#stackexchange — Public Fediverse posts

#StackExchange still being StackExchange I see.

We are still missing a dark theme for our #stackechange or #serverfault and all other #stackexchange #offline #ZIM archives! Someone to help us? https://github.com/openzim/sotoki/issues/349 #FOSS #CSS #goodfirstissue

Stack Exchange brings together hundreds of open communities where people ask questions, share expertise, and solve problems across technology, science, culture, and more. Explore the network: https://stackexchange.com/sites 🌐💡 #StackExchange #KnowledgeSharing #OnlineCommunities

Given that the TeX #StackExchange is focused on (good) typography, the fact that it still uses a hyphen instead of a minus for negative scores irks me.

Every time I visit a #StackExchange site I get a little bolt of joy as I find someone upvoted a decade-old answer of mine. Sometimes on Meta SE, of all places.

This despite all the efforts by the #Stackoverflow corporate owners to prove the "dead internet theory" right.

🌟 Ah, formal methods—the mysterious #unicorns of the #programming world 🦄. People don't use them because, surprise surprise, they're not exactly the life of the party 🎉. But hey, who needs them when you can have a wild ride on the "opinion-based" rollercoaster of Stack Exchange, right? 🎢

Ah yes, because nothing screams cutting-edge space exploration like debating GPS restrictions on glorified party balloons and shoebox satellites 🎈📦. Meanwhile, the Stack Exchange hive mind buzzes with 184 communities just to tell you "Did you try turning it off and on again?" 🤖🔄.

Ah, the age-old existential crisis: what *is* a mathematician supposed to do? 🤔 Apparently, hang out on #MathOverflow, the place where number nerds unite to swap proofs and procrastinate on real problems. Who knew infinite wisdom could be found in a 183-site rabbit hole of Stack Exchange? 🙄🔢

#Stackexchange says something is Over a year ago, and means it was 2015

A nice article on how to ask good #forum questions.

Just 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!

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.

Honestly, 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

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.

StackOverflow 的每月發問數量已經降到開站第一個月的等級了

#exchange #overflow #stack #stackexchange #stackoverflow

Is 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.

In #Wikipedia steht die Antwort möglicherweise. Es dauert aber, herauszufinden, in welchem Artikel, Listenartikel oder Unterartikel. Die #Suche von Wikipedia verwendet zwar #ElasticSearch, aber um die Vorteile von dieser starken Engine auch zu erhalten, hätten 100000e Menschen, die Wikipedia-Artikel auch verschlagworten müssen (#wikidata). Ausserdem kann es sein, dass etwas so praktisches wie formatstrings als #unenzyklpädisch eingestuft wurde und daher entfernt.

In #Stackexchange muss ich mehrfach bestätigen, dass ich ein Mensch bin, finde dann einen Artikel, der unbeantwortet geschlossen wurde, weil #Duplikat. Dann zwei veraltete, die inzwischen falsch sind, dann welche mit einem nicht mehr funktionierenden link auf die Lösung.

Bei #archive_org, archive.is und #AnnasArchive muss ich die #URL des gesuchten Artikels wissen, um suchen zu können.

Eine #Suchmaschine sucht nicht. Eine Suchmaschine liest die "Sutemap.XML" Dateien aus, die websitebetreiber online stellen für die #crawler der Suchmaschinen. Ich finde also fünf Jahre alte Artikel auf Websites die seit fünf Jahren nicht mehr gepflegt werden. Und maximal ein jahr alte Artikel, die meine Frage nicht beantworten aber in der #sitemap stehen. Die 100 Websites, die die richtige Antwort in einem zwei bis vier Jahre alte Artikel enthalten, finde ich nicht, weil diese Artikel nicht mehr in der sitemap stehen.

Die GPTbots haben Wikipedia, stackexchange, Archiv.org, Annas archive und alle Websites gescrapt und dabei #robots.txt und sitemap ignoriert. Ich bekomme die richtige Antwort und zwar schneller als mit allen zuvor genannten Varianten.

Oder ich suche in #Grokipedia. Grokipedia besteht aus 1Million statischen seiten im #CDN von #Cloudflare die von wikipedia gescrapt wurden. Die suche ist ein GPTbot und 57mal besser als die suche in wikipedia.

Can a dead horse be resurrected by peeing on it?

Well, stackoverflow wants to give it a try: https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/415259/256929

I never got how they make money, but they need to, no doubt. Yet:

"...to make the ads feel like a part of the site while still very clearly being labeled as an advertisement."

I wish them luck, but quality degradation from trolls, block wardens and idiots seems an inevitable fate of platforms. (long live the fediverse.🤔 )

这个浏览器扩展让你只搜索 AI 出现之前的互联网内容

#chatgpt 3 年前上线之后直到现在，互联网充斥了很多 AI 生成的垃圾内容，以至于你现在用 #google 搜索，很大可能搜到的都是 AI 生成的内容。

这个浏览器扩展可以让谷歌的搜索结果只返回 2022年 11 月 30 号之前的内容 （2022 年 12 月 1 号 ChatGPT 上线）

我试了一下，用这个扩展搜索 how to install java （P1），和不用扩展直接搜索的结果 （P2)

这个扩展(P3)如今支持如下搜索引擎：

#google
#duckduckgo
#reddit
#quora
#stackexchange
#pinterest
#youtube

你需要手动在这个扩展里搜索才生效。

🎩🤹‍♂️ Behold! The grand revelation that math wizards are secretly one-trick ponies! Who knew that amidst 183 Stack Exchange communities, the real magic was in recycling the same old tricks? 🧙‍♂️✨ Let’s all pretend to be shocked as the mathematical curtain is pulled back! 🚪🎭

StackExchange for the win! It's been a while since I used it (yes, because of LLMs), but dang if it didn't work on the first try.

Started to ask a new question, skimmed the suggested existing questions and found mine already answered perfectly.

Did you reboot and is the setup script executable?

@beep this is why I moved all my repos to #codeberg. Similar issue to #stackexchange stealing the contributions. You aren't slaves, just leave these trash corporate sires.
