@brooke My urologist says this is the way.

Are we all millenials here or is that a misperception?

Could people boozt this? I am so curious.

I’m happy to be able to say that I’m a part of the Wikimedia movement. Paying my bills by promoting open knowledge and open source software is an amazing privilege as well.

Looking forward to a day of #wikipedia25 content and reflections.

Happy 25th to #Wikipedia, the largest repository of knowledge in human history!

To celebrate, I wrote for @freedomofpress about how Wikipedia would not exist today without the robust free speech and press protections in the U.S., and that we need to sustain and expand them if we want to survive for another 25 years.

@brainwane Glad to be of service I guess. Maybe we’ll get a magic Supreme Court ruling that upholds the plain text of the constitution to stop this madness. Maybe.

Exactly 20 years ago today, jQuery was announced to the world!

🧵 Thread:

jQuery was announced at BarCamp NYC on January 14, 2006 by John Resig @jeresig, and is now maintained by the jQuery Team including Timmy @timmywil, Michał @mgol and myself (on the infra side).

Usage still grows every year, both in traffic (via the jQuery CDN) and number of distinct sites overall (incl self-hosted and other CDNs).

Listened to a voicemail yesterday that seemed like just another shipping scam at first, but the tracking number checked out. Turns out that the FedEx processing workflow for verifying goods expected to be subject to US import tariffs sounds scammy to me.

The Invention of Anarchism -

Reviewing a particular class of photos from my adventures in Portugal last month.

A comic from 2022. I want to make a distinction between the Democrats who are speaking out forcefully against authoritarianism and those whose overcautious approach enabled the extremist takeover of our institutions. This is about the dangers of unaccountability and kicking the can down the road. As recent elections demonstrate, voting is still extremely important.

Every once in a while I browse https://bash.toolforge.org/search (undocumented reverse chronological quip listing) to see what quips the kids are saving these days. I’m always happy to remember that others like and use that tool too.

@firefoxwebdevs The frame of this question is risible.

I am begging you to just make a web browser.

Make it the best browser for the open web. Make it a browser that empowers individuals. Make it a browser that defends users against threats.

Do not make a search engine. Do not make a translation engine. Do not make a webpage summariser. Do not make a front-end for an LLM. Do not make a client-side LLM.

Just. Make. A. Web. Browser.

Please.

@Life_is I hope that we can keep it that way. Musk certainly seems to have an intent to supplant the Wikimedia community’s projects with a newspeak version that he has tighter editorial control of.

Happy All Traitors to the US Constitution Can Fuck Off Into the Sun Day, I hope it is a blessed day for you

@taavi I think this thought has a strong correlation with feelings folks outside of/new to WMCS have about that platform.

Wikipedia. (Everyone else already said Scrivener.) A lot of my work requires a great deal of research. A lot more than people even begin to realize.
Wikipedia is basically my one-stop shop for finding it. Especially with the search engines turned to pure fucking worthless slop. The paper I'm looking for won't show up there, but somebody cited it as a source, so it's right there on Wikipedia.

Don’t forget to check the talk page to see how folks collaborate and debate how to document and cite controversial actions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2026_United_States_strikes_in_Venezuela
