| jrwren | turns out that if a server isn't trying to output things to the client the client just stays connected. | 15:00 |

| cmaloney | I think there's a keep-alive for ssh | 15:06 |
| cmaloney | he said, thinking he was adding to the conversation | 15:06 |
| greg-g | :P | 15:47 |
| greg-g | last week I decided to install firefox from upstream (aka: copying a bin into my /opt) and now after some amount of time my cursor no longer reacts to hovering, as in, it doesn't go from pointer to hand when over a url. Not immediately but after a day or so. It's weird. A close/reopen of firefox fixes it but that's annoying. | 15:55 |
| greg-g | just randomly ranting here :) | 15:55 |
| greg-g | also, relatedly-sih: the topic of Chrome removing the ability of adblockers in future versions came up in our internal slack and we had one ex-googler and one ex-mozillian going back and forth about the technical reasons/limitations reasoning from very different points of view :) | 15:57 |

| cmaloney | greg-g: That had to be fascinating | 16:07 |
| greg-g | (when I typed the cursor complaint earlier things were working well (I restarted my machine last night) but as of now it is now doing the stupid behavior again, sigh) | 17:54 |
| greg-g | and I'm not observant enough to know *exactly* when it stops working | 17:54 |
| greg-g | maaaybe due to a gnome-shell notification popup? | 17:54 |
| cmaloney | Sounds like some wayland shit | 17:55 |
| cmaloney | with its X server foo | 17:56 |
| jrwren | must be kinda weird to defend your previous employers bad decision making. I'm usually pretty quick to trash Canonical ;) | 18:36 |
| jrwren | Also quick to praise them. | 18:36 |
