* raptop flips sign. And to think it had been hundreds of days since the telescope randomly died when I tried to use it
<raptop> And died in a way that is both very bad *and* not my fault
* raptop would like to know what SnoopJ does for inputting subscripts/superscripts in IRC
<SnoopJ> raptop, I use a compose key setup
<SnoopJ> <Compose>_1 gives me ₁, <Compose>^1 gives me ¹
<SnoopJ> (but .XCompose lets your write your own pretty much arbitrarily)
* raptop realizes that what I'd want would be irssi using vim digraphs o_O
<raptop> thanks
<SnoopJ> digraphs never really stuck for me, but I think there is a way to get input like that across all of X. If nothing else you could bodge it with compose, I think
<SnoopJ> probably some way you could shove it into irssi, too, but I'd rather just hack on weechat :P
* X would like to avoid being bodged with compost.
<raptop> ...or switch to weechat
<SnoopJ> !wpn X
* galois gives X a plantigrade
* raptop presses X's compose key
* X screams in Chinese.
<X> Wechat!!!!
<SnoopJ> Wiichat
<raptop> wiichat
<X> You have offended the central committee.
<X> SnoopJ: did you not get your degree yet?
<SnoopJ> no :(
* raptop gives SnoopJ a radian
<SnoopJ> 2020 was...not a good year, obviously. I think on this front I did remarkably poorly even considering the times.
<SnoopJ> There's a vague sort of intent to polish it off, but I have to admit my heart really isn't in it, even knowing full well how stupid that sounds. (Who *cares* if my heart isn't in it? Just finish/defend the bastard, it's practically done)
<SnoopJ> !wpn raptop
* galois gives raptop a degree
<SnoopJ> oh
<SnoopJ> but also yay
* raptop blinks
<raptop> I mean, long 2020 was awful for my mental health
<SnoopJ> raptop, I use a weechat plugin for emoji insertion, :cldr_short_name: turns into the corresponding emojum
<SnoopJ> oO(emojitachi)
* raptop remains bitter that ubuntu has a "built in emoji picker" that isn't compatable with native ubuntu apps. Like irssi/weechat, libreoffice, firefox, lxterm...
<SnoopJ> but I could believe that you could hijack the input system more thoroughly and actually change it to have digraph
<SnoopJ> ...or shoot, maybe someone *made* that already heh.
<SnoopJ> but also compose keys are great and the format is like braindead simple so adding stuff is nice and easy
<SnoopJ> and since it's at the level of X, you kinda get the "works in a lot of places" thing for free.
<SnoopJ> now you've got me wanting to fix mine so I can type Greek characters conveniently again
* X smirks
<SnoopJ> oops
* X works in a lot of places
<X> Okay. The only reason I have irc still is literally to make stupid comments when people mention me.
<X> So please don’t oops. >_>
<SnoopJ> It's not like you wouldn't be expecting it in a channel like this one, I suppose
<raptop> Admittedly, the probably most cross-platform way of typing greek characters is adding a greek keyboard layout
<raptop> (Not the one egg uses. The one that's basically QWERTY)
<X> O_o
<SnoopJ> I am annoyingly tempted by the ErgoDox
<SnoopJ> But I guess since I'm at long last making my foray into hardware, perhaps I should just build a keyboard.
* raptop should do that eventually, but I'm the sort of weirdo who'd want a full sized keyboard
<SnoopJ> I would probably want something about the size of my daily driver
<SnoopJ> the cool thing about the ErgoDox is that it has layers, and they're **on the board**
<SnoopJ> pretty sure it's not the only such thing on the market, but a worker has one and I've driven it just enough to know that I would find it kinda interesting to type on and probably grow quite comfortable with it, especially because I could rotate my wrists
<SnoopJ> a coworker*
<SnoopJ> (a worker probably has one too)
