Content warning: uspol, White House ballroom
One of the current outrageous U.S. news of the moment is the ongoing demolition of the White House East Wing to make way for the construction of Trump’s ostentatious state ballroom.
Anyway, I got curious and was not at all surprised to see that #OpenStreetMap is already updated.

Six degrees of #Wikipedia is a site that lets you type in two different topics and then shows how many Wikipedia pages apart they are. It also displays a visual chart for each pair of topics you enter.
The chart includes the two topics you entered, and all the other ones that build bridges connecting the two.
And while you’re at it, consider making a donation to help support wiki.

«younger generations are seeking information on social video platforms rather than the open web. This gradual shift is not unique to #Wikipedia. Many other publishers and content platforms are reporting similar shifts as users spend more time on search engines, AI chatbots, and social media to find information.»
All of those "alternatives" are facilitated through algorithmic recommendation engines designed to maximize profits, what could possible go wrong there…

Wikipedia’s rejoinder to Ted Cruz is entirely fair and accurate, but don’t kid yourself that Cruz is interested in fairness or accuracy, he’s just pushing back against the tendency of factual reporting to exhibit a liberal bias.

Elon #Musk kritisiert Wikipedia – „zu links, zu objektiv“ – und baut mit #Grokipedia eine „bessere“ Online-Enzyklopädie. Pikant: Viele Artikel sind einfach „adaptiert“ aus dem Original. Musk zitiert am liebsten sich selbst, aber bedient sich munter bei

The proposal to close the Greenlandic #Wikipedia is currently under review: “Most articles are short or unintelligible, and machine-generated content—initially from experimental Greenlandic machine translators and more recently from AI tools like Google Translate—has frequently produced nonsense that could misrepresent the language.”

As part of my work with @…, I have written up some ideas about understanding online communities as ecosystems and how it could help us conserve & maintain them by adapting methods from the environmental sciences to model digital pollution. This could apply to communities & commons including #opensource #wikipedia or the #fediverse.
We're looking for folks to collaborate on this with us, so if that sounds up your alley, please get in touch!

Which open source wiki software is state of the art? My requirements:
* can be hosted in a docker container/docker compose setup
* still maintained
* simple user management (if at all)
* user friendly (can be used by non-tech people)
Fediverse go!

The annual fundraiser support for Wikimedia from the richest man in the world is a dystopian right-wing infused parody site of #Wikipedia.
So if you‘d rather support free access to the sum of all human knowledge instead of billionaire tech bros, you get a chance to donate out of spite.
