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.

Wechat!!!!

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)
