Bug #1093
Updated by Bjoern Michaelsen about 9 years ago
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/quips.cgi?action=show has a lot of lines that are either X11-related, not-LibreOffice-related or seem to be spam. That should be cleaned up: To be cleaned IMHO: <pre> [daniels] i swear the easiest way to blow up any power supply is to give it a hostname involving .freedesktop.org and install slapd [davej] Whip me, beat me, make me clean up drivers/char/drm [zrusin] ever since they switched all the crts to lcds at work i'm not getting any tan [cworth] That patch was so embarrassingly broken in so many ways that it almost makes me regret having set up automatic GPG signing of all my mail cfb8line.c [daniels] hm, bugger, even after relibtoolize'ing it's still broken [alanc] since when has sensibility had anything to do with how X is built? [ajax] also, DO NOT COMMIT TO xc/ OR I WILL GOUGE YOUR EYES OUT WITH SPOONS [clee] THIS CORN DOG YOU GAVE ME IS GAY [ajax] THAT'S NOT HOW YOU USE IT [daniels] my next question is, 'is it worth me spending five minutes extracting it?' [Josh_B] daniels: I'll love you for the next 30 seconds [ajax] Checking for Matrix-themed hostname... Sorry, your hostname is too lame for X to work. [mharris] But this [X] goes to 11! [ajax] stop being logical [gravity] logic has no place here [daniels] THIS IS AN X DEVELOPMENT CHANNEL, DAMNIT [daniels] further mentions of logic will lead to a ban and possibly revocation of CVS access [ajax] i'm so amazingly happy that i have to work around xprint brain damage to make kdrive build [ajax] they should really just hold xdc _in_ the pub [ajax] skip the middle man [alanc] XKB = X Kitten Butcher [DrNick] please tell me the extension is actually named SE-X [DrNick] at last, something right in the world [ajax] imagine that i am holding a bong with a metrolink logo engraved on it, and inhaling deeply [daniels] i think a quake-on-xprint competition could be hilarious. that'd be a real test of skills. 'no fair, I've only got an inkjet, you LPB' [alanc] xkbdata has an obvious replacement - we can't kill Xprint until there's something to replace it as the butt of jokes and source of ire for all involved [benh] something that silently without any visible feedback makes you think your box is crashes is supposed to improve ACCESSIBILITY ? [ajax] what kind of mickey mouse OS is this anyway [alanc] what's the worst that can happen? ajax gouging your eye out with a spoon? I think that's reserved for commits to the monolith... [airlied] you don't debug 3D so much as weep uncontrollably [bug6421] If my graphics card could handle a 1.9 petahertz signal it would be doing something more exciting than driving my monitors. [sanxiyn] I thought xlibs does a lot more than just X protocol. [vorlon] yes, it also functions as a suppository [agd5f] I'll let you all in on a little secret: X could have been more secure and supported things like dynamic reconfiguration long ago, but us X devs HATE that stuff. in fact we've been actively trying to reverse the progress of windowing systems and make them more insecure [alanc, git commit] Try to capture the insanity of xtrans in a short README document [ajax] sometimes, to make an omelette, you have to kill a few people [daniels] i hacked on input for your sins. with a non-multisync monitor, it would destroy.. the.. monitor.. so- Our job here is to make sure that there are no such monitors left in the world. --Keith Packard, LCA2007 /* the new monsters ate the old ones */ - libX11/src/xkb/XKBBind.c [Amaranth] whoa, who killed the web server? [Amaranth] oh, amd docs [daniels] i'm the xkb maintainer, of course i have problems [ajax] fonts: down, not across. [ajax] libXi should be required reading for CS students [ajax] ceci n'est pas une library interface [jch] The ICCCM is a complex matter, and most tutorials you'll find on the subject are incorrect. [pjones] "xaw: I lost a bet." The X server has to be the biggest program I've ever seen that doesn't do anything for you. - Ken Thompson < alanc> <Multi_key> <!> <B><E><N><C><H><M><A><R><K> : "\u2699" U2699 # GEAR <MostAwesomeDude> Someday all the resentment will pour out in a backlash, resulting in something horrible.<airlied> MostAwesomeDude: we call it X <MostAwesomeDude> airlied: Something *else* horrible. The anti-X. <airlied> MostAwesomeDude: we call that X as well ;-) [daniels] fixing this is all part of the grand plan which will totally happen any day now [alanc] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/quips.cgi?action=show are the most interesting bits of this channel. not the useful ones though < alanc> "Eye of newt, Int of 10, let the iospace register writing begin" [dbn] Looking at the xkb code style again makes me want to drink bleach. Reviewed-by: Dan Nicholson <...> <Dr_Jakob> r normal stuff, rv lappy, rs radeon screw you. [ickle] it's good enough for the blending edge distros, might be a little too blending edge if you just want things to work. [ickle] blending? help, I need a break from gfx. [ajax] "blending edge" is my new favorite neologism <ajax> well that's the worst patch i've written today <MostAwesomeDude> ajax: The day is young; there's still more time to write bad patches. fcarrijo asking for XKB2 discussion logs < whot> godot has all the logs :) < jcristau> we'll wait, then [marnanel] programming X is like reading one of those French philosophers where afterwards you start wondering whether you really know anything for sure And remember: X Windows is to graphics hacking as roman numerals are to the square root of pi. -- xscreensaver/hacks/rd-bomb.c <mjg59> Backlight control is one of those things that you'd think would be simple, but ha ha this is computing so of course it's an utter disaster and everything is a huge mess. <ajax> what's the emoticon for "drinking heavily" ? <daniels> :tiago < pq> qotd from the xorg.conf manual: "VIDEOADAPTOR SECTION Nobody wants to say how this works. Maybe nobody knows ..." [ajax] It has been [717] days since our last workplace xfree86 <ajax> augh oh god oh god everything is terrible <whot> man, you don't really notice how useful a scroll wheel is until you break it < pq> sanity? You talk to me about sanity? HERE?? <alanc> "My name is Inigo Montoya! You six-fingered villian, prepare to... test my 11 point gesture!" <daniels> i once dreamed about debugging something in xkb, vivid memories of gdb and everything. took me 10min after i woke up to realise that it was a dream as the backtrace i vividly remembered literally made no sense and could never have occurred. pharris: Sorry, I don't normally like to swear, but this XKBing piece of XKB is just XKBed. < airlied> mlankhorst: I've had beer, so I probably need more of a commit msg and less beer < RSpliet> WHOA! that might have been the first time someone used "love" and "nv50" in one sentence, without negations <ajax> nothing involved with X should ever be unable to find a bar [@xlerb] Does this "flat design" thing mean that libXaw is now a cutting-edge GUI framework? <airlied> I just also wish we had pix11it <airlied> so when people rewrite their accel architectures they actually test the results <airlied> not looking at ickle at all < calim> heh, yes, supposedly a memory load can take 800 cycles <+ajax> memory is, like, centimeters away. <+ajax> do you have any idea how much time a centimeter is? <cwabbott> crap, TF2 doesn't know how to interface with the quantum computer i set up last week <alanc> this is X, we always think backwards - which end is the client again? [mjg59] Bored of "X is broken" stories. Yes. It's software. Have you not been paying attention?
