[00:00:06] (this definitely isnt related to hypothetical auth bot trust) [00:00:09] Pizza Tower isn't top 100 iirc [00:00:34] Mine’s probably bottom 100 😄 [00:00:41] Yeah, after the QP closure a lot of users moved to different wikis or left Miraheze altogether [00:00:50] This is for fun dont need to be accurate [00:00:55] QP? [00:01:18] Quantum Particles! [00:01:21] Abbreviation for Qualitipedia, which was shut down by community vote [00:01:31] H u h. [00:01:41] By the Miraheze community Or it’s own? [00:02:06] Its own with a few members from the Miraheze community joining in [00:02:07] QP self-destructed [00:02:13] very great for Stewards backlog [00:02:15] If it’s the former I can see why others would jump shup [00:02:27] Sarcastic great or actually great [00:02:32] actually great [00:02:38] problem child? [00:02:38] QP was a haven for abuse [00:02:40] yep [00:02:47] womp womp [00:03:34] Also anyone know is OAuth consumer can be deleted by author? Seems to be no but I have a history for um [00:03:47] oversight of embarrassing obvious functions [00:03:53] Yeah lets go with that [00:04:45] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1207477563086086205/image.png?ex=65dfca1c&is=65cd551c&hm=064b46d7d28240d8519d26525c680c46150eb596b9559d8cb23cbf0c2ea4bbd1& [00:04:47] top 25 [00:04:59] a few more wikis will dethrone the top 5 once WT merges back [00:05:05] as we wiped out a great portion [00:05:49] Star Dust, MCJP [00:05:58] No Netpedia wikis, RIP [00:06:05] Critical Role [00:06:34] knowing me I’ll probably pick the ones I recognize. Actually probably the ones that have the best pictures associated [00:06:38] assuming i find time [00:08:05] anyways muchas gracias agent [00:08:25] day nahduh [00:09:11] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1168174901052592259/1207478622315610165/pat.gif?ex=65dfcb19&is=65cd5619&hm=f67d637aa74a302731858b28f7756db38168e369f25ce8a90b90de536751e733& [00:09:32] I forgot I made a whole discord bot for pat gifs [00:09:35] may as well use it! [00:12:08] Ooh, That's wonderful stuff! I often have to look up what you guys are talking about 😄 [00:15:25] What's this based off? :o i.e. page count, disk size, etc. [00:23:57] Glad you find it helpful! It can be quite dizzying for a newcomer [00:24:18] Indeed it is. [00:42:25] [1/2] (I don't know if hezes was a typo for hexes but I like the mental image it implies) [00:42:25] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1207487041760137259/image.png?ex=65dfd2f0&is=65cd5df0&hm=b5a43f749dc9cab368afc49b61c188e18cf796a0ac384af748c23adcaa31b25d& [00:43:48] it was and hell yea [00:51:40] Who made the MH logo anyways? [00:56:00] A bee 🐝 [00:56:30] barry?!?!?!? [01:06:13] Doug — such an interesting character [01:06:24] sorry just saw the earlier posts [02:51:25] Its actually on Wikimedia commons [02:52:01] https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:QuimGil made it [03:14:11] <.labster> Wow I am really bad at reading Catalan ^ [03:18:11] just learn Spanish [03:18:13] or French [03:18:15] same thing [03:20:21] <.labster> I did learn Spanish. No lo entiendo [03:32:03] Problema de habilidad [03:42:43] Это круто, но ты знаешь русский? [03:43:13] <.labster> Sorry I don’t speak Soviet [03:43:21] I do lol [03:43:57] French, Russian, German, Spanish, some Croatian, and sometimes English [03:44:36] <.labster> すごい！ [03:45:12] oh [03:45:13] lol [03:46:49] hehhhh [03:46:53] how on Earth-- [03:47:39] I got bored, was in choir from elementary to high school so had to learn at least 1 foreign language song a semester [03:48:14] I used to know some Korean but I have forgotten it [03:48:25] Damn, sometimes I barely know my own native language. XD I swear some people are just.. naturally better at learning a language. [03:48:54] [1/2] learning English as a Japanese speaker was very difficult 😦 [03:48:54] [2/2] They have little in common lol [03:49:07] So the caveat with me is that I can’t verbally pronounce those languages, I only learned how to write them [03:49:24] I'm learning Russian and I constantly ask why the fuck the tables and chairs have genders. lol [03:49:53] <.labster, replying to kiju1108> I know. I think I only know maybe 20 kanji [03:49:54] Non-english languages tend to genderify their words [03:50:31] German, if you just yell something loudly chances are its a german word [03:51:41] The hardest one for me to learn was Russian, Cyrillic is difficult [03:52:03] <.labster> https://tenor.com/view/work-cry-injured-too-lazy-to-go-to-work-gif-15975022 [03:53:05] I would say I can understand written Russian a decent amount some things I need help with. With all the languages slang and similar I’m not too good with [03:53:40] <.labster> I can mainly read Greek alphabet because of math classes [03:53:58] I tried to learn Greek but it confused me [03:54:22] Someone suggested i learn latin.. yeah no thanks [03:57:04] <.labster> I know enough Japanese that I was able to tell my sansei coworker that no, his tattoo was definitely not his name (and just seemed to be random katakana) [03:58:11] My coworker had a tattoo done in Russian because her great grandparents were Russian… lets just say it translated to asshole [03:58:41] It was supposed to be her name [04:00:48] Hey, same from the other direction. 😅 [04:01:19] [1/2] we had at least 3 people join PTW server and ask how we do things to look like this lol [04:01:20] [2/2] ngl nice to see looking at us as an example [04:01:59] Middle school, high school and University Japanese instruction here, I still retain enough to read but absolutely can't speak or write fluently with confidence [04:02:41] Similar to me I wouldnt even attempt to speak it but read/write is fine [04:03:00] I can speak some of the french, german and spanish, but not nearly as much as I can write [04:04:02] we aren't big but very got pretty famous now thanks to mossbag, got massive google clicks spike when his vid came out [04:04:24] <.labster, replying to theoneandonlylegroom> Nominee for featured wiki on the main page of Meta, then? [04:04:35] Oh god the chaos if we did that [04:05:01] Indeed, the Japanese language is insane 😂 [04:07:12] <.labster, replying to notaracham> I only the most important words of Japanese, like 異世界、怪獣、美少年 [04:08:14] I do want to learn Mandarin but also.. it scares me so much. XD [04:47:58] meanwhile, my tumblr post from August is still getting notes, despite being pretty outdated at this point [05:13:31] note part 2? [05:20:56] people don't notice correction reblogs, they barely even check replies [05:21:48] and I opted myself out of search [05:22:58] I considered at some point to make a whole separate blog about wiki things, because I've made like 4? posts between August and December which have spread around well [05:23:35] but I'm getting overwhelmed rn, too much stuff going on at once [05:24:18] if you guys consider making official Miraheze tumblr tho 😉 [05:35:35] seriously though, I think it would be beneficial [05:36:34] as we all know, tumblr is very "fandom heavy" place, and a fair amount of people have learned or already knew that Fandom the wiki hosting is bad, I wasn't the first w/ anti Fandom propaganda lmao [05:36:49] someone even hyped up last fundraiser [05:37:18] people would be able to ask questions and advices, they like seeing ask posts [05:37:37] like I shortly after got an ask about exact export/import dumps [05:40:16] would need help getting reblogs from bigger accounts, not sure how popular wiki-related tags are + people get irritated if you try putting technically unrelated posts in fandom tags [05:43:06] [1/2] tbh I have no idea which big tumblr made a reblog which snowballed, in fact it must be the most popular post I ever made since registering in 2011 (I can't tell how many notes reposts of one Japanese artists are having now, I got tired at some point and deleted then to stop getting notes lol) [05:43:07] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1207562713245417532/IMG_20240215_084142.jpg?ex=65e0196a&is=65cda46a&hm=b6a9e36c13b9ac233a5d39653c378193d1cba75a5d323716fdd8e2df73f7cc19& [05:43:59] tumblr has a labs feature you can enable & one of them is a sort of reblog bubble graph thing [05:44:12] it's less about tags and more about reblog chains [05:44:55] actually idt you need to enable it its just on posts now [05:45:36] once in a while I get notes of my old Borderlands assets posts, which most likely were found in the tags of some big blog, and no way you'll just stumble on 5+ y/o post in global search [05:46:10] tumblr is so magical like that [05:46:10] not to mention, again, I opted myself out of search because of concerns [05:46:36] [1/2] oh right, I forgot about [05:46:36] [2/2] it just suddenly appeared and disappeared fore [05:47:28] a different way of how tumblr is magical (website problems) [05:49:09] right [05:49:24] ever since Yahoo bought it went downhill [05:49:50] new owners are trying though [05:50:21] but UI change is a big con [05:50:24] they should stop trying to innovate and just let it live normally [05:50:30] yeah [05:50:36] fix what's is broken [05:50:55] go back actually i dont want the side nav like twitter and i dont want photo posts to be just text posts with photos [05:51:11] I was absolutely baffled to find out that apparently they forced global tag system on blogs [05:51:37] god I hate how images are rendered rn w/ new fotmat [05:51:58] it also looks BAD when you are using unusual or custom theme [05:52:02] <.labster> Tumblr has been at war with its own users for years, nothing new here. [05:52:06] I customise my shit man [05:53:16] i wanted to use that classic redux edit theme but had to go in and customize quite a bit, especially post/photo widths so our images (sized to be pixel perfect on dashboard) would display nicely too on the blog theme [05:54:01] I'm not even sure how many users actually surf in desktop mode nowadays [05:54:17] a lot of new users aren't even aware of theming [05:54:38] I don't their mobile app, I surf exclusively in browsers lol [05:54:43] crazy how much "newer" social media has rotted peoples ability to Just Use The Internet [05:55:26] yeah, my main is tweaked redux too lol [05:55:28] <.labster, replying to dvdexe> all according to plan [05:56:07] kingies redux the goat [05:59:13] i guess its not just social media but mobile devices in general that have ruined attention spans, basic computer using ability, etc [06:00:23] people expect younger generation (teens-20s) to just know how to do anything on a computer but those same kids are being given ipads and chromebooks and not taught how to actually use them outside of schoolwork & internet browsing [06:00:28] I've been saying that for years now lol [06:00:36] i say that like im not 24 [06:01:17] ladies twice older than me at my work are more computer literate than kids in my brother's (twice younger than me) class were [06:01:57] [1/2] mid 20s is a really weird age bracket to be in when it comes to this kind of stuff [06:01:57] [2/2] i remember growing up with dial-up, to flip phones & qwerty keyboards, and now having like 3 computing devices on me at all times [06:03:00] in high school i scoffed at a class they tried putting me in where on the first day, they were telling us how to open windows and create folders but if only i knew what the future would be like. because younger ppl are expected to know this stuff they straight up dont teach those classes anymore [06:04:14] I had such lessons in like, second grade, 2002 or 2003, and back then computers were quite a luxury in there, in fact I probably never seen a PC irl before [06:05:30] <.labster> I built my high school's first website, as a sophomore, in 1997, based on the one guy before me who did it in 1996 [06:05:55] they started teaching us HTML probably around 8 grade [06:06:07] <.labster> But I remember what it was like to have a question and just, you know, not have Google to search. You'd just be left wondering who was in that movie [06:06:14] i remember having computer labs in at least 6th grade(2010), maybe 5th my memory is really bad. but my mom loves to tell me how i would turn on the family pc and start up my games when i was 3 haha [06:06:46] one high school class i took was something like web design, but it was just? teaching office suite stuff? so after finishing assignments i would just go to w3schools and learn html myself [06:07:15] [1/2] me before 2010, when I actually got Internet in household [06:07:15] [2/2] I had to visit my friends w/ Internet when I was making my final project in art school [06:09:32] we hadnt had wifi in my house up until mid 2021 i want to say. before that it was phone line dial-up, then usb hotspots, and then just smartphone (&their hotspots) [06:10:25] printing colorful fashion and art reference photos for conceptual part of the project costed me a fortune back then lmao [06:10:49] i still cant fathom printing anything in colour at home [06:11:05] oh, I had to go to photo kiosk [06:11:09] printing kiosk [06:11:13] you get it [06:11:32] ye olde printinge kioske [06:12:15] I got printer/scanner in mid 2010s and don't even print w/ it anymore because changing and buying new ink cartridges was frustrating, shit was drying out fast [06:12:32] they're enormously expensive now here [06:15:59] oh, and before my friends started getting Internet, we went together to Internet Cafes couple of times lol [06:16:14] had to pay to record saved stuff on CD-R/RW [06:17:37] did you pay because they supplied the blanks???or because you download stuff using their bandwidth [06:18:49] no, exactly the recording [06:18:56] CDs were mine [06:19:10] harsh [06:19:13] I don't remember if saving was outlined [06:19:25] I def remember recording in price list lol [06:19:39] I had to go to the lady at reception [06:19:54] PCs themselves didn't have drives [06:20:03] ahhh [06:20:28] i dont think i ever went to one but i do have memories of going to the town library with clunky vista laptop to download mods & cc for the sims 3 [06:21:05] I got bootleg DVDs w/ Sims 2 mods from friends lol [06:21:24] one had an NSFW one ... [06:21:30] noooo [06:22:09] and my dumb kid ass didn't know how to rollback so had to manually delete all the junk [06:22:52] also cheat codes lists were printed and passed around lol [06:23:31] tch i got all my cheat codes from my brothers nintendo powers [06:25:24] I recently rewatched the Curse of the Grey Elephant - as I'm from small province town I didn't have the luxury or dedication to be full on Dendy/Sega gamer in 90s Russia, but the part about cheat codes and manuals is hilarious [06:27:34] the mythical dendy [06:28:01] I had Dendy Junior [06:28:28] my dad promised to buy Sega Mega Drive for good grades but it never happened lol [06:29:14] also I participated in art contest which has Mega Drive as first place prize ... I didn't won, amd I got sooo upset lo [06:31:39] ohhh in 2017 senior year high school i had some other computer class, something with indesign and layout design, and the teacher had us all participate in a logo design contest for some regional school tech conference thing. i ended up winning (it was NOT that good of a design and the colour palette requirements sucked) and they gave me a ps4 [06:31:59] 🥹 [06:33:38] [1/2] however, [06:33:38] [2/2] i decided to trade it in for a switch from my mom because my reasoning was that ps4 didnt have any games i wanted + no home wifi. so i got the switch & botw in june a few months later. that was basically the only game i played for all that summer [06:34:13] it was funny cuz i was going to start college in the fall WHERE I WOULD HAVE WIFI LOL? but still not many games on ps4 appealed to me so i guess i still made the right decision [06:34:56] once a nintenbro always a nintenbro [12:01:36] for kicks I sometimes ask questions to acquaintances seeing what sorts of browsers or operating systems they know or the like [12:01:40] the answers can be enlightening [12:01:57] sometimes I have to give them credit for simply being able to say 'chrome' vs 'a web what' [12:07:11] mon dieu [14:04:05] it's sad to know abt this tbh [14:05:11] Like after all, the alpha gen is just getting dominated every seconds with easy access to those, too soon... [16:18:45] TIL [[Category:New Admin Guide]] kinda exists [16:18:45] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Category:New_Admin_Guide [16:18:46]
