[05:41:22] yuuup [06:17:49] :xeniaHacker: [06:20:08] so cool [11:14:26] What server is this from [12:04:38] Cool new video on MCW history https://youtu.be/ySXP4hxFNFw?si=z18L4zcUnR_SNDpL [12:05:16] (And more context on the Fandom purchase) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41801613 [12:06:24] ah shit, what has fandom done again [12:07:22] oh okay, just info about the curse purchase [12:10:59] https://wikis.world/@MinecraftWikiEN/113737778566692521 new video on the past [12:11:07] Go boost :WatchYoSelf: [12:11:22] (To clarify that emoji is a hand holding a gun) [12:11:34] you don't need to tell me twice xD [12:12:12] Indie Wiki Buddy mention [12:12:40] Oh yeah I forgot hey wiki exists [12:21:01] incherestinh [13:02:29] just joined a server for a discord bot that’s getting overhauled in a kind of dumb way imo, said that I like the old version better because it runs more smoothly and is less clunky to use, suggested they open source the old codebase, and then someone with a paid membership called it “the worst suggestion yet” [13:02:35] don’t you just love the internet [13:03:46] I just left the server after that [13:04:14] hopefully the devs actually pay attention to that suggestion but I don’t even want to deal with that [13:04:57] anyways tip for bluesky users: [13:05:24] please follow https://bsky.app/profile/fed.brid.gy so us fediverse people can follow you [13:09:49] @originalauthority hi ex fandom contractor can you confirm if this is actually true [13:10:04] Or at least when you were there [13:11:17] [1/2] just watched the vid, it was nice [13:11:17] [2/2] although the musings about wp being the only non profit thing out there - really? [13:12:43] I didnt read as that [13:12:53] It’s a great example and the best wiki one [13:14:41] the video is a very good example that miraheze has never been on track for strategic development [13:14:53] that would have been the biggest catch by far, but of course that was not long after uuuuh, summer events [13:15:24] Hm? [13:15:55] the fact a web 1.0 site was highlighted so much or bulbagarden and miraheze not even in contention is very sad [13:16:17] though I think wikitide was on the table then, but it didn't get in the game really either [13:16:22] yeah, that I can agree w/ [13:17:13] I disabled reblogs of my old post, because I frankly got tired of getting notes on it and it's hilariously outdated now mentioning WikiTide alone [13:17:31] and how much more shit fandom has done later [13:21:59] I think it was because of stability issues [13:22:17] The shutdown scare a bit back [13:22:21] Not so much strategy [13:23:11] well, on the surface that's of course true [13:23:46] but the shutdown scare in some part I would call part of a deeper leadership problem, the fact things could have possibly come to a point where that shutdown was on the table and most senior admins left etc [13:24:36] severe internal divisions and unaddressed issues, no situation management, those were root causes, the instability that followed were symptoms [13:25:29] now of course it is hindsight and a matter of future improvement, not least the board taking steps over time to ensure those circumstances do not appear again [13:44:09] Unclear? Ordered pizza via wiki? [13:44:52] Never heard of anything like that [13:45:05] "Babe, who added Domino's integration with the Rainverse Wiki?" [13:45:14] Fandom would on occasion allow us to order pizza and they would pay [13:45:27] (To our houses, obviously though) [13:48:44] Maybe I judged them too harshly [13:55:49] Fandom was not a bad place to work; just a bad company to work for if that makes sense. The pay was good (for me, at least, I hear americans didn't have it so good), the work was easy; but the company fucking sucks [13:56:02] I will not accept the hate for Oasis [13:56:06] My beloved ❤️ [14:00:03] Plus I saved a fuck ton of money on Netflix, Prime etc [14:01:31] Hm? [14:02:11] Fandom has accounts to all the major streaming services that we were allowed to use [14:02:17] That checks out. I’d love to get a job in a wiki company some day, and if fandom was a good company that respected its users and such I would absolutely consider it as a place to work some day [14:02:37] Maybe one day I’ll end up working as a software engineer for the WMF who knows [14:03:00] If fandom survives the next few years maybe [14:03:37] I've seen a lot of news articles recently alluding to financial struggles (thus all the layoffs) but maybe thats just scaremongering lol [14:04:15] Hm? [14:09:12] hmmmmmmm [14:14:25] :ThinkerMH: [14:39:44] Claire you around [14:40:16] nya [14:41:49] Hi [14:41:54] Question [14:42:01] How hard was installing arch btw [14:42:35] as an intermediate-advanced user, it's basically running some commands that do the overarching steps [14:42:39] (this was before archinstall btw) [14:43:17] Interm-advance with CLI using or Linux backend stuff in general [14:43:19] basically: setup the partition table, connect to the internet, pacstrap to the partition, chroot in, do a couple other misc stuff, install bootloader [14:44:03] > [31/12/2024 01:43] Interm-advance with CLI using or Linux backend stuff in general [14:44:07] pixldev: linux in general [14:44:10] So not ‘difficult’ just a bit tedious [14:44:22] yeah, you basically need to roughly know what you're doing [14:44:39] Hmmmmmm [14:44:57] Considering if I wanna jump into the deep end and go arch or just do Fedora [14:45:12] I do not think i could install Arch [14:54:44] openSuse ftw [14:54:58] Nah [14:55:16] I probably don’t but would be funny to try [14:55:31] now that's the spirit! [14:55:39] perhaps try in a vm if you don't wanna fuck up your system though [14:55:59] Fair [14:56:09] I’m gonna get a laptop soon to duel boot Mac and Linux [14:56:14] Been pondering a distro to use [14:56:24] (Leaning Fedora. KDE FTW) [15:06:11] h-HUH https://www.kali.org/docs/introduction/kali-undercover/#going-undercover [15:06:31] Claire: it’s windowslinux [15:48:07] developing without phpstorm really is a fucking pain [15:48:08] crying badly [15:49:05] completely unrelated, I could see you making the kind of video you see at the early side of DIMM4's channel [15:49:15] Really? [15:49:22] Haven’t seen them [15:50:40] Which IDE [15:50:56] Huh? [15:51:03] PHPStorm? 🫣 [15:52:12] [1/2] Annoying in general. [15:52:12] [2/2] You should use headstart distros like EndeavourOS or Manjaro [15:56:46] both arch based, both commitments to maintenance in the longer term despite easier startup than base arch and I have special scruples with manjaro that make me distinctly discourage it [15:57:09] If I’m gonna use arch I’m gonna use it as arch [16:00:24] manjaro's true point is basically that it's a very pretty preconfig [16:00:51] don't use the AUR and otherwise don't expect more than that and it can probably serve just fine [18:00:05] [1/2] Is there anyway to use vk without an account? A group of us want to try and find a user who has been a tremendous amount of help with documenting a game. [18:00:05] [2/2] They have a yt channel but they never used it since the game shut down. [18:09:18] well, you won't be able to contact them w/o an account, only looking around [18:12:44] nearly got a fucking heart attack, clicked on my server and discord said "no channel, create one :3" [18:13:11] showed up normally after relaunch [18:29:25] [1/2] That's fine, I just want to check if an account with the username exists [18:29:26] [2/2] If it does, then one of us would make an account to contact them [18:34:10] maybe i can ask a friend w/ account to check [18:34:18] I had vk but deleted it [18:51:01] [1/2] > What server is this from [18:51:01] [2/2] there's a bunch from rinidisc at https://meow.social/@rinidisc/111333089243157952, and :xeniaHacker: is from the r/transprogrammer discord (not sure where they got it, but it appears to be in rinidisc's style so.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) [18:53:12] owait, found the rest: https://meow.social/@rinidisc/109791952664927854 [18:59:05] ✨ backups ✨ [19:03:19] paying extra to make it CC0 is actually so goated [19:03:51] real [20:39:52] Discord doesn't believe in them [20:43:30] i mean external [20:43:37] cant restore from but at least to be saved [22:49:43] you can make your own backups, but it can be a smidge tedious and needs to be done a certain way [23:40:07] There is a screaming child on the bus and I want to punt it so badly
