| 2024-04-28 22:34:17 +0200 | <monochrom> | <zoomer> Wait, isn't it the Epic ad breaking Apple? </zoomer> |
| 2024-04-28 22:34:09 +0200 | <EvanR> | On January 24, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you'll see why 1984 won't be like "1984." |
| 2024-04-28 22:33:09 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | maybe they were selling apples |
| 2024-04-28 22:33:01 +0200 | <geekosaur> | EvanR, just Apple |
| 2024-04-28 22:32:58 +0200 | <monochrom> | perhaps diamond fingernail on blackboard is even better! |
| 2024-04-28 22:32:28 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | add "drag piece of chalk under just the right angle over a blackboard" to that list |

| 2024-04-28 22:32:07 +0200 | <monochrom> | Oh oops haha great typo |
| 2024-04-28 22:31:51 +0200 | <int-e> | can't wait for the diamonad tutorial |
| 2024-04-28 22:31:42 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | diamonad, yes |

| 2024-04-28 22:31:29 +0200 | <monochrom> | Haha which one makes a worse screeching sound? bad violin student, diamonad fingernails on touch screen |
| 2024-04-28 22:30:39 +0200 | <EvanR> | or was it just apple, I don't even know what they were selling there |
| 2024-04-28 22:30:06 +0200 | <EvanR> | in the macintosh 1984 ad |
| 2024-04-28 22:30:04 +0200 | <int-e> | monochrom: diamond fingernails vs. touch screen |
| 2024-04-28 22:29:52 +0200 | <EvanR> | it was a TV that broke |
| 2024-04-28 22:29:19 +0200 | <monochrom> | "I just touched it and it shattered." |
| 2024-04-28 22:29:05 +0200 | <monochrom> | Perhaps you broke the window. :) |
| 2024-04-28 22:28:16 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | I wanted to say "touched", but I don't know what my hands did when I was a baby |
| 2024-04-28 22:27:41 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | yeah no I definitely knew the Dutch word for a transparent-glass window before I had done anything with a computer |
| 2024-04-28 22:26:56 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | :D |
| 2024-04-28 22:26:46 +0200 | <EvanR> | tomsmeding, I'm a native english speaker. But I think I learned about windows before actual windows. And before Windows(R), since macintosh came first |

| 2024-04-28 22:16:26 +0200 | <[exa]> | well, bugs, as usual |
| 2024-04-28 22:16:23 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | if it's bugs, then that's very positive |
| 2024-04-28 22:16:10 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | depends on what you eradicate, I guess |
| 2024-04-28 22:15:56 +0200 | <[exa]> | tomsmeding: literally last week I had to explain that "eradicate" in a commit message is a positive happy action |
| 2024-04-28 22:15:45 +0200 | <int-e> | mauke: yeah |
| 2024-04-28 22:15:41 +0200 | <mauke> | was that the &foo thing? |
| 2024-04-28 22:15:36 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | I suspect I learned the word "window" as referring to something on a computer screen before knowing that it referred to a silicon-esquen thing you can look through |
| 2024-04-28 22:15:23 +0200 | <yin> | it's also the only duplicated type |
| 2024-04-28 22:15:15 +0200 | <int-e> | IRC has some obscure corners (so obscure that they may not even be implemented in modern servers... server-local channels are an example) |
| 2024-04-28 22:14:52 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | I sometimes try to imagine how the tech world must sound for a native english speaker |
| 2024-04-28 22:14:28 +0200 | <yin> | that why i sometimes like chatgpt |

| 2024-04-28 22:13:49 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | yin: so that sounds surprisingly accurate, down to the ambiguity |
| 2024-04-28 22:13:28 +0200 | <[exa]> | ah c'mon we've had rooms in 28000 BC |
| 2024-04-28 22:13:26 +0200 | <yin> | i asked chatgpt to list all message types in the IRC protocol and it listed NOTICE twice: under User Communication as "send a message that does not trigger automatic responses" and under Miscellaneous as "used for various notifications and alerts" |
| 2024-04-28 22:13:24 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | fair point |
