[01:23:27] I load in and the donation takes over my entire screen? [01:23:59] 😭 [01:24:00] Wow [01:53:00] Log in on Wikipedia, it removes it 👍 [01:54:31] I love how they’re doing this and we have a single donate link in the footer :Danklaugh: [02:11:23] maybe not so funny considering we intended to replicate some of their older, less invasive CentralNotices in years past [02:12:19] i mean yea [02:12:27] we should consider some stuff [02:55:25] Claire you around? [10:15:46] (about the [bill]() claire sent in #tech ) this is a bill that's on the right track but is severly lacking in addressing the fact that social medias are providing the key resource of a digital third space for teenagers, and i highly doubt that they'll provide an alternative [10:29:44] as it is the protectionism creep welded to the utter lack of parental accountability has had impacts [10:30:29] maybe stop giving your kids a damn tablet when they're toddlers [12:31:49] https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/g/mediawiki/core/+/b3a0d28d98fdbe22f115724b37d8d459381ec7ee/includes/api/ApiQueryAllPages.php#3 [12:31:52] 10/10 email [12:37:26] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1310947523766255656/IMG_5913.png?ex=67471285&is=6745c105&hm=910da4183ff0b0306810c60b31c6a2b60c588c6ff1f6f29f79a04442afe52b72& [12:37:29] quality toot [12:38:04] actually [12:38:21] that’s genuinely a really smart way to prevent bots from getting your email [12:38:33] OH [12:38:44] oh my god my brain just glossed over it like it was a placeholder lol [12:40:11] anyways that reminded me of something else for some reason, I have to do tech support for my grandma sometimes [12:40:28] she refers to her edge browser as her “E” [12:40:39] so like [12:40:46] “I can’t find my e” [12:42:19] lmao [16:19:36] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1311003436199706775/Untitled.jpg?ex=67474698&is=6745f518&hm=69aa790a70a64ddc10cf7ccbe797f2067a10f4f02531d7890560144e6c823f87& [19:11:14] man [19:11:22] you tried to report? [19:23:25] i asked the admin to delete which they did (it was also the admin who did the plagiarism so yah). as I understand it, you need to issue a DMCA takedown to request RevDel for cypright reasons and I'm not attaching my legal name to any of this so I guess that's the best I'm gonna get [19:30:10] Did any of you guys have a situation where the creator (author, dev, artist) went and tried his best to destroy the wiki [19:33:50] No [19:34:02] Did that happen to you? [19:34:16] I’ve seen people try to DMCA their dead fandom counters [19:37:46] Rain World Wiki did that [19:38:21] Calamity Mod Wiki probably tried to do that too, or at least get the wiki closed, but they failed to do so. [19:38:56] Tiny Rogues Wiki also did that [19:43:53] :Kirby: [19:44:14] Ah a nice day today surely not can ruin it toda- [19:44:31] Does charming a fandom rep into deleting the wiki count? [19:46:04] Oh hey, saw you talking about betterend yesterday lol [19:46:28] Did they have a second wiki or something? [19:47:18] IDR [19:48:40] In the feedthebeast server, https://discord.com/channels/166630061217153024/763229181231497226/1310660088440160277 [19:49:08] [1/2] No pings, no ping replies [19:49:08] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1311056165706137640/btq6rc6kp6b71.png?ex=674777b4&is=67462634&hm=71de7661df985df4e4efcdc64b50cccc8f85bf49485bd96b003148b7e9e6866a& [19:50:03] Yep, I got censored by the dev team for making a wiki that included fan content and theories, and then they banned my whole team and set up their own shitty one [19:50:36] What was so bad about theirs? [19:51:34] Lack of information, bad design, lack of special features and well, ads [19:51:50] They also literally made a port of the old fandom wiki [19:51:52] Nothing new [19:52:26] And then they proceeded to frame me with extremism and ban all of my team [19:52:46] And then threatened to DMCA... Over a fucking hoi4 mod [19:52:59] OH YEAH AND IT WAS ONLY EDITABLE BY ADMINS [19:53:49] Jesus [19:55:24] Yep, and then they compared the wiki to conservapedia and metapedia in a discord announcement [19:56:24] Meanwhile, when I work with new game wikis, the devs are happy to see the development of a new wiki [19:56:52] Sometimes, they may even become official [19:57:01] Like https://1000xresist.wiki.gg [19:58:22] Or even https://thepalebeyond.wiki.gg, although not official, it's appreciated by the devs at least [19:58:35] Motherfucker how??? [19:58:48] Honestly I regret making my wiki in the first place [19:59:05] A complete waste of time, considering it just got censored and indexed [19:59:21] And it's one of the best wikis I've seen [20:00:36] I just happen to recruit a good team of wiki editors for the game, and they asked with the dev with stuff like assets and other questions and all that, while the wiki was still in development [20:01:07] More so because there is a market for making decent wikis for lesser known/indie games [20:01:51] For me, it was a messege from the devs that they will not tolerate fan wikis lol [20:01:57] I'm sorry for what happened with you guys though, you guys deserve better [20:01:59] ьфт [20:02:04] man [20:02:18] was it like fanon or canon wiki? [20:02:29] Canon [20:02:36] tno.wiki [20:02:58] aw man [20:03:07] Oh shesh [20:03:17] That's a big one [20:03:17] Well, yeah [20:03:22] I remember it, sorry man [20:03:27] Same [20:03:30] Big one? [20:03:37] Yeah [20:03:58] To me at least [20:04:03] Damn [20:04:07] Yeah it honestly sucks [20:04:13] Some devs would kill to get a wili [20:04:53] Fr [20:05:05] Meanwhile these devs are just a bunch of coomers, SJWs, tankies, groomer, neonazis, and at the end of the day just a bunch of nationalists with an "us vs them" mentality [20:05:17] Nintendo is tame in comparison [20:05:28] Nintendo is at least a company [20:05:52] This is a decentralized dev team of community members... For a Nazi victory swedish map game [20:06:48] Sounds like there are better uses of your time, then. 😦 Sorry you and the dev team seem to be at such odds. [20:07:10] Thanks ♥️ [20:07:25] Also, is there a way to see what are the wikis in size by like activity and stuff on them? [20:07:36] There is a tool for it i believe [20:07:45] Don’t remember the irl [20:07:50] URL* [20:08:23] failed dead game resurrection by incompetent devs completely once again killed my faith into multiplayer games (except for tf2) [20:08:42] Which games? [20:08:48] wmcloud [20:08:57] As a tf2 player, tf2 will never die lol [20:09:05] long live tf2 [20:09:05] Yes I mean the subdomain [20:09:20] It's fan base will keep their 16 yo game alive [20:10:12] Huh? [20:10:24] For the Miraheze wikis: [20:10:25] I didn’t even know those were things [20:10:25] https://wikistats.wmcloud.org/display.php?t=mh [20:10:32] Yea that [20:11:03] For other farms, just go back to wikistats.wmcloud.org [20:11:38] [1/3] afraid to sound like broken record lol [20:11:38] [2/3] I was into Battleborn and Gigantic and tireless jumped around their communities and admined 4 total of wikis (in English and Russian) but both of them died under the crushing weight of OW popularity and it burned me out very bad [20:11:38] [3/3] Gigantic was slightly updated by completely different dev team and released again this spring but it was a disaster [20:11:47] If you want a show on those wikis, read conservapedias article on Kamala Harris and metapedias article on holocaust survivors [20:12:16] Ты русский? [20:12:33] Battleborn is currently being resurrected by a single big brained fan [20:12:46] A yter? [20:12:50] How does Fisch have 123 active users [20:12:59] Unless it’s counting imported users [20:13:02] No [20:13:34] не-ф [20:14:05] Wikistats for fandom has a useless list [20:14:44] Is there any half decent list of fandom wikis [20:17:27] Is there a half decent fandom wiki? [20:17:38] Definitely [20:18:04] Откуда сы? [20:18:05] Just because fandom as a company and service sucks doesn’t mean the communities it hosts can be awesome [20:18:18] quality of wiki ultimately depends on its admin team [20:18:39] dedicated admin can make sick stuff even on Fandom [20:18:54] Russian Borderlands Wiki is such example for me [20:18:58] Wookipedia [20:19:29] The hazbin Hotel wiki is really good too [20:19:47] But yeah wookipedia is a masterpiece [20:20:05] It honestly feels as if these wikis are trying to jump out of fandoms skin considerithoe much they're pushing it's limits [20:20:30] She-Ra wiki at a glance is pretty good quality on content [20:20:39] But has the most unfortunate and painful URL maybe ever [20:20:44] https://she-raandtheprincessesofpower.fandom.com/wiki/Entrapta [20:21:06] EEEEEW [20:21:20] Wait [20:21:47] guys at BL wiki made some cool stuff for Fandom Dev Wiki lol [20:21:56] BL? [20:22:06] She-Ra spoiler(also the page is one obviously): ||Didnt see join the Hoard before S3? That seems wrong|| [20:22:09] I'm so glad I purchased a domain [20:22:21] Fandom dev is a nerd’s dream [20:22:27] Did you guys get drama from the polcompball wiki regarding their domain? [20:22:42] How so [20:23:15] I know they talked to miraheze, because they had domain problems [20:23:24] Some guy purchased their domain, but became inactive [20:23:36] I think it was one of the members of the wikitide board [20:23:43] Oh yeah [20:23:47] Agent [20:23:57] I think it’s been resolved [20:25:02] For the record, the domain drama is still ongoing because the original domain, which I possess, was changed by a rival faction to the head bureaucrat [20:25:11] but Stewards are too busy to even delve into it [20:26:22] What happened to him? [20:26:28] Oh [20:26:41] Hold on [20:26:57] What rival faction and what beuracat? [20:27:02] How is control of a domain steward terf [20:28:01] A faction of bureaucrats who wanted to dump Kymi out of the wiki as head bureaucrat (and still do) [20:28:21] Leadership dispute and potentially unauthorized ManageWiki changes [20:28:33] I was a partner of polandball and still am [20:28:40] Did they not get control of the wiki? [20:29:23] I haven’t had time to look into it further but I think Kymi and her supporters have all but been deposed [20:29:48] Why does that petty drama exist [20:29:53] At least mine was between devs [20:29:55] ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [20:30:06] Fighting over political testicles [20:30:16] that’s one way of describing it [20:30:26] another would be essentially glorified cartoon fanfic [20:30:40] Well, PCB is cartoons [20:30:46] Bye do you know my wiki? [20:31:01] not acquainted with it, no [20:31:53] Borderlands [20:32:07] tno.wiki [20:32:59] I'm honestly quite proud of it since I get random dm requests from people to say my css is good [20:33:06] Would be cool if people actually SAW my wiki [20:33:18] And not get indexed by a fandom one [21:16:40] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1311078193679040593/IMG_5914.png?ex=67478c38&is=67463ab8&hm=c253800af202ef977bcb8c49ef7c013e392f56978b3a012a0c6a91324b810222& [21:17:03] I have a USB drive with several bootable environments and a gig or so of random utilities, why do I need a bigger one [21:17:36] I can boot into HBCD and install various OSes [21:17:44] why do I need a larger one [21:18:42] A USB thumbdrive is the recipe for disasters [21:19:13] Did you know USB sticks these days have really low quality compared to many years ago? [21:20:31] Well, if you want usb sized for boot drive, get something called SSD thumbdrive or UFS sticks [21:21:42] I mean my drive has worked for years now (and I keep backups, obviously) [21:22:00] and aren’t all thumb drives SSDs [21:22:01] like [21:22:15] I doubt there’s a little tiny HDD just spinning away in a thumb drive [21:22:16] Oh sure, the old usb sticks are very reliable [21:22:32] I mean mine is one of the uh [21:22:41] :ThinkerMH: [21:23:22] [1/2] one of these guys [21:23:22] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1311079880003424376/image0.jpg?ex=67478dca&is=67463c4a&hm=37834ef939c3bec615ff6ce97929c05ec4908a0fcf57302a32122f347ef582fc& [21:23:51] Hmm, no idea when is your stick manufactured [21:24:23] yeah I mean they’ve been making those for eons [21:24:43] mine was like ~2020ish iirc [21:24:47] I tested some modern steel usb sticks and it's way slower than a 500GB 2.5 HDD🤡 [21:25:03] mine have pretty good speed [21:25:15] more often than not I find it’s limited by the computer [21:25:53] Well, I slap Linux Mint to USB sticks and can't even boot as they are too slow [21:26:03] ah [21:26:13]
