Ayer se averió un tren en Pueyo, cosas de la catenaria de esas que cuenta @brucknerite. A 40 grados. Pero esta vez llegó el pueblo: los poyeses (ese gentilicio me da la #wikipedia) les montaron un refresco en la piscina, con sombras, sillas y tumbonas, agua y bocatas. Veo las fotos de Javier Bergasa en @NoticiasDeNavarra y creo que a partir de ahora los 17 de agosto deberían hacer la Fiesta del Tren allí. Qué majos. (Quiero leer algo positivo hoy, lo necesito)

When I came across that claim, it had no citation, and I was pretty doubtful. I used WikiBlame https://wikipedia.ramselehof.de/wikiblame.php?user_lang=en&lang=en&project=wikipedia&tld=org&article=Duncan+U.+Fletcher&needle=weldon&skipversions=0&ignorefirst=0&limit=500&offmon=8&offtag=15&offjahr=2025&searchmethod=int&order=desc&user= and saw that a user had added this in 2007 along with many other no-citation claims.

So I started learning more about Fletcher and about Johnson, and editing the articles about them as I went.

#Wikipedia

Just because the UK always grovels to the US, doesnt mean that will be reciprocated

Not to defend 4chan (never used it, never will) but if the net result of this stupidity is that #wikipedia becomes unavailable in the UK while 4chan just carries on regardless ...WTAF

The UK Parliament can't ignore the growing public discontent with the Online Safety Act.

They must do more to protect freedom of expression from the vast and unwieldy provisions that are particularly impacting small sites and services.

The challenge to the UK Online Safety Act by @wikimediafoundation has been dismissed.

BUT there's still some good news for freedom of expression.

The High Court recognised that platforms have a public interest, not just commercial entities. It's clear that Ofcom must be flexible to protect this valuable resource, as well as small websites that can't bear the regulatory burden.

The UK may be about to lose access to Wikipedia as they've lost their High Court Challenge to OSA.

You can download Wikipedia by installing the @kiwix app https://kiwix.org/en/applications/

Then use https://library.kiwix.org/ to find Wikipedia, or any other interesting book. It will download a file (Wikipedia is 110gb) that you can then open in the Kiwix browser

In the case of #Wikipedia, though, printed copies should always offer &/or be accompanied with electronic copies. Wikipedia should really be under copyleft and it's not.

After all, paper printout is but a rudimentary form of DRM.

I'm not saying CC-BY-SA is useless and shouldn't exist, I'm saying there is no #copyleft in the CC license group. CC even used to encourage photographers license scaled versions CC-BY-SA & keep high quality images proprietary.
