The goal isn't to protect children,
the goal is to de-anonymize every comment and action on the internet, associating it with a legal ID, by eventually requesting official identification from every adult using a computer.

Some politicians have already stated this plainly.

This leads to censorship of anyone criticizing their government.

This leads to repression of marginalized people, especially immigrants, people of color, and trans and gender diverse people.

This leads to self-censorship of any comments or actions that could be interpreted against the system. Such as speaking out against fascism and authoritarian surveillance, or defending human rights publicly.

This leads to total control of the population and its tools of communications.

This leads to the end of democracy, centralizing power even more in the hands of a few.

Do not let them do this to us.

WikiGap është nismë që synon të zvogëlojë hendekun gjinor rreth shkrimit të artikujve për gratë në Wikipedia.

A e dini që 9 nga 10 redaktorë aktivë në Wikipedia janë burra (87%) dhe vetëm rreth 15% janë gra?

Me rastin e 8 marsit dhe mbështetjen e Ambasadës Suedeze, do mblidhemi për ta zvogëluar hendekun e shkrimit të artikujve për gratë nga gratë.

Si të merrni pjesë?

Now posted: my talk from @sotmeu back in November. I had a blast talking about the differences between American and European OpenStreetMap. I believe I was the only person from the US to fly in specifically for this conference. Great event!

A long shot. Does anyone know if the font/typeface that Casio used for the keys on their calculators back in the days is available as TrueType or SVG anywhere? I am weirdly fascinated by it and would love to use it for some displays.

UPDATE: It's most likely Eurostile, which derives from Microgramma.

The CIA World Factbook has been a reference work for many, including Wikipedia for many years. It's been killed. Just like that. But facts still matter! Can we rebuild something better on top of @wikidata? Hit me up if you're interested!
