| mp_en_viaje: | lobbes, oh, the bot died. is it the case it should simply be retired, this thing ? | [05:09] |
| mp_en_viaje: | http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-02-16#1958123 << pretty much said as much. honestly, from practice it seems the functionality is not really all that useful. | [05:10] |

(honestly atm lobbesbot has ~only two used commands: !Qlater-tell and !Qcalc instead of finding a new home for lobbesbot I'd rather just make another bot do those and retire the thing. But I've got other botworks in the queue) | [05:10] |

| mp_en_viaje: | talking about later tell, it seems the only practical usage actually is to annoy people : either they do read the log, in which case it's spurious, or else they don't read the log, in which case it doesn't do anything useful. | [05:14] |
| mp_en_viaje: | i also tried out a subsidiary "send notes to self on main nick" putative utility a while back, didn't actually pan out irl. | [05:15] |
| mp_en_viaje: | so i dunno, maybe we don't even want it as such ? | [05:15] |
| mp_en_viaje: | i guess as a concept it harkens back from an olden time, when people were comparatively more superficially equipped and more superficially involved today the proper avenue for making a timeline-breaching note on some topic is a comment the person's blog (and if they don't have one that'd cotextually-support the concern then "person" who ?) whereas non-timeline-breaching points obviously belong in their day's log context, as they can't be meaningf | [05:18] |
| mp_en_viaje: | ully detached from it -- so if the person doesn't read that day's log, they miss out on that day's log, necessarily including the point in question. | [05:18] |
| mp_en_viaje: | whereas the calc function seems was only ever extensively used in #eulora, for inter-player trade. | [05:21] |
| mp_en_viaje: | it seems to me it does provide a significant service for that particular use, because it permits players to show each other the bills of trade correctly. | [05:23] |
| mp_en_viaje: | i can't be arsed to drag out where in the log this point was made for ignoramus asciilifeform 's benefit, HEY, JUSTIFY PRICES LIKE CIVILISED PEOPLE, | [05:23] |
| mp_en_viaje: | but the point remains, that functionality, "you have to pay 1.76 million ~~~because this and that and so and so~~~" is the only sane way to go about things. | [05:23] |
| ossabot: | (eulora) 2018-07-22 Birdman: !Qcalc (54*.32*10*1000)+(378*.37*10*964)+(180*1.35*1000) | [05:23] |
| mp_en_viaje: | i guess maybe roll it into auctionbot or something ? | [05:23] |
| mp_en_viaje: | motherfucker this piece of shit, internet that works like schoolchildren brains, fifty minutes out of the hour. | [06:00] |
| mp_en_viaje: | needs its breaks, the poor darling/ | [06:00] |
| diana_coman: | http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2020-02-28#1958559 - I have no use for it either and precisely for this reason that it's enough if it's in the logs as far as I see it. | [07:19] |
