They’d probably spend resources on that if there was a critical mass of people. The reason they don’t care is that people aren’t on the Fediverse.

Also if there is constant outages as well, it’s not just about Internet connection. The impact is much larger on everything.

Yeah, the definition is (or at least used to be) that a startup doesn’t have a business model yet.

“One of the things I really love about Wikipedia is it forces you to have measured, emotionless conversations with people you disagree with in the name of trying to construct the accurate narrative,”

Yeah, I think what makes Wikipedia resilient is that you can’t just go there and say something subjective. You need to find the correct way to state the actual fact, even when it can have different interpretations. Cause that way, no group can contest it.

I’d love to play around with something like this, as a programmer myself, but unfortunately the cost is prohibitive in my country.

I don’t know, even people here are already considering it a loss of the only way is through ADB, because it’s not practical for everyday usage. But it’s better than nothing.

I think adb can also work over Wi-Fi, just like Android Studio can connect to the phone and build and install without plugging it.

But I guess those don’t have Google Play or anything Google, they’re more like a limited Android.

This might be another example of over reliance on AI to judge what’s good or not to show users: https://news.clownfishtv.com/p/reddit-asks-did-youtube-break-itself

Thank you for saving me a click.

I'm not writing a paper or essay.. so my standards are different.

It actually shouldn’t matter in this case. Wikipedia isn’t a “source” of anything, it simply states facts and backs them with sources (though not always, many articles will have a “missing source” for many paragraphs). It’s also public, so anyone can add things without it being peer reviewed.

So if you actually care about whether some information is correct, you should check what is the source. And if something is wrong you can do your part and change the text to be more neutral or better phrased. Edits that improve pages are almost always gonna stick.

In the end it’s all ant’s work to update/fix the huge number of badly written stuff in there.
