mp_en_viaje: !Q later tell billymg hey, you still alive ?
mp_en_viaje: !Qlater tell billymg hey, you still alive ?
mp_en_viaje: lobbes, oh, the bot died. is it the case it should simply be retired, this thing ?
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.
ossabot: Logged on 2020-02-16 13:47:23 lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2020-02-16#1958115 << the toilet vps lobbesbot is on is down again. Will see what they say. (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)
ericbot: Logged on 2020-02-16 02:44:42 mp_en_viaje: lobbes, heh your bot's down.
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.
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.
mp_en_viaje: so i dunno, maybe we don't even want it as such ?
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
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.
mp_en_viaje: whereas the calc function seems was only ever extensively used in #eulora, for inter-player trade.
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.
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,
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.
ossabot: (eulora) 2018-07-22 Birdman: !Qcalc (54*.32*10*1000)+(378*.37*10*964)+(180*1.35*1000)
mp_en_viaje: i guess maybe roll it into auctionbot or something ?
mp_en_viaje: motherfucker this piece of shit, internet that works like schoolchildren brains, fifty minutes out of the hour.
mp_en_viaje: needs its breaks, the poor darling/
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.

lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2020-02-28#1958568 << agreed on the !later tell not being that useful. And sounds like a plan; I'll have on my list to roll the !Qcalc into auctionbot and retire lobbesbot
