And offline and on air gapped machines if they wished. In person and not only that in code as well hidden under other things, traditionally book clubs were used but that's a well known, anything with wide interpretation like the arts or even the occult are good ones and it doubles as a way to agripop too potentially or it could be just merely aesthetics to the unaware eye, also allows you to play very it straight as required and blend in.

You go way back to fighting the godly power of kings and people got real creative about dealing with it, we're dealing with a whole pantheon now. There are so many ways one could not even think of them all, they may have a near perfect panopticon but processing the data is another matter anyhow. Read books about creativity and idea generation as well. There's good opsec guides around and on 6bear.

Should be interesting, I'm really looking forward to the emojis. Didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Just makes a good setup for total data loss where there's no documentation nor community to turn toward. As if whatever was made never existed. I'm concerned with all the forums that shuttered in the past years that moved 100% to discord and will soon probably have to reverse this trend.

Pretty much, we're going to have to be the change we wish to see

Usernet is still around but the only active ones I can think of involve book or game piracy.

Going to xth nothing paranormal, just the too ignorant and/or some perceptual error, but I do love a good story, don't we all.

Working on some old AF house with a 'yes' for what is wrong with it I managed to lock myself in a small windowless room with 0 tools to get out and phone somewhere else (paint brush and paint save me, probably was high off the fumes causing the story to start off with). I figure oh shit I'm in trouble, since it'd be a few days before someone came by to check on anything, after trying to get it open a few times I lay down for a little for a panic faint, and when I get up, the hell the damn locked fucked up door is wide open.

Pretty sure investigators have other means to get that information, depending how bad they want to make an example out of KF. KF for a while had its purpose of being digital blackshirts, but when they swatted that senator and the whole business in Ireland they just took it too far.

Kitty is real mad, this is c/bossfights material.

Usually no, like full attention on what I'm reading. At most maybe some ambient stuff.

Trick is to instead of put dishes in the sink, you bring dishes to the sink to wash. Eat then wash. No dish build up. Downside, you might catch yourself doing this at someone else's house you're a guest at and piss them off.

Back when I was in high school in the stone ages of the early 00s it was already running into trouble, and by the time I was in college for anything major-specific it was too broad or (as I said) oversimplifying concepts, so a bit of a risk, few lecturers by professors to the class on such things went students pointed it out. Anything research or even grad lvl it was totally and utterly useless. Still makes me roll eyes on some pages in the current year.

I don't want to self-dox by specifying area, we'll broadly say something in the life sciences that's both highly specialized yet very interdepartmental. Idk the case for other specialties or areas, I'd imagine they'd have similar issues, perhaps not as terrible as the 2010s but still not good. For most laypeople, the intended audience of encyclopedias, this is probably acceptable. For true in-depth knowledge, there are no shortcuts.

Thought of another good one, for non-technical surface-level knowledge Wikipedia isn't that great about foreign film information.

Few years ago quite a few CN films had bad propaganda-vandalism going on, notably Kalil Blues (thankfully been fixed, beautiful movie). Some wiki entries were as if whoever wrote them had never seen the film in the first place. Said films were so that regardless of language barrier anyone on 21st earth could shut off subtitles, maybe even picture in more dramatic cases, and tell what was written on the Wiki was not what the film was about. Did we watch the same movie?

You'd think the baseline for an encyclopedia would be at least that, but most people I know of for emergency purposes simply truncate the arts and media sections all together. It's gotten better over the last few years there was well (controlling edits I'd suspect) or at least having entries in the first place.

Another more mundane film example would be a lot of Cantinflas' films on the English wiki aren't quite correct (last time I checked was a year ago, was curious about one of the actors) on events within the movie or famous lines/dialogue. Could be a case of randos altering according to memory alone, which we can all admit has its shortfalls.

I thought this was old hat, even when I was in school we were also told not to use Wikipedia as a source since nearly anyone can edit it and their credentials could be suspect, therefore the information could be as well.

Some areas have gotten a lot more scrutiny and are better than they used to be but are still bad (ex history and politics as others mentioned).

Science stuff on there is still rather superficial and over-simplifies a whole lot (issue that was there say 10yrs ago), but its a lot more branched out than it used to be.

For internet doomsday scenarios wikipedia is a nice rough reference rather than a definitive guide, it was never meant for the latter as an encyclopedia. It'd be a poor call to teach off it alone vs dedicated websites or various textbooks and so on.
