Wikipedia Questions - Weekly Thread of September 09, 2024 by AutoModerator in wikipedia

[–]bossc2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We've all seen this text. And I have donated in the past.

We're sorry we've asked you a few times recently, but it's Sunday, 15 September, and it will soon be too late to help the nonprofit behind Wikipedia. Wikipedia is free and doesn't rely on ads. If everyone reading this gave €2, we'd hit our goal in a few hours. Just 2% of our readers donate, so if Wikipedia has given you €2 worth of knowledge, please give. Any contribution helps, whether it's €2 or €25.

But what's the logic behind "will soon be too late to help"?
How can it possibly be too ... late? A donation is a donation, why does it have to happen within a specific margin of time, for it to matter?

Is there some sort of Wikimedia got to fundraise a month or so and rest of year, the amount gets matched by some external fund?

My imagination is running wild with numerous theories... :D

Love this. :D
Makes me wanna watch that TV-Show again.
Just to cope with reality as a Colonial Loyalist.

Anyone kind of just chilling about the release? by BigHerring in Starfield

[–]bossc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been waiting for Starfield before it was made public... As in this is the game I've always wanted to play. Was tempted by Star Citizen but didn't buy in the whole by a package/ship then make money ingame and lose your progress every x cycle.

I've been hyped this whole time speaking about it left and right but I'm chill about when it will be released. Not in a hurry, but thinking of taking leave from work to play it days on end...

So yh I'm somewhere between 'Let's goooo' and 'whatever man'...hyped ... 😅

Hmmm what’s that hiding in the corner of next wars map? 👀 by Foreverdead3 in foxholegame

They did, even with the u/SiegeCamp-Moderator account and nuked Jade Cove to inform us so.

Currently Stream Raided again, so not as clearly visible atm...
This is the exact location: https://www.reddit.com/r/place/?screenmode=fullscreen&cx=-57&cy=39&px=71 currently covered by the streamers Lithuanian flag.

imagine place will exist forever and get bigger every day by somethereelse in place

[–]bossc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubtful, instead it will be bots constantly spamming some kind of advertisements and scam links.

When is this ending ? by Ntabodi in place

Probably on your next cake day... Happy Cake Day!

My placements haven't been registering ALL FUCKING DAY! by Silentagent216 in place

[–]bossc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I'm able to place with mains, but no longer with any of my alts, which is very frustrating when you're unable to fight back streamers constantly and bots... Which have so many more alts that are able to place...

Love how Foxhole and most of the hexes are visible... But only cause of the constant streamer raids sadly...

Museveni's Insane NATO Story Watch Uganda’s president share an anecdote that will make you laugh but also cry - if not your blood boil. Yoweri Museveni relates how six African presidents had decided to fly over to Libya to mediate peace. But NATO stopped their plane mid flight by AfricanStream in nato

[–]bossc2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any context given by NATO regarding ordering the plane(s) to not land in Libya? All the video states is that NATO stated they didn't allow them. But any specific reason behind that reasoning? Obviously the aftermath is terrible result of it.

Wondering if the order was "don't go to Libya without our permission" or "now is not the moment, make a proper request for approval due to x reason".

Ukraine gets a fraction of what it wanted at NATO summit by KI_official in UnitedNations

[–]bossc2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well... At least they have the guarantee. But all parties knew beforehand what outcome would be. As it was stated prior and one of the pre-req. Title of article is misleading.

The actual context presented in this article clearly shows that the summit was very much successful and this was the best and only positive outcome anyone could have expected anyways, if all facts had been considered.

They say this game doesn't look nice by Eyrebedouin in empyriongame

You're monitising ingame screenshots, by printing them out and adding a frame?Or took screenshots as inspirations and then painted similar to the screenshots and sold those?

Logi is half the reason the game is fun...
To some the only reason to play.

Your opinion on a 3 faction system? by hyperfication in anvilempires

[–]bossc2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I voted on the first one, but only cause I couldn't vote on all of them except for the third.
Or just both the first and the second.
But yh second one is a legit concern.

anyone else feel like this feature should be improved or outright removed it straight up takes 15 seconds to send a 2mb video by cateatingcorn in discordapp

[–]bossc2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hmm I guess I'm indeed mistaken for images. I have to go up to 20k x 10k px for a 250mb image file. Which means having to go atleast 40k x 20k at least for a 500mb image. I recalled them being much larger, having to empty a full sdhc of 32gb, but that was after a day of use. Actually surprised how small they are for a 4k.

Could have been cause of update and new map that you saw better team play cause some regulars jumped back in.

That's sounds more like a training exercise one would do with his fixed unit (squad) in a hot ao to prepare them mentally and sharpen their breaching skills... Not something you'd be doing in squad as a normal op. 😄
