Any mod wants to chime in?

Third time...

🚩

meta.stackexchange.com/q/372943 - spam - the poster's bio says they are involved with the product they ask about.

@VLAZ it would be spam even with blank profile.

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 True. Didn't want to just say "spam" but added more information to it.

@Wolgwang yeah that user keeps doing it, I'd just go and downvote one or two of their posts.

:D

@VLAZ yeah, nice. For some reason Smokey miss a lot of spam on MSE lately.

But when I try to manually report, it always say "already reported"... just not here.

(so I stopped trying, it's pointless.)

@tripleee poof

there's the motor vehicles one still too if you still have juice

@tripleee poof

Bit far fetched to call that R/A on webapps

pffft people here in the NL are sooo blindsighted sometimes...

@Luuklag Cory said troll but I get the impression that perhaps that was just a hunch

@tripleee yeah I think their just lost, and perhaps a bit pissed off at FB, but thats all. Just flagged as blatently off-topic. Mods will deal with it sooner or later.

@Luuklag ?

People are pissed-off that Meta wants to build a data-centre near Zeewolde, but at the same time they want to watch cat-movies in UHD on their phones

Well Meta isn't really known for it's cat-movies, right? XD

I'd block that plan, just because it's Meta. XD

@Tinkeringbell well yeah that might be a good argument. But people these days just fail to realise that everything comes at a cost. You can't have internet without datacentres

Ah, yeah those kinds of people are frustrating.

Look, I get that a datacentre looks hideous, eats humongous amounts of power, and that the location in Zeewolde is some of the best agricultural lands our country has. But realistically there aren't many other places you could build a thing of such a scale

I think some of the problems at least are also with the way the permits were granted? Wasn't there something about not selling the land to Meta until they have better proof/plans with regards to the environment, or something?

@Tinkeringbell They already had a strawman buy the land for them. The problem is zoning permission needs to be changed from agricultural to probably industrial

Hmmm...

@Luuklag omroepflevoland.nl/nieuws/264255/… < That one was 'reposted' on the nos IIRC.

That's what I was thinking of.

Ah yeah, well their planning on making it about 166ha, so the other half of the land they already bought from farmers then I guess

@Luuklag on the moon

And it's actually a thing. ;)

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 lol, they talk like they'd do it in a split second. I think they'll need a bit more then that

poof

@Luuklag yeah by the end of the decade from what I've read.

So, by 2030 we should actually have data centers active on the moon.

Each "grand company" will have its own, question is... who will they pay taxes to?

Until then, the centers will keep polluting Earth, sadly.

@tripleee annoyingly / alarmingly, still up, any flaggers available here still?

@tripleee the deed is done

great, thanks

@Luuklag not necessarily IIRC, it just stops checking to avoid spending increasingly large amounts of time monitoring posts which might never get deleted

-23hours to the great cdn DDOS attack.

People, start configure refresh for the winterbash2021 site every 5 seconds.

.... jokes aside, it is time someone drags Yaakov here.

@SPArcheon and the great log4j attack then..

@Luuklag I wonder if traffic on the WB site ever managed to cause any failure on the servers.

But to be fair... we had failures caused by circular references in the UPS....

So if I don't pay they disable a feature that I didn't want in the first place? Seems a win to me

in the meantime, a month late...

Nintendo and/or Nicalis still scamming EU customers.

Hey @g3r is doing things on MSE

hehehe, always been lending a hand when it comes to localization stuff

just because I'm semi-active on SOes

haha cool, so what is this big secret project your spending the rest of your time on then?

hehehe Stack Overflow Enterprise :P

not that secret but definitely big

haha okay, managed to find all instances of log4j in enterprise already?

only the patched ones :P

@Glorfindel I think you can go ahead and create the new room.

at least that way the RO is also a mod

mumble... or I could abuse the fact that everyone can be set as a RO without notification and just create the room, set @Tinkeringbell as RO and then remove myself. Seems a perfect plan :P

Just set a CM as RO then. Winter bash wasn't my idea, I won't accept the responsibility either.

are you implicitly suggesting I just go for Yaakov? :P

I said CM.

Not dev.

Cat

Looks like I've summoned her

@Tinkeringbell tomayo, tomahto....

I don't think this has been posted here yet, so...

BTW, leaked info apparently there is one secret hat that requires posting a MLP themed question on sci-fi. So, please start posting.

(this has nothing to do with the 18 questions still missing for the tab badge to be created)

@SPArcheon In My Little Pony, who is "My" and have they been arrested for child labor yet? /joke

@EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica joke on you, actually answerable.

At least for g4, the "My" is actually Twilight Sparkle.

Since the original unused opening for the show - later turned in a side song and published on Hasbro channel - has her saying exactly that.

Maybe make it a self answered Q&A then (without the arrested for child labor part of course:P) cause from a brief glance there doesn't appear to be any duplicates?

@ShadowWizardIsVaccinatedV3 Should I add this to Kyle list?

... still working, and Chuncai is still alive and running too.

So far, no problems.

That said, I should really find the time to rework Chuncai into pony form.

I don't think chat's included?

@JourneymanGeek Scold Button is chat, Chuncai is not.

@SPArcheon I would strongly suggest SE goes out of their way to break this. Repeatedly.

@SPArcheon So... if "my" is Twilight Sparkle, who's the Little Pony? I've always assumed that "My" meant "the kid who owned the toy" and the "Little Pony" was the toy.

@Catija I think that makes more sense in the context of the original "selling toys" franchise

Because the new version isn't also selling a lot of toys? :P

@Catija I don't think it had an adult fandom back in the day

or without the internet, we didn't know about it

Sure... but I think it's odd to retcon the name's meaning rather than just accept that it probably doesn't make as much sense as it did in the 80s. :P

;p

No one would have asked this in the 80s

Heck, did the ponies even have names? ._.

Yes, of course. :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Little_Pony_(TV_series)

But there were actually humans in it, apparently, so the main character was likely the "my" in that show, but there's no human equivalent in the new show... I'm not even sure there's any humans unless you watch the weird new show where the ponies are in the real world and have become humans?

Also TIL - Danny DeVito was the voice of one of the characters.

But the toys did come first, according to Wikipedia.

And apparently Nancy Cartwright before she started playing Bart Simpson!

@Catija that's why I specified it makes sense only in G4 show reference

@Catija yeah, the 80s :D

Design toys first, slap together a TV show later

@SPArcheon G4 = Generation 4 ?

@Catija that's what Google says, so presumably.

Can't always trust google D:

But I doubt the old G4 channel would show MLP :D

@Catija yep.

that said, based on my memory, back in the 80' there was a strong "boys VS girls" mindset in animated shows.

GI Joe and He Man vs MLP and Rainbow Brite

I don't remember where the Gummi Bears fell, though.

@Catija Not just that since you mentioned He-Man... He-Man VS She-Ra too.

She-Ra appearing in He-Man show? useless female that thinks she can be as good as a male.

Yeah... though I feel like She-Ra was always kinda... a bad spin-off. But I never watched it.

He-Man in She-Ra? Stupid chauvinist

Oh, and ThunderCats

@Catija ....

Old or new? :D

Old, yes. New is apparently its own thing

@Catija they say the remake is quite better.

@Catija Boys I think.

I've watched the new She-Ra and the Princesses of Power twice.

Also for dog's sake, the theme song for Gummi Bears is a ear worm

@JourneymanGeek Thudercats Roar does not exist. Is just an urban legend. Forget it.

I'm pretty sure I last heard it like 30 years ago

I feel like a lot of the disney stuff was more neutral - Gummi Bears and Rescue Rangers...

@Catija kinda depends.

In EU Donald alterego Paperinik is quite well known.

Back in the 80... "Paperinika" also existed.

put them together and you got the exact same He-Man VS She-Ra trend.

"Girls have cooties" VS "Boys are rude"

I remember watching the top 8 things on this list... chipandco.com/…

I remember the first three and the last

and the Warner golden age (Batman TAS and spinoffs, and the Spielburg series like animaniacs)

Also, Animaniacs has so many dirty jokes .

(Original series. Not seen the reboot yet)

flag-pls spam (I guess?) (SD report) cstheory.stackexchange.com/a/50868/52320

Anyway my point was just that in the 80' there was a quite specific view of what a "girl show" should be about.

And as you would expect, it was full stereotype.

So you got characters like "Strawberry Shortcake"

Cakes, cooking, 99% girls cast, house-chores....

It is quite probable that first generations of MLP suffered under the same perception

G4 was lucky enough to have a quite different art style (looks more like cats than horses)

something like this.

@SPArcheon and "We need to tell a story" over "We need to sell toys"

Well, I think they went more superdeformed over time

something about humans and hardwired reactions to neotany

anyway, probably its luck was the fact that it basically became a "slice of life" show more "anime style" in a way.

@SPArcheon So, what is the show where they're humans? G5 or is it technically still G4?
