Not a bad theory. The Anonymous that we know is long gone, so the new blood has to be from somewhere.

Love seeing all these client updates!!

Another day, another stupid 180 from our mercurial king 🙃

when the markets are this chaotic, only the wealthy can afford to trade futures. The rest of us can’t afford the risk to our life savings.

thank you for the work you do! Quick question: why was the icon changed to a black background vs the previous blue one? I have noticed many roku apps seem to be shifting to a black background, maybe it’s just a strange coincidence but curious if there was any specific reason for that change.

Don’t they use quantum dots in some OLEDs? Isn’t that what QD-OLED is?

seems strange for you to criticize the quality of Wikipedia, then? you have personal experience that demonstrates why these volunteers are putting their time towards this instead of towards editing articles - editing articles is a difficult and sometimes contentious process.

honestly you aren’t wrong. I’d guess it’s just a case of the Wikipedia photo being a bottom priority for them, but then you would think “update Wikipedia photo” would be somewhere on every publicist’s to-do list. Maybe this project will encourage more publicists to explore how to do this.

and none of those are the ones currently used on his article lol

Wikipedia focuses on those other issues as well, they just happen to be a group of volunteers trying to manage the most comprehensive repository of information that the world has ever seen. If you see issues with articles, you are always welcome to sign up and edit the articles yourself!

Wikipedia does such a solid, unmitigated GOOD service for the world, especially the English speaking world.

Lol EXCELLENT example of the kind of photo Wikiportraits is trying to replace. It’s hilarious, but not great for the internet’s most reliable resource.

I hate how likely this is. I can’t imagine any scenario where the Trump DOJ does something like this unselfishly, and Google has already kowtowed to the Trump admin. There must be a specific Trump ally they have in mind that would buy that from Google, Musk is just the most likely.

Pi Holes are awesome! Blocking ads at the router level is a great idea. However, I have heard they can be a bit finicky, so not the best solution for all.

This article is from 2017?

Not sure what you are trying to get at?

Welcome to any reddit refugees that might be reading these comments! we are cool beeple, i promise

yeah i mean i know my workarounds like old.reddit and certain third party apps that still work, but most users aren’t doing that. Everytime i accidentally end up on the default reddit experience i am amazed by how messy, ad-riddled, and annoying it is to use. If that was the only way i knew how to use the site, I would simply open the site less.

thx Pete <3

I think Rose hits this point pretty good:

It’s not that social media is fundamentally evil or bereft of any good qualities. Some of my best post-Twitter moments have been spent goofing around with mutuals on Bluesky, or waxing romantic about the joys of human creativity and art-making in an increasingly AI-infested world. But when it comes to addressing the problems we face, no amount of posting or passive info consumption is going to substitute the hard, unsexy work of organizing.

so keep doing it to have fun if it’s what you do for fun! just don’t make the mistake of thinking it is a substitute for direct action. Personally, I think good political memes might be one of the few things we can actually do online to change minds. a funny meme that also makes a good point will probably reach way more people than a well-written article that makes the same point!
