“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: […] like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.” —Jonathan Swift

The “Ronda Center Tourist Apartments” in the background adds a funny touch. Specifically tourists. I wonder if Nathan Drake checked in while he uses this bridge for climbing practice.


Technically the numerical code still gives you a precise search key to find other people discussing the same issue.
… You know, as would be useful for a serious operating system where online support doesn’t mean trawling the bowels of Reddit praying somebody’s had the same issue and found a reproducible solution.


Trade tensions between the US and Europe had eased since the two sides struck a deal at Trump’s Turnberry golf course in Scotland in July.
God, even amid everything else, this sentence is so fucking rancid.


It’s… not an op-ed. Why does this come so “clearly” to you when it’s actually completely, obviously, and immediately provably wrong?
What exactly do you think an op-ed is?


… I guess as opposed to the Elon kind of African American?
People who premeditatively use words like “cunt” and then decide to censor it are behaving like 12-year-olds playing MW2 on Xbox Live who want to call somebody a “fucking bitch” but whisper it into the mic so their parents don’t ground them.
Like, we all know what you mean, and you censoring it isn’t protecting anyone’s delicate sensibilities. You only end up looking immature. Just use polite language or fucking don’t, you daft cunts.
In your urethra, and then you shoot it out during sex. Sex work is generally outlawed because this practice is so dangerous.


No problem at all. Full disclosure: I’m a longtime member of and frequent contributor to Wikipedia. I have a bias in this. I’ll say, however, that because we’re not a monolith, internal criticism of the project is varied, rampant, and welcomed. It’s no surprise when everyone is a volunteer and the entire draw of editing is “this thing sucks; make it better”. Criticism is so prolific that for the project’s 25th anniversary, the English Wikipedia’s official newsletter, The Signpost, published a dire, 6500-word warning about our trajectory.
We’re constantly looking for criticism so we can improve, and it’s why, if you can believe it, we love seeing new faces and articles published like “I tried to edit Wikipedia for a week; here’s how it burned my house down”. What we don’t value is criticism made in bad faith; there’s nothing to talk about when one side of the discussion wants to just sit around and Gish gallop all day for transparent political ends.


For those out of the loop, this user’s entire purpose on Lemmy is to spread negative coverage of Wikipedia, one of the few remaining strongholds against far-right disinformation.
And yes, that does include signal-boosting criticism from literally anyone who’s against the project, including Israeli courts, US House Republicans…
Effectively, their job is to stir up FUD.


Hi, Majora’s Mask.


“Imagine calling yourselves the ‘master race’ but forgetting to secure your own website — maybe try mastering to host WordPress before world domination,” Root wrote.
Fucking gold.
Hey, if you remember, the last time you whined about this, I appended the most recent 2025 position to the bottom of the list – just to soothe your oh-so-good-faith concern that the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics might’ve decided between 2016 and now that “actually, modern medical research is bullshit and plant-based dieting is unhealthy”.
