I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors

“With fewer visits to Wikipedia, fewer volunteers may grow and enrich the content, and fewer individual donors may support this work.”

patrons are literally the only viable options creators have to survive right now. literally. myself included. and we're punished for panhandling, essentially.

sponsoring artist for the art they want to make, not for the art they CAN make for YOU, has to be normalized and encouraged.

I get the sentiment but equating independent creators trying to sustain financial support in the same breath as the enshittification web 2.0 corporate feudalism is ghoulish

should be worth pointing out creators often offer their work nearly completely free, subscription models are for bonus perks

You can just block stuff that sucks. You don’t have to be mad out loud or even care. You can just see it and quietly put it in the garbage forever

durfte mir grad 45min lang anhören, wie mein blue collar cousin sich über bürgergeldempfänger aufregt. zum abschied wurde dann noch gegen migranten geschossen. z. b. dagegen, dass sie mit schlechten deutschkenntnissen arbeiten gehen, und gleichzeitig, dass sie erst nach jahren arbeiten dürfen. 🤡

Viele Menschen die in #Bürgergeld leben, haben #Ängste, #Depression, #Existenzängste, #pflegen, mit #Kinderarmut, #PTBS, #LongCovid zu tun, oder sind #weiblich.

Dass sich die #CDU unter #Merz genau diese Gruppe zum Thema des Hasses und der Lügen gewählt hat, ist klar.

Sie können sich nicht wehren.

@ljmuses.bsky.social arranged marriage fic got me by the throat 💐
#jayvik #arcane

Jayce holds Viktor's hand and says "The prize for winning this (jousting), besides gold, is a kiss in the cheek from you."
Viktor has knowing look on his face and answers, "I am aware."
Jayce responds, "If I accept this (an offering from Viktor) I expect a kiss on the lips when I win."
Viktor, blushing, frets shock and says, "Jayce!"
Jayce has a goofy smirk on his face.

Jayce "spreads his legs when he's scared or threatened" talis and terrifying "creature beyond human comprehension that strikes terror into the heart of mankind" viktor are such a power couple honestly

-But you're *my* monster." 🍂

#jayvik #jaycexviktor #arcanefanart #jayvikfanart #jayviktoberkhloq2025

Jayce is hugging Arcane Herald Viktor dearly in his arms, looking at him with a big smile and love in his eyes. AH Vik seems to be a bit reticent by this show of love, but look back at Jayce fondly 🥰 he is wearing his cape inside out so the red is shown and not the blue!

Now's the time to call up Visa/MC to ask 'hey, how come you guys will pay for ChatGPT and Twitter subs but I can't buy certain games off of Steam?' Because I frankly would LOVE an answer to that...

Sam Altman suggests ChatGPT is cannibalizing your fanfic and erotica to make its own clanker porn, rolling out this December.

ChatGPT just got filthy after new update lets it talk dirty to you
