“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
It is indeed open. All Wikipedia content is available under both CC BY-SA 4.0 and the GFDL and can therefore be used effectively however and wherever you like. Nearly all of its articles are freely editable by anyone anywhere provided they haven’t previously been blocked or that the article isn’t protected. Its entire history short of a few minor exceptions (pre-November 2001-ish, extreme vandalism/defamation, obvious copyright infringement, and deleted articles) is publicly available. Wikipedia by its nature is more open than most FOSS projects in the sense that few circumstances even exist where you’d need to ask a regular contributor to publish a change to the main branch on your behalf.
I don’t understand why you use scare quotes around “open” here.
Hey, Sunshine and anyone reading this! Feel free to ask here if you have any Wikipedia-specific questions. I’m somewhat credentialed and happy to answer.
Astrology is pseudoscientific, objectively false garbage. It should be othered and seen as lesser just like any other pseudoscientific personality trait garbage. “Witchy” stuff like crystals etc. is also complete nonsense. We as a society should seek to identify beliefs and practices that aren’t grounded in reality and treat them that way. Even if they aren’t inherently harmful in isolation, that kind of pliability where it doesn’t matter what’s true and what isn’t as long as it makes me feel a certain way is a recipe for a dumber and more dangerous society.
Live laugh love? I mean sure. It’s super basic, and I’d just as quickly make fun of a guy for having a “man cave” sign, but it’s at least harmless. The meme though is specifically talking about pseudoscientific horseshit and equating it to feminism, inherently equating calling it out with antifeminism. It’s asinine.
Hey, Sunshine, if you’re interested, I highly recommend contributing to OpenStreetMap if/where you can. The built-in iD editor for desktop web is phenomenal and very easy but powerful, and the third-party Vespucci app for Android on F-Droid works very well. OpenStreetMap is still missing data in relatively large cities (let alone probably out in rural areas), and that especially includes sidewalks, residential buildings, addresses, and contact information. Even just making sure the information is complete and up-to-date the next time you visit a business, park, etc. (and marking the ‘Last Checked Date’) is profoundly useful. I’d be free to answer any questions you might have!
It’a a start! Makes the switch much easier.
No need to beat around the bush: the movie’s core premise is that “eugenics good”. It’s really a shame that people (who probably haven’t watched it at all or in a long time) hold it in such high regard.
The great thing about RISC-V if you care about sovereignty in an age where CPUs run the world is that it’s an open standard. Contrast this with x86 which is owned in some part by US-based Intel and some part by US-based AMD as well as ARM which is owned by Japanese-owned, UK-based Arm Holdings. If you want to use x86, you’re shelling out license money to Intel and AMD, and if you want to use ARM, you’re shelling out license money to Arm Holdings. You never truly “own” what you’re producing.
Being pro-Hamas also wouldn’t be a crime, even if it’d be an asinine stance.
Fun facts:
Hey, OP, this “transgenic vs transgender” thing actually is disinformation. The White House (ignore the Trump-brand petulant diaper baby bullshit) has presented easily verifiable receipts. They’re:
Actually (ignore the petulant bullshit), they didn’t misread anything. You can read each of those projects and see that it has nothing to do with transgenic anything. It is indeed related to how exogenous sex hormones affect mice.

Honestly, I’ve gone from not knowing who PCC is to hating her work for its mediocrity to subtly appreciating that sometimes what the world needs in the face of overwhelming AI slop and neo-Nazi comics is someone whose work may not be the best but who enjoys what they do, puts thought and effort into it, and makes the masses exhale through their nose.
It’s so weird to me that people who defend China’s treatment of Uyghurs turn it into a US vs China thing. You can look through my recent history and find me saying that Biden, Harris, and everyone in Congress who clapped for Netanyahu have committed genocide and can rot in hell. Trump, of course, is even worse. This isn’t a “muh both sides bad enlightened centrism” thing because this isn’t a “sides” issue to begin with. Three of the four major superpowers on Earth right now are authoritarian hellholes, and the EU is on its way to joining them with its shift toward neo-Nazism.
Hey, Logan, I’m new to CRT art. Do you think you could stick around just a little while longer and show me what I’ve been missing out on? Show me the ropes, that is.
What they were doing was textbook sealioning. This information is right there for anyone to find and has been for years.
Bruh what? 💀 I chose the highest-profile and arguably best emulators for each major system, let alone that almost every other modern one uses GitHub too. If all of these emulators are flying under the corporate radar, I will deliberately inject myself with rabies and die a slow, agonizing death. I couldn’t come up with this shit if I got cross-faded on meth and fentanyl.
Legitimately shocked that this abject fucking nonsense got three upvotes. Want to know how I know Sony knows PCSX2 exists? Two former PCSX2 developers are working on “ports” (read: shitty, subpar emulation) of PS2 games to the PS5. They got their jobs because of their work on PCSX2.
Edit: I’m going to go off a bit more, actually, because I’m sick of living in an era where zero-information dipshits can just say any unresearched, unsubstantiated bullshit online and put it into immediate contention with obvious, demonstrable facts presented with sourcing by a subject matter expert:
If you ever want to, it’s very easy to download.
