I've been thinking since my early teens if not earlier that copyright is an outdated law in the digital age. If this dispute leads to more people realizing this, good.

awooo

AFAIK they mostly try to stay away from humans. Humans are mostly their competitors and they can smell the presence of humans earlier than we can see them, so they can avoid us before we even know they are there.

There are quite a few videos on the Internet of wolves being very friendly to humans, but I don't think those are wild ones.

I think it originally did under old Unix, it was what /home is nowadays; "Unix System Resources" is a backronym.

Why does it seem you have all of a sudden started to look at information about sexual orientation? Did you miss that in the current information overload, everyone gets exposed to different information and no one can tell you why you are getting exposed to whatever you are getting exposed to?

That is the reason why you're glad you don't have kids? Because if you did you wouldn't be able to control what information they receive?

??? reply to the wrong comment?

No, it doesn't.

The Wikimedia projects are made by volunteers, almost none of the money goes to actually making the content. Some of it does go into keeping the servers running or into software development.

And some of it goes into expanding an ever-increasing bureaucracy, which is tasked among other things with enforcing intransparent "global bans" or lighter sanctions against contributors the WMF doesn't like (opinions of the editing community don't matter at all on these). If they had less money, perhaps they would lay off some of their trust and safety team and not catch some people who are making useful contributions by evading global bans.

There are so many more worthy free knowledge organizations to donate to: OpenStreetMap, FOSS projects (e.g. Software in the Public Interest), even Miraheze.

Climate change doesn't change how much the sun shines. Where I live it has been getting noticeably warmer during my lifetime especially in the colder months, but this hasn't changed that it's dark in those months.

Debian is food at peaceful !

Even if you agree with that argument (which I don't), that was written about ideologies like fascism, Nazism, Stalinism, which were (when they were relevant) actually very suppressive of free speech when they were in power, more so than current left-leaning authoritarians who are defending the blocking of ex-Twitter in Brazil or (worse) saying that other countries should do similar things.

seasonal affective depression... if you are going to move somewhere remote, move into a desert or rainforest (i.e. near the equator), not places like Canada, Alaska, Siberia, or indeed Greenland

Protecting citizens from receiving the wrong kind of information about political matters? That doesn't sound democratic at all, much less like an important thing.

When I was younger I was taught that authoritarianism was a trait of right-wing politics.

I believed that at the time.

What I was taught was wrong, as we can see in this article.

it is also the name of the city of Rome in many languages (e.g. Italian), but that is not what is intended here

Why would someone aged 10 or 11 ever think, even for one moment, that anti-aging products (any, whatsoever, at all!) are something they might need?!

"kids shouldn't be on the Internet" "we need to regulate social media" "we need to ban the sale of this or that to young people" blahblahblah - no, we apparently need to teach kids basic common sense, such as that if you aren't even fully grown yet, you definitely do not need anti-aging products

yeah but tbh if you buy your groceries from amazon you probably didn't care about data privacy at all ever

I bought groceries online a few times during the pandemic, never before or after that, and not on Amazon, only at a grocery store chain's web shop. Good luck recommending anything to me based on what I eat.

Yes; more interesting is which videos are at the top of a search for, say, "Kamala Harris" or "Donald Trump"; if those videos tell lies about these people (which could cause them to lose an election in a few months), what is the liability there?
