Status: compiling X I guess....
..why?
Apparently that's a critical step in compiling the x11rdp module for Xorg. Hopefully now that's it's done and stuff I'll never have to do that again.Well, until the next Xorg update I guess...
Anyways, got the important things working! Now I can run two wyse terminals off of this five-year-old laptop running Lubuntu latest, effectively giving me three computers good enough to use a simple website!.

"<user> didn't tweet yet" - twitter doesn't know the difference between having zero tweets and never having tweeted.

Would you prefer it said "didn't make a tweet that is still undeleted yet"?

@ben_lubar it could say has no tweets, or have zero tweets. the current message is a bad assumption

STATUS Back on facefuck a week and the neurotic like monkeys have settled in again. I think its time to part ways again.
I mentioned this to my sister who lives there and she was annoyed. Apparently she likes my neurotic updates. She doesn't hear from me often enough.
A: Why don't you like them?
B: WELL WHY DONT YOU TAKE MY CALLS OR RESPOND TO MY TEXTS YOU DOZY BITCH.

A new build of Xaw?!
OTOH,
executing libtool hack commands
amuses me. Not as much asnuking libtool from orbit
would, but even so.

Naw, x11rdp, though I'm not sure if Xorg 4.7 is "new" or not (it didn't give a choice or matched up the actually installed version in any way, the source tars were downloaded from the developer's mirror, so
I'm sure building an entire subsystem just for one module is probably unnecessary, but the guy probably thought "eh, :work: to figure out what's actually needed" and just said, "fuck it, download everything!" And so there we have it."
Oh, that reminds me...
It works! It's pretty janky with the ~300MHz processor and 100 MB/s connection, but it's fine for getting to the registration website and that's all we really need!

Status: Trying to scroll the sidebar, my screen suddenly went haywire. My phone sometimes decides to detect an attempt to scroll as a touch, instead. Apparently in this case it registered a tap on the "desktop" option. That may be useful on a large tablet, but on a smallish phone, not so much. I now know how to change it back, but it took an embarrassingly long time to discover that the only way to get to that setting is to scroll sideways, then keep scrolling, then scroll some more; only a tiny bit of the icon bar is visible, and it takes a lot of scrolling to get to the avatar icon.

@Tsaukpaetra Yes, I found a TriWinder (?) (EDIT: oh it's a brand of kite) and a TMNT bucket, a Mickey Santa, the gumball machine and the hairbrush.
Did I win your hidden item game yet?

Well you certainly won an upvote! Were you expecting prizes? I have those too if you want...
-
@Tsaukpaetra I'm up to $3/month on Patreon, so you see I'm already getting fabulous prizes.
I actually wouldn't mind having a gumball machine, a genuine one and not those stupid toy ones that are easy to find at department stores. Yours looks pretty genuine.

Well it could be using Left-Pad for all that it matters to me. The thing I'm concerned with is x11rdp, everything else (all 220-odd things) I don't care about so long as I get that one thing.

@ben_lubar I was informed that when I delete a chat room it get deleted for the other person too. I didn't test it myself, but that's not intuitive. I think the normal behavior is what whatsapp do, where when I delete a chat from my view it still is available to the other participants.

That's weird, because I have a chat from you that you left.
Have you been deleting individual chat messages and wondering why deleting them deletes them?
-
@ben_lubar I don't remember deleting individual messages from a chat with this person, maybe there was confusion involved.

Status: editing a animated slideshow with sound over the Internet. Surprised at the responsiveness of the connection. Not surprised PowerPoint is choking on 511 slides of 8 MP pictures...
Edit: Surprisingly, this only managed to spring up to 7% average CPU usage in the Remote Desktop Gateway I was using for this purpose.
Though... How much processing does being an endpoint bridge really need? Was it the encryption? Now I'm wondering...

@blakeyrat have you seen what happens when they add piss to shit?
Microsoft's RDP client for Mac is fucking terrible.
Huh? I like the OSX version of RDP better than the Windows version. You have to get the one from the app store though. The one that comes bundled with Office for Mac is complete shit. The app store version is great, especially when paired with the OSX implementation of virtual desktops.

WTF? I guess it got blocked already because a shitty, low-fi, 30 second clip of music might cause PIRACY BILLIONS DOLLARS!

ComicCon-esque convention (gaming, pop culture, online media, etc).
