09:50:18 catman joins (~catman@user/catman)
10:01:54 <Solid> mh, now that we have a cool wordmark we could think about switching to it for our READMEs ( https://github.com/xmonad/xmonad#readme ) instead
10:01:58 <Solid> what do people think?
10:02:30 Solid has found this logo business to be a great procrastination oportunity :]
10:03:48 × geekosaur quits (~geekosaur@xmonad/geekosaur) (Remote host closed the connection)
10:04:08 geekosaur joins (~geekosaur@xmonad/geekosaur)
10:07:42 <compromyse> How can i get polybar on xmonad? I'm a complete beginner and have no idea
10:22:59 <yuu[m]> compromyse: use ewmh module for polybar.
10:25:33 <liskin> Solid: maybe, yeah
10:25:47 <liskin> the current README experience is suboptimal: https://store.lisk.in/tmp/2022-01-17_10-24.png
10:27:00 <davve> http://vpaste.net/Qe19I
10:27:07 <davve> thats my xmonad.hs using polybar
10:29:05 <liskin> (and I think the org logo would also benefit from having a bit of a border or something, just like the reddit logo has)
10:32:42 <Solid> mh, perhaps yeah
10:35:30 × compromyse quits (~compromys@103.195.203.117) (Quit: Client closed)
10:42:05 <liskin> https://store.lisk.in/tmp/2022-01-17_10-41.png :-/
10:47:13 <yuu[m]> do someone here who uses polybar with ewmh module has a good xmonad config for toggling fullscreen (mine happens to be buggy and often polybar shows in fullscreen)
10:48:17 <Solid> liskin: well that's not good :o is this on mobile?
10:48:26 <Solid> i assumed it would scale everything correctly ._.
10:48:37 <liskin> Solid: that's just a browser in the master pane of Tall :-)
10:48:43 <liskin> anyway, I'll fix this one
10:48:56 <liskin> but I'd like someone else to take care of the svg stuff I commented on github
10:50:48 <Solid> thanks!
10:51:04 <Solid> I have no idea about SVGs, so I wouldn't even know where to start with regrads to making things independent of the font
10:51:21 <liskin> oh :-/
10:52:04 <liskin> it's probably just an export toggle in inkscape or something, but the files look heavily hand-modified, so I don't really feel comfortable opening them in a gui editor
10:53:15 <Solid> I think it should be fine (I created the wrapped SVG by just opening xmonad-logo.svg in inkscape and that worked)
10:53:36 <liskin> did it preserve the comments?
10:53:47 <Solid> yeah it did
10:53:52 <liskin> oh, interesting
11:10:24 × humky quits (~humky@user/humky) (Ping timeout: 250 seconds)
11:12:48 <liskin> Solid: reddit moderation log tells me you uploaded a header image but I don't see a header image anywhere, even in new.reddit.com, what am i doing wrong?
11:13:07 <liskin> (the reddit icon is still the old logo)
11:18:16 <Solid> I see the new logo :o
11:18:57 <liskin> stupid reddit :-(
11:19:06 <Solid> https://i.imgur.com/TRX3uyY.png is what I see
11:19:10 <Solid> maybe I need to confirm that somehow
11:19:12 <Solid> let me check
11:20:46 <liskin> I see it in https://www.reddit.com/r/xmonad/about/edit/
11:20:58 <liskin> (which is probably old.reddit.… in here)
11:21:07 <liskin> but I haven't found a way to actually see it in the UI anywhere :-/
11:21:23 <Solid> mh I see it even in another browser (that is not logged in and blocks all js)
11:21:26 <liskin> quite possibly reddit's fault
11:22:59 <liskin> and I have no idea how to open a reddit page with a layout even remotely resembling https://i.imgur.com/TRX3uyY.png
11:23:27 <liskin> https://store.lisk.in/tmp/2022-01-17_11-23.png
11:23:34 <liskin> this is the only UI where I see the icon :-/
11:41:17 <liskin> oh, "allow subreddits to show me custom themes"
12:02:51 echoreply joins (~echoreply@45.32.163.16)
12:03:20 humky joins (~humky@user/humky)
12:09:56 × cfricke quits (~cfricke@user/cfricke) (Quit: WeeChat 3.3)
13:06:43 <HAL[m]> <liskin> "https://store.lisk.in/tmp/2022-0..." <- looks great!
13:48:36 <Solid> mh, after playing with it a bit I actually like the non-wrapped favicon a lot more
13:49:22 <Solid> it's a neat effect switch from only seeing a lambda (non-focused) to seeing the full x (focused)
13:51:09 <Solid> (plus there's something about that white box that annoys me)
13:51:50 <liskin> that probably only works with a specific colour-scheme, right?
13:52:58 <Solid> Well, assuming people don't have gastly red tabs it's more of a light mode/dark mode difference (where light mode would be ideal because you see everything all the time, but dark mode isn't actually that bad)
13:53:14 <Solid> s/gastly/ghastly/
13:54:16 <liskin> I mean the neat effect of focused/non-focused
13:54:30 <Solid> oh yeah, that's basically dark-theme only
13:54:35 <liskin> that depends on specific focused/non-focused background
13:55:17 <liskin> but then, e.g. github's favicon simply doesn't work in dark mode at all :-D
13:55:23 <geekosaur> *someone* will have them. https://xkcd.com/1172/
13:55:35 <Solid> yeah a lot of sites don't provide background for their favicons at all
13:55:41 <Solid> +s
13:56:11 <liskin> anyway, feel free to experiment with the favicon or whatever
13:56:25 <liskin> the only thing I was maybe going to do with that is add a bit of padding
13:56:39 <liskin> (which is what I'm going to do with the wrapped logo and with the org logo)
13:57:14 <liskin> although for the wrapped logo (the one used in README) there's still the question of whether to use the full wordmark or just the X
13:57:42 <Solid> I actually also noticed that the wrapped SVG _has_ padding but I was a dunce and didn't resize the page :)
13:58:00 <Solid> I would vote for the wordmark in the README (the only reason being that I really like the look of itd
14:31:37 seschwar joins (~seschwar@user/seschwar)
15:52:41 × humky quits (~humky@user/humky) (Quit: Leaving)
16:12:56 <mc47> I see the old one on reddit
16:42:31 dirtcastle joins (~dirtcastl@103.43.203.226)
16:43:29 <liskin> mc47: I think I understand what's going on with reddit
16:43:46 <liskin> mc47: you and me both were looking at the new reddit, and Solid hasn't updated it there
16:44:28 <liskin> Solid updated it for the old reddit, but my old reddit was set to dis-"allow subreddits to show me custom themes", so I wasn't seeing anything there
16:44:45 <liskin> I'll update the new reddit once I have a png with padding
16:44:52 <Solid> ah yeah, I still refuse to use the new reddit stuff (mostly because it doesn't work without js and it seems to be optimised for mobile clients :/)
16:45:25 <liskin> yeah, me too, I just additionally refuse to let other people choose how my reddit looks like :-)
16:45:34 <Solid> :)
16:45:46 <liskin> which unfortunately happens to block the subreddit logos as well
16:45:51 <liskin> I wouldn't mind that bit I think
16:57:49 <liskin> (I have a PR with the improved SVGs almost ready but need to attend the second session of the opencollective training now)
17:12:00 <Solid> do tell if you got anything useful out of that (it sort of scares me how much money we have at our disposal at this point D:)

18:13:16 <narendranath344[> <liskin> "(I have a PR with the improved..." <- What is this open collective training?
18:15:04 <geekosaur> opencollective is a FOSS fundraising organization
18:15:07 <Solid> narendranath344[: basically it's supposed to tell us how to spend the money we are getting :)
18:15:21 <narendranath344[> Ah
18:16:00 <narendranath344[> Solid: I have an idea, xmonad for wayland
18:16:08 <narendranath344[> What do you think?
18:16:22 <Solid> that's something the fundrasing page talks about yeah
18:16:31 <geekosaur> difficult but one of the things we want to do
18:16:33 <Solid> but it's more of a stretch goal, if we're being honest
18:16:42 <geekosaur> wayland makes it very difficult to replace window managers
18:17:00 <liskin> narendranath344[: https://opencollective.com/opensource/updates/training-coaching-and-workshops-for-community-leaders
18:17:47 <liskin> Solid: today's session was about spending money, I think it might be okay to send you the notes from the session
18:18:00 <liskin> there are some ideas that may be applicable
18:18:13 <Solid> liskin: that'd be great!
18:18:33 <Solid> as a sidenote: I hope OBS finds a way to spend theirs; it's... quite a lot Oo
18:19:06 <liskin> yeah I remember they mentioned this on one of the monthly community calls
18:20:12 <liskin> something about needing a reasonably robust/steady income before feeling comfortable actually telling someone they can quit their job and be paid from the project
18:20:46 <Solid> ah yeah that makes sense
18:20:49 <liskin> not really an issue for us because I'm insane (and live in Europe) and quit jobs without thinking about the future :-D
18:21:03 <liskin> (j/k)
18:21:21 <Solid> though I would suspect OBS being a large and well-known enough project to have a steady income streams for at least the next few years
18:23:27 <liskin> possibly, but they wanted some paperwork around that, like an actual sponsorship agreement/contract 2+ years into the future
18:23:49 <Solid> oh I see
18:24:08 <narendranath344[> Solid: OBS has done great job till now and I think it's big enough that a company would want to invest in their project
18:25:48 <liskin> Solid: e-mail sent
18:27:11 <liskin> out of those money spending ideas, stickers/t-shirts is probably a good idea to do given the logo change
18:27:29 <liskin> although I'm a bit confused about that being a spending thing rather than an income thing
18:27:46 <Solid> gotta spend money to make money :P
18:27:53 <liskin> probably :-)
18:27:56 <geekosaur> there is cost inb setting it up and overhead in maintaining it
18:28:25 <Solid> I was holding off buying a t-shirt until now because of the logo change
18:28:39 <Solid> but now I'm hyped for merch :)
18:28:41 <liskin> I was looking into that a couple months earlier, hoping to find someone who's well integrated with Open Collective, but it wasn't as easy as I'd hoped
18:28:45 <geekosaur> at least, if you're making money from it. (yes, we had that old tshirt but that we couldn't make money off of, it all went to the printer)
18:29:19 <liskin> yeah, there's the VAT thing, once it's a physical item there's absolutely no doubt that VAT needs to be paid
18:29:44 <liskin> and I'd rather starve than deal with that kind of stuff
18:30:01 <liskin> it might actually be a reasonable idea to pay someone to set it all up
18:30:05 <Solid> good point
18:30:33 <geekosaur> right, I actually suggested that earlier but that was what sent liskin off on his wild goose chase I think
18:30:51 <geekosaur> I was surprised opencollective didn't already have it or at least an arrangement with someone
18:31:31 <geekosaur> probably means there isn't enough profit involved since they'd want a cut too
18:31:51 <liskin> maybe it's just that the osc/github integration set too high a bar :-)
18:32:59 <liskin> I did find a couple things that worked kind of like we give them OSC's account number, they send a PDF or a piece of paper every month, we forward that to OSC, someone at OSC manually tranfers the fund to our collective, rinse and repeat every month
18:33:37 <liskin> and that's like, more trouble than it's actually worth? :-)
18:34:16 <geekosaur> dad got into screen printing for a while, the profit margins were way too small
18:34:35 <geekosaur> even building his own printing equipment
19:11:41 <Solid> liskin: I have to say I always giggle a little when consultants tell you that paying for consultants is a very good idea :P
19:15:44 <geekosaur> if we do want to look into tshirts, https://www.google.com/search?q=t+shirt+printing+fundraising has a few places to look (and at least one article about it)
19:40:22 <liskin> Solid: I've got to admit I have no emotional response to that any more
19:43:04 <liskin> the idea of paying someone to do something that might otherwise not get done is not alien to me, although I'm seriously lacking in the "finding that someone" and "trusting them" departments, so if there's any potential emotion, it'd be closer to being depressed with myself or the world in general rather than anything even remotely resembling contempt or thinking I know better :-/

19:59:56 <liskin> Solid: I decided not to bother with a PR and just pushed my svg fixes
20:00:27 <liskin> if I broke anything pls let me know or fix it; new reddit avatar and GH org avatar are also updated
20:00:34 <liskin> so the only thing left is the README
20:01:17 <liskin> oh and Twitter :-/
20:01:41 <Solid> coolio, I'll check it out

20:16:30 <Solid> liskin: mh good question; I guess since we (also) announced the contest on the website we should announce the winner there as well
20:19:54 <liskin> Solid: it's good practice to do that, yeah, but it's extra work, so… up to you :-)
20:20:06 <Solid> :)
20:20:17 <Solid> I'll write something up
20:20:26 × qbt quits (~qbt@user/edun) (Quit: Leaving.)
20:20:36 <liskin> I think I've done as much around the logo as I could have, and now it's almost getting too late to get to the trayer padding thing :-/
20:23:19 <Solid> ah don't worry about that too much; I'll push some doc fixes and merge it and you can get to it when you get to it
20:24:30 liskin thought it's a bit silly to change the API once it's merged, but if I get to it early enough…

20:25:20 <liskin> anyway, time for a break now
20:25:36 <Solid> eh, as I see it everything that's "only" in master is pretty much subject to change (that is, if we don't take 3 years for a release :>)
