[13:56:18] Has the location for 2026 Hackathon been chosen? [13:56:34] The Wikimania one is obviously in Paris ;) [13:56:49] But no, no announcement for the standalone Hackathon [13:57:07] Wikimania scholarships are open now. But there is no news about hackathon 👀 [13:57:10] I hear the organizers are looking to make it a really good one. (re @tehreedy: The Wikimania one is obviously in Paris ;)) [13:57:26] oh also, Deb left the foundation [13:59:20] Which one? (re @nemoralis: oh also, Deb left the foundation) [13:59:31] Wikimedia Foundation. (re @cvictorovich: Which one?) [13:59:46] No, I meant which Deb [14:00:07] When I say Foundation alone, I mean Wikimedia almost always (re @Jan_ainali: Wikimedia Foundation.) [14:00:47] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:DTankersley_(WMF) (re @cvictorovich: No, I meant which Deb) [14:01:30] Seems he’s not a community member himself, only a staff? (re @Jan_ainali: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:DTankersley_(WMF)) [14:02:09] "only"? (re @cvictorovich: Seems he’s not a community member himself, only a staff?) [14:03:06] Many staffs are also community members, acting on volunteer behalf! (re @Jan_ainali: "only"?) [14:04:26] Btw, this shall become a classic quote of you. (re @Jan_ainali: Wikimedia Foundation.) [14:05:45] It’s true that I don’t know this guy at all before (re @Jan_ainali: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:DTankersley_(WMF)) [14:06:19] Deb is a woman. (re @cvictorovich: It’s true that I don’t know this guy at all before) [14:06:47] Sorry? I cannot infer from this name… (re @jhsoby: Deb is a woman.) [14:07:08] [[:en:Deb (given name)]] [14:07:51] if you don't know someone's gender, it's better to try to use gender-neutral terms like they/them and 'person' instead of 'guy' [14:11:42] Well I assume one on Wikimedia is male, unless that one manifests as female. I don’t really want to tangle with this issue. [14:12:04] This is advisable. I would do as such in the future. (re @jhsoby: if you don't know someone's gender, it's better to try to use gender-neutral terms like they/them and 'person' instead of 'guy') [14:12:48] that's a really bad assumption to make, and I'd advise you to stop doing it. It's the kind of stuff that makes women (and others) feel unwelcome (re @cvictorovich: Well I assume one on Wikimedia is male, unless that one manifests as female. I don’t really want to tangle with this issue.) [14:13:09] As this is a better way not to tangle with these issues. (re @cvictorovich: This is advisable. I would do as such in the future.) [14:13:31] thx for this comment. (re @jhsoby: that's a really bad assumption to make, and I'd advise you to stop doing it. It's the kind of stuff that makes women (and others...) [14:25:25] yes, last May [14:25:25] and there is (has been?) a job offer to replace her since June (July?), no news yet but I guess it should be soon-ish now (re @nemoralis: oh also, Deb left the foundation) [14:49:18] Forwarded from JosefAnthony: *Dear Wikimedians around the world, * [14:49:18] *We are delighted to announce that scholarship applications for *Wikimania 2026 (https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2026:Wikimania)* are now open!

I'm still trying to build a template to show audios with extra information and a "cooler" layout. And I found that audio files behave different if they have subtitles (with a popup) and if they don't (just playing those inline). [18:20:36] I think there's no way of hearing the audio inline with subtitles [19:09:59] Yes, subtitles require a drawing surface for those subtitles. (re @Galder: so... I'm still trying to build a template to show audios with extra information and a "cooler" layout. And I found that audio f...) [19:11:45] there are a couple of Phabricator tasks related to this, I think the current open one is T303387 (especially T303387#7764063) [19:16:54] Thats just for switching. Thats mostly for videos etc. [19:18:03] It wont help you with keeping audio with subs inline straight from playback start. [19:18:43] If you want a poster, add poster support to the backend. Way more reliable. [19:24:56] I'm trying another approach with phonos, so the behaviour is the same: https://eu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lankide:Theklan/Proba_orria&oldid=10400383 [19:27:01] Yeah that is different, those wont ever have subtitles. [19:34:43] yes, but you can't go back if needed [19:58:06] and I understand that changing that pop-up "black window" size or style is impossible, isn't it? For example, the size and position of the subtitles could be changed with css : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/0f1a4dab/file_73769.jpg [20:03:31] Everything can be changed, its software. But not as is. [20:04:31] This is a pretty generic setup, because my life aint got no ‘working for CNN or netflix’-money
