There's been a few updates in the relevant PACER docket by now.
How did Wikimedia respond, can you see the doc?
No, I don't have a PACER subscription, but maybe you can make a shared account and subscription on PACER for all of us here?

Re: Lawsuit: Wikipedia fired transgender worker who complained about harassment

There's been a few updates in the relevant PACER docket by now. https://www.pacermonitor.com/public/case/57775875/Mae_v_Wikimedia_Foundation,_Inc_ So what was their response? Besides changing attorneys. Maybe something like "this person is mentally ill can't believe a word they say?" Now we got ano...

Re: Massive leak on Wikimedia sites

Uhm...please explain how finding stuff in the trash means anything: "Including millions of deleted articles, tens of millions of deleted revisions, and (!!!) hundreds of thousands of overnighted revisions" .

Re: I made an alternative to wikipedia

I got sick of wikipedia denying 90% of information, they have an elitism problem, the pages are almost impossible to edit, so I made an alternative, to try resolving some of those problems; Compendium https://indiegamenews.github.io/Compendium/Home.html It allows anyone to create or edit an article...

Re: "Global Resource Distribution Committee"

Thanks a lot, but I might need to rephrase another earlier question. Was the leak done by simply accessing Wikipedia's databases or something similar through browsers and/or so on, where "hundreds of gigabytes of sensitive information" were downloaded?

Re: Massive leak on Wikimedia sites

A 72 hour clock, which I arbitrarily started with the following post on Wikipediocracy, is going to finish ticking. After that WMF would likely face huge fines from data protection authorities in Europe for failing to disclose breach in due time. https://wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=...

Re: Massive leak on Wikimedia sites

Whoever created that Mastodon account, using my email? It got banned. Nice work. Apparently it's no longer permitted to criticize WP on Mastodon servers. bannedfrommastodon.jpg I will tell Ashley Rindsberg about that. Who was behind the account though? I have operational control of the account. Any...
