tadzik | I bring exciting news from IRC! | 17:35:13 |
tadzik | apparently GOL does not want to manage an IRC channel anymore, so it becomes unofficial (but keeps the name) | 17:35:35 |
tadzik | and it reminded me of this channel-family and its rebranding | 17:35:49 |
tadzik | In reply to @Creak:matrix.org Ok, I got an idea for a name: LivingOnLinux It's actually a reference to a name Liam once used for a spin off GoL: LiveOnLinux. The website never saw the light of day, but at the time, I thought "living" rang better than "live". the renaming conversation started here back then | 17:36:11 |
tadzik | but it turns out that the GoL spinoff was actually called "LifeOnLinux" all along: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2017/04/announcing-a-new-fun-venture-for-me-our-sister-site-lifeonlinux/ :D | 17:36:39 |
tadzik | (that LifeOnLinux apparently lived for like a month) | 17:38:19 |
morguldir | In reply to @tadzik:tadzik.net apparently GOL does not want to manage an IRC channel anymore, so it becomes unofficial (but keeps the name) does that mean we can put the bridge back 🧌 | 17:45:13 |
tadzik | hah! | 17:45:24 |
tadzik | we maybe could if we ran one, there is no public Libera bridge that I know of | 17:45:47 |

Creak | yeah I think the issue is that IRC bridge wasn't working anymore with Libera.
Also, IRC users didn't like Matrix users, so if it's to just get people complaining that Matrix user are spamming their IRC client, I don't think it's good to mix them together. | 00:51:42 |
