I imagine many reasonable people agree with Jimmy Wales here, but they didn’t speak up because, lately, the loudest critics of Wikipedia sound quite conspiratorial and unreasonable. A bit similar to what happened during the pandemic.

Great option in the US and other places where Apple can sell these at reasonable prices.
In Brazil, it’ll likely be much pricier than Windows PCs and Chromebooks… A bit like fast-fashion brands that are inexpensive in developed countries but not here.

It’s striking that nearly every post criticizing Hiten’s post here either:
1. Fails to point out what exactly is wrong with it, and/or
2. Interprets it incorrectly (strawman!).

Brazilian newspaper Folha de S.Paulo added the word "terrorist" multiple times to a Hamas article it translated from the Financial Times (which avoids using the term).
- “militant group” → “terrorist group”
- “Hamas” → “terrorist group Hamas”
- “attack” → “terrorist attacks”
- “militant group” → “terrorist group”
- “Hamas” → “terrorist group Hamas”

Really impressed by how much crap YouTube can recommend to a kid.
And YouTube Kids is even worse. Lots of useless entertainment crap.
I’ll have to delete the apps.

Apparently, I cannot add my child's Google account to my Gmail app on Android, but I can do so on iOS.
This means I can even use my iPhone as a 2FA device for my child’s Google account, but I can’t do the same with my Galaxy phone!
Way to go, Google...

I guess in the short term, the vast majority will go back to read but not to post. They will keep posting here instead.
After some time, it will depend on how things develop on both social networks.
