Anyone giving you a confident answer on this is going to be doing so baselessly. The real answer is “we don’t know”. Journalists for the world’s most well-connected news organizations have been working around the clock just to identify that the missile was even American. That’s the state of information right now, and the unfortunate fact is we’re just going to have to wait for an answer if one ever comes.

The most you can really know right now is “it didn’t need to happen, and it was the US’ fault regardless.”

Completely different. Obama just wore a regular, well-fitting, well-matched suit, and Republicans manufactured a scandal out of it.

Trump literally killed these six people for his own selfish, impulsive ends, shrugged it off in comments, and then, at their funeral, lacked the bare minimum courtesy to even take off his stupid, tacky baseball cap. The fact Fox News “”“accidentally”“” aired old footage that showed him without a hat illustrates that even they know it’s fucked up.

The “worse things are happening right now so let’s not cover anything that would only be a month-long scandal in any sane administration” position is the one Republicans want you to take. To quote Steve Bannon: “flood the zone with shit.”

Upfront: Here’s the Administrators’ Noticeboard discussion.

Okay, this one apparently slipped under my radar, albeit it seems like they’re pretty small and only started in 2022. Here’s their 2025 report.

It seems like their limited focus is on using LLMs for interwiki translation; to what extent its paid editors are capable of that, I have no idea. We maintain a list of paid editing companies here (usually undisclosed against policy).

OKA asserts:

For example, articles in topics such as Science, technology, engineering, and Finance are lacking compared to topics such as History, Geography, and Humanities.

I have no idea how they reached this conclusion or how they think they’re qualified to translate anything given the random “totally not a Central European language” capitalization of words like that.

Per 404:

A job posting for a “Wikipedia Translator” from OKA offers $397 a month for working up to 40 hours per week. The job listing says translators are expected to publish “5-20 articles per week (depending on size).”

20 for any reasonable-size article could not adequately be vetted by one person in an 84-hour work week, for context, and that’s $9.90/hour at 40 hours. (edit: wait, sorry, I read that as $397 per week; $397 per month would be < $2.50/hour. What the fuck.)

Overall, before reading the discussion, the people at OKA seem like disruptive morons.

Edit: Into the discussion we go:

Cmon man, the training guide instructs translators to create multiple email accounts to get around LLM usage caps… — ExtantRotations

…yes, and? — 7804j [OKA founder]

Jesus christ. 🤦

Edit 2: 7804j just cannot stop themself from transparently using an LLM to participate in the discussion.

Edit 3: “we ensure they are above the minimum wage in the countries where the editors reside” oh my fucking god

• “samodobrevijesti” is some random WordPress blog whose sections are: “NEWS, HEALTH, PETS, GARDEN, QUANTUM PHYSICS, AWAKENING CONSCIOUSNESS”
• The “samodobrevijesti” article is from November 2025.
• Despite this, its lone source, a EuroWeekly News article (an English newspaper published in Spain), was published 5 February 2022.

So it’s a four-month-old LLM regurgitation of a four-year-old story from a Spanish newspaper about a Swedish startup which never went through with the project.

A+ ⭐

I understand what you’re saying, and it’s at that point any media-literate person (you) thinks: “Hmm, I’ll just check the article and clear this up.” To even get to that point, you’d not just have to buy Trump would try to do that (I don’t, but I see how someone could); much more importantly, you’d have to assume the headline, for some godforsaken reason, isn’t taking into account how unusual it is and therefore being crystal clear that Trump is trying to insert himself in the role.

Reading the headline that way is already an enormous leap that basically only makes semantic sense, but refusing to follow up on that interpretation is where I draw the line between someone who didn’t understand at first and tried to and someone who actively chose not to understand. The latter I’ve run out of patience for over the last decade; the former show strong character through how they respond to a mistake.

a humorous comment

“Joke’s on you; I was only pretending to not be able to read English at a fifth-grade level.”

Danke. This should easily be fine for anyone who’s slightly-to-moderately interested; some of the nitty-gritty details like hyperlinks to the edit diffs are excluded from this copy–paste for those who really know their stuff and want to learn more.

Oh, fuck, this is going to be interesting to read about. Just to clarify: it seems like this wasn’t just Wikipedia but Wikimedia generally. So that’s also e.g. Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata, etc.

Edit: Decided to check Reddit, and someone posted an ostensibly good summary on /r/wikipedia.

You mean like BBC News: “Live updates: Trump replaces Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem”

It’s a basic English sentence that you just couldn’t and didn’t try to understand and then shamelessly blamed anyone but yourself for. Cry harder.

It isn’t; you just really fucking suck at reading and want to blame that on professional writers. Not just reading as a skill but reading as a casual interest, given you again intentionally didn’t even check the article.

If your takeaway from that headline, given what I will afford you are two technically semantically correct options, is that the POTUS, for literally the first time in history, is acting as a member of their own cabinet and not just that they’re replacing a member thereof, it’s not incumbent on the Associated Press to account for that. I’m consistently baffled at how much people will blame news headlines for their own functional illiteracy and then refuse to even peek into the article for five seconds to check.

To read the title that way at first is a brain fart; to still be confused after stopping and thinking for a second is stupidity. To not check the article afterward is willful ignorance.

It certainly is not, unless you also think “I’m going to make you a pie” is me literally threatening to turn you into a pastry.

Nor batteries externally removable like used to be.

This would be a major sacrifice to form factor and would be strictly detrimental to 99.999% of users. Regarding benefits outside repairability, basically nobody in 2026 is going to think to carry around a second, fully-charged laptop battery. Regarding repairability, you might have to replace the battery once during the laptop’s lifespan, and the procedure is extremely straightforward.

With an external battery, you end up with a laptop that’s not only substantially thicker, but which – because it’s stuck with a large battery either on the back or on the bottom – likely has worse airflow.

Notably for this repair, there are seven captive Phillips-head screws (seen plenty of hexalobular etc.), you can just use your fingers to remove the base cover (seen plenty where you need/want a pry tool), removing the base cover already removes the battery’s screw(s), and most importantly, you just pinch to disconnect instead of lifting a fragile connector off the board. Swapping the replacement external battery once you have it is probably about 30 seconds; this is about five minutes – practically no difference accounting for how infrequently it’ll need to be done. There’s an exception for people with a physical disability like Parkinson’s, but if you can phone a friend, the process is straightforward enough for basically anyone else to do it on your behalf.

Edit: On a whim, I decided to look to Framework for a comparison. It’s worse there for battery replacement.

• You have to first undo five captive hexalobular screws on the bottom.
• Then you have to lift the magnetic top panel, being sure not to damage the ribbon cable while you disconnect it.
• You have to pull out the connector for the battery using a small, black flap.
• Then you unscrew three more captive hexalobular screws.

As far as I can tell, the T14 is the easiest battery replacement you’re going to find being sold today. If you’re able-bodied enough to use a screwdriver and it not being external is somehow still a serious concern for repairability, I don’t know what to tell you.

However, 54 per cent of those who responded said it was important for B.C. to have aligning policies on daylight time with other jurisdictions.

There’s then a further section:

Business leaders, YVR airport concerned

I think you just saw that paragraph, came here to contradict the headline, and didn’t consider that’s not the only statistic the CBC was considering when calling it “mixed”.

After Iran sent so much materiel to Russia for their genocidal invasion of Ukraine, this is the one very tiny bright spot of this catastrophe.

You’ve got it reversed. Switching to Teams greatly hastened development, as the team’s newfound vitriol and frustration could be channeled toward the end user in a neverending feedback loop.

An understandable question, but this opinion article is by the editorial board; the source and the author in this case are functionally identical, so it’s entirely valid, in my opinion, to point out contradictions like this.

I don’t think you should be downvoted for what would otherwise be a reasonable, level-headed response.

Edit: by the way, @SarahValentine@lemmy.blahaj.zone, maybe a source besides a screenshot of a ChatGPT log is appropriate here.

Edit 2: In part because I think some of that is even hallucinated. E.g. point 3, the real headline is: “Trump’s Remarks on Migrants Illustrate His Obsession With Genes” Did you check any of this before you posted it here?

Trump campaigned as anti-war.

Trump also, to anyone with a functioning brain, campaigned as a rat fucking liar who’d go back on any and all promises when it was expedient for him, so they therefore voted for whatever Trump feels serves his own interests and by extension any such wars.

They will obliterate the Israel.

Utterly deluded, and I hate that genocidal wart on Earth’s face.
