[00:15:59] Bears closer resemblance to minecraft if anything [00:38:38] https://qualitipedia.miraheze.org/w/index.php?title=Requests_for_Comment/Banning_the_phrase_%22depending_on_your_view%22&diff=next&oldid=4718 I have closed this RfC as invalid, and made this comment beforehand: https://qualitipedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Diff/4714 [00:38:39] [url] Difference between revisions of "Requests for Comment/Banning the phrase "depending on your view"" - Qualitipedia | qualitipedia.miraheze.org [00:38:40] [url] Difference between revisions of "Requests for Comment/Banning the phrase "depending on your view"" - Qualitipedia | qualitipedia.miraheze.org [00:55:59] On principle I believe the RfC could have probably gone on a bit longer despite a poor appearing outcome, but again anticipating the likely outcome it was a reasonable call. I like it more than the other closure before it. [00:56:48] The user has actually withdrew their request in the form of them regretting even making the RfC in the first place. [00:58:14] If there was more in the way of discussion or support I believe an idea has the right to persist regardless of the original creator's intentions, although in this case the expressed support was extremely weak and only one other person, and 1v4 is not good odds given it's been running for roughly a week. [00:58:50] And I do stand strongly by my in-proposal sentiment that banning particular phrases, particularly an innocuous one is a completely ineffectual way to fix problems. [01:04:39] Yeah, in other words, the next time I see something like this occur, I'll keep them up for roughly 8 to 13 days (if necessary). [01:05:07] At those odds just a good week is probably enough to call it, especially if it's a request of that nature that is dubious to implement [01:06:16] To be fair, that RfC was less likely (leaning towards unlikely) to pass anyway. [01:07:37] Naturally, as noted above. [01:46:31] I have joined Tux [01:46:34] I think [01:47:11] Welcome :Tux: [01:47:16] :thinkingcp: [01:47:38] I have no idea how to turn my laptop into a Linux machine [01:47:50] So I’m using a virtual machine running Debian [01:48:05] Cuz Ubuntu wants to eat all my existing ram [01:49:15] Amazing [01:49:15] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/909258642673524796/282A098D-C39D-431A-A8AC-77E5E9648F01.jpg [01:51:17] Just flash a USB with the ISO, plug it into your computer, boot into the USB and viola [01:51:27] Le Linux [01:51:47] Laptops can be a pain in the ass to convert tbh, not unlike all in one pcs depending on manufacturer and components; it may work perfect, not all bits may work or it may require special solutions [01:51:57] But a relatively common laptop from a known name should do fine [01:53:43] It's wonderful when you install Linux on a laptop and then realize your WiFi driver is proprietary and thus not bundled into the core OS and so you have no WiFi access :P [01:54:17] Ah, so that’s prob the issue I’m running into [01:54:50] Just download the WiFi drivers beforehand and run the installer once the OS is installed [01:55:00] That or you can find an Ethernet cable and plug your computer in [01:55:27] With all these internet issues I’m having, Ethernet is prob the best solution [01:57:04] Ethernet ftw [01:59:32] I've always wondered what does "ftw" mean lol [01:59:47] For the win I think [01:59:54] Ah [02:01:24] Yeah, basically saying you favor one thing [02:01:52] Hotel wondering who FBI van is [02:02:20] I name my devices the weirdest things [02:04:21] Oml [02:04:27] Debian failed to update [02:05:03] cry [02:09:02] I love mediawiki s installation guide. You’ll need: MediaWiki (current stable version is 1.36.2) Ya don’t say... [02:12:45] Smart MediaWiki [02:18:09] Smart :) [09:53:32] You'd be surprised.. [11:36:12] @Reception123 Do you have a moment to respond to DMs on both on IRC and Discord if you get a chance to read them? [11:36:27] darkmatterman450: yes yes I was just going to get to that [11:36:43] @Reception123 Ah, I see. [18:52:01] Can’t install Linux just yet, but I might get an upgrade sinister face here [18:54:06] But in the mean time, installing mw on my computer [18:58:44] Don’t tell me... [19:14:24] I can't say updates are a huge problem in the bigger picture though, there are relatively easy and only somewhat time consuming ways to stop them completely and then accept them when you want to [19:14:39] As long as you're not lazy and keep them in permanently off, it's also relatively safe from a practical security standpoint [19:15:36] And I don't just mean deferring with in-windows tools (though you can and should go the full distance with that), but actually stopping it from having any automatic effect so it cannot possibly do things without being intrusive beyond their proven reach. [19:16:38] To that end and if you don't have awareness of how to do these things yourself, OOShutup10 and Winaero Tweaker are very useful tools to keep a grip on Windows 10 behavior. [19:21:24] Motherfu- [19:21:38] 99% done with moving files and of course [19:21:49] Windows does the thing it does best [19:21:55] Blue screening [19:22:18] Oh good [19:37:15] bruh [19:47:14] You could pay $5-$10 a month for a vps [19:58:20] is there more documentation to the REST API of MW? [19:58:37] I'm trying to see if I can use cargoqueries with it [19:58:50] (rest queries are so much faster) [19:59:35] oh nevermind, I found it, it was literally on a box on the page i thought it was the toc for some reason
