I recommend starting with a low-FODMAP diet.

No problem at all. Full disclosure: I’m a longtime member of and frequent contributor to Wikipedia. I have a bias in this. I’ll say, however, that because we’re not a monolith, internal criticism of the project is varied, rampant, and welcomed. It’s no surprise when the entire draw of editing is “this thing sucks; make it better”. Criticism is so prolific that for the project’s 25th anniversary, the English Wikipedia’s official newsletter, The Signpost, published a dire, 6500-word warning about the project’s trajectory.
We’re constantly looking for criticism so we can improve, and it’s why, if you can believe it, we love seeing new faces and articles published like “I tried to edit Wikipedia for a week; here’s how it burned my house down”. What we don’t value, however, is criticism made in bad faith; there’s nothing to talk about when one side of the discussion wants to just sit around and Gish gallop all day for transparent political ends.

For those out of the loop, this user’s entire purpose on Lemmy is to spread negative coverage of Wikipedia, one of the few remaining strongholds against far-right disinformation.

If you use DuckDuckGo, just type
!wt wordyouwant. This takes you to the English Wiktionary entry, where Wiktionary is a (really rich and underappreciated) sister project to Wikipedia that acts as an every-language-to-English dictionary (or e.g. an every-language-to-French dictionary in the case of fr.wiktionary.org, etc.) - Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
Ah, yeah, I knew what you meant. I just thought it was funny imagining the serious tone of Blade Runner’s replicants pasted onto Reddit bots astroturfing for Burger King.

Quite an experience to live in fear, isn’t it? That’s what it is to be a corporate troll manipulating public opinion.

This blog post was plausibly written by AI. Look at the fabricated sources and the wording.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
I don’t think we know what the actual figure is because this blog post ostensibly fabricates this alleged 2020 study.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
The study is likely fabricated by this blog post from what I can find.

God up in fucking heaven. This person writes an entire-ass blog post about this 2020 Computers in Human Behavior study and can’t even be fucked to link it, name its authors, or even say what the title is. I cannot find this paper anywhere. I looked through all twelve 2020 issues of Computers in Human Behavior and could not find this study. I searched keywords. Nothing.
What an obnoxious fucking dipshit and their useless fucking unsourced piece of shit screed.

- Comment on US teachers union says it is leaving X over sexualized AI images of children 5 days ago:
In an interview with Reuters, AFT President Randi Weingarten said that the site had already been degraded by extremists and trolls since Elon Musk’s 2022 takeover, before which the platform was known as Twitter. But the recent proliferation of nonconsensual images of women and children in bikinis or underwear generated by X’s artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, had made the site unusable, she said.
And here’s your “you helped enable this; don’t expect a pat on the back” trophy.

To elaborate on what’s already common knowledge, feeding bread to birds is a fucking terrible idea in every way. Nobody wins except potentially some algae that gets some new kids, a mold that gets a lovely new home in a respiratory tract, or a fox that gets easy prey unable to fly.

No, no, you can clearly see “PETA” inscribed on his pants, and he’s here to tell Elmo about the animal abuse in glass and his bread.

Some do, some don’t. Within the PCSX2 project, a lot of members like to call RetroAchievements “RCheevos” (in large part, admittedly, because “RA” could be confused for “RetroArch”). Personally I think it sounds kind of dumb and prefer to just say “achivement”.

- Comment on Are you telling me a shrimp fried this rice? 2 weeks ago:
The AI slop version is kind of cursed given the first of a shrimp’s five pairs of legs is a set of chelipeds – namely legs bearing (smol) claws like in crabs, lobsters, etc.
TL;DR it’s wearing jeans over its arms.
- Comment on Are you telling me a shrimp fried this rice? 2 weeks ago:
Only three pairs of pants
Someone is not a real shrimp fan. Should be four. (Chelipeds obviously aren’t covered.)

Oh hell yeah. I don’t do too much research into shrimps, but if you ever fall way too far down that rabbit hole, the guy to go to is Sammy De Grave at the University of Oxford. He works on WoRMS (the World Register of Marine Species) and absolutely loves them. Really nice guy.

Congratulations on iNaturalist! We use images from iNaturalist on Wikipedia all the time, so we’re intensely grateful for the work y’all do. Did you see any crabs by any chance?

- Comment on Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year 3 weeks ago:
You don’t have to pay more than the 45 € beginner pack
That’s an absolutely obscene ask for a game that has no prospects of being finished in the foreseeable future – let alone that it intentionally puts you at a disadvantage to players who paid hundreds of euros for this stupid piece of shit grift.
- Comment on Hacktivists scrape 86M Spotify tracks, claim their aim is to preserve culture 4 weeks ago:
did not bother reading the source blog
That’s rich given the source blog says “86 million music files” the paragraph after saying 186 million ISRCs. You apparently read less of it than The Register’s writer did.
