  The more you research a specific topic the worse Wikipedia seems as a source. For a general overview before writing a paper and starting real research? It’s great.

  For actually researching and compuiling that paper? Terrible. The Wikipedia editors are people too and they cant know everything.

  I love Wikipedia and have donated and will donate again but looking back on it there’s a reason that most schools don’t let you source it as Wikipedia and make you look at the actual sources that Wikipedia uses.

  I’ve seen mostly around 1/3 which is not nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually it works every once and a while they have an update that breaks shit but they usually fix it pretty quickly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Things are about to finally change!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No in this comparison the firefighters let the arsonist start the fire and have talked a whole lot about how they are going to save my wife and children, but haven’t actually moved inside the house except for one firefighter, who the others admonished for being to radical.

  They think judges going against the Trump admin and then doing nothing to enforce it is an “L” for Trump some how.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Things are about to finally change!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They fumbled against fucking Trump. TWICE. I’m not going to campaign for slightly less bad than Trump because if that’s what they run again I’m done.

  Music piracy is just so much harder than streaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony Music Among Parties Pushing To Cut Off Internet for Pirating Customers — Supreme Court Asked To Intervene⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This made me audibly sigh. They won’t put it like this but this genuinely the future some people want.

  The trick is that they have to already want to do it. Or you have to have a position lined up for them if they go out of politics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Reddit Bot Drove Me Insane⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  lemm.ee blocks very few instances if you want true wild west.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume the best intentions of people that haven’t repeatedly proven that they do not have the best of intentions. Telsa has repeatedly shown that they are willing to break the law to accomplish something they want and this isn’t a huge step farther although considered.

  Sufficiently advanced ingorance is indistinguishable from malice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah fuck hanlons razor. Evil people can be stupid but they are still evil. If the incompetence reaches this point it is also malice.

  God I love trash isikai/fantasy anime.

  There’s a huge divide in computer literacy between first and second half gen Z.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looked it up and I had no idea how bad second hand vapor can be. I don’t vape or smoke but I’ll give them both the same level of stink eye going forward.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have asthma and when I walk past a smoker it makes it harder for me to breathe for a while afterwards. I don’t have the same issue with vapes though so I don’t really care about those even inside of they smell nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It would be nice to have the equivalent of a super like that’s not tied to anything. Maybe a once a day thing. Could be easily misused by people like me with a shot load of alts though so maybe it doesn’t federate?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you really have to let everyone know⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only one I’ve seen that has roughly equal distrobution is breeding and that’s like biologically wired into most people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s crazy to me. I constantly am talking to myself. Like a full on dialog with different “perspectives” and all that jazz.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does your inner monologue not say what you are typing in your head as you type?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How long have you had it? it took my current keyboard 3ish months to be as good as gboard which I had been using for years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think most people realize how much they rely on auto correct when they are on a phone. When I switched to a new keyboard because I like local hosting my voice recognition the auto correct was initially way worse and my typing speed went down by maybe half.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was pretty much only seeing people from my instance in comments. Or people that they followed. Joind an explicitly leftist instance because it had more charecterst to play with and it felt empty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh holy shit is that when I tried mastodon it felt like a ghost town with people only posting and no one engaging in discussions?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank you Gary ❤️⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I would kill for my mango loco monsters.

  Are they anything approaching healthy? no but I don’t really care since I assume something will probably kills me in the next few years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank you Gary ❤️⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Never smoked before but I think I have to now.

  I get the feeling that Nintendo hasn’t realized how much they shit the bed yet. I have seen so many people that day one bought the switch and sat in line to get one that just have lost interest in it simply based of the sheer greed they are expressing.
