It's been murdered by some greedy cunts like everything else that was once good about the Internet.
I suggest that everyone downloads the entire database while they still can before it's forever corrupted with corporate and political lies and AI garbage.

@richpuchalsky @Em0nM4stodon I've used both Xowa and kiwix for offline browsing of #wikipedia . #Kiwix blows #Xowa out of the water for both browsing and searching speed. I have the 109GB 2024 Wikipedia on a #RaspberyPi 5, with an inexpensive, lacklustre-brand SSD as the boot drive/system drive (in a decent, inexpensive SATA-to-USB3 enclosure). The Raspberry Pi doesn't break any sweat with browsing and searching; rather it yawns in boredom. The disk IO is superb.

Why does XOWA do this?
And how do I fix it?
