I always said the end will come not from nuclear weapons, or solar flairs, asteroids etc. it will come from something that’s seemingly silent on the news and popular perception, but that will destabilize the whole system we depended on. It’s not just bugs that are vanishing at unprecedented rate, but all species.
Also if there is constant outages as well, it’s not just about Internet connection. The impact is much larger on everything.
Yeah, the definition is (or at least used to be) that a startup doesn’t have a business model yet.
“One of the things I really love about Wikipedia is it forces you to have measured, emotionless conversations with people you disagree with in the name of trying to construct the accurate narrative,”
Yeah, I think what makes Wikipedia resilient is that you can’t just go there and say something subjective. You need to find the correct way to state the actual fact, even when it can have different interpretations. Cause that way, no group can contest it.
I’d love to play around with something like this, as a programmer myself, but unfortunately the cost is prohibitive in my country.
I think adb can also work over Wi-Fi, just like Android Studio can connect to the phone and build and install without plugging it.
This might be another example of over reliance on AI to judge what’s good or not to show users: https://news.clownfishtv.com/p/reddit-asks-did-youtube-break-itself
Thank you for saving me a click.
The current US government is already a meme around the world, it’s not like this makes it look worse than it already is.
Given enough time, all things come to light. I hope this is something that will be a shameful part of History in years to come.
I’m not writing a paper or essay… so my standards are different.
It actually shouldn’t matter in this case. Wikipedia isn’t a “source” of anything, it simply states facts and backs them with sources (though not always, many articles will have a “missing source” for many paragraphs). It’s also public, so anyone can add things without it being peer reviewed.
So if you actually care about whether some information is correct, you should check what is the source. And if something is wrong you can do your part and change the text to be more neutral or better phrased. Edits that improve pages are almost always gonna stick.
In the end it’s all ant’s work to update/fix the huge number of badly written stuff in there.
You toll totally misunderstood the comment.
There’s no problem in citing in that an interview cited fact X. Then if the issue is discussed, some other reputable news sources might say it’s likely not true and you can source them too.
When you present the facts as they are instead of trying to portray them as absolute truths, you’re doing the right work for Wikipedia.
Even scientific facts aren’t “the truth”, but our current understanding of things. Wikipedia isn’t about what’s the ultimate truth, it’s about documenting and organizing information so that people can get a grasp on subjects.
I feel like the problem mentioned is like a drop in the water compared to the enshitification of Google as a whole. Google has been almost unusable even if this didn’t happen.
Yeah, countries should realize that brain drain is much more serious issue than is usually portrayed.
But honestly the issues that lead to brain drain are far beyond what one or a few people in power can fix. It’s usually caused by deep societal issues, things that emerge after little dysfunctions snowball all the way to the large system that is the whole country.
For example, I’ve seen articles like this which in my opinion summarize what is the real issue in Brazilian society. But also one could argue this behavior becomes prevalent because society is already dysfunctional and people normalize the current way of thinking. It’s really a chicken and egg problem to solve when you look at the whole country scale.
It’s crazy to me that workers in the US need permission to organize and coordinate actions.
Also not news, right?

They’d probably spend resources on that if there was a critical mass of people. The reason they don’t care is that people aren’t on the Fediverse.
