[03:26:11] [1/2] This looks like a fun event [03:26:11] [2/2] https://indiewikijam.com/ [03:26:30] Last year Miraheze wikis were eligible. I don't see an indication that that's changed. [03:52:08] UBO lite works okay-ish, but def not a 1:1 replacement [04:02:38] [1/3] There is some vague language that has been weaponized against our org/used as reason to disqualify MH/WT on previous initiatives, specifically: [04:02:38] [2/3] ```on a host that respects their self-governance, self-determination and similar factors``` [04:02:38] [3/3] I don't see any reason that any individual wikis shouldn't apply if they have interest, though. [04:45:21] The same people organized IWJ last year, and Pandora's Tale Wiki participated. So eligibility of MH wikis comes down to whether the organizers have changed their minds in the past year. [04:45:40] (PTW will not be participating this year due to issues going on in my life.) [04:47:02] Wishing you a less hectic 2025 by its closure [05:31:26] wiki.gg is accepted too I think [09:53:40] [1/2] https://www.uopeople.edu/blog/how-was-life-before-the-internet/ [09:53:40] [2/2] Have a fun read!! [09:54:49] man, I am 21, and I feel like I haven't enjoyed life enough [09:55:05] like I'm done with school and college [09:55:15] but I do really want to make more irl stuff [09:56:33] It's like... In my time (I am 50+) Internet was an escape from reality. Now reality is an escape from the internet! 😛 [10:05:56] fr [10:14:17] idk man internet is still keeping me sane [10:14:31] i have enough shit to deal w/ irl [10:15:11] i wouldn't met some of amazing people i call my friends w/o internet [10:20:34] Not saying that Internet is a waste of time. Just the perspective has changed in the last 20 years or so [10:42:46] welcome aboard [10:43:14] I dissed chrome years ago, well, I shouldn't say that because I kind of grew up without it [10:43:52] not 'before it' but literally in that period where it was getting big but I had a stubborn parent who used firefox and opera and that's how I came up, and now I cannot fathom using chrome for a handful of reasons [10:44:19] unless a derivative like brave, which iirc can still do base ublock origin and is holding out for a while yet [10:57:01] brave is full of crypto and ai suggestions lol [10:57:32] I never liked Chrome but had to keep some forks just in case, and recently went w/ Cromite [12:00:12] [1/2] @theoneandonlylegroom you will get this one [12:00:12] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1319997849768824872/80bfb29821c74c6d.png?ex=6767ff4b&is=6766adcb&hm=365755d2f5398c88b2dc624bdb2e301d380bc6398832ceb41f284258423aedc2& [12:11:27] I've never really liked chrome tbf, I don't see the whole hype around it. Safari is such a better browser. [12:11:47] _is forced to use Vivaldi for cross platform_ [12:15:53] Great now I have a third PTW wiki to keep track of. This acronym is getting over loaded /j [12:16:21] I’m using Firefox Dev edition, considering waterfox or Librewolf [12:17:54] Also, raidarr guess what [12:24:09] didn't you left discord? [12:27:14] Nah just mostly moved to IRC [12:36:18] Welcome to the right side of Web Browsers [12:36:30] I need to find my Mozilla shirt [12:38:37] Its funny the stuff I’ve gotten for volunteering for non-profits, I’ve got 1 (maybe 2?) Google Code-in Shirts from when I was was a mentor to students doing Google Code In for 2 different years for WMF, and I got a Mozilla shirt for being apart of their firefox support team [12:48:07] Why did YouTube recommend me a video of VTuber going insane over an NPM PR on her repo [12:48:09] https://youtu.be/PE0HpSknfw0?si=1qya_cxoqxruevZR [12:49:55] I have cloudflare merch from their discord and AWS + Google shit from there corporate events [12:49:56] Weird [12:49:57] But funny [12:50:09] Okay that sounds dope [12:50:14] CF has a discord? [12:50:22] And do merch giveaways [12:50:37] Yup [12:50:42] I won one of them [12:51:20] I should use some of my free time here to look back on miraheze merch [12:51:22] But we’ll [12:51:26] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1320010741977317487/IMG_5624.jpg?ex=67680b4d&is=6766b9cd&hm=ec4115bafadea506fe4d6ad62207ec7f019a868d64fecbfdfaf6e9e7758a6814& [12:51:31] some technical difficulties [12:51:36] :wikipetan: [12:51:42] Not too bad [12:51:44] Some of FOSSBot’s MirahezeBot (before FOSSBot shutdown) was actually was code from a student during google code in if you remember [12:51:51] Plus it’s a Chromebook [12:52:00] Glorified web browser [12:52:07] ChromeOS is fairly easy to recover and mostly lossless [12:52:16] Only thing not on the cloud is my downloads [12:52:18] Yeah [12:52:19] Because it's special cause for an OS it's tiny so it's dual installed [12:52:28] Chromebooks is just a physical version of chrome and you wont change my mind [12:52:28] I do [12:52:30] I just need to go out and buy a 8GB stick [12:52:36] I definitely remember that code [12:52:46] How does google code work again [12:52:54] Eh kinda, it's got a bit of androidy stuff in it [12:53:13] It's chrome with a few android features [12:53:17] It’s ass anyways [12:53:30] I had a Chromebook once [12:53:36] Oh, btw I managed to edit Wikipedia from my Amazon kindle [12:53:44] Nice [12:54:08] Google Code In was a program for high school students worldwide to do code for various projects, it doesnt exist anymore it was shut down by google, I actually emailed google a couple years ago, and asked if I could revive it for no charge but was rejected :/ [12:54:38] :waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh: [12:54:53] I should ask them about it next time we have googlers working with us [12:55:05] We work with some fairly senior people from google [12:55:12] Is Sunmer of Code the same thing [12:55:20] No [12:55:32] They are both google programs for students though [12:55:46] If any of them work in ad stuff maybe ask about us getting rejected over and over for non profit ad grant:melt: [12:55:51] Code In was a contest [12:55:54] Both shut down?

[13:06:38] I’m horrible at public speaking though [13:11:09] @rhinosf1 thoughts? [13:14:10] You know how you get better? [13:15:35] Let me gues [13:15:38] Doing it [13:15:55] Eh [13:16:23] I could wear a Nintendo shirt and if I fuck up nudge Nintendo to file a DMCA on the recording [13:17:07] Yup [13:17:21] I asked if that would qualify as a talk [13:17:58] I don’t wanna seem like I’m promoting miraheze so gonna focus more on mediawiki and the space overall [13:18:09] > Lightning talks may cover a wide range of topics related to Wikipedia, Wikimedia, and the larger free culture movement [13:18:10] Eh [13:18:12] Good enough [13:18:37] Would you wanna help me plan the talk? :melt: [13:19:51] Sure, happy to once I'm back from seeing family [13:19:57] I'm back late on the 1st [13:22:36] I need to think of more non video game wikis [13:34:59] > [22/12/2024 00:22] I need to think of more non video game wikis [13:35:04] the queers said hi :3 [13:35:19] Oh hey BlankEclair [13:35:23] ohey [13:35:59] though i suppose in the rvw's case, it's more collating the universe's lore in one place?
