They have 230 million and Wikipedia costs 2 million a year to maintain (quoting a Wikipedia editor in link below). So they have 100 years worth of server uptime. They are mostly "investing" in other Wikimedia products but fundraising primarily on Wikipedia. While Wikipedia doesn't need money, their other, way less popular, products do.

@apps The sentences in these screenshots aren't even making sense.

> The app will display publicly conversations

What does that even mean?

@fedilab @apps

#Fedilab is getting worse and worse in the last few months. The thread view is totally messed up. You press a comment in your home timeline and you get brought into a thread where it's impossible to find back the comment you actually clicked.

Also, the thread view often has the OP and many comments duplicated somehow.

And just now, the context menu button to share a post etc disappeared and I just can't find a way to share a post to an external app 🤷 what's happening?

@feditips
Where are the "activism" or "politics" categories in fedi.garden? :)

@JenMsft @Miro_Collas They missed the super long delay at 99%!

@clacke @markusl Yeah Dutch only has one too. Though we use egoist and egocentrist as different things. Or at least I do. I understand egoism a being more about actions one takes and egocentrist more about thoughts/views one holds.

@460c25e682fda7832b52d1f22d3d22b3176d972f60dcdc3212ed8c92ef85065c @alex What number is "opening an issue and only once per year commenting that you're still interested in it"?

@alex Yeah I'm banned from various places too. Or the instance I'm on is. Apparently talking about bitcoin can get your entire instance blocked by some people. I couldn't really care too much about those kind of people though. I mean it's unfortunate, they'll come around eventually.

@thunderbird Just saying but your wording implies you're trying to ship bugs in thunderbird..

@FranckLeroy @jr I agree this is what most of "crypto" is. But it is definitely not what #Bitcoin is. Not the idea, not how it began and I believe also not how it has become.

I think most Bitcoin users hold Bitcoin more as a savings instrument, a little akin to holding a stock index fund or gold. While many ofc dream of wild returns, most are happy enough to not get robbed of the 10-20% inflation every year, not fuel the economic system we have today and not have to interact with banks as much.

@jr @FranckLeroy It works quite well on the long term. Which is where most fist like euros fall short.

@alex Is Rebased a Pleroma fork?
