Oof. I use archive.today (archive.is, archive.ph, etc.) to bypass paywalls but their malicious behavior is pretty bad. 😒
@johl@mastodon.xyz"#Wikipedia editors have implemented new policies and restricted a number of contributors who were paid to use AI to translate existing Wikipedia articles into other languages after they discovered these AI translations added AI “hallucinations,” or errors, to the resulting article."

@danyork@mastodon.socialWhen you're at home waiting for someone's plane to take off at the nearby airport, what do you do to occupy yourself while you are waiting?
I know some people doom-scroll social media... some watch a show... some read...

@danyork@mastodon.socialTonight would have been a great night to have been #livestreaming my #Wikipedia editing… my Watchlist had all sorts of fun! A spammer, an actual edit war with a few editors teaming to stop someone who kept trying to add some opinionated text, an editor doing some amazing cleanup of reference…
