[01:49:48] good grief, how is Fandom usable anymore? Visiting Fandom without any kind of ad blocking is atrocious. An automatic Google sign-in pop-up in the top-right, an autoplaying video (ad video?) above the page title, interstitial ads interspersed within the article text, plus Google AdSense in at least two places [01:49:58] 🤮 [01:50:44] Fandom is awful without an adblocker. God forbid you use the mobile app... [01:51:44] @wickerbasket2540: thanks for the head's up. I generally don't wiki on mobile, but just wait till @cosmicalpha launches his WikiPortal mobile app. It's a much better experience. #shamelessfriendpromotion [01:52:28] #this [01:52:43] You're welcome for the heads-up, by the way! [01:52:52] 🙃 [02:02:28] It is publicly launched now. Just still in an open beta rather than the full stable version released lol. [02:02:52] Full stable will likely be released in about 2-4 weeks. [02:07:40] Also pending me doing privacy law due diligence on apps, which I'm hoping to have wrapped this week. [02:08:58] Thanks for your patience, all. it's a shame volunteer bandwidth doesn't grow on trees, otherwise we'd have an org sponsored orchard by now. [02:09:21] Yeah that too, and absolutely no worries about that. [03:06:29] i had a dream where the vuln was fixed [03:06:31] alas, i woke up [10:16:32] what are y'alls favorite Music wikis (can be any wikifarm but preferably Miraheze) [11:04:10] That app look like a web browser wrapper [11:12:56] monstercat and ncs wikis are really cool [11:13:04] cuz they catalog everything [11:13:26] too bad, they're fandom-occupied [11:14:05] same with the j-pop, k-pop, t-pop, etc. wikis [11:18:53] Awful, literally awful. Weird Gloop is waving [11:26:14] yeah it's shit [11:26:39] [1/2] try to read this shit [11:26:39] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1541408392688701520/image.png?ex=6a8d7bee&is=6a8c2a6e&hm=8747499973f36116e777c0b451079e159540ef3447c19e938904e2a3e93335f7& [11:27:13] even with an adblocker, it removes like half of the ux problems. you still have these massive sidebars and ad placements that aren't removed by ublock [11:37:34] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1541411139252920470/image0.jpg?ex=6a8d7e7d&is=6a8c2cfd&hm=db4da2205fc7fba8b1e47e803ef7bca0875682deb93528e9578b7d3d6e390c95& [12:06:19] [1/2] interesting fact. the last mention of "wiki" in their twitter is last year [12:06:19] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1541418376239513641/image.png?ex=6a8d853b&is=6a8c33bb&hm=767d388829162ca0eb3596e5ccbd46d0e21124c9eb67f5c64eea872e997f399d& [12:11:54] yeah because the word 'wiki' is unprofitable to them [12:12:16] and looking up the word 'wiki' will show fandom's controversies [12:16:22] Would you count heavy metal archives as a wiki? [12:16:49] It’s not built with MW but it’s a collaborative encloypedia [12:42:51] personally, i'd say yeah [12:42:55] they're pretty cool [13:04:34] lowk i dont rlly get why fandom is trying to act as some sort of news account now [13:06:44] money [13:19:23] @whostacking also, fandom's linkedin never mentions wikis [13:19:27] only communities [13:19:36] well, good, I guess [13:20:03] no need for megacorps to profit off of the word "wikis" anyway. keep this word in usage for smaller communities [13:20:04] im laughing why are they not mentioning what made them them [13:58:15] cuz it's not profitable [14:49:38] omg it's already modern internet yet we still get this almost bloated with ads website [14:50:18] I wonder where Google's punishment with website that have 80% space for ads like this [15:39:12] @cosmicalpha: oh, great. And haven't really heavily promoted it. I think it'd be a worth at least a minor announcement on Discord [16:25:04] Do they even have such a punishment? [16:25:05] Idk [16:29:06] If I remember back then then this rule exist [16:32:44] Makes sense if Fandom takes advantage of this rule to add pseudo ads and bloat [16:32:46] Probably [16:44:46] https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/-gDojQbDPRI?pli=1 [17:12:35] bruh [17:12:47] JXL lossless compression is still bad [17:15:10] Probably the only useful case for JXL right now is to lossless conversion from jpg [19:42:15] well Google is an advertising company and most of their revenue comes from advertisements 😉 [23:52:34] does anyone want capybara pics [23:55:22] Sure
