joeroe, 9 days ago (edited 9 days ago) to stackoverflow

Initially I was sad about #StackOverflow's collapse, not so much because I've contributed a lot to it (and as a #Wikipedian, I've already resigned myself to big tech trying to sell my own words back to me), but because I learned a lot of programming and statistics from it; it gave me focused answers to specific problems. It already bothered me that my students were turning to AI for that purpose, and now what I was telling them to use instead is turning into AI slop... (1/2)

When I edit a significant #Wikipedia page, esp. one that has editors with agendas, and the edit stands and isn't reverted, it makes me a proud #Wikipedian 😂

Hey, I take the joy where I find it.

Tales of @wikipedia

A very intellectual, and somewhat famous, person passed away.

Its intellectual friends want to keep editing his birth and date sections without any citations.

These are the 'smartest of smart' people yet they completely feel no need to rely on or conform to WP:BLP, section WP:BDP.

We understand your friend died. A single post on Twitter and Mastodon by the same person is not enough to meet the guidelines. #Wikipedia #Wikipedian
