Re: This perfectly describes Wikipedia's collapse
Alt right influencers panning Wikipedia for being too easily influenced by an editor with pedophilia leanings. https://x.com/echetus/status/1938243341982044306 Elon Musk is now aware of it. https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1938363651364426229 That was only yesterday. I could tell these "angry libertar...

Re: Hostile BLPs
They COULD have a hostile BLP about Joel Koskan. But they have nothing, probably because he never won an election. A "pillar of the community" and Republican politician, convicted of incest? Normally one of their "socially aware" nerds would be all over this. The "rules" are not really rules at all-...

Re: This popped into my YouTube feed a day ago...
The Penn Central makes a great target for satire. Once among the largest railroads in the world, crashed into the ground by savagely incompetent management despite having a near-license to print money. More people should take shots at the "Pennsy". (Of course they won't as it's now "ancient history"...

Re: This perfectly describes Wikipedia's collapse
All I can say is: Big Whoop. Musk has no say over Wikipedia , he is allegedly desperately trying to keep Tesla afloat (but if he's wasting time on ex-Twitter , then he knows his car company is sunk), he shot any remaining goodwill with his Roman salute antics and DOGE. Hope you're right, although a...

Re: WPO talks about the AI storm
The AI issue is going to be the biggest one at WP over the next five years. The hatred for generative AI among Wikipedians is palpable; and the desire for WMF engineering careerists to add AI-something-something to their resume is irresistible... And Jimmy Wales is an absolutely unprincipled weeble...

Re: "Tenet Media never existed"
Might as well add a bit of trivia: Tim Pool's "career" is the butt of a million Russian-asset and bad-pundit memes all over social media. His multiple YT channels and podcasts continue raking in good money--but most people (who have even heard of him!) seem to consider him a joke. One could say the ...

Re: AI lays another Wiki-Egg
Two weeks later and the SAS project was "paused" so they could run "surveys". And you can guess how well THAT went. Further babbling here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Simple_summaries:_editor_survey_and_2-week_mobile_study They were actually, seriously talking ab...
Re: He gone
I think Bbb23 just won't edit and will become an inactive account. Inactive accounts lose their admin privileges. Usually they do, and it might take months or years. Don't be a bit surprised if he and his supporters are just waiting for the stink to blow over. He's OBSESSED, he won't just drop his ...

Re: This perfectly describes Wikipedia's collapse
What are you talking about? All I see in that thread is loads of complaining about favorite playgrounds being demolished, airport security, and assorted other things that were easier before abusive lawsuits and social media. Someone should have posted an item about the general-aviation manufacturers...
Re: He gone
Beeb logged in twice since the 9th, on the 13th and the 18th, just to remove some blabbering on his talkpage. NO ONE is allowed to point out that Beeb has a long history of abuse. Obviously he only wants to see supporters here. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Bbb23&diff=prev&old...
