00:02 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> I decided to take a shot at fixing #11076. So far I have this technically incorrect version:
00:02 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/749727888659447960/1080278936254156800/image.png
00:06 MTDiscord <rubenwardy> ~issue 11076
00:06 MTDiscord <Jonathon> your in a irc channel....
00:06 MTDiscord <rubenwardy> No discord bots?
00:06 MTDiscord <luatic> beep boop https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/11076
00:06 MTDiscord <rubenwardy> Display Game and World names in pause / [esc] menu
00:07 MTDiscord <rubenwardy> Thanks
00:07 MTDiscord <Jonathon> correct. because theres supposed to be the irc bot....
00:07 MTDiscord <luatic> hehe, "supposed to be"
00:07 MTDiscord <rubenwardy> Yeah, shadow bot has disappeared a few times
00:07 MTDiscord <rubenwardy> That one thing should just be done by minetestbot
00:07 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> should I move this to a different channel?
00:08 MTDiscord <luatic> no, this channel is fine
00:08 MTDiscord <luatic> if you want the IRC people to partake ;)
00:08 MTDiscord <Jonathon> ~issue 11076
00:08 rubenwardy So, are you hard coding the text "Game: Mineclone2"?
00:08 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> no
00:08 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> thats just a test
00:09 MTDiscord <Jonathon> well, ok, so the embed doesnt show up on irc, going to turn that back off
00:09 MTDiscord <Jonathon> done
00:10 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> anyway, I see game and world for sure. Any other suggestions on what I should add to it?
00:11 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/749727888659447960/1080281083674902588/image.png
00:20 rubenwardy A motivational haiku
00:20 rubenwardy Looks good though, single player/host only?
00:22 proller joined #minetest
00:27 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> I could see about making the game part work with multiplayer, but mainly single player for now
00:28 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> I got it to get the game from the menu_last_game setting atm, but that shouldnt be the official way I think.
00:29 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> and the world name it still...hard coded.
00:30 MTDiscord <PrairieWind> this is going to be a step up in learning from just the simple setting changes in my current open pull request.

08:56 lissobone Greetings, comrades.
08:56 lissobone Tovarischi.
08:57 lissobone I have recently committed several crimes against humanity.
08:58 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> o.o
08:58 lissobone Still using Discord?
08:59 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> well I could SSH into my server and connect to my bouncer via weechat but uh
09:00 lissobone Are you afraid of that?
09:02 lissobone Have you ever wanted to become a saint?
09:03 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> hmm, St. ROllerozxa...
09:03 lissobone Is it because of the people you hang around with that you are going through all this?
09:07 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> anyways the reason I'm not connected through IRC is because I can't remember how to use weechat
09:09 ROllerozxa actually...
09:12 ROllerozxa Having to switch channels by typing /buffer commands is a bit cumbersome though
09:24 appguru joined #minetest
09:37 lissobone ROllerozxa: can't remember how to use WeeChat?
09:37 lissobone That's no big problem.
09:37 lissobone You can learn how to use Emacs ERC.
09:37 lissobone ROllerozxa: Also, regarding the curbersomeness, what makes you believe that?
09:59 lebruhgamer[m] <lissobone> "Still using Discord?" <- it's called "freedom to choose platform that you use"
10:01 lebruhgamer[m] in this world, it's better for everyone use whatever they want and connect to interconnected network
10:01 lebruhgamer[m] instead of trying to force people into one centralized platform (irc) and cut off others
10:03 lebruhgamer[m] imagine if the centralized platform goes rogue (like what twitter does), of course most people are moving towards fediverse so you can use whatever (mastodon, pleroma, misskey) and still talk to each other
10:03 lissobone I never forced anyone to use specifically IRC.
10:03 lissobone There is a reason bridges exist.
10:04 lissobone However, to become a saint at the Church of Emacs, one has to use holy (wholly) Free Software.
10:05 lissobone That's one of the reasons I do not want you to use Discord.
10:05 lebruhgamer[m] > never forced anyone
10:05 lebruhgamer[m] > has to use
10:05 lebruhgamer[m] sounds contradictory
10:05 lissobone Am I forcing to use IRC?
10:06 lissobone Am I forcing you to use Free Software?
10:06 lissobone No, but you have the freedom to.
10:07 lebruhgamer[m] the way you ask other and respond implies you're forcing, even if it's indirectly
10:07 lissobone I specifically mentioned that you only have to use holy Free Software to become a saint at the Church of Emacs.
10:08 lissobone Alright, let's count this as forcing.
10:08 lissobone Is there anything else wrong?
10:09 lissobone Hold on, I understand the error in my wording.
10:09 lebruhgamer[m] that 'forcing' itself is what's wrong, if you're so into freedom
10:09 lebruhgamer[m] your freedom should not impede on someone else's freedom
10:09 lissobone I am teaching.
10:10 lissobone By your logic, teachers are forcing their knowledge onto poor students.
10:10 MTDiscord <luatic> the fun fact is that we can in fact move away from discord, provided everybody joins in
10:10 lebruhgamer[m] the way you write up above doesn't sound like teaching to me
10:11 MTDiscord <luatic> e.g. you can request a thicc data packet of all the data discord has on you, which includes all your messages
10:11 lissobone lebruhgamer[m]: What makes you think this is so?
10:11 MTDiscord <luatic> if everyone did this, the data packets could be combined to make discord obsolete
10:11 lissobone luatic: does this make Discord less of a proprietary filth?
10:11 lebruhgamer[m] lissobone: try to read back what you had written above
10:11 MTDiscord <luatic> lissobone: yesn't
10:12 MTDiscord <luatic> but I kinda regret being "locked into" Discord now, I'm slowly trying to transition to Matrix etc.
10:12 lissobone Matrix requires nonfree JS to register as of now, but aside from that everything else is fine.
10:12 lissobone lebruhgamer[m]: Are you sure that try to read back what I had written?
10:13 Megaf lissobone: What do you mean? I guess that depends on the client and server you are using?
10:13 lebruhgamer[m] yes, read it, your tone is not like teaching
10:14 MTDiscord <luatic> lissobone: Matrix is just a protocol, it doesn't require JS
10:14 MTDiscord <luatic> do you mean the Element Matrix client?
10:14 Megaf And why are you arguing over Matrix, Discord and IRC on a Minetest channel?
10:14 lissobone No, not the Element client.  To just register on a server you have to execute nonfree JS code, as far as I know.
10:15 Megaf Don't like Discord, don't use it. Don't like Matrix, don't use it, simple
10:15 lissobone Megaf: Because ROllerozxa uses Discord, and I asked him why is this so.
10:15 Megaf Though I utterly hate Discord and their TOS and I am indeed forced to use it
10:16 Megaf I am forced to used it, because their TOS says so, I'm not allowed to use other clients to talk on it, even though I could, like Pidgin and Weechat.
10:16 lebruhgamer[m] Megaf: it has always been some kind of "culture" at this point that there will always be some FOSS-zealot questioning others who use any kind of proprietary or half-proprietary software, like leave others alone
10:16 lissobone What makes you think you are forced to use it?
10:16 lissobone We don't use the term "FOSS".
10:17 Megaf And I am forced to use it, because there's a bunch of people who, for unkown reasons, will only use Discord for dev chat. Likely they are all Windows users...
10:17 lissobone Just quit Discord, like I did.
10:17 Megaf And if I want to count with their dev power, I need to use Discord
10:17 lissobone Ascend, my son.
10:17 lebruhgamer[m] lissobone: well, FLOSS, or any other words idk .. you guys always make new terms every now and then
10:17 Megaf By me, I'm happy on IRC...
10:18 lissobone lebruhgamer[m]: We don't use FLOSS either.  It's neutral between two completely different philosphies.  We say "Free Software".
10:18 Megaf Though I'm quite fond of Matrix, just couldn't find a completely decent client yet. Element is quite good, though.
10:19 lissobone Client?  Just send individual requests with curl -- the way God meant man to use the network.
10:19 lebruhgamer[m] lissobone: the thing is, someone else in the community can't use the word "free" because of the confusion in the meaning and insist on it being "libre" instead, so idk anymore with all these stuff
10:20 lissobone lebruhgamer[m]: It's acceptable to use "libre" in place of "free", as it clearly indicates the ethical context.
10:26 Megaf Anyone here still playing Minetest? I stopped a couple of years ago
10:27 lissobone What do you think?
10:28 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> Megaf: minetest, what is that? 8)
10:29 MTDiscord <MNH48> I guess many people are "modding" instead of playing Minetest nowadays
10:31 lissobone I mod because I want to play with mods that haven't been made yet.
10:33 MTDiscord <luatic> not really playing anymore
10:33 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> Imho as long as you offer a public MT server you should also regularly join it and either play for yourself or help other players...if you completely lose interest in MT you should shutdown the server or give the world to someone else
10:35 MTDiscord <IhrFussel> Just managing a MT server from the outside wouldn't make me feel confident in thinking that the server admin actually cares about their playerbase...but like I said this is just my personal opinion
10:43 Megaf Oh, I do check it, and put the NPCs back on, because people like killing them for no reason
10:44 Megaf It just feels like, most of the players have negative motivations, like braking, destroying and killing
10:56 lissobone It's fun to destroy, knowing it can be regenerated.
10:56 lissobone It's even better if you built it yourself.
11:05 Megaf In fact, I'm online right now. Replanting the public farm
11:05 Megaf people got everything from the farm without planting anything back
11:05 Megaf and they emptied the cache too...
11:06 Megaf I spent several weeks exploring world to get all berries, seeds and vegetables
11:07 lissobone Such behavior often amuses me.
11:07 lissobone It takes only a single malicious player to spoil everything.
11:08 Megaf https://i.imgur.com/pIF2I9n.png
11:08 Megaf Those are what I have in stock... No in the mood of searching for the other stuff
11:09 Megaf And all NPCs are gone

12:30 MTDiscord <GoodClover> luatic: there are also a variety of tools to download the chat log of whole discord servers, you don't need to combine people's seperate data. technically against TOS so don't do it too often…
12:31 MTDiscord <GoodClover> I do it so I can have a function search :p
12:31 MTDiscord <GoodClover> *functional
12:31 rubenwardy Megaf: 5.3.0? Do you use debian?
12:32 Megaf Eh, yeah. I could compile the client from source, but I don't see the point.
12:32 Megaf Could also use a newer version from flatpack, but can't be bothered.
12:32 Megaf Am I missing that out too much?
12:32 lissobone No, you're not missing out.
12:32 lissobone Perhaps...
12:32 rubenwardy 5.5.0 switched to our own fork of Irrlicht, contains many bugs fixes and improvement
12:33 lissobone I think that apercy's mods only support certain newer versions.
12:33 rubenwardy 5.6.0 has dynamic shadows (although you need a modernish igpu)
12:33 Megaf rubenwardy: finally forked that crap :P
12:33 rubenwardy lots of mods only support the latest couple of versions
12:33 rubenwardy Alpha sorting has been fixed, can't remember if that's in 5.6 or not
12:33 lissobone Why is it so?
12:33 Megaf Now I wish FlightGear would do the same with PLib...
12:34 lissobone You play FlightGear too?
12:34 rubenwardy 5.7-dev has a post processing pipeline now, improves tone mapping performance and there's now more fancy effects
12:34 rubenwardy https://blog.minetest.net/
12:34 rubenwardy has a lot of deets
12:34 rubenwardy oh, 5.7 also has a load of performance improvements, especially for better hardware
12:36 rubenwardy ok, fixed alpha sorting is in 5.6 stable https://blog.minetest.net/2022/08/04/5.6.0-released/
12:36 lissobone Performance improvements for BETTER hardware?
12:37 rubenwardy yeah, Minetest has historically used ancient OpenGL stuff, and doesn't make best use of the GPU. There's been some improvements that allow for better GPU communication by reducing draw calls
12:38 rubenwardy some people are getting 60FPS at 1000+ view range with nvidia GPUs

12:41 Megaf Callsign MGF87, usually flying fighters around LIPA
12:41 MTDiscord <ROllerozxa> there's also the multithreaded mapblock mesh generation now in 5.7.0-dev (mapgen is still single threaded though)
12:42 rubenwardy you can use the emerge threads to make mapgen multithreaded, introduces artifacts though

14:56 MTDiscord <kimapr> surely you can still commit them illegally
14:57 MTDiscord <kimapr> "<lissobone> I have recently committed several crimes against humanity." crimes against humanity and N?
14:58 lissobone And N what?  What value is N supposed to point at?
15:00 MTDiscord <kimapr> err, i meant [Crimes against humanity] and N,
15:01 lissobone And I don't seem to understand.
15:02 MTDiscord <kimapr> i dont either
15:03 MTDiscord <kimapr> i think you were planning to use the unprotector to commit those
15:03 lissobone I committed crimes in FlightGear which Megaf mentioned.
15:03 lissobone But I also did not fail to commit them in Minetest too.
15:04 lissobone I conducted an act of terrorism on Survival server no. 521.

16:49 MinetestBot independent56: Feb-24 17:08 UTC <DeepThgt> how did you automate the chainsaw?
16:51 independent56 !tell @DeepThgt It was rather simple. One node breaker had a chainsaw, a placer had saplings, and another node-breaker had bonemeal. Each was aimed at the same block.
16:51 MinetestBot independent56: I'll pass that on when @DeepThgt is around
16:51 independent56 !tell @DeepThgt And then i used a Mesecon blinky to execute the breakers every iteration. It worked quite well
16:51 MinetestBot independent56: yeah, yeah
