Don’t fear death; it is a natural law. Don’t celebrate life; it is a natural law. Instead, celebrate good character and fear bad character, for these are your own creations. They are what truly elevate you—or consume you—in this life and the afterlife.

We can use our dreams to fuel our motivation, but our steps must be guided by reality, otherwise we will fail. We must be able to differentiate between dream and reality.

The judge in the case has threatened to order the government of India to shut down Wikipedia in India.

Nishant Shah, professor of Global Media at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and faculty associate at Harvard's Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society, and journalist Nikhil Phawa characterized the judge's order to WMF to release the identities of the editors who made the edits as censorship and a threat to the flow of information.

It's sad seeing Wikipedia in the crosshairs like this, but we're likely to see more of this from authoritarian states, the BRICS nations, and groups aligned with them.

Truth is their enemy, and Wikipedia is universally adored for actually doing a decent job at preserving truth in this post-truth era.

What those user details could be there is no info, but I imagine that if these accounts have email addresses attached, then these would be included, as well as any recent IP addresses used.
