they don't check the bounces and auto remove it as invalid but they've never played with a full deck there01:29
shakes808That is a cool site.01:29
Scary_Guyyeah, I know :)01:29
shakes808only thing is if you need it for more than 10 mins.01:30
Scary_Guysave the address and password in that case so you can login and change it01:30
Scary_Guyjust make sure they don't send a confirmation e-mail and just a notification e-mail to the old address and you're good01:30
Scary_GuyI suppose if you want to test that you can open up a second 10minuteemail.com and switch it to that really quick01:31
Scary_Guyanything I use 10ME for though isn't anything I'm too worried about though01:32
shakes808yeah, and it looks like you can extend it if need be.01:33
shakes808not too shabby01:33
Scary_Guywell, that just makes sense01:33
cmaloneymorning01:43
Scary_Guylol01:47
Scary_Guyevening01:47
=== brousch_ is now known as brousch
Scary_Guyso, I never really noticed because I never really use it, but my insert key doesn't work, anywhere!  xev shows it functions normally and...  well shit scroll lock doesn't work either and now I'm confused as hell09:53
Scary_Guyokay insert works testing in keyboard preferences but nowhere else on the system it seems.  not in firefox, not in terminator, and if I hit it in rofi it displays "xmodmap -pke"10:18
jrwrenwhat would it do? allow you to typeover text like in dos days? AFAIK nothing supports that anywhere.14:25
* cmaloney wonders if the insert key works in gvim15:40
cmaloneyI'd try it on this keyboard but it doesn't have anything but delete as a hardware key15:40
cmaloneypgup, pddown, home and end are mapped to the cursor keys15:41
jrwrenvim has typeover mode, separate from insert mode, use r to enter it.17:37
jrwrenor rather, R17:37
jrwrenr only replaces 1 character. R enters the mode17:37
cmaloneyjrwren: Right, was more curious if the insert key itself worked.19:45
cmaloneyThat's all.19:45
cmaloneyHah, it does.19:45
cmaloneygvim: hit insert once [INSERT]19:45
cmaloneygvim: hit insert again [REPLACE]19:45
jrwrenworks eh?22:18
cmaloneyYeah22:55
