@ultimape @djsundog same lol

language and math seem to have this weird intersection that is worth exploring

@djsundog i mean, hacker as in the jargon file sense of the word, just making cool stuff. not hacker as in someone who breaks into things, but infosec does seem like a neat field i have no idea how to get into (still)

i wish i could get away with just having "hacker" as my job title

@Trev they shot first :(

it's weird. apparently coupons on alcohol are illegal, but not coupons on tobacco.

i know this because i am reading a sticker on a convenience store door stating they accept coupons for smokes

I'm doomed.

@srn i guess. but you had to think to do that, and you can't reply to anything without going to their website?

I wonder how @gewt is doing... haven't seen her in forever.

@srn only the people on assigned to the PR thread get notified of it through email, and you can't take a local copy of all communications from github to look at offline and buffer responses to

@Concerned_Commy literally me

@srn idk, i don't like how hard it is to find issues/PRs in the github ui, and think an email client could do that better if it could pull in everything. also you don't have to sign up for anything else to send in drive-by patches if you can just email in diffs :)

this model seems like it would work great for a project with contributors from many different places and going many different directions, i.e. not all working for one company

haven't we all seen a project that works like that very close to here? 🤔

Why kernel development still uses email (2016) https://lwn.net/Articles/702177/

good argument especially about how email is more accessible than other ways of sending in patches. maybe more projects should pick it up

@dotUser @KS @Lyskar sorry. i was frustrated about something else and kind of lost it all over you, and that was crappy to do. ._.; but it's been a touchy thing. i think i actually have you added in my friends list on discord, so we can talk there.

yes, on the closed source thing that doesn't even make any promises :v

@KS @dotUser @Lyskar i don't judge all that to be worth, y'know, stickers. which has been the only reason *to* use telegram that i have ever heard from anybody when i have asked.

@Lyskar @dotUser @KS i just do not trust telegram and think it's a piece of garbage with some mystery-meat encryption and trying to give itself the appearance of open source but they only opened the client and it's so bad nobody even wants it anyway.

*and* it has the gall to demand your telephone number and grab your contacts by default unless you do that OS-level disallow, and who knows where the fuck that's going?
