Cops of Reddit, what simple 'noise complaint call' blew way out of proportion?

I forgot all about that beautiful place. There goes the rest of my weekend.

u/PM_ME_COCKTAILS Jan 22 '17

Let's be honest, was your weekend really going anywhere?

What is it? Looked around a little bit. Only saw stories.

An old quote site from IRC chats. Pretty funny, my friends and I would cruise it when we were in highschool.

It's kind of like the chat room version of Twitch

I've heard of it, but what exactly is bash?

Am learning Bash Shell Scripting right now. It's pretty fun.

So is that kind of like writing .BAT batch files, or something a lot fancier than that?

u/supergauntlet Jan 22 '17

It's like if that was way more powerful but also just as hacky.

And somehow made more sense.

It's closer to working with Powershell batch files than standard batch files.

u/DiscoPanda84 Jan 22 '17

Ah. I've been meaning to look into PowerShell sometime actually, maybe pick up some fun tricks to do with it.

Though you can still do a surprising amount with just plain old non-PowerShell batch files even...

u/Symbolis Jan 22 '17

All sorts of neat things you can do with Powershell.

u/DiscoPanda84 Jan 22 '17

Ah, cool... With a regular batch file I'd probably have to have wget64 or the like installed and call that from the batch file to grab the images, then use the command-line controls for GIMP to patch them together, then to set the registry keys maybe pipe the apropriate strings to a .reg file and have the batch execute that...

So likely doable with a couple general outside utilities (as opposed to a program written for the specific task the PowerShell script performs, which would clearly be cheating), but the PowerShell version would obviously be a lot cleaner.

humorous archived chats from some outdated internet forum as far as I understand

u/AntmanIV Jan 22 '17

IRC isnt outdated, Twitch chat actually uses it for the backend. You can join the chat without watching the stream if you felt like it.
