        well, given that each different website api will require custom code for accessing it, requiring a particular auth method based on oauth2 doesn't really increase the complexity much :/
      • luks
        yep
      • kepstin-work
        i mean, it would be nice to have a standard way of handling this so that you don't have to implement separate different auth libraries per api, buut yeah :/
      • luks
        I think it's not that bad actually, because it enabled providers to integrate it better with their service
      • when seeing the blog about github introducing oauth, I was surprised that they still call *that* oauth :)
      • they have some weird ways to use the auth tokens
      • but git with oauth would not be possible if it required some standard auth method
      • kepstin-work
        gmail lets you use their oauth tokens in the IMAP email protocol for authentication.
      • which is just crazy
      • but actually works, and is now integrated with gnome 3.
      • you can login once to google using oauth2 from a control panel in gnome3, and it'll setup and authenticate instant messenger, documents, calendar, email, and contacts all at once.

        except it doesn't work without evolution, which I'm definitely not going to use :/
      • kepstin-work
        what do you have against evolution?
      • kepstin-work is quite pleased with it.
      • luks
        I have no use for it
      • nikki
        heh, that was a funny thing to read pop up in the corner of my screen
      • luks
        but I'd still like to see my google calendar in gnome
      • nikki
        (completely out of context)
      • kepstin-work
        luks: they are actually working on splitting out the calendar into a separate app right now.
      • luks
        I'd really like if gnome was a framework and not insist on particular technologies
      • kepstin-work
        but all of the calendar and contacts stuff is still handled in the backend by evolution-data-server
      • luks
        I have the same problem with telepathy, which has various bugs where pidgin just works, but gnome is so tighthly integrated with it that it doesn't make sense to switch it
      • kepstin-work is still annoyed that contact merging in telepathy doesn't go all the way down.
      • (I tried to change the availability icon in the status menu with pidgin but gave up)
      • er, +to work

        That's good stuff, warp.
      • Back when I was drinking alcohol, I'd drink such stuff.

        I generally don't drink alcohol. that's the only thing which has ever got me somewhat close to being drunk.
      • nikki
        you don't drink alcohol either?
      • ruaok
        I'm guessing ocharles and I will be the only drinkers with dave not attending.
      • and ocharles only counts 1/4 of a normal drinker at that.
      • ocharles
        :P
      • it's alright, we have someone who couts as 7/4 so it all rounds out
      • warp
      • ruaok
        ocharles: DID YOU JUST CALL ME FAT???
      • ocharles whistles
      • I could just go over there and sit on you.
      • wait.
      • I just called myself fat.
      • nikki
        nah
      • I've seen ollie, you don't need to be fat to squish him :P
      • ruaok
        true dat
      • Freso
        ruaok: What's with you and being called fat lately?
      • ruaok
        its a long running joke.
      • if anyone makes any kind of reference to my statue, I accuse them of calling me fat.
      • it gets funnier as I get skinnier. :)
      • Freso
        You didn't make such a remark when nikki noted you stood out in crowds the other day... >_>
      • The other day? Last night I think it was. :p
      • nikki
        he stands out because he's tall, colourful and has unique hair
      • ruaok
        she was referring more to my color and my hair
      • Freso
        I know that. Still. It'd've been perfect. :)
      • ruaok
        It'd've?
      • nice.
      • dont let nikki catch you saying shit like that.
      • :)
      • Freso
        Haha.
      • nikki
        huh? why?
      • ruaok
        it'd've? not quite legal is it?
      • Freso
        It's a Danish-Copenhagen thing. We concatenate a lot... which I've transferred to my English.
      • ruaok
        if so, I'll use it in a blog post in the future. :)
      • Freso
        It is.
      • It's a double contraction.
      • nikki
        I don't see why not
      • ruaok
        nice try.
      • ok, next blog post.
      • nikki
        it's not exactly "standard", but I don't object :P
      • ianmcorvidae
        nikki's not much for prescriptivist crap like forbidding things, last I knew :P
      • nikki
        yeah, what ianmcorvidae said
      • ruaok
        "my grammar nazi" said it was ok!
      • Freso
        It'd => it would; would've would have; It'd've => it would have
      • nikki
        now, if you'd said "could of", I would be cringing horribly :P
      • ruaok
        Freso: I get it. and I like it.
      • Freso
        ruaok: :)

      • It's something like https://dev.twitter.com/docs/rate-limiting/1.1 that's suggested for ws/3 right?
      • kepstin
        might be something in the ws/3 spec page
      • CallerNo6 fully supports "it'd've" and has been known to use "shouldn't'e've"
      • Freso
        shouldn't'e?
      • CallerNo6 is getting on our nerves. Shouldn't'e've learned to stop spamming #mb-dev by now?
      • What does "shouldn't'e" map to? "should not ???"?

      • Now that I've succumbed and has subscribed to them with my non-mail list mail anyway...
      • kepstin
        Freso: i'd say -style, myself ;)
      • depends whether you want discussion on whether it's a good idea (style) or how to implement it (devel)
      • Freso
        Ugh.
      • Doesn't want to make style proposals. D:
      • kepstin
        hmm. I should put these rubber o-rings on my keyboard.
      • kepstin goes to find a temporary keyboard to use while he does that.
      • nikki would agree with kepstin
      • Freso sighs
      • nikki
        but you can discuss things on the style list without making formal proposals for everything :P
