I'm using element. Any way to see what got chatted since the other day when I was in here?
-
CraigParker[m]
I'm looking for a way to use Owl in the mail client like I do Thunderbird, or somehow hook the client up to an office 365 account. It chokes out on regular IMAP.
-
njsg
CraigParker[m]: no idea about element but there's a logbot on the web, let me see
-
njsg
-
njsg
CraigParker[m]: Owl?
-
njsg
some webextension to interact with Exchange? MFA?
-
CraigParker[m]
Yes
-
njsg
ok, hopefully somebody else will know more about this; there's also a person seeking advice regarding Exchange (or was it 365) integration in M&N in the newsgroup.

Is that a mailing list?
-
CraigParker[m]
It may be moot. I've got some issues with KDE desktop, and if I go with Mate or GNOME, I can use Evolution for office365 mail. I noticed a few hiccups with the browser too though, where sites would say "Sorry, Bub. Browser no worky." I always though it was just firefox bundled with other stuff. No?
-
njsg
CraigParker[m]: no, newsgroup, the previous one actually was bridged with a mailing list but now the list is separate (there is one, but most of the traffic is in the newsgroup)
-
njsg
the current newsgroup is in the USENET hierarchy, the news.aioe.org news server for example can be used to read and post to it using Mail & News
-
njsg
CraigParker[m]: it lacks some features newest firefox has, that sometimes is the problem. Other times, the problem is sites which don't see exactly what they want in the User-Agent string and decide it's a bad browser.
-
njsg
And sometimes it's sites hosted by CloudFlare...
-
njsg
it can help to see the javascript error console, that may have an error message helps identifying what's going wrong with a specific page
-
tomman
ah, Clownflare's "we're checking your browser to see if you exist"
-
tomman
also, every single website linking to browsehappy
-
tomman
"your browser is old, upgrade"
-
tomman
no, my browser is not old, your choices of webtech are just terrible
-
CraigParker[m]
@njsg Which mailing list had the office 365 question?
-
NewTobinParadigm
-
CraigParker[m]
Hmmm. I thought I was going overboard for wanting three. I guess I'm golden.
-
CraigParker[m]
My biggest problem (literally) is wanting to see MySQL query results on one screen, at a font size I can read.
-
NewTobinParadigm
one is hooked up to the craptop
-
NewTobinParadigm
it runs the irc client and IM client
-
njsg
CraigParker[m]: alt.comp.software.seamonkey on USENET, for example via aioe:
news://news.aioe.org/alt.comp.software.seamonkey
-
njsg
The subject is "Office365 calendars in Lightning w/OAuth"

(look at the rendering issue with numbered lists there!)
-
tomman
apparently it uses some newfangled property, inset
-
tomman
(but why the numbers overlap the list items even without "inset"?)
-
tomman
all I see there is junk for advertising, designers, art school dropouts, and artists that have been smoking extra strong stuff
-
tomman
But hey, anything that lessens the dependency on JavaScript vomit and CSS preprocessors is not THAT bad
-
tomman
still, colored fonts?!
-
NewTobinParadigm
the ONLY reason I could see for the list item marker wanting to be behind the list item for some easily to accomplish stylistic effect but wtf man
-
NewTobinParadigm
also know what else chrome does?
-
tomman
also, the colorspace stuff is something that would belong to a OS
-
tomman
not to a browser
-
NewTobinParadigm
it will quirk lists with no ul or ol
-
NewTobinParadigm
defaulting to ol i believe
-
NewTobinParadigm
but the browser IS your OS
-
NewTobinParadigm
or will be eventually
-
tomman
so much color management crapola that only a Photoshop addict on a Mac would appreciate
-
tomman
this screams "brand designer" everywhere
-
NewTobinParadigm
well those are the die hard commies that populated the UX team after 3.0 launched resulting in places and several other shitty changes in the 1.9.2 line and from 2.0 onward have been ruining everything on every level
-
tomman
To be fair, some of the new shinies there are not all Chromeisms
-
tomman
some are only supported by Firefox, and some only exists on Apple toys
-
NewTobinParadigm
even if they aren't i betcha they are
-
NewTobinParadigm
except for legacy shit and jumping the gun
-
NewTobinParadigm
that is
-
tomman
also the whole web.dev site looks all screwy on our NOT CHROME™ browsers because of course Google runs it
-
NewTobinParadigm
our spectrum of not-chrome web clients
-
NewTobinParadigm
tomman
-
NewTobinParadigm
;)
-
tomman
it is like webdevs would love using Photoshop, not web browsers
-
NewTobinParadigm
photoshop webapp
-
tomman
wait, didn't Macromedia tried to pioneer using graphic editors as webpage designers like 30 years ago?
-
NewTobinParadigm
that is the end goal for some i am sure
-
tomman
Ah yeah, Fireworks!
-
NewTobinParadigm
i fuckin loved macromedia
-
NewTobinParadigm
such innovation and creativity
-
NewTobinParadigm
all snuffed out when adobe nabbed them
-
NewTobinParadigm
just like with nullsoft
-
tomman
Flash indeed went to hell and became a bloaty pig well after Adobe assimilated it
-
NewTobinParadigm
what advancements has winamp, shoutcast, or ground breaking feature in nsis
-
NewTobinParadigm
the ONLY good adobe macromedia product was the series just after which the only thing adobe about it was the adobe logo showing they owned it.. but even that is debatable cause fuckin Flash 5 forever
-
NewTobinParadigm
Flash 5 was the best Flash
-
njsg
tomman: what's with that page, it wants a very wide window to render?
-
njsg
text's split in half vertically, right to a huge blank left margin
-
tomman
njsg: it's modern webdev in a nutshell
-
tomman
you're supposed to read it from a cellphone, while high
