I can’t quite read the top part because it’s upside down. What are flat earthers outside of Australia getting paid to do?

I honestly have to pretend that sexism in STEM is nowhere near as bad as I know it is for the sake of my own mental health. I’ve heard incredible stories of blatant sexism from colleagues and friends that I just can’t fathom

This funny story really brought a lot of great accounts out of the woodwork to block!

The town I live in renovated a park to have a gigantic playground, and every nice weekend day I’ve been there there’s tons of kids and parents there. On Halloween there were tons of kids out despite it being around 0F out that night. But random weeknights? I don’t see kids playing in yards much. I don’t see kids riding their bikes to convenience stores to get snacks. I think the risk acceptance of parents has shifted a lot plus kids are more able to occupy themselves with fondleslabs so they have multiple reasons to not go outside

I can see the benefit for when different groups of Wikipedia editors have differing policy opinions where for an average user both the fork and the original are perfectly fine but now information is in both places or worse some in one and some in the other, especially for cross linking purposes. Wikipedia can hyperlink to wookiepedia for star wars stuff and wookiepedia can hyperlink to the aaroads wiki when referencing highways for example. It all become one much larger wiki effectively.

On the other hand, part of the draw of Wikipedia is the extremely high editing and page creation standards that has led to such a high quality source of information

Edit to add a positive and a negative:

I can see a federated wiki being very good for project wikis especially when linking to other projects, as well as for some level of redundancy

But also this is being developed by one of the 2 Lemmy developers, who still haven’t implemented many of the needed moderation and administration tools for Lemmy
