Yes, you read that right. Dark mode is (finally!) here.

One of the most requested features, dark mode improves accessibility and reduces eye strain for readers and volunteer editors across Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.

While creating dark mode may seem simple, it required overcoming tricky and unique challenges particular to Wikipedia, such as respecting and maintaining accessibility of user-generated content.

The Wikimedia Foundation’s engineering teams worked closely with communities to bring dark mode to light. It is now available on select wikis, and will soon be deployed to others.

Learn more about the benefits of dark mode, the challenges in making it a reality, and how you can contribute. ➡️ https://t.co/0zWIWgc7jl

okay, hear me out. it's NOT hard to achieve whatever you're pursuing in life. whatever you're trying to do right now, anyone with a braincell and an internet connection can do it. the difference between them and you is that they're taking consistent action every single day. they're not just dreaming or talking about it; they're grinding, learning, and adapting. they're willing to fail, learn from those failures, and keep pushing forward. they don't let fear or doubt paralyze them. they're seeking out knowledge, connecting with mentors, and leveraging resources. success isn't reserved for the exceptionally gifted or lucky; it's for those who are relentless, resilient, and resourceful. stop overthinking, start executing, and watch how quickly things start to change. it's not about being perfect but it's about making progress, however small, every day. you have the tools, you have the capability. now, it's time to take action and make it happen.

EVERYONE faces obstacles and setbacks, but the ones who succeed are those who view these challenges as opportunities to grow. they don't waste time on excuses or blame; they take ownership of their journey and stay focused on their goals. they're not afraid to step out of their comfort zones and take risks, knowing that real growth happens when you push beyond your limits. they understand that every step forward, no matter how small, brings them closer to their dreams. they're not waiting for the perfect moment; they're making the moment perfect by taking action now. they prioritize their time, cut out distractions, and stay disciplined. they're not bogged down by analysis paralysis; they make decisions, learn from the outcomes, and keep moving forward. so, if you're serious about achieving your goals, stop waiting for a miracle and start creating your own. the only thing standing between you and your success is the action you're willing to take. make today the day you start making your dreams a reality.

there's a reason why I went from being a depressed, loser girl with no future ahead to someone who's actually taking action on myself, someone who moved to a new country by themselves and someone who can finally say they're making money. and all of that within 6 months. it's not because I suddenly became smarter or luckier; it's because I decided to stop making excuses and start taking control of my life. I set clear goals, broke them down into actionable steps, and committed to working on them. I faced my fears head-on, embraced the discomfort of change, and refused to let setbacks define me. I surrounded myself with positive influences, sought out mentors, and consumed knowledge like my life depended on it, and guess what...... because it did.

the only person who could change my life was me, and I wasn't going to wait around for someone else to save me. I took risks, made sacrifices, and stayed focused on my vision. I learned to be patient with myself, understanding that progress takes time and that every small step forward is a victory. I stopped comparing myself to others and started competing with the only person who actually matters: myself.

I found strength in my struggles and I continue to use my past as fuel to drive me forward. I celebrate my wins, no matter how small, and use them as fuel to keep going. I keep my eyes on the prize, staying disciplined and determined even when the road gets tough.

you are NOT alone, you are NOT hopeless, and you are NOT stuck. there are countless people out there who've faced similar challenges and emerged stronger. you have a community of dreamers, doers, and fighters who understand what you're going through and are cheering for your success. reach out, connect, and find your tribe. share your journey, your struggles, and your triumphs. you’ll find that support and encouragement can come from the most unexpected places.

life is full of ups and downs, but it’s the persistence through the downs that defines your path. stay committed to your vision, keep pushing forward, and don’t let temporary setbacks deter you from your ultimate destination. your dreams are within reach if you’re willing to work for them.

so take a deep breath, gather your strength, and step boldly into your future. you have the power to change your narrative, to create a life that excites and fulfills you. believe in your potential, take consistent action, and watch as you transform into the person you’ve always aspired to be. your journey is uniquely yours, and every step you take is a testament to your resilience and determination.

The artists gave me a texture for the moon in gta3.

I placed the moon in the sky, made sure it was visible at night and that it was a reasonable size.
A few days later 4 artists were at my desk asking me to change the size of the moon.
"No problem" I said.

It turned out they couldn't decide what the size of the moon should be. Two of them wanted it smaller to be more realistic. The other two wanted it larger to be more cinematic.

This went on a bit and I suggested to make the size of the moon changeable in the game. This way they could decide in their own time and let me know the conclusion. Since I was working on the sniper rifle, I made it so that the moon toggled through 3 sizes (small, medium, large) as the player sniped it.

The artists never got back to me so I just left it in. It was still there in SA.

[CS2 @CounterStrike]

Today we are introducing CS Rating—a precise display of your skill in Counter-Strike 2. With regional and World Leaderboards you'll know exactly how you stack up.

Competitive mode in CS2 now features per-map Skill Groups, so players can master their favorite maps while learning others. And in Counter-Strike 2, match length is changing to 12 round halves, with overtime, to determine a winner.

And beginning today, we are starting the process of inviting as many eligible players as possible to the Limited Test. To be eligible, players must have CS:GO Prime Status, an active Competitive Skill Group, and play the majority of their official matchmaking games in one of the regions where the Limited Test is available.

Start earning your CS Rating in Premier Mode, now available in-game alongside the overhauled de_inferno.

If you haven't played Counter-Strike 2 yet, now's your time.
