thanks for the heads up reosarevok, I'll have a look at the userscript.

What's this magical ROpdebee userscript then?

Yo! Looks like Classical Archives changed their URL format... Should I open a ticket in JIRA?

xplt: yes please, thank you!

ok, will do

done

Am I right about this? We don't typically create different releases based on matrix/runout codes unless there is some other significant difference. https://musicbrainz.org/edit/78527882

Looks the same to me... [even on Discogs]

chaban: Thanks again for the suggestions, they've all been implemented now

haven't extensively tested the sanity checks though, so if you find any that don't seem to work properly (or think of new ones) just lemme know

Hey, are all hidden tracks surrounded by square brackets? It's not listed in the release, but it has tags/title information and curious if the hidden track title should read [Track Title] or similar here

"Hidden Track" goes to "Unknown" track documentation: https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Style/Unknown_and_...

I don't think so, I think that this is for unknown titles, but clicking "Hidden Tracks" and then landing here has me questioning it

No, hidden tracks are not enclosed in brackets if they have real names. The brackets are for tracks that only have an "unofficial" names.

ty for the clarification

In your case, there are tags so that seems like an official name.

Rexodys[m]: no offence, but your IRC client sucks

whoever thought that was a reasonable way to communicate a multi-line message was insane, frankly

I suggest you either post in the Picard forum: https://community.metabrainz.org/c/picard/13

I'm on matrix

or maybe outsidecontext will help you

yeah IRC is not to blame for this :)

outsidecontext: "How can I delete a value from a multi variable? I want to make a script to standardize my genres"

It uses Discord markdown syntax like most

Well, markdown syntax haha its not discord-only 😂

Rexodys[m]: yes, your client is terrible for IRC and basically makes us who use normal clients have to click random links to see what you wrote

it's ridiculous

So question without syntax: How can I delete a value from a multi variable? I want to make a script to standardize my genres - its a jungle out there. I want to dind/replace strings of genre like "steam punk" => "steampunk"

I think someone was asking something similar a few days ago?

I didnt know you had to clink on a click but its not my clients fault, its the bridge

hahaha click on a link XDD

atj might have been me haha my memory sucks

I just checked and it was you asking about this

might have been, there are setmulti, getmulti but how the hell are you suppose to delete

Rexodys[m]: this is what we see BTW https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/music...

atj: the reason it puts multi-line messages behind a link is due to anti-message-flooding - but it's pretty annoying it does it even for two or three lines, that's really unfriendly IMO

but I can see why they did it for e.g. 10-line messages

evelyn: well, it's replacing one problem with another problem

just don't make 10 line messages?

no, it looks like one, long message on the other side

so you can paste long code snippets and stuff

so the people on the other side don't realise

but it's a message with multiple lines right?

IRC is line based, I'm guessing Matrix is message based

it's a message that is longer than a single IRC message can be ,not just mulit line message

multi*

there is a character limit in IRC, there isn't on matrix

the irc character limit is ridiculous tbh

what is it? I can't recall ever bumping into it

that's the thing

there is no way to know

it's about 450 characters

its 512 in the spec

it is dependent on the ircd

If you're typing a 450 character message then you have other problems :)

but IRCds don't care about that (as usual, imagine complying with specifications on the internet)

and that 512 *includes* protocol stuff

sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

so even if you know what the limit for a given server is you'd have to figure out how much of that is taken up by extra data that your client sends along with messages

it includes your nickname for example :)

and *then* there is IIRC nothing specified about how too long messages should be handled

sorry, I didn't mean to start a flame war, but shoehorning IRC into a completely different messaging system is just completely wrong IMO

so the ircd may split your message up or just truncate it and never tell you

blame the people who own Freenode

did my lorem ipsum go through?

Yaniel: I know IRC is not a great protocol, it's super old, but it works pretty damn well 99% of the time.

other IRC networks don't want anything to do with it - see for example https://hackint.org/archive#20181028_Matrix_Bri...

atj: fair enough, but a lot of people tend to be very vocal when they can't use their IRC client with $NEW_CHAT_SERVICE

ROpdebee the final bit appeared

from sit occ

atj: it works damn well if you are using it with the same mindset as when it was designed yes

but sadly that is completely irrelevant to 99% of people these days

ROpdebee: it got clipped in two after "Excepteur" and the 2nd part ends at "anim id est laborum."

if it ain't broken, don't fix it

Yaniel: I think 99% might be a tad high, but yes I'm old and I like simple text chat with no animated gifs for technical discussions

yeah i guess it got split into two messages somewhere down the line

posting code snippets inline & with syntax highlighting is damn useful in technical discussions though

(although they should be foldable, which I haven't seen any application do yet)

doesn't slack kind of do that? maybe only after a couple lines

and inline images are also relevant to technical discussions more often than not
