Hi, I'm Hannah Clover :) I like editing Wikipedia, running, nature photographs, knitting, and playing video games. I think the world would be a better place if we were all much kinder to one another.

Hundreds of prolific Wikipedia editors are threatening to go on strike

After layoffs at the Wikimedia Foundation, which supports Wikipedia, volunteer editors of the encyclopedia are discussing striking in protest.

The Verge
Probably going to take a break from #Wikipedia for a little bit (in other words, strike a bit early). Hearing Jimmy say that I'm misleading people when he hasn't bothered to explain why these changes are necessary has made me lose my remaining hope that the foundation will do the right thing by following my fairly common sense advice on how to fix this immediate crisis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(WMF)#c-Jimbo_Wales-20260528111500-Clovermoss-20260526220000
Wow, now I feel clairvoyant.

Nice to see a piece that pushes back against the AI “revolution”. I think part of why this logic bothers me so much is that is that it assumes
1. That women aren't doing this for logical reasons
2. That change must be forced upon them
3. It doesn't matter what they want

It should be a no-brainer why that kind of "logic" is infuriating.

Celebrities are urging women to use more AI, and their followers aren't having it | CBC News

Author and podcast host Mel Robbins received heavy backlash earlier this month for telling her 12.3 million Instagram followers to use more AI, including for sensitive financial information. She's echoing recent messaging from a number of celebrities, including actor Reese Witherspoon, encouraging women to use more AI or risk being "left behind."

I had a nightmare about Wikipedia last night and that happens far more often that I'd like.

German outlets are reporting about a study done by lobbyists that (miraculously) found that businesses are unhappy with the GDPR.

Obviously, this still hasn't been said enough: the GDPR's purpose isn't making businesses happy! Its purpose is to protect our rights. It's necessary because far too many businesses won't respect our privacy unless they're forced to!

If running their business responsibly is such a huge burden for them, maybe they should let someone else do it.

I just posted this announcement to wikitech-l mailing list.

"The more I thought about it, the more I just started getting more and more sick to my stomach," she says. "This person who I'm supposed to be able to trust with some very private and very intense emotions had just completely disregarded something I said I was not comfortable with. I felt completely violated."

It looks like I never posted about the time Wired called me the "de facto spokesperson for the cohort of Wikipedia's Gen Z editors" so um here's me linking the article now: https://www.wired.com/story/wikipedias-existential-threats-have-never-been-greater that title feels especially relevant right now for reasons 😅
Wikipedia’s Existential Threats Feel Greater Than Ever

As the free online encyclopedia turns 25, it’s facing political opposition, AI scraping, dwindling volunteers, and a public that may no longer believe in its ideals.
