[01:50:59] After realizing I've been trying for 2 mins to photoshop lint off my monitor: [01:51:29] Definitely break time. [04:15:31] ive just spent the past couple of hours teaching someone how to open the program files folder on their pc, i think i've hit a new low [04:15:43] i thought they must be either very young or very old but it turns out they're 14 [06:19:22] smartphones spiked computer illiteracy, and it seems like not many people possess computers/laptops like in 2000s? [06:21:02] the user wanted help with genshin impact private servers [06:21:13] which require a pc and functional internet connection [10:08:38] bruh [12:37:00] I was like 10 or 11 when I figured out how to get to Program Files. [13:51:58] i didn't own a computer until i was 11 so [13:53:41] same [13:54:34] This was with the computers at the school I went to, haha… [13:54:46] I did have a computer at home, though. [13:55:07] Dad used it for work, but when he wasn't at home, I spent most of my time playing games and not doing my homework until before bedtime XD [15:27:11] +1 on this kind of relationship to computing growing up, but fully understand that everyone is on a different timeline for their 'how to compute' journey. [15:36:12] [ANNOUNCEMENT] Goodbye [15:47:56] [1/2] @Adenin Konas Saw your question in #general; the UK has agency/zero hour/bank contracts as well as salaried work [15:47:56] [2/2] https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/zero-hours-contracts-guidance-for-employers/zero-hours-contracts-guidance-for-employers [15:50:13] always important to check the contract to see what the working hours are; a lot of salaried roles are 40/37.5hrs etc [15:52:40] a lot of entry level/low skill jobs in the UK are zero hour; companies like to outsource hiring to agencies for things like factory work, logistics, some service roles [15:53:44] Ok [15:53:51] Thank you [15:58:47] those sorts of roles can be if you're young, fit, ok with flexible hours/studying/etc but they tend to be seen as a bit exploitative because for a lot of workers from different countries, or in some industries, they're the only choice [16:35:22] [1/4] @Canary21 i thought maybe is better to talk here if i'm going to talk about my wiki or yours. [16:35:22] [2/4] Mine is called "the bestiary of Golden Hipogriff". [16:35:22] [3/4] The topics are Worldbuilding, fantasy, science fiction, classical mythology and modern times creatures [16:35:23] [4/4] What is yours? [16:38:55] backrooms wiki [16:38:59] it's about the backrooms [16:39:27] Hi Surfshack. That one has a lot of audience [16:39:42] people seems to love the Backrooms [16:50:14] i never really work on it though [16:59:35] basically an offshoot of tfoe wiki [16:59:48] the miraheze port of spanish tfoe wiki [16:59:49] it's dead af [17:00:04] my friends made another offshoot recently but of the main tfoe wiki [17:00:18] https://conmapping.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page [17:00:26] https://thefutureofeuropes.fandom.com/wiki/TheFutureOfEuropes_Wiki [17:01:18] it's meant to be abt mapping (fictional story-telling using countries in a map) but de facto it's basically a worldbuilding/fictional countries wiki with a song contest or two [17:02:01] this offshoot is all abt the fictional countries (basically, an accidental clone of conworlding wiki bcs we didn't know the conworlding miraheze wiki existed until after we created ours) [17:03:14] https://wiki.conworlds.org/wiki/Main_Page [17:03:29] tl;dr similar to this wiki ^^ [17:04:03] except mine is private bcs it's like only 3 ppl + the miraheze migration kinda failed as only 1 editor moved to mh and another stayed in fandom, both are currently inactive [17:04:18] i'm also more active on english tfoe/conmapping wiki [17:04:31] I havent joined this conworlds wiki yet [17:05:04] [1/3] like conworlds but for mapping. And yours is in english? [17:05:04] [2/3] My english wiki is underdeveloped and i have to fix the main page: [17:05:05] [3/3] https://yourcreatures.miraheze.org/wiki/TheBestiaryoftheGolden_Hypogriph [17:05:29] mine is a "port" of the spanish tfoe wiki: https://elfuturodeeuropa.fandom.com/es/wiki/WikiElFuturoDeEuropa [17:05:41] but it's inactive on both fandom and miraheze [17:05:54] Conworlds is one of the Top50 of Worlds. 7900 articles is a lot [17:06:12] yeah [17:06:23] The future of europe is the port of El futuro de europa? interesting [17:06:44] tfoe is technically abt mapping but tbh it's used as a general-purpose for mapping community as it also hots conworlding (custom countries not relatyed to mapping series), song contest and map games, etc [17:07:11] the current wiki that's less off-topic would be https://themapping.fandom.com/ [17:07:24] my wiki is inactive aside the administrators. Glad that me and some other are on the wiki "Tuscriaturas" non-stop [17:07:27] tfoe is pretty much only used by old users who haven't elft and a couple new ones [17:07:49] the msc song contest is pretty much the main activity tbh [17:08:02] https://thefutureofeuropes.fandom.com/wiki/MappervisionSongContest [17:08:22] song contests are a category of wikis on their own. Is wild how many song contest wikis are [17:08:24] ever since the map games died out (basically roleplay games in the style of paradox games) [17:08:45] yeah, many ppl there probably got onto song contest bcs of msc [17:08:50] it's like an overlap ig [17:08:57] tfoe rly is just general purposes wiki xd [17:09:03] Yes. I know what a map game is. I spent time in Azgaar FMG server too [17:09:07] there was even a minecraft server but it has been moved to discord [17:10:07] i'm currently writing something on my wiki [17:10:32] if you ever want to write fantasy, you are welcomed to write it on tuscriaturas [17:12:31] judging by first page of the english one and title it looks more like a fantasy/rpg kind of wiki but ok xd [17:12:39] oh you said it yourself it's fantasy xd [17:12:53] yes. Is fantasy and mythology as i said [17:13:18] not rly my interests but if i stumble upon the need to write abt that i'll consider it [17:13:40] I'm currently working more abt https://conmapping.miraheze.org/wiki/Floptropica (alongside ls, who edited most of the page, I work on a map on google earth) [17:14:24] Floptropica is a tik tok meme that we and some friends decided to remake in conmapping as a nation [17:14:45] not knowing a miraheze specifically for floptropica already existed (although their iteration is different from ours) [17:15:07] is funny that a south american island has chinese writing [17:15:13] https://flopipedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page their iteration is a totally different hing [17:15:24] yeah bcs of jiafei [17:15:35] ls thought abt making chinese official as well [17:16:07] jiafei is a tik tok meme that arose from a chinese company using an ai-generated woman (based off of two chinese kpop idols) to sell products on tik tok and it somehow became a meme [17:16:13] idk i dont use tik tok tbh [17:16:46] but basically this is the lore for our iteration: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/983157376448340021/1078148229151080520/17F6C8B2-9BB6-45C0-93F3-28B5E4704B9B.mov [17:16:59] we stumbled upon this video and one of us thought of making it like on the wiki [17:17:10] and i began researched where the island was and recreating the map xd [17:17:33] also found the flag somewhere but then saw it in flopipedia wiki and stole it from there xd [17:19:55] is funny. The video is weird [19:00:23] [1/3] I can turn this into series of evening posting lol [19:00:23] [2/3] tbh this is the only track I know by these guys, I should check more someday [19:00:23] [3/3] https://youtube.com/watch?v=tFCf85TACTs [20:21:26] finally got loops to work [20:21:28] [1/5] {{#vardefine: twohundred | 200 }}{{#while: [20:21:28] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/%23vardefine:Template:_twohundred_ [20:21:28] [2/5] | {{#ifexpr: {{#var: i }} < 300 | true }} [20:21:28] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/%23ifexpr:Template:_%7b%7b%23var:_i_ [20:21:28] [3/5] | [20:21:29] [4/5] * [[Level {{#var: twohundred }}{{#vardefine: twohundred | {{#expr: {{#var: twohundred }} + 1 }} }} ]] [20:21:29] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/%23var:Template:_twohundred_ https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Level_%7b%7b#var:_twohundred_%7d%7d%7b%7b#vardefine:_twohundred_ [20:21:29] [5/5] }} [20:21:34] was the code
