jonaswDave Cridland, I heard you had some (internal? non-public?) client which does reactions. Would you care to give feedback to this? https://github.com/jabbercat/jabbercat/issues/80
Ge0rGTobias: HN is probably downgrading / shadowkilling upvotes from direct links, it's better to go from the main page.

pep."Markdown-like syntax" in that article. This is going to come back to bite us at some point
Ge0rGpep.: that also came on the ML recently, with the suggestion to call 393 and 394 "markdown" and "markup" respectively
ralphmhas joined
pep.Yeah I've seen that one and your comment :)
Zashcries in groff
Ge0rGI had to resist the urge to counter-propose "markleft" and "markright"
Ge0rGI think that 0394 qualifies for markleft, because it's based on tags starting with <, and 0393 is markright because it specifies > as a quoting character.

KevI use both extensively.
Zashgoes and sits in the "IRC and XMPP are fine, why would you want all that garbage?" corner.
jonaswKev, wanna agree on how to handle Emoji Reactions and do a field test?
KevZash: They both do things that are useful and XMPP doesn't do, to my eyes.
Kevjonasw: Reference.
Link MauveLast argument I heard for Discord was “it’s possible to do an audio conference at any moment, so we should migrate that in the eventuality we may want to do one someday”.
jonaswbut there are many details
Seve/SouLKev, it would be nice to know which kind of things we are missing then
KevThat's the easy answer for live messages. For non-live messages we need the server archive to understand references.
Link MauveI then proceeded to close this biboumi tab to never come back there.

jonaswKev, I argue that Message Attaching is more well-suited for emoji reactions, but feel free to weigh in if you disagree. I consider that one of the more irrelevant details though.

Ge0rGI'm also in favor of Message Attaching over References for reactions, because what jonasw said
Dave Cridlandhas left
Ge0rGI could live with a reference containing the message ID and a type='reaction', though
jonaswKev, also, my beef with references would be that it uses codepoint ranges into body but doesn’t handle multiple languages. that’s not relevant to reactions, but I expect some breakage originating from that.
Ge0rGhowever, neither XEP provides an element to put the actual reaction into
jonasw(and thus namespace bumps for things irrelevant to reactions)
Dave Cridlandhas left
jonaswGe0rG, I’d just put that as a simpling into the <message/>
jonaswGe0rG, I’d just put that as a sibling into the <message/>
Ge0rGjonasw: my point is: we need a separate reactions XEP anyway
jonaswyeah, that’s true
jonaswhm, actually, I might post some aggregated feedback on references, I am finding quite a few things I dislike about it when reading it
Kevjonasw: Give it a week or so, Edwin's sending out a major update imminently.
jonaswKev, oh-kay
jonaswKev, no wait, I’m going to send out that feedback anyways. From how I see things working usually, the major update will be delayed for some reason and then my feedback is lost, because I’ll forget about it
KevOr send it anyway and Edwin can integrate it, either way.
jonaswalso, maybe it can be incorporated into that update :)
jonaswyeah
Seve/SouLAre you just considering Reactions emoji-only things?
Zash<reaction>meh</reaction>
Ge0rGSeve/SouL: no, but emoji will be the recommended way to react.
Ge0rGSeve/SouL: the challenge is to determine how many codepoints correspond to one emoji
ZashA bunch
Zash<{reaction}meh/>
KevWhy do you need to count the codepoints in an emoji? They're the reaction, not the source
ZashDid someone suggest shoving semantics into <body>? Otherwise there shouldn't be any need for codepoint counting.
jonaswI did not.
jonaswI only want to shove fallback into <body/> :)

flowwhere is +notify specified? Is it only that single sentence in xep163?
Zashflow: might be a bit in 60 too
Kev9.2, 60.
jonaswKev, why?
ZashSpam?
flowhmm then xep163 is misleading, it tells me that appending +notify will make me receive all notifications related to the protocol that precedes the suffix
jonaswZash, if in response to the Reactions thing: people are doing that already anyways
ZashIsn't half the point of these to compress eg a ton of 👍 replies?
flowwhereas xep60 tells that that I will only receive notifications about the node whose NodeID is the prefix
ZashNo the obvious solution here is to write a message with only 'm', which triggers a bot to say "$name says +1". Now you got twice the spam.
Zash(This what actually went on in those Skype channels)
jonasw(not to mention that if we don’t have a body on the message, it will be omitted from many archives.)
jonasw(or may not be carbon-copied or something)
Kevflow: How are the nodes named in 163?
jonaswZash, I feel you’ve got quite a trauma from skype.
moparisthebesthas left
Kevjonasw: We need to update how archiving works in the world of references. And it's by archiving bare-JID.
Zashjonasw: Mmmmmmmmyeah
flowKev, xep163 doesn't really name nodes, its protocols like tune who do
jonaswZash, so, I’ve seen people in MUCs already doing the "name\n> message\nemoji" thing.
SaltyBoneshas joined
flowbut what if such protocols define multiple nodes? xep163 gives the impression that I'll get notifications for all of them by a single +notify
Zashjonasw: right

ZashMattJ: Cool story bro
Syndacehas left
ZashI'm happy with i3, in that I finally found a window manager that let switch virtual desktops separately on each monitor
ZashAnd does tabs
SamWhitedI used to use a mix of open box and xfce-wm, but stopped when I switched to i3 full time.
Seve/SouLI use KDE Plasma
SamWhitedWhat Zash said; that was the big draw for me as well.
Lancehas left
jjrhDoes it play nice with floating windows? What I always wanted was tiling for one monitor/virtual desktop and floating for others.
ZashI've been trying to switch to LuaKit for browsing, so that i3 can do the window management instead of the browser
Zashbuuuut now I'm back with a ton of firefox tabs :(
moparisthebestI still use KDE since 2006 , been meaning to try i3 though
jjrhI got a coworker still using twm
Syndacehas left
Zashjjrh: duno what qualifies as nice, but it lets you have floating windows if you want to
Seve/SouLmoparisthebest, noo, please don't leave me alone on this
jjrhI guess can I get the best of both worlds? Because some stuff like coding I want tiled but a lot of other stuff is better floating.
jjrhBecause I tried one tiling wm - umm a haskell one forget the name - and it was like "yeah you can do floating but uh don't"
moparisthebestSeve/SouL: I've tried various things and never liked them, lxdm, gnome, xfce etc, i3 is much more different though, we'll see
SamWhitedi3 will respect whatever the free desktop attribute thing is that windows can set to say "I should be floating", so most tiny windows that should be floating already are in my experience
Zashand you can write rules in the config
jjrhCan you set a workspace to be floating by default? Basically can I use i3 like I use openbox but have a few workspaces that are tiled?
ZashDuno, floating is set per window usually
ZashProbably doable with some config
jjrhI guess I should give it a go at some point.
jjrhWith the workspace per monitor - will it just make double the workspaces when you lose a display (aka undock your laptop) because that would be super rad.
ZashI'd recommend trying dwm too
j.rhas left
ZashUsed it way back before laptops, it was very nice
SaltyBoneshas left
Zashbut on laptops it's always ended with abrupt power failure due to no battery monitoring
Zashmight be better now, it's probably managed by systemd these days ..
jjrhMy pain is I have 2 monitors and I undock my laptop and not only is my laptop not 1080p so that messes stuff up - but all the windows from the two screens get crammed into one virtual desktop
goffihas left
jjrhso if i3 treats each monitor as a workspace then it should play nice with switching from 2 to 1 monitors.
Zashif your video drivers are sane enough, you'd just get all the workspaces moved onto the other monitor
SamWhitedThat seems to be what mine does; I unplug my monitor and windows remain exactly the same on whatever workspace they were on (except maybe resized a bit)
ZashThe nicest thing is being able to move entire workspaces between monitors
ZashIIRC no keybinding for it by default, but one can be set
SamWhitedAlthough I don't actually use a multi-monitor setup anymore; got an ultrawide and haven't looked back.
ZashI've mostly got an xclock on the laptops monitor :)
Zashand an xterm to mke the clock be the right shape
ralphmhas joined
Zashhttps://www.zash.se/upload/za9lYCrKESH1.png
jjrhZash, that's the problem - I want my wm to be smart enough to instead put them on a virtual desktop so everything isn't crammed together.
jjrhSo if I3 treats each monitor as a virtual desktop/workspace it should do the right thing.
ZashHm?
jjrhLike when I undock my laptop (which docked has 2 monitors) all the windows between two monitors go to one - which makes a big mess.
ZashYeah, not like most others where it's treated as a single large workspace that covers all monitors
jjrhYeah exactly - so that's awesome if that's what i3 does :)

Holgerjjrh: I used Notion (successor of Ion3) in the past, that one has full-blown support for floating vs. tiling workspaces and handles multiple displays like i3 does.
jjrhInteresting - thanks for that :)
Holgerjjrh: I also ended up with i3 though. It's the younger and easier project and way more popular these days. Compared to that, Notion feels a bit clumsy, with a somewhat complex Lua configuration; i3 has a straightforward key=value config file.
ZashI see no `=` in `bindsym $mod+Tab move workspace to output right`
HolgerWell it's straightforward at least :-)
HolgerIt's actually commands that take arguments, yes.
