[00:02:06] Fandom is so annoying to navigate [00:03:11] I'm surprised by that statistic too [00:03:41] I should probably ask Cook someday how did he even calculate that lol [00:06:24] Mfw I get to pick the brains of people who have the time and patience to understand technical infrastructure: :bombasticsideeye: :stare: [02:07:53] we shall be the wokest discord server ever [02:17:48] I wonder if "woke" might become mainstream again and not just a buzzword for things specific people don't like. [02:18:03] What is 'woke' even [02:18:17] afaik it's a term some alt-right coined [02:18:24] Nah [02:18:46] It was coined by African American civil rights activists in the 70s or 60s [02:19:16] It meant to be aware of the underlining currents of American oppression, more or less [02:19:37] Woke, in short, is to be aware of social injustices and inequality [02:19:51] Ala, "waking up" [02:20:07] If briefly resurged as a conspiratorial term before co-opted by the right [02:21:08] The right uses the word to be critical of any liberal, social justice, "socialist/commie" talk [02:21:53] why does groyper horde have to ruin anything it comes across [02:22:26] [1/2] i can't lie but adding "Free" and then "ad-free" sounds weird [02:22:26] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1499959221268254810/image.png?ex=69f6b162&is=69f55fe2&hm=388efa5a4a286cd4221a55de4355a6336a7c9fcb8e113d63f7b45d8fa83df8a5& [02:22:41] Which in-turn, had liberals use the term to criticize the right of "anything I don't like" [02:22:58] So... Now it just became a buzzword than what the word actually meant. [02:23:24] also wikioasis' site looks visually vibe-coded to a degree [02:23:37] That’s how most slang tends to go [02:25:07] Now we have even more social-polices-turned-buzzwords, like DEI... [02:25:52] Yes, that's what I meant [02:26:23] Usually when I read "woke" it's in an alt-right context, at least here [02:27:22] But it's an umbrella word for everything they dislike lol [02:27:36] has anyone read conservapedia [02:27:42] specifically the article on nato [02:27:46] Social progress is scary 🙁 [02:28:26] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1499960728981868696/image_2026-04-14_174355885.png?ex=69f6b2c9&is=69f56149&hm=b1f06c1bddbc0545d70ec69df32ad5593649b5cd6fdbf0ca6d60b42fdca4ff77& [02:28:28] I did do a research paper on why the Internet seems to be leaning more right-wing since the early 2020s, and well it's due to algorithms and sensationalist news, and since the acquisition of Twitter, people who just made their account will have a default right-wing slant. [02:28:34] -# it's also incredibly slow [02:28:54] i'm sorry but i've just scrolled to the background section and laughed out loud [02:28:57] they can't be serious [02:29:16] the russia (and the bible) part has no reason to be funnier than it is [02:29:32] like yes specifically russia (and the bible) [02:29:54] -# Russia isn't even apart of NATO, what? [02:30:11] remember, we bombed the shit out of yugoslavia to hold a massive pride parade [02:30:39] sooner or later we gon get citations to the old testament about landmines [02:30:56] I think the funniest thing about consverapesia is the user pages are still done in a mostly standard wiki “style” with people being like “feel free to reach out if you need help or advice :)” [02:31:36] Further proves my point of why the Internet seems more right-winged, echo chambers. [02:31:46] gay parades??? yay!!! [02:31:55] "yes i went up to jesus christ himself he told me that we had to put anti-personnel mines in women's bathrooms to prevent trans people from entering. what do you mean itll blow up the cis women?" [02:31:58] [1/2] not even uncyclopedia could dream of this [02:31:58] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1499961617415409735/image.png?ex=69f6b39d&is=69f5621d&hm=c458c7d3f0c61433f55a89110a2e7b9f11a4ce20ed6926e98eebaf16737726c9& [02:33:14] on the "eye" article there is a specific section about how many times the word eye appears in the bible [02:33:32] over 700 times, if you wanted to know [02:35:16] -# I don't even wanna know what Conservapedia's full wiki is like. [02:35:39] -# At least use Rationalwiki or smthn /hj [02:36:20] They apparently rewrote the line in the Bible where Jesus denounced rich men [02:36:27] You can’t make this stuff up man [02:36:33] That's blasphemy. [02:38:40] I'm honeslty kinda glad I don't read the news much anymore. [02:39:57] The extent to which the Christianity-appropriating right wing has fucked things up is truly mind-boggling. [02:40:46] It gives me some hope that people are starting to talk about it more. [02:42:03] Speaking of bibles and wikis. I used to know this absolute scum bag on fandom. Terrible guy, and I found he was banned on the Bible fandom wiki because he creeped out th staff there by asking for advice on how to overthrow his government and install a theocracy [02:42:33] Not every country can be the Vatican City, ouff. [02:42:54] Good grief, talk about saying the quiet part out loud. [02:42:56] isnt christianity the fandom for the bible [02:43:27] Any of the Abrahamic faiths texhnically [02:43:41] To varying extents [02:43:52] I have seen it suggested that Dante's Inferno is self-insert Bible fanfic. 😛 [02:44:50] https://tenor.com/view/dante-dantes-inferno-inferno-airborne-jump-gif-15829191685170983739 [02:45:10] I’m so brainrotted my first association with Dante’s inferno is the god of war clone they made [02:45:33] I always see Hell as just being one's personal anguishes and fears cranked to 11. [02:46:00] Nothing but little green men for me 😔 [02:46:13] I am not religious in any way, but if I imagined Hell that's what I think it would be. [02:46:34] Poor Glep [02:46:54] I’m somewhere in the Christian-gnostic spectrum [02:47:33] what do you guys think of ubuntu [02:47:51] Never used Linux. [02:48:06] Never used Linux. [02:48:27] Also never used Linux. [02:48:43] Also also never used Linux. [02:48:48] oh okay [02:49:14] what do you guys think of windows, then? [02:49:21] Never used Windows. [02:49:31] WHat theck [02:49:43] They let fresh air in. 😁 [02:50:02] I'm a AC boi [02:50:25] my cat demands my windows be open [02:50:34] It works [02:51:13] This was my second answer, to be real. [02:51:32] Not that it works, "It just works." [02:52:05] only good because everything supports it [02:52:15] one day i WILL switch to linux [02:52:31] I'll never switch, I'll just mod my Windows. [02:53:01] Been accustomed to it since I was a eeby beeby baby boy. [02:53:07] -# of win xp [02:53:46] I have trouble getting past the stereotype of Linux users from like the 90s, tbh. [02:54:23] Whimsical penguin enjoyers? [02:54:29] Never used Mac [02:54:40] Never used used. [02:54:46] wdym [02:55:13] Up their own butts about how smart they were, more or less. [02:55:44] Despite their half-cobbled together systems barely doing anything. [02:56:15] I feel like that stereotype sort of died, at least I haven’t met many annoying Linux types in quite some years. [02:56:21] Granted, it's been a very long time since then, haha. [02:56:26] I don't understand software wars... and hardware wars. [02:56:42] Granted I will say I dealt with a lot of those kinds of people when I was a teenager [02:57:00] I speak from the limited experience of having known my ex from high school. [02:57:54] never meet any of those tbh [02:58:05] zorin os looks quite friendly [02:58:06] Also my dad to an extent, but he's dabbled in everything. [02:59:18] Neat. [03:00:14] by far my [favorite ](https://zorin.com/os/) linux distribution [03:03:45] Like Xyxan, I pretty much grew up on Windows, thanks to Dad being a relatively early adopter of the home PC. I remember floppy discs that were actually floppy, haha. Nowadays the most demanding thing I want my laptop to do is run _Skyrim_. [03:05:29] I only remember running CD-ROMs, and I even found an old PC my oldest brother had that he claims doesn't work with a CD-ROM drive still installed. [03:06:28] I definitely burned a CD or two back in the day. [03:07:02] -# I never knew how to. [03:07:39] Either way, I've been thinking this Summer I might diagnose it and see if I can turn it on. [03:07:46] -# prolly sell it too. [03:08:36] Good luck! Sounds like it could be a fun project. [03:10:31] Reminds me a bit of an old fanfic about a guy booting up an old computer to find the life-simulator game on it (_Creatures_) had taken on a life of its own. [03:11:12] Like the Norns had gained sentience. [03:11:59] I Have No Mouth But I Must Shaloob [03:14:12] Im boop. 🙂 [08:33:20] more fine than not, believe it or not, although now that they've got an ai boner I'm souring on the position more [08:51:02] I use Ubuntu [09:18:12] I use Ubuntu [09:47:58] I use it everyday [09:48:19] set up my desktop PC as a headless build server with ubuntu server + tailscale + ssh [09:48:31] i dont daily drive ubuntu but ive used it a great deal for dev stuff and its great [09:49:44] windows genuinely lags on every task [09:50:13] u can really feel the difference between the 2 [09:56:45] yeah it helps to disable windows defender [11:38:33] Is the current request for feedback open to newer users? Also when does the comment period end? [11:39:22] open to everyone and no set period but probably around a week [14:39:34] Normalize implementimg gradients inside buttons, they're awesome [14:44:54] The industry is slowly coming back to it [15:10:53] What mistakes do you think new users make with their wikis? [15:11:32] styling over content [15:13:17] wikipedia imports [15:14:03] How much styling do you think os too much? [15:14:12] Yes, I hear people do that a lot [15:14:13] oh my god we catgirled my mi~nyan [15:14:19] great success [15:14:21] ... ? [15:16:25] nya~ [15:16:25] Animated backgrounds is way too far idk so many newer wikis use it [15:18:06] People use ainmated backgrounds [15:18:33] A few [15:19:06] And also I think way too many wikis focus on aesthetics to the point where the main text is hard to read [15:19:19] SpongeBob wiki used to be real bad about that idk if they still are [15:22:26] none if you know what ur doing [15:22:53] many users i see here will make a wiki with "i want it to look like " [15:23:08] they cant figure out the styling, then give up entirely [15:24:27] i gave up on the styling, but that's because i can't design 😎 [15:24:41] relatable [15:32:29] I tend to limit to just colors and borders [15:32:39] Very slight graphic elements for logos and stud [15:32:59] But I’m generally anti-embedding dozens of pictures [15:33:15] Just slows things down for people without supercomputers [15:34:18] https://tenor.com/view/cat-scared-gif-27466237 [17:38:39] In some cases, leaving them empty forever [21:15:15] I would say not knowing how to edit said wiki.
