Sammy (is just a fox 🩊)

And a final follow-up poll in this thread, for anyone who responded — would folx be interested in filling out a larger (anonymous & privacy-conscious) survey on their experiences?

[nb. I am doing this as a personal/volunteer thing, this ain't work, I don't bring work on fedi, but I will explicitly note that I work for the WMF]

@theresnotime I fixed the JAMMA article that said it was wired up for two buttons per joystick (it's actually three). It got reverted. ㄟ(ツ)ㄏ

@theresnotime

My foray into Wikipedia editing was brief and immediately regretted. From qodem.sourceforge.io/version1. :

but it was my first real encounter with the outside world. Honestly, it mostly sucked. I put Qodem on Freshmeat (remember that?). I created a Wikipedia page and almost immediately came to regret it (it wasn't notable you see), an experience I think SyncTERM ran into also.

It ended up being far more work to get my own article deleted.

I will never edit Wikipedia again.

@theresnotime I have an account, but I do it anonymously when they will let me. Otherwise you're dragged into "the community" which I think is inspired by Terry Gilliam's film Brazil. Usually I'm just fixing grammar or removing vandalism, though, but sometimes work-related stuff that I'm confident is wrong or I have a good additional reference for.
