[17:23] <Scary_Guy> @Mooncairn, fix your system.  Keeps dis/connecting.
[17:24] <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.
[17:25] <Scary_Guy> I noticed :P
[17:26] <Mooncairn> Not sure how to get around that.
[17:26] <Scary_Guy> What client are you using?
[17:26] <Mooncairn> HexChat
[17:27] <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.
[17:28] <Mooncairn> HexChat's a bit special in that regard.
[17:28] <Mooncairn> I can't even change color themes without restarting the client.
[17:29] <Mooncairn> I've been meaning to migrate to something else like Weechat, but I never get around to it.
[17:30] <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  HexChat is pretty old though and old software can have a way of clinging to an outdated UX.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.
[17:31] <Mooncairn> It uses GTK 2.0, which doesn't respond to system-wide color changes.
[17:31] <Scary_Guy> Oh I HATE that
[17:32] <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
[17:33] <Scary_Guy> https://gitlab.com/Scary-Guy/theme_compliance HATE that
[17:38] <Mooncairn> I sometimes switch between light and dark mode. Prefer light mode usually, but under certain lighting conditions dark mode works better.
[17:40] <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.
[17:44] <Mooncairn> The really annoying thing (beside HexChat) about switching themes is switching configs on CLI tools (e.g., dircolors, bat, gitconfig, etc.).
[17:45] <Mooncairn> Right now I've got symlinks set up to point at different files, and I manually update the links.
[17:46] <Mooncairn> Been meaning to automate it, but haven't gotten around to that, either.
[17:58] <Scary_Guy> I wish there was a way to automate automating things.  I'll be happy when AI gets there
[18:00] <Mooncairn> heh
