Quite pleased, that Nias Wiki community has approved the revision 2 of page layout of Nias Wiktionary last night. That means the wiktionary entries will be tidy, predictable and can be accessed easily through API/json.
I received an email from Lenovo about "Price drop alert!" The price has been reduced by 0.1 pence! 🤣 The Internet joke of the day.
