Seven years on Meta.SE as of today

Congrats, does it feel worthwhile?

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog Condolences.

@AndreascondemnsIsrael @ElementsInSpace ^

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog cheers!

@ElementsInSpace why?

@PetəíŕdtheWizard Because meta.

@ElementsInSpace You should totally d-

@PetəíŕdtheWizard brews a cup of Americano for @meta

@ShadowWizard I've tried some cleaning yesterday. Verdict: The thing is waaaaaay too gross. It's in the bin now. Shame. I'd like to have kept it.

@Tinkeringbell What are you going to do when Y2K hits?

@ElementsInSpace I've got a lighter and some other candles? :P

Oh, and a 'knijpkat' (squeeze cat :P)

Pierre Bonnard’s Le chat blanc

@Tinkeringbell ah, sorry to hear! :(

Yeah, too bad. To be honest, it was kind-of to be expected, but that's a story for another time/place :P

@Tinkeringbell well, sometimes best to let go of the past. Probably. :D

Yeah

No. Go back in time, prevent Y2K from ever happening. Then the kit will never be used, and you can keep it for decades probably (before it goes mouldy).

@balpha youtu.be/1Wzkb_3d9NA?t=73 ?

@ElementsInSpace That's not what happened to said kit, but the idea is a nice one ;-)

It’s hard to get every setting right on a time machine.

@AndreascondemnsIsrael I mean, it could be worth digging if you really wanted to find out who is in the blue mod team and who is in the red mod team. Since it is quite clear that the mods are not a cohesive group

@ꓢPArcheon Also a matter of which mods can be bothered to keep track of what's happening, how much leaks due to frustration...

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog That link never loads, so I don't know what it is, but if it's the SE server, I left that long ago.

since when do logged in user have to do verification?

first time I'm seeing this

Doing a lot of things fast?

Not really just posted this feature request meta.stackexchange.com/q/404838/1422281

Only Sonic can do that.

@ꓢPArcheon I'm not that interested.

@Spevacus why remove the legitimate-intrests tag?

See, I just disengage instead.

There's no point in fighting a wholly unnecessary fight that I get nothing from.

@A-Tech Because I think your question can be adequately tagged with the existing tags regarding cookies, or [legal] if you wanted to cover more bases. We don't need a new tag for a subset of a subset like this IMO.

I was actually thinking of making a meta post to merge all of our [cookie-*] tags together into [cookies]. Dunno what the abstraction gets us.

i see

Generally I'd save tag creation for "big" things if you can. For example, someone made a community-asks-sprint tag, which certainly qualifies as a worthy addition. Until/unless SE stops doing it, that is...

In other words: Stuff that you can't categorize with the existing tags.

Ah, that's reasonable. It means we need a few new tags! good, bad, we-hate-this, perplexing, just-purely-insane...

@Spevacus Fascinating, personally when tagging thing I try to be as narrow/specific as possible. But I can see the your approach as well.

@AndreascondemnsIsrael I mean you do have the privileges to re-tag all questions accordingly :)

I would humbly ask that you do not retag things with just-purely-insane <3

@Spevacus absolutely-crazy, then.

@A-Tech Let me find a collection of all posts about genAI...

It's been done.

@SonictheAnonymousHedgehog The link leads to this: i.sstatic.net/2AgZzzM6.png

@AndreascondemnsIsrael perhaps private server? Never got to understand Discord or how it works.

@AndreascondemnsIsrael The core of the message (copy-pasting portions) for those who can't see that msg (it's on the Meta discussion discord in the meta discussion channel): A system is only as good as the people running it are, and that if those using it are dissatisfied with it, then that reflects negatively on the system as well. If the people running the system remain unresponsive to those trying to use it, the system degrades as a result.

Sonic's scaled back his participation a decent bit starting around a bit over a year ago.

The context of Sonic's message was shortly after some layoffs hit the CM team.

@Spevacus Thanks. :)

@ShadowWizard But you’re an IT person!

I don’t really like Discord, I’m just there because of Codidact and because I decided to catch up with some guys I played games with a decade ago.

I recall some time ago arguing with you (not extensively just a little) about Discord's privacy stuff

I used to boycott it.

Did the need to connect with your old friends outweigh your objections to it?

@AndreascondemnsIsrael Btw, I’m not particularly happy with the deletion of this comment, as it was a response stating I’m in disagreeance with a comment that I feel misrepresents my views.

@Spevacus I was already at Discord by then.

@AndreascondemnsIsrael which dislikes Discord! :P

Dislike-Cord

@AndreascondemnsIsrael Awp. That was me. I must've fat-fingered because I don't recall deleting it. Undeleted now.

@Spevacus brb tagging the front page with it

We typically leave overarching conversations on controversial posts like that be for awhile until discussion dies down, then go in and trim the excess. A lot of posts have pending "Too many comments (auto)" flags on them that we just leave pending until the comment flow stops.

@Spevacus Thanks for undoing it, though. :) I’d understand why it would be considered for cleanup, as it isn’t that substantive. I’d rather the whole comment section is just moved to chat at this point.

@Spevacus one of those things that drove me a little nuts even if it made sense :D

I like zero flags in the queue

@JourneymanGeek So nuke the queue.

@JourneymanGeek Oh my gosh same. When rene and I got appointed we cleared the queue, which was nice to have a clean slate, and then someone explained the benefit of leaving the too-many-comments flags around for a bit as a postmark to revisit things later. Then the company started doing things that solicit a bunch of comments and... Here we are :^)

As I said, it makes sense :D

Meta is a lot less clear cut to moderate than SU is

I just loaded up 1000 tabs in Firefox. That made my router crash. Piece of trash.

Oops, the online store didn't like that, and blocked me. At least not IP-banned, it seems like.

0_0

try only 900 tabs

DDG errored out as if I was doing a DOS attack on them.

@ElementsInSpace I have at least 10 000 more.

@AndreascondemnsIsrael caught this online, same game, mobile VS pc version

@ꓢPArcheon Utopian vs dystopian?

That was, ehm... not a small difference.

@AndreascondemnsIsrael I'm thinking to turn this into a meme like "How they see AI generated answers vs How I see AI generated answers"

Sure.

I've just played (almost finished) the Dead Space Remake. It looks gorgeous, and looking at some gameplay comparisons with the original version, this one is definitely more immersive and better. But still, the difference is vastly less than in that picture. Graphically speaking.

That said, the bottom version is a bit too happy and relaxing for how you see AI answers.

@AndreascondemnsIsrael I thin the issue is that it is not the same picture but "low rest". Stuff is simply missing....

Where are all the flowers??

Heightmap is still present.

The log bench is there!

All the vital stuff.

to be honest, the second one seems taken at a different time.

Foggy

but someone else had to fix it.

mhm

The difference is still egregious

Why are the left rocks so low-poly and low-resolution?

what can I say, I just stumbled on this on reddit

Why are you crawling around their datacenter?!

@AndreascondemnsIsrael I have more than that sometimes

Thanks, manage my tab history, then.

@AndreascondemnsIsrael because it is funny to look at people rants on the gacha channel.

@ꓢPArcheon Should've seen the rants on the "wokedness of Dead Space Remake".

I'm a flower.

@AndreascondemnsIsrael Oh, sometime I look at the "gamer-gate" mess.

And it is quite pathetic. You can find my takes in the other room.

mhm

@AndreascondemnsIsrael the best part is that since this is supposed to be a dress collecting "kawaii" gacha... the missing flowers really hurt the final product.

@ꓢPArcheon Dress collecting game? Where's the fun in that?

Suppose to be selling a flowery, fairy cute pink game but thanks to the low res there are no flower, there is no "fairy" aesthetic because all the decorations aren't rendered and there is no pink because all what remain is the low res brownish ground texture

I kinda like brown.

@AndreascondemnsIsrael I guess it is just "chill" game with no real combat? You know, like you building stuff in minecraft, them going around cute places and taking pictures.

@AndreascondemnsIsrael 💩

mhm...

@JourneymanGeek I can throw one in your face.

I mean, just watch at how some players decorated their Animal Crossing New Horizon islands for example. Sometime it almost doesn't feel like the same game

She used to play that...

Whussup @M.A.R. ? When you coming over to chemistry again?

Nuver

@AndreascondemnsIsrael rly?

@rene Even clearer than you.

@balpha Come down, Jesus. You can't sit up there all day long.
