| Scary_Guy | @Mooncairn, fix your system. Keeps dis/connecting. | 17:23 |
|---|---|---|
| Mooncairn | Sorry about that. I was trying to update some settings on my IRC client that required reconnecting to the server. | 17:24 |
| Mooncairn | I have this channel and others on auto-connect as well. | 17:24 |
| Scary_Guy | I noticed :P | 17:25 |
| Mooncairn | Not sure how to get around that. | 17:26 |
| Scary_Guy | What client are you using? | 17:26 |
| Mooncairn | HexChat | 17:26 |
| Mooncairn | If I turn auto-connect off on channels, the channels just disappear from my list and I have to remember which ones to manually re-join. | 17:27 |
| Scary_Guy | There should be an easy way in the client to modify settings and save them then. I use Weechat which can be very complicated and I don't even know a tenth of what it does. | 17:27 |
| Mooncairn | HexChat's a bit special in that regard. | 17:28 |
| Mooncairn | I can't even change color themes without restarting the client. | 17:28 |
| Mooncairn | I've been meaning to migrate to something else like Weechat, but I never get around to it. | 17:29 |
| Scary_Guy | There are a few other IRC clients that are good too. HexChat is pretty old though and old software can have a way of clinging to an outdated UX. | 17:30 |
| Mooncairn | Yup. | 17:30 |
| Scary_Guy | Though, the same can be said about the IRC protocol itself I guess. | 17:30 |
| Mooncairn | It uses GTK 2.0, which doesn't respond to system-wide color changes. | 17:31 |
| Scary_Guy | Oh I HATE that | 17:31 |
| Mooncairn | It's been officially retired recently. | 17:32 |
| Mooncairn | Half a dozen people will probably fork it and none of them will get anywhere. :p | 17:32 |
| Scary_Guy | https://gitlab.com/Scary-Guy/theme_compliance HATE that | 17:33 |
| Mooncairn | I sometimes switch between light and dark mode. Prefer light mode usually, but under certain lighting conditions dark mode works better. | 17:38 |
| Scary_Guy | A lot depends on the time of day for most people too. When driving in the day, day mode is almost a necessity, otherwise the brightness needs to be way up. | 17:40 |
| Mooncairn | The really annoying thing (beside HexChat) about switching themes is switching configs on CLI tools (e.g., dircolors, bat, gitconfig, etc.). | 17:44 |
| Mooncairn | Right now I've got symlinks set up to point at different files, and I manually update the links. | 17:45 |
| Mooncairn | Been meaning to automate it, but haven't gotten around to that, either. | 17:46 |
| Scary_Guy | I wish there was a way to automate automating things. I'll be happy when AI gets there | 17:58 |
| Mooncairn | heh | 18:00 |
