weelichat has a bunch of problems still, as you might have gathered from the discussions here.

uuuh, weechat itself is cli-only. it has a bridge with which you can then use a graphical client like glowing bear.
11:00:37
shinmera
or, actually, with the ssh extension enabled you can use the basic powershell, too.

i am already connected as 'selwyn' through the irc bridge i didn't want a name clash to mess things up

though because IRC is dumb you will not be getting messages on your IRC connection that you wrote from another connection.

i tore it up last week to get at the hard drive, there are ~30 pages of literature review there that would be useful

well, this one ain't broke per se, it just sucks. got weird display scum on one one corner that I can't get rid of and the pen stopped working

re hammer and nail job -- ugh that's why I (so far) have never bought a laptop which I can't non-destructively remove the storage from

I don't wanna spend another 2k to get a new laptop already if it's only gonna last me three years

they're quite shiny and lightweight/compact but no active cooling + no maintainability AT ALL

I used to get them through a student discount programme while at ETH where prices were reduced by up to 1k, but I'm no longer eligible.

for example the organisational group for our trip to poland and GIC next week is on whatsapp
14:14:21
shinmera
it has a chokehold in many countries because they have a deal with providers to cut the fees
14:15:05
shinmera
evene if they didn't nobody wants to use sms because it lacks all the other features people have gotten used to, especially groups

yeah. not sure what I think about gov't mandating connectors like that, but thumbs up for less proprietary shit

I was thinking e.g. whether it'd prevent a new -- possibly, technically superior -- connector from being developed & deployed

also special cases like weather-sealed devices (USB-C can't really be weather-sealed properly) or tiny devices

but they just leak each others group chats anyway. and the 256 member limit is really inconvenient for them
14:18:50
selwyn
you are the government you can make your own damn app to snitch on each other with no member limit if you want

from what I read very easy, you just need to have it plugged in or tap it to a receptor depending on what it is.

Bought a new mouse for the office since the ole roccat leftover I was using pissed me off all the time. For some reason it's really bad with static electricity and just turns off when I leave the desk in the dry monhts. Gotta replug to get it back.

I don't pack a lot of clothes because I can just wash and cycle them at the hotel.

In case someone else is considering the same thing -- looks like gpg/ssh-agent can be passed through to wsl2 in a sane-ish manner; https://snapcraft.ninja/2020/07/30/gpg-ssh-keys-in-wsl2-with-yubikeys/
