meta.stackexchange.com/q/399932/997587 is this not the same kind of thing we tell people not to do with "[SOLVED]"?

^surprised that one stayed up so long

Err, why do we have react on MSE...?

Journeyman Geek

> Use this tag for questions about using React in the context of the the code editor and/or Stack Snippet. Do not use this tag on general programming question about React

seems reasonable

VLAZ

@MetaAndrewT. Look, reaction videos are popular on YouTube. Therefore, we need to capture the same audience in the Q&A sphere. You need to be able to signal that you're reacting to something else, like an announcement or just another Q&A. It's a strategy to increase engagement. /s

@JourneymanGeek But there is only one question with that tag (that isn’t closed).

Journeyman Geek

That's probably the wrong thing to look at :D

Do other frameworks have snippet support and tags, and is the tag useful?

Elements In Space

I don’t know; I don’t know what any of that is.

I like the idea of snippets, but I have never gotten one to work properly.

The main programming language I answer questions on doesn’t even have syntax highlighting.

Meta Andrew T.

@VLAZ I'll give you reactions-feature for that :p

Journeyman Geek

I think they tried it on teams

no new pings here! going to sleep disappointed

Elements In Space

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda ping

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

yay

wakes up fresh

using the ping to brush teeth

@MetaAndrewT. not anymore, totally not needed and too minor to ask, so just removed it.

Looks like it's used by snippets, but doesn't deserve by far a tag of its own.

@JourneymanGeek nah, not really. This way we should create thousands of new tags. Not needed, it's just part of Snippets, and can also use javascript tag along with it, if there's issue with JS specific to snippets.

Elements In Space

@Journeyman I just got an edit approved on Pets.SE — An edit that I proposed 5 weeks ago. Is this normal for edit approvals on Pets?

Journeyman Geek

yup

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

@ElementsInSpace yup, on any small/low traffic site.

Journeyman Geek

08:00

We're really slow :D

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

Nobody there really checking those queues.

Journeyman Geek

Its ok to ping me to... expedite things for pets

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

o_O

pets @Journeyman

@JourneymanGeek and for SU as well?

Journeyman Geek

naw

SU's in good hands :D

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

:(

cries over lost chance to have dedicated mod

Journeyman Geek

08:02

It rarely needs expediting

Elements In Space

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda The Suggested Edits queue is my favourite queue.

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

@ElementsInSpace and I love chocolate! Ehm, I mean, each person has their favorite things in life. :-D

I used to roam the suggested edits queue as well, on SO and MSE, until the robo reviewers made it so crappy I stopped.

Totally junk edits were accepted, more and more, until I realized it's pointless to reject those.

(too many people review just to get badges, or to feel they do something and have their name appear in "moderation tasks", but they don't bother to spend time on it.)

Elements In Space

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda It’s probably a good idea to flag bad reviewers, then they can get review banned.

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

@ElementsInSpace meh, couldn't be bothered for that, so just stopped reviewing myself, it lost the charm.

Think I did report a few, maybe one was even marked helpful, don't remember.

Elements In Space

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda Just eat chocolate then. It’s probably better for you.

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

08:11

@ElementsInSpace I do! :D

Actually going to do that now, second morning coffee at home is espresso, so must have something sweet along with it. ;)

So it's a "Skip".

Elements In Space

Isn’t magneto a pokémon, or an X-man or something?

Oh, it says magento. What is that?

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

From X-men I think yeah

Magento

Magento is an open-source e-commerce platform written in PHP. Magento source code is distributed under Open Software License. Magento was acquired by Adobe Inc in May 2018 for $1.68 billion. More than 150,000 online stores have been created on the platform. The platform code has been downloaded more than 2.5 million times, and $155 billion worth of goods were sold through Magento-based systems in 2019. As of April 2021, Magento holds a 2.32% market share in global e-commerce platforms. Roy Rubin, the former CEO of Varien, sold a share of the company to eBay, which eventually completely acquired...

Magneto (Marvel Comics)

Magneto (; birth name: Max Eisenhardt; alias: Erik Lehnsherr and Magnus) is a character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, commonly in association with the X-Men. Created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby, the character first appeared in The X-Men #1 (cover-dated September 1963) as an adversary of the X-Men. Magneto is a powerful mutant, one of a fictional subspecies of humanity born with superhuman abilities, who has the ability to generate and control magnetic fields. Magneto regards mutants as evolutionarily superior to humans and rejects the possibility...

Elements In Space

(I think Magneton is the pokémon)

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

yup

Elements In Space

Hmm, that all checks out.

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

08:20

What can I say, the word "Magnet" is very popular. It's very magnetting. :D

Elements In Space

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda Magnificent pun.

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

:P

SPArcheon

08:56

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda You forgot Auta Magetta

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

@SPArcheon of course, my sincere apology for that!

:D

Journeyman Geek

Dosen't that mean no worries? :D

Elements In Space

Journeyman Geek

13:50

@ElementsInSpace ehh, that's a NAA, or rude at best, and best handled locally

@Petəíŕd TheDeepWizard k

Elements In Space

@JourneymanGeek I am music mod.

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

@JourneymanGeek well, rude still needs red flag.

Should be nuked out of orbit ASAP.

Petəíŕd The Deep Wizard

yay

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

@Journeyman kudos for giving benefit of the doubt to someone who openly being rude towards mods. :)

Well, I don't. Flagged, downvoted, and voted to close.

Journeyman Geek

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda I did that too

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

13:54

@JourneymanGeek ah. lol. so why edit?

Journeyman Geek

Cause it bothered me, and likely would annoy OP

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

hehe. Like changing that troll's avatar from nazi symbol to rainbow or the LGBT flag?

Forgot who did that.

Journeyman Geek

Oh that's not me :D

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

@JourneymanGeek yeah, it was some CM. Perhaps Tim.

TylerH

Ah the irony

Petəíŕd The Deep Wizard

13:59

@JourneymanGeek f lol

Elements In Space

The word “malefactor” really should appear in in every sentence (at least once).

Journeyman Geek

That rings a bell

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

@JourneymanGeek ding dong?

@ElementsInSpace no femalefactor? Pity.

Journeyman Geek

coulda sworn we had a similar post a few weeks back using the same word

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

@JourneymanGeek probably same troll.

Elements In Space

14:02

@JourneymanGeek Yeah, I remember it too.

Shadow Wizard Love Zelda

> Member for 2 years, 9 months

Mod can confirm, they weren't blacklisted yet so probably it's not on metasmoke.

ah but it is. meta.stackexchange.com/questions/399412 @Journeyman

Kind of proves it's purely a troll, we really should just flag as abusive and that's it.

And rant here. :D

Taki Time!

Journeyman Geek

I'll throw it a custom flag

Petəíŕd The Deep Wizard

14:19

throws a custom flag at @Shadow

@ShadowWizardLoveZelda metastroke

waiting for response

SPArcheon

@TylerH I think the recent Yasuke mess proves you don't need citations to edit a Wikipedia page.

TylerH

who or what is a Yasuke

SPArcheon

@TylerH See the related wikipedia page edit history and comments section.

Short version: new Assasin Creed trailer showed an actual historical figure - Yasuke - as the game protagonist. Yasuke is one of the "earliest African to appear in Japanese historical records" (to quote the page). In the game, he is depicted as a samurai.

TylerH

I think the problem there is edits to wikipedia relying on poor sources

The joke I was making was that OP made a false claim about a Wikipedia article and didn't provide citations

@SPArcheon I should go watch that trailer. Though I haven't played Ass Creed since the 1st one (discounting about 10 minutes of playtime of the second)

SPArcheon

this caused a lot of backfire, mostly due to either racism or different expectations (Japan+Assassin = Naruto, apparently). Now... people have been arguing about Yasuke being a samurai or not.

Journeyman Geek

14:31

there was IIRC a netflix animation about him too

SPArcheon

@JourneymanGeek yeah, to be fair there is also Manga Mito Kōmon but that isn't exactly an historical record of Mito Mitsukuni life.

the point is that it is pretty blatant that most of the rants are because he "is black", not because "he is not a samurai", but obviously the former is less defendable so they focus on the later.

TylerH

@JourneymanGeek oh yeah, I did see that, it was pretty enjoyable. Bummed it was like, what 8 episodes?

It's so frustrating to me that so many shows these days have such short seasons

Journeyman Geek

@TylerH that's pretty common these days, lots of shows are high production value/short length

TylerH

yeah, I want high production value/longer length :-) Or at least medium value/longer length

SPArcheon

@TylerH want to try One Piece? My grand children will probably see its end.

TylerH

14:36

@SPArcheon Never seen it, because the art style is hard for me to enjoy

SPArcheon

@TylerH One Piece "art style"? You mean the general style or Oda shifting to "to draw a female I draw two O and one X" (yes.... he actually managed to say this -_-) ?

TylerH

I mean the general style

the faces and body types are ridiculous to me

Journeyman Geek

Blue eyed Samurai was good

SPArcheon

@TylerH then it is "two O and a X"

Journeyman Geek

and got a second season

SPArcheon

14:53

I am really tempted to suggest you two something line Saint Young Men or Thermae Romanae

Journeyman Geek

I think I tried watching the latter

for some reason I don't remember if I finished it

SPArcheon

15:06

@JourneymanGeek (Mahou Shoujo-tai Arusu) Tweeny Witches maybe?

@MetaAndrewT. don't you dare to warn them.

SPArcheon

15:18

Today, I saw the light. Finally, I see the network did something good for me.

I have been ranting about skewed votes on low traffic sites for years. All this time I was unhappy that good and bad content were so close and difficult to distinguish based on the low number of votes alone.

And... all it took to turn all this pain into joy was just one simple thing.

Knowing that someone will try to train a model based on that poorly curated mess...

Thanks, you just gave me a reason to vote less I guess.

@JourneymanGeek ^ no need to thank me, I know you will love this reasoning :P

Petəíŕd The Deep Wizard

17:10

@M.A.R. which one?

lol

Petəíŕd The Deep Wizard
