Certainly, but hopefully you won’t turn on your PC and have 50 popups and 10 different buttons blinking and getting in the way of each other begging you to try AI.

Also TIC-80.

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.

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.

I’d love to play around with something like this, as a programmer myself, but unfortunately the cost is prohibitive in my country.

I don’t know, even people here are already considering it a loss of the only way is through ADB, because it’s not practical for everyday usage. But it’s better than nothing.

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.

But I guess those don’t have Google Play or anything Google, they’re more like a limited Android.

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.

It’s for State contracts apparently.

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 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 ocean compared to the enshitification of Google as a whole. Google has been almost unusable even if this didn’t happen.
