07:41:26 <mc47[m]> Thank you!
07:46:03 <liskin> Solid: https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2021-October/003115.html
07:46:15 <liskin> It was indeed in the mod queue
07:46:22 <liskin> :-D
07:52:07 <Solid> liskin: :DD that's amazing
07:52:59 <Solid> and yeah, we should probably approach Tony and offer to pay for the fees via that method
07:53:37 <Solid> s/Tony/Toni/
07:53:41 <Solid> oh we don't even have to wait
07:53:44 <Solid> eyenx: ^ :)
07:55:56 <Solid> liskin: r.e. HN thread: that looks surprisingly uplifting; I'd definitely be willing to give people money in order to maintain xorg
07:57:08 <liskin> Solid: As in yourself or that we should redirect some of xmonad donations towards that?
07:57:19 dschrempf joins (~dominik@070-207.dynamic.dsl.fonira.net)
07:57:30 <liskin> (I have no idea what I think about that right now)
07:59:41 <Solid> I was speaking for myself, yes
07:59:41 × dschrempf quits (~dominik@070-207.dynamic.dsl.fonira.net) (Client Quit)
08:00:11 <Solid> though I don't have the idea of redirecting some of xmonad's donations towards the bigger goal
08:00:16 <Solid> s/have/hate/
08:09:37 <liskin> hm, I think I don't hate the idea either, I'm just somewhat concerned that doing so involves quite a lot of transaction fees and that our sponsors might not approve of that waste
08:09:59 <liskin> but then anything involving money involves a lot of fees
08:10:23 <liskin> github org to org sponsor fees are nothing compared to taxes :-D
08:10:52 gruntsplatter joins (~sogens@gateway/vpn/pia/sogens)
08:16:04 <Solid> mh you're probably right with that
08:17:34 allbery_b joins (~geekosaur@xmonad/geekosaur)
08:17:34 × geekosaur quits (~geekosaur@xmonad/geekosaur) (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by allbery_b)))
08:17:37 allbery_b is now known as geekosaur
08:40:11 <FOSSHuman[m]> I have been trying out Wayland on my hardware (Nvidia GPU) for the past couple of days and it seems Nvidia hasn't got their shit together yet with Wayland
08:40:25 <FOSSHuman[m]> I keep experiencing strange bugs in KDE Wayland etc..
08:40:28 <FOSSHuman[m]> Very annoying
08:40:39 <FOSSHuman[m]> * in KDE on Wayland etc..
08:41:04 alternateved joins (~user@staticline-31-183-149-3.toya.net.pl)
08:41:57 <FOSSHuman[m]> But I do like how Wayland works and the cool things that can be done with it, it also feels faster than Xorg when using KDE

09:19:30 liskin just sent a mail to DT
09:19:34 <liskin> almost forgot about this yesterday
09:34:39 dschrempf joins (~dominik@070-207.dynamic.dsl.fonira.net)
09:40:03 × dschrempf quits (~dominik@070-207.dynamic.dsl.fonira.net) (Quit: WeeChat 3.3)
09:45:30 <alternateved> liskin: so you did it after all
09:45:49 <alternateved> did you manage to keep a distance?
09:52:21 <liskin> alternateved: well I never said I wouldn't send the mail, I just acknowledged there might be controversy if _we_ signal boost _him_ :-)
09:52:36 <liskin> it's a bit unfair to say it this way though :-/
09:59:57 <Solid> who's to say he doesn't start a video with "so the xmonad people reached out to me and..."
10:02:09 <alternateved> liskin: yeah, I was just curious how you are going to do that
10:02:43 <alternateved> I wonder how it will go now with him : D
10:05:39 <liskin> Solid: I hope it's not _that_ controversial :-)
10:06:48 <liskin> alternateved: I just sent a mail saying we have a release and that we'd appreciate a signal boost
10:06:56 <alternateved> Oh, I see. : )
10:26:50 <Arcanus[m]> Nice

10:48:10 dschrempf joins (~dominik@070-207.dynamic.dsl.fonira.net)
11:38:43 <Solid> liskin: we should probably redo the stack configuration now so that it's actually usable for people outside of the CI again
11:41:47 <FOSSHuman[m]> Wait... Is 0.17 released???
11:42:10 <FOSSHuman[m]> I might switch back to my distros packaging version of XMonad if that's the case..
11:42:55 × alternateved quits (~user@staticline-31-183-149-3.toya.net.pl) (Ping timeout: 258 seconds)
11:43:24 <FOSSHuman[m]> nvm, I've deleted the 2 messages above this message for those on IRC
11:44:06 <FOSSHuman[m]> * this message (saying this for those, * on IRC)
11:48:26 <Solid> FOSSHuman[m]: it was released yesterday, yes :)
11:48:36 <Solid> https://xmonad.org/news/2021/10/27/xmonad-0-17-0.html
11:50:30 <FOSSHuman[m]> Solid: Very nice! I wonder when Arch upstream will be on the updated version
11:50:48 <FOSSHuman[m]> `community/xmonad 0.15-149
11:50:48 <FOSSHuman[m]> Lightweight X11 tiled window manager written in Haskell`
11:51:26 <FOSSHuman[m]> https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/xmonad/
11:51:33 <FOSSHuman[m]> Still on 0.15
11:51:34 <FOSSHuman[m]> ?
11:51:39 <geekosaur> worrisome that they didn't even pick up 0.16
11:52:05 <geekosaur> they've had 2 years
11:53:59 <liskin> geekosaur: they did: https://archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/xmonad-contrib/
11:54:04 <Solid> geekosaur: xmonad 0.15 ;)
11:54:48 <liskin> Solid: yeah it's somewhere in my todos
11:55:08 <geekosaur> I guess the core didn't change enough, yeh
11:55:17 <Solid> the core didn't have a 0.16 at all :D
11:55:54 <Solid> (we skipped that in order to have version parity again, which I personally find quite pleasing)
11:55:56 <geekosaur> oh? guess I missed that
11:56:05 <liskin> Solid: although my primary motivation was to reenable testing against released core, didn't really expect people to actually use that stack.yaml :-)
11:56:41 <Solid> liskin: I do when I pull PRs locally and want to test them
11:56:54 <Solid> it's nice not having to fuss around with making ghcid or hls behave
12:32:48 × geekosaur quits (~geekosaur@xmonad/geekosaur) (Remote host closed the connection)
12:33:08 geekosaur joins (~geekosaur@xmonad/geekosaur)
12:45:56 <liskin> I see. As long as you don't care about the resolver it probably works.
12:46:17 × qbt quits (~qbt@user/edun) (Quit: Leaving.)
12:47:31 <liskin> But then I wonder what exactly is wrong with the current stack.yaml... (I mean, not saying there's nothing, but I need to know what so that I can fix it properly)
12:55:21 <Solid> okay admittedly I do care about the resolver but it doesn't seem to work even disregarding that
12:55:24 a6a45081-2b83 joins (~aditya@pal-210-106-60.itap.purdue.edu)
12:56:06 <Solid> I get http://ix.io/3Da3 which greatly confuses me because xmonad HEAD is definitely not on that version number
12:57:01 <geekosaur> mmm, right, at some point I should update everything
12:57:27 <geekosaur> wonder how hard it'll be to move my weird statusbar setup away from DynamicLog
12:59:12 <liskin> Solid: it's because stack caches it keyed by the url
12:59:25 <liskin> So it uses the first version it's seen
13:00:20 <liskin> Good, this isn't anything unexpected, so hardcoding released versions will be fine, which is what I planned
13:02:01 <liskin> And I'll try not to touch the resolver then. I might have been tempted to bump it otherwise (for no benefit to me or the CI), so I won't :-)
13:03:16 <Solid> liskin: bump away, I'm just upgrading everything to 8.10.7 actually :)
13:05:26 <geekosaur> hrm, I'm clearly doing something wrong. just got "Already up to date" from xmonad-contrib
13:07:04 sdk joins (~sdk@user/sdk)
13:07:06 <Solid> pulling from your personal fork rather than xmonad/xmonad-contrib?
13:07:07 <geekosaur> oh right, it's pulling from mine
13:07:18 <liskin> Solid: okay :-)
13:07:52 <liskin> I wonder when, or if, 8.10 comes to Debian
13:08:01 <liskin> Anyway, siesta time

14:26:24 <sdk> Does xmonad have a binary space partitioning layout?
14:28:29 <geekosaur> https://hackage.haskell.org/package/xmonad-contrib-0.17.0/docs/XMonad-Layout-BinarySpacePartition.html
14:34:13 alternateved joins (~user@staticline-31-183-149-3.toya.net.pl)
14:35:08 <Solid> radical thought: what use does X.D.Configuring have at this point?
14:37:53 <geekosaur> not much, as long as we have the tutorial to replace it. might deprecate it with a pointer thereto
14:38:17 <geekosaur> same might go for X.D.Extending
14:39:22 <geekosaur> and at that point, might as well go all the way and promote (some variant of) X.D.Developing to top level
14:39:48 <Solid> X.D.Extending could still have its uses as supplemental material to the tutorial (explaining all the namespaces and such)
14:40:07 <Solid> X.D.Configuring still talks about the breaking change for xmonad v0.5 x)

15:18:36 qbt joins (~qbt@user/edun)
15:42:33 seschwar joins (~seschwar@user/seschwar)
15:52:12 <Solid> mh you're probably right, I started rewriting the keybinding parts of X.D.Extending and it just turned into a "how do I write my own additionalKeys", which is perhaps on the edge of belonging in X.D.Developing

18:04:41 <liskin> geekosaur: would you happen to remember if xmonad ever got updated in an existing Stackage LTS version?
18:05:53 <liskin> is that something we should ask for on the basis of a) xmonad having somewhat weird versioning; and b) xmonad not really being an end-user app rather than a library with an API worth keeping stable?
18:06:05 <liskin> s/not //
18:09:41 <geekosaur> I have no real idea since I don't use stack
18:12:02 <geekosaur> xmonad is actually in a weird place since it is in fact both end user app and library API which we do try to keep stable
18:14:16 <geekosaur> looks like they updated the LTS resolver 4 days ago, so we just missed it
18:14:36 <Solid> it usually gets updated once every two weeks or so
18:14:36 <geekosaur> xmonad 0.15, xmonad-contrib 0.16
18:24:38 <geekosaur> mm, we're also out of the nightly but that's not surprising because we have at least 9.0 build fix in 0.17
18:25:00 <geekosaur> so the question will be whether they re-add us or we need to be explicitly re-added
18:25:24 <geekosaur> (nightly uses ghc 9.0.1)
18:25:33 <geekosaur> *at least one
18:47:30 <liskin> I'm going to deal with the nightly after dinner

20:13:56 <geekosaur> people actively use it
20:14:10 <geekosaur> including with git xmonad
20:14:28 <sdk> Good. Thank you 🙂
20:47:09 <liskin> today's balance: $828.16 \o/
20:48:51 <liskin> (the reaction to the release itself has been underwhelming, though)
20:49:13 <liskin> perhaps everyone who cared switched to git already :-)
