Ethan BlackA nice article on how to ask good #forum questions.
HenningJust donated to @kiwix!
They do great work of making the download of various dictionaries and knowledgebases offline extremely easy!
This is essential for people in regions with bad internet, like a refugee camp.
I couldn't find any legal advice, which would be pretty important, apart from a general #StackExchange backup.
Spread the knowledge!
「ʀᴏʙᴇʀᴛ」Fuck me, the Stack Overflow beta is *horrible*.
Question pages look like a bastard mix between Reddit and ChatGPT.
The answer text area is auto-focussed and hijacking browser shortcuts.
There is no visible separation between question and answers.

JdeBPThe best part, given what news/magazine reviewers have had to suffer today, is that they can write the reviews ahead of the movie even being made, or even greenlit.
Google's AI refused; but I just asked #Bing to write a review and #MicrosoftCopilot just did so.
It gives the movie 4/5 stars.
So it's only a matter of time until the #Wikipedia article and Movies #StackExchange questions. (-:

heavybootsHonestly, I am not surprised Stack Exchange is dying. Fought the minimum password requirements for like 30 minutes in Ubuntu. FINALLY found the winning solution like 6 posts deep on Ask Ubuntu past what the AI was looking for and so forth. Tried to upvote. Got roundly rejected. "You can't upvote until you have a reputation of 20.” What the actual fuck? How do you expect community participation?? #ubuntu #stackexchange

Krutonium://A fucking Tragedy
Undeniably, Undebatably.
Environmentally? Tragedy.
Cost? Tragedy.
Just everything here is a Tragedy.
If you are able to run on your own hardware, fucking do it, there's no excuse to go cloud, especially if you already have the infra, even if you need to physically move it.
For fuck sakes.
Throwing away On-Prem or at least Self-Hosted is throwing away the Sovereignty of your Business, of your Data. You've just given all of your customer and business Data to Google. Good Job.

在「Total monthly number of StackOverflow questions over time (data.stackexchange.com)」這邊看到的，Stack Exchange 有直接提供介面拉出來：「https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/1926661#graph」。 從下的 query language 可以看出來那個 1 是寫死的，跟每個月的一號沒關係，從 Graph 切到 Results 可以看到開站的 2008/08 是 3749 個，到了 2025/12 變成 3710 個，差不多是死掉的狀態了。 這邊有想到兩個重要的時間點，第一個是 2021 年五六月的時候 Stack Exchange 用 $1.
Joanna Bryson, blatheringIs it me, or are people downvoting on #stackexchange more than they used to? I thought that on other people's answers, then it happened to one of mine.
