I view political articles on Wikimedia's Wikipedia similar to how i view media sources such as Radio Free Asia. There is really nothing democratic or open about the political content you will find there. There are even seemingly obsess

This article starts off with meeting between Graham/Goss and Mahmoud Ahmed, or 'Mehmood Ahmed' as it is spelled some other places. Also, what is the reason spellings always differ so much? https://archive.is/t

Good. I ruined my damned brain playing stupid first person shooters for disgusting amounts of hours from like age 12-22. Aside from the social life i lost out on, I really think my brain is permanently deprived of chemicals.

Organizations like Bellingcat are really just sort of less-than-professional press outlets for the intelligence agencies. The information is controlled, the interpretation is biased because of spook affiliation at the highest levels, and th

Yes, i don't think people realize just how ruthlessly enforced alignment with US foreign policy goals is on Wikipedia. In matters of foreign governments and current events related to war, Wikipedia is essentially a propaganda page of t

I don't think anyone with actual power over the issues wants shorter prison sentences. The public loses money on prisons, but there is an industry of basically sucking profits off all the different things that prisoners do throughout t

Just my reaction take on the Marc Polymeropoulos guy, i watched some videos and i don't trust him. Feels like they made up a story and he is the designated person to tell it. Also maybe unrelated how come he doesn't have a Wikiped

I guess there is also the possibility that they just changed their mind and didn't want it to be usable consumer technology at this time? Maybe i am being overly suspicious, but i guess it seems to be at least a little strange that DAR

Definitely not a fan of this new wave of whatever you might call it... even-more-direct opinion management than the media already gives us, i guess. Whether it be Facebook partnering with the Atlantic Council, sites like Snopes, Google rank

I will have to read this. My hope is when i do read there is some stuff in about exploitation. I tend to see exploitative systems kind of like cancer. Many exploitative systems can exist in cities. I wonder if they have made space in the st

Thank you for the brain dump. I liked that this came up. I used tree style tabs for a few years starting way back in maybe 2012, but eventually just abandoned it because of the same performance problems you mentioned. I didn't replace

I am glad this came up. I had just started work on synchronizing my Emacs org-mode clock tasks with tree style tabs and i see there are some other good things to check out in this thread. Also signed up for Skeema waiting list.

I found an article which points out some negative things Feynman's did that i was not aware of. It is an interesting take by a woman who was essentially driven away from her natural direction in science by bad behavior of men in academ

I think you are kind of overlooking that the situation is a bit more complicated than just some of the defectors telling conservative pundits what they want to hear. It seems to me from a little digging that detainment of former citizens of

Important to note that the US Agency for Global Media was funding and supporting the Hong Kong protests [1]. China could never get away with doing the same thing in the US. The fact is that media bubbles are a powerful tool. There is a reas
