I'm a annoyed by the "replica database redesign" at #wikitech, since I need to update ~100 Quarry queries and plenty of tools and scripts. But the new infrastructure seems much quicker, so maybe I should accept it as a good thing?! wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/News/Wiki…

I'm not surprised to see all the complaints about the new @worldrowing website, since #ERCH is about to take place this weekend. The technical base of the new site seems great, but the UI needs some serious work.

Unicorn Olli #Zeidler claims the only Gold medal for the German rudern.de squad at the #ERChamps in Varese. Very difficult situation months before the Olympics…

I'm looking to buy an AC adapter + DC coupler for my #EOS 80D #DSLR from #Canon, but it's apparently not available right now and they are selling it for 258 Euro on their website. Seems extremely overpriced to me. Does anyone know why? Which are the alternatives?

I'm loosely following #wmhack sessions, which are being livestreamed on Youtube. They have quite some interesting talks in their program. youtube.com/watch?v=VujfdG…

Just saw that User:SuccuBot made its 100.000.000th edit to #Wikidata recently. 6.7% of all Wikidata edits were done by this bot. On average, it makes 1 edit per every 2.8 seconds since Wikidata was set up almost 9 years ago.

Apparently there was a very interesting talk about Wikidata ontology issues at #DataQualityDays which I couldn't attend live unfortunately. A video recording is here: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Data…

I have been promoted to co-maintainer of Pasleim’s #Wikidata bots to keep them running while Pasleim is less active. In case something seems broken with them, get in touch with me and we’ll see what I can fix.

Not happy with the direction of this platform as of lately. I’m going to sign off now and remove the app from my devices. Hope the guy will depart some day, with the bird still being alive.
