[11:21:01] Operator873, I do not operate the bridge. I do not admin the matrix room therefore I cannot request the bridge to bridge the channel. You seem to be oblivious about that the same people operate both the matrix room and the bidge and this channel. You seem to know also very little about Matrix yet you say things like you knew, which is disappointing. [11:21:21] If you want to learn better ask, instead of making false statements. [11:22:42] (And your clarification was borderline offensive, but that's okay, just better you're aware. I may have been on irc for longer than the average, possibly you included.) [11:22:58] phschafft, what would be the purpose of the talk? [11:23:35] I've done a few but not for companies [16:43:36] grin: we don't know how the matrix bridge works and how to fix that connection issue [16:43:36] the @wmfgc:matrix.org account you mentioned is an account created by kb after this discussion https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Matrix.org#Creating_a_shared_admin_account [16:43:36] it seems like it is an account to do what operators do in IRC, and not something that can be used to fix connection problems [16:45:11] but if that can be used to fix the issue, tell us how to use that account to do that and we will see what we can do [17:03:47] 'I may have been on irc for longer than the average, possibly you included.' oh yes. now we got into 'Do you know who I am?'-ego-war area. [17:12:32] grin: if that is all so important to you, why don't YOU reach out to the operator (read: whoever can fix it) of that bridge and kindly ask them to fix their stuff? really no need for any more discussion. [17:13:14] it is clear what needs to be done. if you want it to be done, then go and make sure it's done. end of story. [18:15:40] Yeaaahhh... grin I used to have a Matrix server too, but I removed it after the major security flaw was revealed some time ago (couple years now, i think). I am quite familiar with the system itself and your last few statements cause me to be concerned you, in fact, don't understand Matrix very well. Further, I own and maintain a server stack that [18:15:40] runs many things in my homelab. And you might have been on IRC longer, it's a possibility. I started coding bots for IRC in the late 90s when tcl/tk was about the only way to write one. I'm sorry you feel attacked, but part of owning or providing a service is taking responsibility for the failures. [18:19:35] I'm not a WMF GC, but a know a couple. I'm not a Wikidata admin, but I'm a Steward. So we both know it's unfortunate when a community member resorts to making accusations. I'm sorry you feel offended that I reminded you the GCs work with Libera and not Matrix. I'm also very sorry that you feel offended when someone asks you to take responsibility [18:19:35] for something you maintain. But "thems the beans" as they say. Your circus, your monkeys as my dad would say. [22:46:28] Hey all, [22:46:46] it seems that the wikidata SPARQL API is down? Is that correct?
