hi all, toolforge.org is down, and with that the "zoom in" of pathways. We currently do not have an alternative. The toolforge server is hosting many things on the web, and the @wikimediafoundation surely will work hard to restore it soon. Check this page […]

Gotta say, the #wikimediafoundation is coming off really skeevy with this kind of stuff. #wikipedia
a screenshot of a donation popover on a Wikipedia page: "Knowledge is human. We're so sorry to interrupt, but we've made several attempts to reach you recently, because fewer people are donating this month. Time will soon run out to meet our goal, so if you've never donated, consider giving €2,75. Wikipedia doesn't charge anything, doesn't sell anything, and doesn't do ads. So please, give €2,75 today."

The Content Security Policy blocks scripts from the domains Wikidata.org and Wikifunktions.org. Isn't that a bit of an overkill in terms of security? 😃

If decentralization is the future of social media, where millions or even billions of people share knowledge, then we can learn a lot from how the Open Knowledge Foundation (@okfn) and the Wikimedia Foundation (@wikimediafoundation) built cross-border, international movements with clear missions […]

In light of US tech oligarchy setting its sights on Wikimedia Foundation, a historical detail I did not know before: #Wikipedia became the non-profit it is today partly as the result of a labour strike of Spanish Wikipedia editors who disagreed with the proposed inclusion of advertisements. Initially, it was not clear what revenue model Wikipedia would get, and Wales moved towards a for-profit model already a year after launch. However, rather than working for free, so Jimmy Wales could profit from their labour via advertising, Spanish contributors forked Spanish Wikipedia as the Encyclopedia Libre Universal. Under the threat of losing the editorial community of such a large language, Wales conceded and set up the non-profit. That is to say, however imperfect they are, all the digital commons we have are the result of ongoing struggle and hard work to keep them as commons.
