“Fuck them kids.”

Weren’t they already doing this? I could have sworn some French researcher was denied entry over this months ago.

It’s a similar story for the multiple Facebook communities for where I live. They handed a lot of bans during covid era while pushing anti-vax rhetoric.

It’s an easy paycheck for allowing Google as the default search setting. If Microsoft paid as much we would be seeing the same arguments about Bing.

Must have hit close to home if that got you riled up.

It takes a special kind of stupid to take a candidate you agree with 90% of the time and hammer them twice as hard as you do their opponent. Thanks for withholding your vote in protest. That showed 'em.

I don’t think they intended to get themselves hurt, but that’s just a natural result of voting for face-eating leopards.

Love how Democrats get hammered on things Republicans get a pass on.

They voted for suffering and Trump delivers.

A little bit of both. I ran a private wiki for writers to collaborate on for a project. I was doing other tech stuff for the team so it was my job to deal with it. Keeping it updated was a chore and actually using it was finicky.

For example, there was an issue we ran into where we wanted a dynamic table that pulled from other pages. Think of a shopkeeper inventory or something similar where each item was another page. Displaying an item worked fine the first time you pulled it, but if you updated the item’s page it wouldn’t push that to any page it’s displayed on. We ran into issues like this constantly. Some solutions worked, others didn’t.

After a year or so we migrated to something else. It’s free and it’s great that it exists, but it just has a roughness to it that we didn’t have the resources to deal with.

I’ve used mediawiki and I hated maintaining it. Absolutely do not recommend other than as a last resort.

“The algorithm” pushes outrage content because it’s so radioactive that it even gets you to post it here. It’s just that potent.

I was going on buy some jack stands for my car and saw the exact same models from harbor freight or auto zone on Amazon. Even if you’re not trying to support Amazon, you can’t escape the slop products.

I think it’s a concerning issue affecting long-term viability of the platform. It’ll only get worse as time goes on and sources go offline.

The root of the problem is Wikipedia not having local snapshots leaves their articles vulnerable to eroding sources.

Crazy? I was crazy once. They put me in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats.

I wonder if they would use the same argument on a photo of someone receiving gender-affirming care.

Well, at least a small handful of people might make a few bucks.

It reads like one of those boomer comics complaining about young people experiencing the consequences of boomer actions.

Most likely not.
