Put a teaspoon of salt in a glass of water and it is so salty you can barely sip it without gagging. Put a teaspoon of sugar in a glass of water and it is mildly sweet.

How could this possibly be better than Netflix’s recommendation engine or even just asking chatgpt?

Food from thousands of miles away in abundant quantities.

Your car has rolled into a ravine and is now on fire. Roll a save against car insurance bankrupcy.

So its like Ntop for Kubernetes? Is it better than Ntop?

At least they did not become the unabomber?

Ok I see a lot if discussion on this topic but no one seems to have mentioned the main feature of the spec that makes them phishing resistant: presence detection. This is what makes FIDO resistant to credential replay. The spec is not perfect but it prevents most common phishing attacks.

I transitioned to an ebike.

I enjoy watching sports, but I do not obsess over it. I have a MythTV DVR setup to record OTA broadcasts. It records some matches, I watch those matches. I skip all the commercials and a lot of the boring bits TBH. Sometimes I go watch highlights on Youtube of my favorite teams.

The real crime here is the corruption of our political system by wealthy corporations. They know the truth but deploy vast resources to spread doubt and uncertainty. Go read Merchants of Doubt about how the same scientists who spread doubt about the links of cancer to smoking have been deployed in the global warming debate.

This is fraud and corruption and is a crime. No need to invent a new system of justice.

That makes sense. It is interesting to read the original blog post from Wikimedia:

and what they say you can do if you want to help:

"Active volunteers can further help meet this moment by working with Wikimedia Foundation teams to test out new experiences and tools on Wikipedia. As the internet changes rapidly, this is a moment to consider what parts of Wikipedia should change (and what parts should not), while staying true to the promise of human-centered, free knowledge for the world.

A specific area where volunteers can help is with our new readers teams. We welcome you to review the current experiments we are running and help us answer key questions about what will most help readers. Please join the readers teams on their talk page and sign up for their newsletter to share your thoughts and learn more about their work. We’ll also be reaching out to communities soon with both live and on-wiki ways to talk about these trends, and what they mean for the Wikimedia projects."

Every time someone visits Wikipedia they make exactly $0. In fact, it costs them money. Are people still contributing and/or donating? These seem like more important questions to me.
