[00:41:57] [28/09/2025 10:40] https://x0.at/l0iz.jpg heh, the post date [04:49:49] do you guys suggest for wikis to have Discord servers? [05:13:23] Almost always yes [05:13:36] Much as I love wiki based communication [05:30:53] Especially gaming wikis where most gamers are using discord already [08:49:59] check out this client side captcha https://www.telstrawholesale.com.au/3G-Network-Closure-Blocked-Devices-Checker.html [08:50:10] https://www.telstrawholesale.com.au/etc/designs/tw/global/js/telstra/captcha.js premier web dev [08:56:19] brilliant. [08:56:41] i'm with an mvno on telstra's network :D [09:34:38] [1/17] I was looking through some old MGP jokes and some of them can be adapted here. [09:34:38] [2/17] > A Miraheze bureaucrat is teaching a new admin how to combat vandalism: warnings, blocks, IP blocks, range blocks, and finally, 3 simple web pages. [09:34:38] [3/17] > The admin is confused: "why are you showing me some web page? Are they more powerful than all the previous ones shown?" [09:34:39] [4/17] > The bureaucrat explains: "Oh, these are server-wide anti-abuse measures. They are called gateway timeout, database connection error, and wiki undergoing unscheduled maintenance." [09:34:39] [5/17] Here's another one [09:34:39] [6/17] > A fa*m executive joins an advertising division meeting to discuss ad revenue. He asks "can we change the way we deploy ads to consistently increase revenue by, for example, 5% per month?". [09:34:40] [7/17] > "Of course", answered the VP of the division. [09:34:40] [8/17] > The executive is thrilled. "Very good. You will all get a pay raise if you can pull it off. How about a 10% growth". [09:34:40] [9/17] > "No problem". Replied the VP. [09:34:40] [10/17] > "20%?". [09:34:41] [11/17] > "Yes!". [09:34:41] [12/17] > "50%?". [09:34:41] [13/17] > "Yes!". [09:34:42] [14/17] > "70%?". [09:34:42] [15/17] > "No!". [09:34:43] [16/17] > "Why is that?". [09:34:43] [17/17] > "Because there'd be nothing left on wiki pages except ads". [09:36:03] I'm sure fa*m users have written a fair amount of jokes about the company. Unfortunately I don't know where to find them. [11:29:26] Yes, unless the official game server has a wiki channel [11:31:50] e.g. the Vampire Survivors Wiki has full official dev support with a wiki forum in the official server, so a separate Discord server isn't necessary, but Balatro Wiki doesn't have official support at all, which is why they have their own server [11:43:10] There are some occasional Fandom-related posts joking about the platform and/or criticizing it when I try to find posts discussing the world of wikis [11:45:34] And tbh, I wouldn't be surprised if a Fandom executive discussed something like this irl. In fact, on their LinkedIn, they have barely discussed their wiki platform, if at all. It's only stuff that shareholders would care about. [13:43:40] Agreed! My wiki has a channel in the official Discord for it's game and it's very nice to easily get community feedback on things [13:48:26] [1/2] Yeah [13:48:26] [2/2] Which wiki is this? [13:49:36] https://detectivebeebo.miraheze.org/wiki/Detective_Beebo_Wiki [13:52:22] that's fair, my wiki doesn't have an official server 😄 [13:55:42] some wiki communities are very talkative, let's say, and discord server is the best solution + easier to coordinate wiki workflow methinks [13:58:04] yeah on-wiki communication isn't very well suited to rapid back-to-back yapping [13:58:46] also have to make it look somewhat proper while as here I can forget about grammar entirely if I want to [14:00:47] also moderating yapping on wiki amongst normal wiki activities is pain in the ass [14:01:20] and lest we forgot how disastrous fandom discussions are [14:30:54] https://x.com/Psy_Son/status/1967914691893793210 [14:34:04] Thank God that, in my case on Fandom, even the wikis with the most activity/content rarely have Discussions [14:34:56] That's why I don't usually work on Roblox wikis, cuz those wikis (on Fandom at least) would be a hell to moderate [15:16:39] hell yeah [15:20:32] shout out to all the official game servers that have a wiki channel [15:42:47] I remember seeing the social activity for the _pokemon_ wiki and it was less active than pre-migration Battle Cats wiki. And then I saw some fandom Roblox wikis and they each had like an entire post a minute, it was completely insane [15:44:10] I always thought fandom discussions were fine. Maybe because they were less active than Discord, so I could actually somewhat keep up with them [15:54:25] PHIGHTING! too [15:54:54] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1421887905181335572/image.png?ex=68daabcd&is=68d95a4d&hm=49233503c38e020d36901c5f18ddff300996c2aee46971226c0da3ac601a1226& [15:55:20] yeah it was tolerable in my case, it's like a post or 2 per year, if at all, and that's totally fine haha [15:56:13] awesome [15:56:39] yeah, kids being kids [16:59:16] cringe shit, but fine I guess, you're the mods [17:01:00] but I will be interested in what you define as politics however, given everything is political [17:01:45] Where it becomes a problem is when people argue the same point over and over again and clog up offtopic with sematics, which is what was happening [17:02:34] Still waiting on mod inputs to see how we want to handle this going forward, though [17:02:37] I mean, I checked the logs and highly disagree, but sure [17:06:21] remove servo and youtube-dl and arguably gecko because most people do not use it and I'd say accurate [17:07:02] Hi [17:07:11] Gah, does gecko even still get updates? [17:07:18] Gecko? [17:07:21] when Apple finally allows JITs in iOS we could maybe add webkit to the chopping block, although I have a feeling iOS users will stay 50/50 Safari/Chrome [17:07:53] JITs? [17:10:19] Oh neat, I had thought firefox switched to chromium/blink behind the scenes, glad to see that's not the case [17:10:40] technical stuff for how web browsers make content appear [17:11:33] Just in Time, a method for software compilation/execution when a program is needed [17:11:39] Gecko seems to be fairly used tbh [17:12:41] Uh, how does the JS and Lua on Mediawiki work? [17:13:04] that's why I said arguably, there are countries out there where Firefox has the edge but globally Chrome has been sitting on the throne for a while now [17:13:30] Also, I am in bosh'tet - I use Chrome as FireFox was laggy/slow to boot up for me [17:13:41] on MediaWiki, the JS depends on the browser but all of the ones people use use a hybrid interpreter/JIT approach to JavaScript execution [17:13:42] wish there was a third thing (safari can suck it) 😔 [17:14:10] I aways found JWB really useful [17:14:11] for Lua on MediaWiki that is ran on the servers, and I believe interpreters [17:14:43] It's like 20% of market in France (computer only) [17:14:48] JWB just means I can sit and click a button and over and over and over until I manage to do eveythinfg - saves me from 900 vroswer tabs [17:15:22] it's far behind chrome but still a big part [17:15:33] I dislike firefox anyway [17:16:30] I had to twiddle my thumbs while it connected to the Internet/loaded stuff very slowly and I gave up and when back to Chrome [17:16:34] i'm glad we have firefox or it'd all be a chromium slopfest [17:16:51] I hate chromium browser [17:16:59] and qt-webengine are meh [17:17:17] I am now imagining this as a monster truck rally at a fictional arena called the chromadome [17:17:40] gamemode: juggernaut [17:17:59] tiny firefox truck vs big humongous chrome truck [17:18:11] david vs goliath really [17:18:18] except david is bankrolled by goliath for some reason [17:21:06] it's probably because Google can point at Firefox if it is claimed there's a monopoly [17:21:32] yyyyyyyyyyyyup [17:21:36] at least someone learned from IE [17:23:15] I'm gonna give a hot take on browsers [17:23:27] making browsers is hard, like as hard as making an OS [17:23:31] aren't you always giving hot takes [17:23:49] at least in this case it ain't really a hot take tbh [17:23:53] I think as they get more and more complicated it gets harder and harder for anyone to enter the market without being a Chromium reskin [17:23:58] Personally waiting for https://ladybird.org/ [17:24:36] run by fascists unfortunately [17:24:37] therefore my problem with Chromium is not specifically that it holds a de-facto monopoly, but rather that it is controlled by an advertising agency really [17:24:47] Is it? [17:25:02] some hotter than others [17:25:43] https://drewdevault.com/2025/09/24/2025-09-24-Cloudflare-and-fascists.html [17:29:47] Brb building my own browser [17:33:28] good luck, let me know when you catched up to all the standards and de-facto standards in 30 years 😂 [17:34:16] new mediawiki extendion [17:34:24] call it browserv2 [17:36:06] Miraoweser [17:56:34] I GOT TWO PINTS OF BEN AND JERRY'S FOR 7 EUROS [17:56:39] WON THE FUCKING LOTTERY TODAY!!!! [18:00:51] 🤑 [18:10:30] Unnnnnfortunate [18:10:42] wow gg [18:14:55] OH HELL YEAH [18:16:01] this girl will do unspeakable acts of ice cream chugging [18:41:56] NICE [20:01:13] i wonder if we can get discounted estrogen [20:01:30] yeah so there's this cool thing called the grey market [20:01:39] i said discounted [20:01:51] just go steal some crypto [20:01:54] there's your discount [20:01:57] touche [20:02:02] go do some funny XSS attacks [20:55:40] Please no crime [20:56:24] just steal from criminals, what are they gonna do? report it? [20:56:44] (do not take advice from me) [20:58:41] technically, distribution of E is illegal...
