This is just avoiding the issue of having a short attention span.

I used to be easily distracted during online lectures yet had little difficulty following live lectures. It’s a fundamentally different experience, for whatever reason.

Also, the attention span has to be trained. And training it by working without a distracting computer sounds like a good idea.

With all due respect to Guido, creating software does not have the same weight and responsibilities as leading a country.

No, because “benevolent dictatorship” can’t exist (the only benevolent action of such a dictatorship would be self-abolishment).

It’s been moved to the archive but is linked on top of the talk page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&oldid=1310806574#Including_the_video / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Killing_of_Charlie_Kirk/Archive_2#Including_the_video

Looks like they’ve decided against inclusion. It’s also unlikely the video meets “fair use” standards so they’d have to delete it anyway…

They had a whole edit war about whether it should be included and locked the article.

Kirk’s killer seems to have used some large calibre weapon which probably made it look so particularly brutal and bloody.

Lemmy has been chock-full of these memes critical of the dems since the election. How much more of this “good start” is needed before people move on to the next step (whatever it might be)?

You wouldn’t, by any chance, provide examples of that censorship and how it can be traced to FBI/CIA?

Sure, but the duration of the ownership doesn’t matter a whole lot in this sort of situation. If you’ve missed the news about the selling when it happened, it’s relatively unlikely you’ll learn about it afterwards. I don’t periodically do a background check of all the devs and owners of my apps.

Reminds me of how after WW2 people stopped calling their kids Adolf or even changed their name Adolf into something else. I mean, I’m not saying Zuckerberg is literally Hitler or something, but it sure is funnily similar.

I’m on Facebook because many people I communicate or work with and pages and groups relevant to my interests are active there.

It can be noted that the original comm on blahaj.zone gets drastically less traffic than before, and I don’t think anyone uses the .world comm at all. Most activity is at /c/onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone

I love that comparison.

Wikipedia has been shit for a long time

it started off great and then went to hell

This becomes obviously and extremely dumb once you try to imagine how this “going to hell” actually looks like. What you’re saying is, if you opened a Wikipedia article 15 or 20 years ago, you’d find “great” content, but in the meantime that article has become “shit”. Pure nonsense.

In an another comment you say it’s bad that you have to double check the sources. But when it started, Wikipedia barely used sources at all! Just look at some random articles from the early days and see for yourself. These days an overabundance of sources could well be more of a problem for editors of big article.

There are thousands of recorded, proven cases of incorrect and malicious updates to pages on there.

Thousands? Probably tens, even hundred of thousands! You know how they’re “recorded and proven” most of the time? Through the built-in system that tracks every change since the site was created, and allows editors to check who did what, verify and reverse the bad edits.

The co-founder also said Wikipedia is “broken beyond repair”… back in 2007. Already in 2006 he founded a website that he wanted to compete with WP. Is that before or after your “went to hell” era? My impression is, the guy is just butthurt the project has grown beyond him.

As a relatively active WP editor, I agree that you absolutely shouldn’t take it for granted, and there’s a lot of absolutely frustrating crap on there, and there’s much that one would want to see fixed and improved structurally. But I really can’t tolerate this sort of nonsensical criticism.

No, 95% of the article has nothing to do with Vance, and even if the part about Vance’s influence is what you wanted to point out, you could’ve done it without this reddit-tier gibberish about… kryptonite?

here’s you from 15 hours ago: США должны быть разрушенными. Which translates to “The USA must be destroyed”.

May be worth noting there were three dots before and a question mark at the end of that sentence, and it was a reply to a meme comparing USA to Carthage. Sounds 100% serious.

Article nearly entirely about Ukraine, but OP still has to inject unrelated US political hysteria into the title.

the West has fallen 😞
