@kravietz @UT3UMS My biggest gripe with other archives out there was that they were just dumps of raw data.There have been efforts such as https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/Usenet, which redirects you to https://github.com/ZoeB/arcmesg for the tools, and there you can read that, uh oh, charsets are hard, let's just treat everything as ASCII and hope it works!Which is basically a giant WTF, especially obvious if you've ever had to deal with the myriad of coding standards combined with a multitude of broken readers.

@kravietz @UT3UMS What's out there is a random garbage pile of messages that no one has ever looked at. For example, you download a zip with a group, but some of the messages in it are from some unrelated groups.These are random scraping runs that someone did, they'll have holes at random times, and there's a high chance that they'll be garbled, in some cases multiple times.

@kravietz @UT3UMS A few years ago, I went to the archive team's IRC to tell them that my tools were out there, ready to be used, but they were only interested if I had some sort of new source of Usenet messages for them.FWIW, the Google Groups source is now useless because they have disabled the AJAX crawling endpoint that provided the original messages with headers and stuff. All you can get from them now is an HTML view of the message, not the raw data.

@kravietz @UT3UMS Spam is everywhere, but you won't see it in my archives because I am actively filtering it.There is some new Vietnamese (I think?) spam on pl.soc.polityka, and I had not caught it, so you can see how bad it can look. Note that this is already filtered against the usual "instruction manuals" or "pamela and brad sex tapes" crap.

@TTimo @dotstdy It stays in the build history, though.

The ability to set application icons in the KDE Wayland session is planned for 6.2. Well, I guess I'll have to wait a bit before I can implement Doom in the application icon.https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/5680

Surely, even 4chan goons can't be that stupid? What was the expectation here?https://github.com/wolfpld/tracy/pull/877

Yesterday I wanted to check on the progress of HDR on Linux, but I got sidetracked into a clown show instead.https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/merge_requests/6212Paraphrasing:- "GTK only supports one compositor"- "This accepted Wayland protocol doesn't fit with our view of what Wayland is"- "It would require adding things we already have and use"- "I don't see the mouse cursor constantly being inconsistent as a problem"- "I will be dismissive in a smug way that doesn't break any rules, because I can"

@YaLTeR The "create some bullshit in a random repo" option is top notch.And I know it does something else, but I refuse to read it in any other way.

@YaLTeR Thinking more about their examples, it's so fucking stupid what they show. "Latest X release" or "Open issues in Y" can be handled by regexes. But they feel the need to force the statistical word salad machine to do it? Yes, I want my queries to be completely but subtly wrong on random occasions.

There's a Polish meme about sci-fi written by Lem vs sci-fi written by Bioware. I don't think it is a known meme. It should be a known meme.

@floooh @aras Win11 gets worse the longer you run it. Somehow the UI problems are mostly hidden on a fresh install.You will get alt-tab randomly getting stuck. The system tray switches will randomly not work. Or will work only with a significant lag. Night shift will get stuck. And many more I can't remember anymore.Then there's the usual Windows stuff: everything fs-related is *slow* (it actually *is* twice faster on Linux). Something is constantly running in the background. And so on.

@amonakov @wolf480pl Better, because much easier to shoot down. With << chaining you get some people citing books, demanding explanations, and generally wasting your time.

@amonakov @wolf480pl My favourite shit argument is that iostream is C++, and printf is C, therefore it's deprecated and obsolete.This really shows you who have actually read the standard, where printf is used numerous times in various examples thorough the whole text, and (in C++20) 16.5.1.2 clearly states that "The facilities of the C standard library are provided in the additional headers shown in Table 22."
