@Gargron@mastodon.social I'm a Wikipedia regular. If you have a photo that you're willing to share under CC-BY/CC-BY-SA or public domain, I or one of my comrades can help you with the process.
Yikes I think that crack of thunder set off a car alarm #melbourne
I got (anonymously) quoted by @404mediaco@mastodon.social – not my slightly unhinged rant, though

Hey #Wikipedia editors, you might find this useful for grabbing #citation metadata without having to wade through publisher cruft – works for papers indexed in #CrossRef, not just #ACM

@adrian@discuss.systems This is amazing! Small nitpick, the example URL on the home page still starts with http:// al.radbox.org (not https)

@Natasha_Jay I'm seriously considering retreating to Gemini (*not* the Google thing) or even Gopher which is still alive in some places.

@taffypeppers @Gargron Images can also be added to Wikimedia Commons to be shared across all Wikimedia projects (e.g. Wikipedias in other languages) if they have one of the licences at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing#Acceptable_licenses

@ErikUden@mastodon.de it looks like the only photos currently tagged as Eugen Rochko on Wikimedia Commons are all from that one day at FOSDEM

@kerravonsen You can even visit #gopher holes through a web proxy these days, e.g. https://gopher.floodgap.com/gopher/gw

@abelbitez@mastodon.social My issue with this is that some of us don't just come to the fediverse to engage with logic and reason. We want to have conversations with *humans*. Besides the danger of chatbots potentially distorting your intent, they reliably strip away all traces of humanity from their written output. Some of us really don't like the feeling of talking to robots.

@abelbitez@mastodon.social If you're not concerned with matters such as style or cadence, well, that's not something I can argue with. I just want to observe that those of us who *do* care about the art and craft of writing have a negative reaction to the kinds of formulaic prose that bots produce.
