[01:05:04] brothchild i gota try dis but not til tomorow probably keep us updated

[01:05:12] brothchild the theme support looks great

[01:05:51] brothchild might be possible to add a qt6 color selector to set fg and bg color of text

[01:06:22] brothchild ansi version?

[01:06:30] brothchild or irc color coded versionn

[01:06:32] brothchild or png

[01:06:34] brothchild ah ok

[01:08:01] brothchild https://x0.at/RR4S.png

[01:08:31] brothchild zceeees!

[01:08:39] brothchild :P

[01:08:54] brothchild \|o)

[01:09:23] brothchild nice, inlines!

[01:10:07] brothchild do you have configurable preview size?

[01:11:18] brothchild what hanles incoming colors ?

[01:11:45] brothchild main.cpp?

[01:12:05] brothchild i will snuffle arround that

[01:12:26] brothchild it would be fun to support extended palette with 2 ^C codes one after another

[01:12:44] brothchild i hate packaging and os integrationn

[01:27:37] brothchild can it test them in an execution framework?

[01:29:06] brothchild E: Unable to locate package qt6-quickcontrols2-dev

[01:32:23] brothchild https://x0.at/XPHw.opus EconTalk features John Allison - Chairman and CEO of BB&T Bank https://x0.at/XPHw.opus

[01:32:26] brothchild oops

[02:30:37] brothchild so are you wanting to really use quickcontrols2

[05:18:50] brothchild hey lol3

[05:19:05] brothchild does your linux have qt6-quickcontrols2

[14:38:52] brothchild good jerb

[14:39:17] brothchild qwen 3.5 explaining a meme/joke https://chat.qwen.ai/s/e6db2c31-a50a-47de-9118-746ee7f7496c?fev=0.2.9 keep repeating to yourself "It's not really AI, it's not really AI..."

[15:08:13] brothchild waant a laugh? qwen3.5 35b-a3b set to 'no thinking' asked to write a bash system monitoring script with sparkline: https://x0.at/R6m6.txt

[15:13:25] brothchild token limit would end the output mid-code

[15:13:31] brothchild this finishes up with a summary

[15:13:46] brothchild i told it not to think via llama.cpp commandline

[15:14:00] brothchild and it evaded by thinking in the code comments!

[15:15:20] brothchild I'll probably need to change the prompt but I haven't seen the new qwen get it right in any run yet

[15:15:50] brothchild see the people praising these are un-creative people, generally

[15:16:23] brothchild the training ruts etched into the llm are the same ones etched into the webmonkey coders

[15:17:43] brothchild it's still a tremendous achievement but that 3b active parameters does't build-up enough of a 'spirit' to deal with novel situations

[15:17:48] brothchild never will, imo

[15:18:39] brothchild howeve this level of reasoning combined with the 27b dense model might be the cream of the crop on 2x rtx 3090

[15:54:30] brothchild so End3r are you committed to using qt6 libraries not found in debian?

[15:55:11] brothchild it is an issue i'd investigate at this point, and not later

[15:55:28] brothchild hm

[15:55:59] brothchild then i will investigate why my repo lacks the buttons lib

[15:57:04] brothchild oh i mean i pulled my apt database recently

[16:01:05] brothchild my repos have only qtquickcontrols2-5-dev ot qt6-quickcontrols2-dev

[16:09:46] brothchild whoever at debian decided to reorganize the filesystem should be given booster shots until they stop

[16:12:27] brothchild i'm still traumatised and biased from a catastrophic rpm bug from 2000

[16:14:01] brothchild Choosing an OS is like trying to find a country to flee to

[16:23:40] brothchild E: Unable to locate package libqt6quickcontrols2-dev

[16:24:11] brothchild have to build it then

[16:27:35] brothchild it's nice how easy it is to turn on zram when things get tight

[16:28:03] brothchild someone put in the extra work to do that <3

[16:45:04] brothchild you're comparing an OS that you can modify to a toy application that you cannot modify. I don't understand what you are saying.

[16:45:46] brothchild maybe you should sell your computer and get a tablet

[16:46:31] brothchild i think you phrased that well

[16:46:47] brothchild it highlights the difference in view

[16:47:01] brothchild for me the OS is the system the operator can OPERATE

[16:47:06] brothchild and OPERATE ON

[16:49:36] brothchild yea i might just migrate this to slack packages

[16:50:10] brothchild i wonder if LLMs can contribute to OS maintennance

[17:12:35] brothchild yea

[17:17:11] brothchild and i can see why wayland said we need per-app isolation

[17:17:20] brothchild but just let me disable it

[17:18:03] brothchild i'm not versed in the historical debate though

[18:39:44] brothchild one of my t495 keycaps just broke

[18:40:38] brothchild i hope they suffer for that

[18:41:57] brothchild i'd like to revive the linux framebuffer console with utf-8

[18:43:15] brothchild what os is it running?

[18:43:36] brothchild i doubt that's a debian kernel, or is it?

[18:44:55] brothchild that's surprisingn

[18:45:56] brothchild what were some of the memory pigs you pared-down?

[18:48:33] brothchild i like this zer0s person very much

[18:50:01] brothchild thakns for lik

[18:52:51] brothchild NeXTstep ran on machines with 12-32MB iirc

[18:53:33] brothchild i think we're nuts now

[18:54:36] brothchild no person embodying anything of the spirit of engineering can be comfortable with the status-quo of IT

[18:55:28] brothchild but that ^ seem to have been true in every decade i can recall

[18:55:41] brothchild yes

[18:57:50] brothchild fun i used wordstar for years

[18:58:56] brothchild i was amazed as a kid when i was taught that it dynamically loaded code, to save memory

[18:59:03] brothchild "you can *do* that??"

[18:59:11] brothchild the joy of computing...

[19:01:45] brothchild but my muscle memory is vi, so i dont waste time exploring alternatives

[19:02:36] brothchild zer0s: if you need a unicode ansi-art splash screen for something i'm your guy

[19:04:03] brothchild yeah see with tmux i could have happy console life, if linnux frame buffer cosole did utf-8

[19:04:46] brothchild it would be my perfect first linux kernel mod

[19:05:29] brothchild but i'm only partially qualified so there's unknown unknowns

[19:07:52] brothchild brave has an 'auto-page-view' for text-heavy sites. I'd love to get the text of a link in a pop-up site column intead of a new full tab

[19:08:40] brothchild that's also a console limitation iirc

[19:10:08] brothchild braves ability to extract the revelant text and discard all the ads and junk is a genuine value-add to me

[19:10:35] brothchild zer0s: yah hmm did you see my sub-row animation ivention nfor tty games

[19:10:51] brothchild like normal tty games you can only move up and down by a full row right

[19:11:04] brothchild what if you had a termial game where you could move i subunits of a character

[19:11:21] brothchild impossible right?

[19:12:04] brothchild how would you move character sprites around a terminal screen at finer resolution than the available rows and colums...

[19:12:34] brothchild wana see?

[19:13:45] brothchild btop is actually relevant cause they use the same trick

[19:13:51] brothchild i used it first but whatev

[19:14:07] + brothchild use braille u2800-u28FF blocks as pixels

[19:15:16] + brothchild brave makes feeding the curent page to your local llm easy too

[19:25:25] + brothchild woodwose is the snake in the grass
