Re: The (new, straight-from-scratch) Trump thread

illegally influence the 2016 election by arranging payments that silenced claims potentially harmful to his candidacy. I just don't get what the illegal part is. I'm also not that knowledgeable in this. I think he probably committed grave crimes RE: Georgia, but this is all about adultery and falsi...

Re: The (new, straight-from-scratch) Trump thread

I'm unable to make sense of how these ("hush money conspiracy") charges/convictions are felonies or even a sign he was being immoral. This would in theory only be a crime among social conservatives, but there's a lot of social conservatives among Democrats I guess. At worst it just shows Trump is a ...

Re: AI Is Tearing Wikipedia Apart

For a few years Wikipedians on talk pages have been showing resignation that a sufficiently funded Google-Gemini-powered encyclopedia would, by merely existing, outperform them. Specifically outperform them in their nominal goal of "taking Google material and arranging it into encyclopedia articles ...

I think this is what a more mature article would look like. The one on Justapedia now. It's basically the 2012 English Wikipedia article tripled in size and with the more obnoxious incel self-back-patting removed, and also the anti-incel stuff, when it is nonsensical, removed or in a controversy sec...

Re: Twitter's decline

It's now entirely "X", including the domain name, starting a few hours ago.

And also Firefox with tracking-blocking doesn't work on it now, unless you turn on tracking. Just gives you a big message suggesting to turn off tracking.
