Good to see that @creativecommons quietly discontinued their X account in November, focusing instead on Mastodon and #Bluesky.

I hope we'll soon see more of the #Wikimedia movement do the same. A few chapters (notably Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland) have done so, but Wikimedia Foundation still maintains a very active presence on X, as do most chapters.

Civil society must discontinue its presence on a platform that's become weaponized to promote hate and authoritarianism world-wide.

If you think #InternetArchive items should be mirrored a bit more, feel free to download and seed a few #Wikimedia image dump torrents (34 TB) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Emijrp/Wikipedia_Archive#Image_tarballs or some of the IA-backed Academic Torrents https://academictorrents.com/browse.php?search=%22archive.org%22&sort_field=size&sort_dir=DESC (multiple TBs).

@Life_is

Is this a method to upload to #Wikimedia using a #VPN even without an account?

They show #IPblock: "Your user name or IP address has been blocked." on signup 😅

@BeAware @wikimediafoundation the more voices in the open knowledge world, the better. The Wikimedia movement has great projects read by millions each year, so I think they have an important role here and it is very aligned with their values. In a decentralized world, we don't need one single leadership.

I'm glad there are great organizations like W3C working on that. The more, the merrier.

Couldn't @wikimediafoundation take the lead when it comes to social media decentralization?

Fun fact: Wikidata has now existed for the majority of Wikipedia’s lifetime. https://query.wikidata.org/embed.html#%23%20How%20long%20Wikipedia%20has%20existed%20without%20and%20with%20Wikidata%2C%20and%20the%20date%20where%20both%20were%20equal.%0ASELECT%20%3FwikipediaStart%20%3FwikidataStart%20%3FwikipediaWithoutWikidata%20%3FwikipediaWithWikidata%20%3FdateWhereDaysWithoutEqualsDaysWith%20WHERE%20%7B%0A%20%20wd%3AQ52%20wdt%3AP571%20%3FwikipediaStart.%0A%20%20wd%3AQ2013%20wdt%3AP571%20%3FwikidataStart.%0A%20%20BIND%28%3FwikidataStart%20-%20%3FwikipediaStart%20AS%20%3FwikipediaWithoutWikidata%29%0A%20%20BIND%28FLOOR%28NOW%28%29%20-%20%3FwikidataStart%29%20AS%20%3FwikipediaWithWikidata%29%0A%20%20BIND%28%3FwikidataStart%20%2B%20STRDT%28CONCAT%28%22P%22%2C%20xsd%3Astring%28xsd%3Ainteger%28%3FwikipediaWithoutWikidata%29%29%2C%20%22D%22%29%2C%20xsd%3Aduration%29%20AS%20%3FdateWhereDaysWithoutEqualsDaysWith%29%0A%7D

New blog post: "Building a less terrible URL shortener" (for #Wikimedia projects)

https://blog.legoktm.com/2024/07/23/building-a-less-terrible-url-shortener.html

I started writing this blog post back in 2016 and never finished, so here it is, the basic principles behind the w.wiki URL shortener.

#XMPP #community sprint comes to an end

Developers of #Dino @dino, #Kaidan @kaidan, #Libervia @Goffi, #Monal @Monal, #Prose @prose, #Renga (#HaikuOS) and even #Debian and #ejabberd met in #Berlin to work on e.g. "#XEP-0394: #MessageMarkup", #OMEMO, and A/V calls.

Thanks to the #XSF @xmpp for sponsoring yesterday's dinner and very big thanks to #Wikimedia Deutschland e.V. @wikimediaDE for hosting us! 🙏

Useful as well as educational information can be found on @wikipedia, among others. However, depending on the situation, even in the EU and USA, for example, you cannot access them offline. In this regard, you can use the free @kiwix tool developed by @WikimediaCH.

Wikipedia mentions that it's Global Accessibility Awareness Day on the English version's main page, but to create an account on there and many of the Wikimedia Foundation's other projects you have to complete an inaccessible captcha. They offer an option for someone to create an account for you if you can't fill it in, but that's not good enough.
There's been a ticket open about this since 2006 according to the date stamp and nothing's been done.
