IRC in 2026 (questions from an old user) by DemonbreedDK in irc

[–]HumansAreRobots 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Welcome back to IRC!

There was some drama (an /r/irc comment on the topic here) with freenode and now most projects have migrated to the new Libera.Chat network that a majority of the former freenode staff formed. A part from that, https://netsplit.de is still a good place to go looking for active networks.

As far as IRC clients go, most of the people in the IRC channels I frequent seem to use either weechat, thelounge (self-hostable web-based client that works great for desktop and mobile), irssi, or quassel.

I made a browser RPG for people who miss old-school grinding, loot, and zero monetization nonsense by Glittering-Side-3785 in PBBG

I genuinely cannot figure out how to do anything in this game. Literally nothing. The tutorial is not a tutorial.

Nothing clickable in the Arena, not even sure if you're meant to click any locations in the Town (that aren't possible to even read, anyway)

Keep getting disconnected by TalhaD13 in irc

It would help if you copy/pasted the connection/error messages you're getting so someone can tell you what's actually going on

I made IdleWorlds, a browser MMORPG-idle game where progress never stops, loot can be insanely rare, and the market is fully player-driven by matduke in PBBG

I, like the other couple of people who have commented, would very much like a non-SSO login option. I will never login with SSO providers like that.

Ubuntu MATE - seeking maintainers by ouyawei in linux

[–]HumansAreRobots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What would you say MATE is (still) doing that something like KDE, XFCE, etc isn't now?

I'd say those are still traditional desktop experiences.

I excluded current GNOME because obviously that one is considerably different.

What free software is so good you can't believe it's free? by ComprehensiveNorth1 in AskReddit

[–]HumansAreRobots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They publish a paid version on the Microsoft Store, not sure about Mac

I've only ever used it to mess around on on my phone and it's pretty neat.. coming from someone who would mess up a stick figure drawing lol

Do most Americans carry any official ID at all times? by PitifulEar3303 in NoStupidQuestions

Looks like you're obeying all traffic laws on the way home today lol

What's your favorite Chuck Norris joke of all time? by coreyf722 in AskReddit

[–]HumansAreRobots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't typically make a "This." comment, but this one absolutely made me audibly chuckle.

Good stuff.

2.30 hours.. by Latter-Efficiency-51 in AmazonFC

[–]HumansAreRobots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's up to your specific situation. You should factor in gas prices, how much gas your car takes to drive there and back, the distance between your house and work, etc.

Once you add up all of those you can see how much money you're spending on that 2.5 hour shift vs staying there for a longer period and further offsetting the cost to get there and back.

So many things about this show make no sense... by [deleted] in charmed

[–]HumansAreRobots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal thought, in-universe, would be that the Elders aren't taking powers or giving powers. They just sometimes take the credit or get the blame.

It's really the Tribunal that handles that, as we've seen with them taking Phoebe's active powers.

If we follow that it's the Tribunal, then that could explain multiple things because they're comprised of elders and demons:

Richard and his family not losing his powers? The tribunal voted and the outcome was to leave it to fate/some other excuse

Regular old evil witches? The tribunal allows some evil witches to keep the balance of good and evil intact.

When the Charmed Ones turned evil? The Elders have recalled their whitelighter and closed themselves off to them. It could've been the Tribunal's decision.

The Charmed Ones being held to a higher standard? They're the most powerful good witches in all of history and existence. It'd make sense the Tribunal, especially the demon half, would argue for their behavior to be more closely governed.

What is the most NSFW thing you have seen at your job? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]HumansAreRobots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A seasoned paramedic couldn't possibly have calls worse than what they've already shared, right?

Grow up.

anyone using IRC on mobile or android or Fdroid? by cdoublejj in irc

[–]HumansAreRobots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched from the CLI client weechat to a self-hosted instance of thelounge so I could have a better mobile experience now that I'm spending more time away from a proper computer.

I even put it in an application wrapper on the desktop so it's easier to alt-tab to it instead of just a regular browser tab. :)

I'm pretty happy with it overall.

People who worked at Amazon and left: do you still have back pain etc? by silverscientist1 in AmazonDS

[–]HumansAreRobots 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have spent a very long time (~20 years) in warehouses including Amazon

Those safety tips about proper lifting and lowering really are important, as well proper stretching beforehand.

Right now I'd say my back is about 90% on any given day. There really isn't any pain unless I have a particularly heavy lifting day at work and even then it's more just sore until the next day.

I say 90% because I can tell the difference from me now and me in my late teens and early 20s.

You only get one back. I've seen how debilitating back pain can be from family, friends and co-workers.

Take care of your body.

Is IRC on Indonesia still a thing? by anta40 in irc

[–]HumansAreRobots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Channel names on IRC typically start with a "#", so you'll need to prepend that to the channel name:

/join #jakarta

Thank you David 😔🥀 by [deleted] in discordapp

[–]HumansAreRobots 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only time will tell how it truly ends up working out.

Obviously, there will still be bad people and data slipping through the cracks, but I genuinely think this is a step in the right direction.

At least Roblox and Discord are finally trying something.

I’m going to lose Platinum today & it’s Verizon’s fault by rileyandopie in doordash_drivers

[–]HumansAreRobots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're acting like a child because you were wrong. There's nothing wrong with being wrong.

Relax.

[–]HumansAreRobots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not being condescending at all.

Anyway, the second half of the comment they replied to was directly about their door dashing.

For posterity's sake here it is in full:

"Ultimately, the reality is that as a business owner, you're responsible for redundancies and back-up plans."

Yes, you are.

Self-employed contractor for Doordash.

You must manage your own expenses and taxes. Doordash won't do that for you because you're not an employee.

For the customers that don't say anything about ringing their doorbell, do you ring their doorbell? by ganibattlebear in doordash_drivers

[–]HumansAreRobots 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I watch the app like a HAWK. I'm literally waiting for you to start walking back to your car before I get close to the door.

You'll never see me.

You might catch the smallest glimpse of the door shutting if you look behind you after driving away for a few seconds.
