[02:01:30] Fun fact, those aren't legal tender anymore lmao. [02:01:45] I think they're basically just fancy paper sheets. [02:15:36] Set a deadline for myself today to finish my wiki's new css today for the 17th, and then proceeded to accidently finish the css today bc the last things to do were easier than I thought :angel_laugh: [02:15:51] And now I get to wait til the 18th to properly publish it for everyone bc I like giving my community warning for big changes like this lol [06:02:50] Watched a video about it [06:02:56] Real shady [06:03:19] yep [06:03:26] I would certainly say it's the real shady [06:03:35] perhaps even a slim shady [06:04:17] Was watching a video on dobby's grave, which made me curious and pull up this page [06:05:07] I'm no Harry Potter fan though, not that I dislike it, though JKR is such a crazy woman... [06:06:28] DOBBY DIES???? [06:06:36] NOoOOOOO WHY WOULD YOU SAY tHATTTTT [06:06:39] ARGHHHHH [06:37:39] That's some real slimey stuff FanDOOM is pulling here. [06:38:49] https://vampire.survivors.wiki/images/Animated-Keremet.gif?bc2ef [06:39:13] https://vampire.survivors.wiki/images/Animated-ECMASlime.gif?36656 [06:39:30] DOOM. [06:39:38] DummyFandoomTags [06:40:25] Everyone calls Fandom "FanDOOM". My Discord server calls them that name and it fits so well. [06:40:38] I censor f*ndom [06:40:54] because it is a bad word [06:41:10] ###### also works. [06:41:19] just like the word "fork" is the ultimate bad word at fandom [06:41:24] as a miraheze global volunteer I am bound by oath to hate fandoom with all my heart [06:41:48] TPG ruined Fandoom [06:42:25] and to think in an alternate universe it would still be innocent Wikia.... [06:42:42] believe it or not but they hated wikia too [06:42:56] yeah, Wikia wasn't great [06:43:11] but it was decent enough for me to use it and contribute to wikis there [06:43:56] without worrying about having to rebuild or fork from an increasingly enshittifying site [06:44:30] fandoooooooooooommmmm [06:44:34] mmmmm [06:44:36] sandwich [06:44:39] I'm hungry [06:44:58] anyways, there's legit zero reasons as to why fandom has to keep their fandom counterparts of forked wikis [06:45:39] I don't even get why, honestly. ASIDE from money. A dead zombie wiki is a deleted wik in my ears. [06:45:47] that seems obvious to us? though, their only argument in this would be less revenue [06:46:56] which is true, but they can close off like a thousand of those fandom counterparts and only have a bit of a decrease in their massive profit margins [06:48:15] like instead of the shareholders having to buy 4 lamborghinis, they would only be able to afford 3 [06:48:48] True. [06:56:43] Wowza. [08:10:20] [1/2] praying that i don't get lost day 1 of going to the uni lol [08:10:20] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1537010323435946064/33DAB67F-5214-49DA-A502-E93D8D1B6BC3.png?ex=6a7d7be9&is=6a7c2a69&hm=c50a036d954994b68d935dc513ba8bb7720fbeb1ee9c9e6ee9af9849726d9502& [08:49:57] I mean it kinda depend if you have a great sense of direction or not, but in my experience it generally goes well :) [09:20:28] My advice would be, if you can, go and see the main buildings you'll need ahead of time. [09:20:44] Find a couple of routes between them. [09:20:48] That sort of thing. [09:51:12] [1/3] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OXMnLscGNg okay i'm very pissed... [09:51:12] [2/3] ||I saw a kid literally unplugging their parent's life support on 6:14|| [09:51:12] [3/3] i think it could be fake, but the possibility of this happening is just horrendous and show how flawed is parenting and society currently is [09:57:12] The low-resolution is so Vietnamese. [09:57:51] frfr [10:57:17] Bear in mind that any video of this kind is designed to provoke a reaction because that's what creates engagement and makes them money. [11:05:30] falling for the bait then posting it here is certainly something [11:10:59] yeah i don't mind when someone shows me society sucks [11:11:11] idm if i fall the bait as long it's an actual problem [11:11:14] not a big deal for me [11:36:07] It took me about a week to get used to the layout of my college. [11:36:50] I got lost once after that when I was at a spot I’ve never been to. Usually typical tricks work, figure out the placement of at least a few buildings and landmarks and don’t be afraid to ask staff. [12:16:23] the problem is that its there to show you problems that are exaggerated out of their context and extrapolated to apply everywhere when it probably doesn't [12:17:21] kid unplugging life support, well they're kids, kids finding a gun and creating a fatal accident is a much more visceral and pretty old story; kid learns the word ipad well yeah, its 2026, it happens [12:17:29] I mean it don't think parenting has gotten worse, just that now some parents let kid on ipad when they dont want to manage them, and before they were doing something else [12:17:36] all of these gen videos are about generational warfare, not any meaningful resolution to a problem [12:17:40] I mean, the hospital probably has oversight to prevent the child unplugging it [12:18:00] I would hope so and if not that is certainly something on the hospital [12:18:42] there are indeed problems and shit needs to be put together but it needs to be approached in a so how do we actually improve this way, not consuming outrage content like a stereotypical gen whatever because every gen falls for that crap [12:18:45] Also, while I think Gen Beta needs more parenting, the majority of them haven’t even entered primary school, so we probably need to wait a bit more until we make a conclusive judgement [12:19:03] parenting is buggered in the first place [12:19:11] I mean i dont think they have less parenting than generation before tbh [12:19:16] people work more, have less time, still lost on the basics [12:19:26] Probably just their parents have a change in their methods [12:19:28] Or some other reason [12:19:33] parents need more resources to parent better systemically in the first place [12:19:38] Yeah [12:19:46] Which leads to reduced children’s and falling demographics [12:19:53] education being on the downslide, work-life balance getting broken in the social contract, those are your problems [12:19:57] Like in South Korea where my homeland has like a 0.2 replacement rate [12:20:08] those create the symptoms of bad kids at large who are being done dirty [12:20:13] Yeah [12:20:43] schools have major adaption to do between technology and living circumstances, and if they don't, then indeed they will content farm videos about misbehavior and fewer people having any patience to teach [12:20:53] Oh yeah [12:20:58] and most of the time the teachers or even individual schools themselves can do very little about this [12:21:02] Schools in America in particular feel very neglected sometimes [12:21:23] I mean, go to South Korea or Finland, and the balance between technology and discipline is very fixated to optimize education [12:21:30] Of course, thats only part of the issue [12:22:14] Oh, and also the fact that the increasing consumerism for the past several decades is absolutely screwing us over [12:22:20] But that’s expected I guess(?) [12:22:22] schooling in the us for a long time has been an utter joke at scale [12:23:24] When I’m in the US, the school I go to had roughly six or so shutdown days because of infrastructural damage [12:23:29] I am very lucky for where I'm at because most people in my surroundings have several jobs, they are overfull on obligations, the market sucks, corps continue putting the squeeze, etc [12:23:45] Damn [12:23:56] seeing geriatrics having to work full time because retirement is already broken is sad [12:24:08] And then realizing you’ll one day become those said geriatrics [12:24:12] and at the going rate retirement is dead anyway long before I get there [12:24:22] Yeah [12:24:41] The entire labor system of the US is screwed over by corporate and government incentives [12:24:44] But also other factirs [12:25:17] short of a major restructure I will die working or in some other manner that certainly does not resemble the obsolete american dream of retire in a nice house, unless I leap into a class that plays the system which fuels the cycle screwing people facing that scenario [12:25:47] The entire labor system of the US is screwed over by corporate and government incentives [12:26:04] Basically the US is screwed [12:26:22] But then we get into the conversation of “how to fix the US” wherein this will devolve into madness [12:26:28] Partially because we don’t fully know how to [12:26:40] so there is a lot to be done and basically every video that plucks out 'gen whatever is brainrotted' examples is feeding the symptoms and not showing or motivating you towards addressing the problems that lead to those examples being common [12:26:51] Damn [12:26:59] This is why I’m moving back to South Korea when I’m older lol [12:27:03] It’s not perfect there [12:27:04] and I should not dive any further than that because 'how to US better' becomes an all time partisan conversation I do not have the temperament for [12:27:34] Fair [12:28:12] realistically I have no idea what to expect from europe which is on its own curve that may not be for the better, or the rest of the world over the next few decades perhaps aside from the rise of asian-based powers with greater global scale like china taking advantage of the US alienating itself or India becoming a more major player on the worldwide stage [12:28:16] and the US idek [12:28:50] For now, it just looks like the US is caught between keeping its position as the “global liaison” or retiring to become less involved [12:28:57] Either way, there’ll be severe consequences [12:29:07] I probably should stop there to not get into messy politics [12:29:16] it is probably best [12:29:25] Anywho [12:29:27] Uhhhh [12:29:35] thinks of a less depressing topic [12:29:40] I like ducks [12:29:48] 🦆 [12:29:52] They are very ducky [12:43:06] unless they're alt account ducks [12:43:15] then again if they quack it makes my job easier [12:51:53] https://klipy.com/gifs/boop-beak [12:52:18] @crystalite13 this has been known for 20 years atp, it's like knowing Darth Vader's relation to Luke Skywalker [12:55:17] https://vampire.survivors.wiki/images/Animated-Moon_Duck.gif?ee815 [13:54:41] i wonder why are they called ducks in the first place, based on an animal [13:54:47] i should probably look that up [13:54:53] [[WP:DUCK]] [13:54:53] https://meta.miraheze.org/wiki/WP:DUCK [13:54:54]

[13:55:25] yeah, basically that [15:48:56] what the hell, Chinese just released 2.4T A95B open source model [15:49:06] https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B [15:50:07] Does anyone know the documentations for special:contribute?

[15:52:33] Peking duck... [15:52:35] Roasted duck... [15:52:38] Grilled duck... [17:45:51] <.labster, replying to karpeth> Only thing I've found so far: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Hooks/ContributeCards [18:24:04] they're trying so hard to make the appearance look like mobile [18:25:26] [1/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1537165129307783309/Screenshot_2026-08-13_010908-1.webp?ex=6a7e0c15&is=6a7cba95&hm=49df2bdac0dd2937011fd84d2125db19264c910f403792430f917f9b7a0c2a01& [18:25:26] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1537165129660113109/Screenshot_2026-08-13_011017.png?ex=6a7e0c16&is=6a7cba96&hm=21dc2ab2d467d3536a6d77661256730e105e51290b54edbdf14be6c5c762c3d6& [19:34:34] hey, i joined because of the sinner maker wikia, does anybody have the link to the official server? [19:47:57] This is a wiki hosting server, you might have better luck if that specific wiki has a discord server or equivalent. [20:34:21] the wiki itself should have a link indeed [22:12:24] Thanks! So, there’s no way to turn it off or add cards without extensions? [22:17:03] I guess you can use JavaScript to redirect users automatically to another page or add cards. [22:19:45] the current design of the special page is awful [22:20:29] it's simply a soft redirect to special:wantedpages [22:21:09] +1 for doing a soft redirect to a special page. Hard redirects to special pages are a bad thing imho [22:22:48] what's the point of soft redirecting a special page to another [22:59:51] <.labster> ContentTranslations and GrowthExperiments both add cards (https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:ContributeCards_extensions )
