Just got a new GPU, why is it so hard to use it?
Hey all, just got a Geforce 5070 to replace my 2070 from years ago. Ubuntu's been pretty smooth sailing for me until now, and I'm not exactly the best at navigating this stuff.
When Ubuntu starts to boot, the GPU stops outputting display to my monitor. As though it doesn't detect the new GPU. I tried putting the 2070 back in and downloading the 570 drivers but it didn't change anything. I found a tutorial for what seemed to be my issue that asked me to change the kernel, but halfway through the tutorial, commands that worked on their machine started failing on mine. I wish I'd documented what the error messages were because when I went to poke around more today, I got a message about kernel panic and can't even boot with the 2070. Where do I go from here?

Is self-hosted OpenVPN on a vps safe enough for p2p?
like this
Your VPS provider will likely just forward copyright infringement letters to you, same as your ISP would, or they'll suspend your account.
It will hide your ISP IP from torrent peers, but the VPS provider still knows exactly who you are.
but how hard is it for the vps traffic to be traced back to me?
Very easy by the VPS provider, as the VPS has a static IP assigned to you.

Not that reddit isn't hot garbage right now, and has been for a while actually, but there's a lot of people here who have glazed over the reason why reddit instituted this policy.
AI companies are scraping the Wayback Machine. This is something that should concern all of us.
And what do I care about Reddit getting paid?
If the IA doesn't complain about being used, then it's fine for me. The ideal outcome would be, if the archive can make some arrangement where they scrape the data and provide it to everyone. That way, sites only get scraped once and not constantly hammered.

Vuoto a perdere 06: o mio o di nessun altro!
MONDO REALE: Freddie Mercury non ha mai avuto dei figli ma Mary Austin, la donna che lui ha amato, sì.
Il frontman dei Queen però era appassionato di gatti e per questo ha scritto una canzone per la sua preferita. Delilah.
FANTASIA: Mark Wilson scopre un segreto molto personale su Freddie intercettando alcune lettere a lui indirizzate, e la decisione è presa: Freddie, di quella corrispondenza, non saprà mai; è un’arma troppo potente nelle mani di Mark!
Racconto aggiornato dopo la pubblicazione iniziale (2021)
Vuoto a perdere: o mio, o di nessun altro!
Per giorni il mio defunto compagno Andrew continuò a ripetermelo nel sogno: “Dissangua il mio gifter, porta la sua anima da me!”
Dalla sera in cui Freddie si era tagliato un dito durante una cena, l’idea di ottenere il suo sangue diventò un’ossessione e più passava il tempo, più la determinazione si tramutò in rabbia.
“Se Freddie non sarà mio, nessun altro lo avrà!” dicevo tra me, ogni volta che mi alzavo dal letto e mi guardavo nello specchio.
Non riuscii mai però ad avvicinarlo davvero: lo vedevo girare insieme al suo staff, sorridere, parlare con l’assistente Melania ma era impossibile avere un’occasione per stare da solo con lui.
Non restò altro che studiare un piano per tendergli una trappola che l’avrebbe potuto dissanguare ma sfortunatamente, documentandomi grazie ai pochi mezzi di informazione disponibili, capii quanto il virus HIV fosse debole: la trasmissione non avviene senza contatto diretto col sangue del malato!
Il piano del dissanguatore
La sola speranza per me era stare lì mentre accadeva, e raccogliere il prezioso fluido in velocità: Ogni qual volta pulivo la sua stanza, cercavo di escogitare un sistema per sabotare un lampadario, una finestra, qualsiasi altro oggetto di vetro che potesse infrangersi su di lui mentre dormiva e io sarei corso ad aiutarlo, guarda caso mi sarei tagliato e poi…
No, alla fine decisi che non valeva la pena; troppo rischioso per la mia reputazione, mi avrebbero accusato di omicidio facendomi finire come Mark David Chapman, l’uomo che nel 1980 sparò a John Lennon. Povero idiota, quando John venne portato via rimase lì a leggersi Il Giovane Holden aspettando gli eventi, ma non ebbe alcun legame col proprio mito.
Io invece, facendo le cose per bene, potevo essere unito a Freddie per sempre e, soprattutto, diffondere il virus consentendo al mio idolo di vivere per l’eternità. E pazienza se per il mondo sarei stato l’ennesimo criminale! Mi sentivo coperto, nella mia falsa identità di William Karson.
Buone notizie?
Assorto nei miei pensieri non mi accorsi immediatamente di qualcuno che bussava alla porta della mia stanza; “Karson, c’è bisogno di te!” Mi disse Jim, il compagno di Freddie, quando aprii.
Stringeva in mano una busta. “Questa l’hanno mandata un paio di giorni fa destinata a Freddie, e appena ho letto da dove arriva mi sei venuto in mente subito.”
Allora era vero, hanno letto il mio curriculum prima di assumermi! Presi la lettera fra le dita e mi lasciai andare a un sospiro di malinconia, quando lessi la provenienza del mittente: Bugliano, culla e tomba per i miei sogni di scienziato.
Ricordai immediatamente il mio passato da studente di medicina, quando la speranza di sconfiggere l’AIDS con le mie sole forze, mi aveva indotto persino a fare pace con chi mi aveva sempre bullizzato. Raymond Still, che quando mi bocciarono, diede un colpo di spugna alla nostra inaspettata amicizia e mi umiliò il doppio.
Promozioni e fallimenti
“Mark Wilson, Lei può solo pulire i gabinetti”, mi disse impietoso l’insegnante quando provai a contestare il risultato finale; e Ray Still non mosse un dito per difendermi, anzi mi voltò le spalle per godersi la sua promozione con tutti gli onori!
Soltanto pochi mesi dopo aver accettato il lavoro a casa di Freddie Mercury, scoprii che mentre io facevo le pulizie Raymond Still aveva fatto carriera e avviato un’importante ricerca su HIV, con tanto di annuncio: “Sto cercando una celebrità risultata positiva al virus per sperimentare il mio nuovo studio. L’HIV, opportunamente modificato, può trasmettere emozioni e talento da una persona all’altra!”
Quale occasione migliore per fargli sapere di Freddie?
Stringendo ancora fra le mani la busta consegnatami da Jim, ripensai alla mia lettera appena spedita a Raymond in risposta al suo annuncio; gli avevo raccontato per filo e per segno la positività di Freddie ma anche dopo giorni dall’invio della missiva, non ricevetti alcun riscontro.
E se la busta in mano mia contenesse proprio la risposta di Ray, che da Bugliano voleva parlare direttamente con Freddie?
Non mi feci alcuno scrupolo e me la misi in tasca: “Mai paura, Jim! La porto io al capo, il messaggio è in buone mani.”
Inizio di un inganno
Alla svelta, chiusi la porta della mia stanza e tirata fuori la lettera, iniziai a leggere quel foglio scritto a penna:
Sono incinta, amore della mia vita. Aspettiamo una bambina, il nostro miracolo ma anche la mia più grande paura.Il mondo è un posto crudele e sento di non essere capace di proteggerla abbastanza perché sono in Russia, sposata con un violento.
“Che cosa? Freddie ha una figlia in Russia, o a Bugliano? Dove? Poco importa”, pensai. Se è vero non lo saprà mai! Richiusi la busta come nulla fosse e la nascosi nella mia borsa. Sarei stato l’unico a conoscere il segreto, avrei girato il mondo per trovare quella presunta bambina, dopodiché Freddie sarebbe stato mio, e solo mio!

Program alternative SCRU
Before I fully make the switch to Linux I'm looking for options to replace an old Windows program called SCRU. You set a folder to watch, and an output folder and it automatically copies specified extensions or extracts rar into the output folder.
I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to do this in terminal and haven't dug into scripts yet, just want to know of it's possible.
like this
The Linux way:
- write a script: you can use the find command to find for example rars in a folder. find ~/thatfolder -iname '*.rar' -exec uncompresscommand. Read 'man find' for specifics. Script's first line is #!/bin/bash. Say 'chmod u+x script' to make it executable.
- set up a systemd timer unit that calls a service unit that runs your script at intervals.
- you can use something like for file in ~/thatfolder/* ; do sed trick that extracts the file extension and puts it in a variable ; case $variable in ; bunch of cases for different extensions. Variable $file will hold the source file name. Read up on bash scripting to figure it out.

A Plea From Gaza: You’re My Only Hope
cross-posted from: hexbear.net/post/5783600
My name is Soliman — a young man and student from Gaza, carrying a burden far heavier than my age. Between my studies and the hardships of life, I try to be the backbone of my family in the most difficult of times.We once had a small farm — olive and citrus trees, and a greenhouse where we planted not just crops, but dreams.
That farm was our only source of income, and more than that, it was a place full of memories, of hope, and of the laughter that once made life a little easier.But in a single moment, everything was gone.
A fire reduced our years of effort to ashes.
We lost our source of living, our stability — and with it, a part of our souls.Now, despite the pain, I’m trying to start over. I’m doing everything I can to keep my family standing, to find even the smallest light of hope that might restore our strength, dignity, and sense of humanity.
I share these words with honesty and hope, hoping they reach a kind heart — someone who can help, or even simply share my story with others who might be able to.
If you’re able to support us in any way, here is the link to our GoFundMe campaign:
👉 gofund.me/da782c66
Every share, every kind word, every small donation could be a lifeline for us.From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking a moment to read my story.

Come rinunciare a calendario e contatti Google ed avere tutti i dati sul proprio server Linux usando come client delle APP open source
Questo articolo non vuol essere la guida unica possibile allo scopo, così è come ho fatto io, sicuramente vi sono altri modi, ma questa è una soluzione testata e funzionante. Se vi fossero omissioni o errori, non esitate a rispondere a questo post o contattarmi.
Installare sul proprio server Linux il programma server chiamato NextCloud con YunoHost è semplicissimo. Nelle impostazioni di installazione, lasciare aperta l'applicazione ai "visitatori" (ovvero agli utenti non autenticati che potranno autenticarsi) dall'apposito menu a tendina.
Da nextCloud -> Applicazioni -> ufficio e testo -> cercare "Calendar", installarla e abilitarla se già non è stato fatto. Ora in alto nella barra aparirà un'icona Calendario.
Da nextCloud -> Applicazioni -> ufficio e testo -> cercare "Contacts", installarla e abilitarla se già non è stato fatto. Ora in alto nella barra apparirà un'icona Contatti.
Da smartphone android installare l'APP DAVX5 ( davx5.com/ ) che si trova disponibile gratuitamente sullo store F-Droid ( f-droid.org/it/ ), mentre sul PlayStore costa € 5 circa. Piccola nota: le applicazioni android scaricate da F-Droid sono open source e ricevono aggiornamenti.
Installare l'APP DAVX5 dando i permessi richiesti. Cliccare sul tasto + presente nella pagina principale dell'APP ed inserire l'url di NextCloud e negli appositi campi anche l'user e la password con cui accedete (di default l'unico utente presente è l'amministratore di YunoHost).
Per avere un calendario open source e visualizzare gli eventi di NextCloud senza usare Google calendar: installare dallo store F-Droid l'APP gratuita "Etar" ( f-droid.org/it/packages/ws.xso… ) che di default mostrerà tutti i calendari che ha trovato tra cui quello configurato da noi. Da impostazioni sarà possibile disattivare il calendario Google e verificare che l'account NextCloud sia attivo. Etar dispone anche di un bel widget.
Per visualizzare i contatti si può utilizzare l'APP contatti di google. Qualora si desideri un'alternativa open source, Fossify mette a disposizione l'APP telefono, messaggi, contatti e molte altre ( search.f-droid.org/?q=fossify&… ) che potremo sincronizzare col nostro server grazie a DAVX5 senza che nessuno metta il naso nei nostri contatti, telefonate ed SMS.
Come configurare i contatti NextCloud su thunderbird da PC: dall'APP DAVX5 su android cliccare sull'account creato nella pagina principale, spostarsi in cardDAV e cliccare sulla rubrica NextCloud. Copiare "indirizzo URL", spostarsi in thunderbird sul proprio PC, cliccare su rubrica e poi su nuova rubrica che è l'icona in alto a sinistra e scegliere "Aggiungi rubrica cardDAV", scrivere il nome utente ed incollare l'url copiato da android, successivamente verrà chiesta la password.
Come configurare il calendario NextCloud su thunderbird da PC:dall'APP DAVX5 su android cliccare sull'account creato nella pagina principale, spostarsi in calDAV e cliccare sul calendario. Copiare "indirizzo URL", spostarsi in thunderbird sul proprio PC, nella barra di destra cliccare l'icona "Calendario" e poi in basso o sui tre puntini, cliccare su "Nuovo Calendario". Selezionare l'opzione "sulla rete", immettere lo stesso username della rubrica ed incollare l'url copiato da android su DAVX5, successivamente immettere la password e confermare.
Una nota: da NextCloud web, che è visualizzabile da qualunque browser, si possono leggere e modificare sia i contatti che gli eventi del calendario.

There is no such thing as perfect security. There's always the possibility that something malicious is there. The real point it to take every caution that is reasonable and mitigate any possible damages.
If you're truly paranoid, you could choose to only ever run it in a VM that doesn't have any personal information and make backups of anything you don't want to loose.

Heydey ho folks, anybody I know a decent search engine with a lite interface?
I've been a DDG Stan for years but after doing some research on freeBSD kernel modification I've realized just how bad the AI SLOP articles have become, and they're doing nothing to filter them out. Lately it seems every result is either a nuked reddit thread, or an LLM produced static page that almost is convincing enough to be a real person (if it weren't confidently producing advice for Linux on a page claiming to be for freeBSD).
I do most of my browsing in Links and Offpunk, so HTML only is highly preferred, no JavaScript, as it is non-functional in my browsers of choice.
The engines don't necessarily need to be clearweb, I'm down to clown with Gemini, Gopher, i2p... I'd prefer against TOR but if its the only place to find a decent web browser I'll use it.

India: Opposition Leader detained by police in protests against suspected voting fraud
Thirty members of the Indian parliament, including Opposition Leader Rahul Gandhi, were detained by police following a protest against suspected voter fraud in recent state elections. Rahul Gandhi's Indian National Congress party had found fake and duplicate voters in the electoral rolls, and accused the election commission of colluding with the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. The Election Commission rejected his claims, following which digital rolls were briefly unavailable from the EC website.
The protest also focused on a 'special revision' of voter rolls in the state of Bihar, where elections are scheduled later this year. The requirements for inclusion were criticised as being unreasonably complicated, and likely to disproportionately affect the poor, illiterate, and migrant labourers.
Hm I wish there was some more info or research into the credibility of the opposition leaders' claim. This article reads a little bit like he said she said without telling us any of the facts.
Thanks for posting, News from this part of the world is so important we don't read enough of it
The opposition leader showed examples of duplicate votes, as well as obviously fake votes (one had parent's name as 'asdfg' or something like that). The question is how common these are, and whether they are being used to swing elections a certain way.
Honestly, if the Election Commission had been more transparent and admitted the mistake instead of trying to hide the rolls, this might have been a non-event.

This is misleading. It will keep your information private from the website you’re accessing (supposedly), but the EU authorities will know full well which websites you’re visiting and surveilling.

What Does Palantir Actually Do?
Palantir is often called a data broker, a data miner, or a giant database of personal information. In reality, it’s none of these—but even former employees struggle to explain it.Palantir sends its employees to work inside client organizations essentially as consultants, helping to customize their data pipelines, troubleshoot problems, and fix bugs. It calls these workers “forward deployed software engineers,” a term that appears to be inspired by the concept of forward-deployed troops, who are stationed in adversarial regions to deter nearby enemies from attacking.
Crucially, Palantir doesn’t reorganize a company's bins and pipes, so to speak, meaning it doesn’t change how data is collected or how it moves through the guts of an organization. Instead, its software sits on top of a customer’s messy systems and allows them to integrate and analyze data without needing to fix the underlying architecture. In some ways, it’s a technical band-aid. In theory, this makes Palantir particularly well suited for government agencies that may use state-of-the-art software cobbled together with programming languages dating back to the 1960s.
Palantir’s software is designed with nontechnical users in mind. Rather than relying on specialized technical teams to parse and analyze data, Palantir allows people across an organization to get insights, sometimes without writing a single line of code. All they need to do is log into one of Palantir’s two primary platforms: Foundry, for commercial users, or Gotham, for law enforcement and government users.
Foundry focuses on helping businesses use data to do things like manage inventory, monitor factory lines, and track orders. Gotham, meanwhile, is an investigative tool specifically for police and government clients, designed to connect people, places, and events of interest to law enforcement. There’s also Apollo, which is like a control panel for shipping automatic software updates to Foundry or Gotham, and the Artificial Intelligence Platform, a suite of AI-powered tools that can be integrated into Gotham or Foundry.
Foundry and Gotham are similar: Both ingest data and give people a neat platform to work with it. The main difference between them is what data they’re ingesting. Gotham takes any data that government or law enforcement customers may have, including things like crime reports, booking logs, or information they collected by subpoenaing a social media company. Gotham then extracts every person, place, and detail that might be relevant. Customers need to already have the data they want to work with—Palantir itself does not provide any.

Since leaving Palantir, Pinto says he’s spent a lot of time reflecting on the company’s ability to parse and connect vast amounts of data. He’s now deeply worried that an authoritarian state could use this power to “tell any narrative they want” about, say, immigrants or dissidents it may be seeking to arrest or deport. He says that software like Palantir’s doesn’t eliminate human bias.
People are the ones that choose how to work with data, what questions to ask about it, and what conclusions to draw. Their choices could have positive outcomes, like ensuring enough Covid-19 vaccines are delivered to vulnerable areas. They could also have devastating ones, like launching a deadly airstrike, or deporting someone.
In some ways, Palantir can be seen as an amplifier of people’s intentions and biases. It helps them make evermore precise and intentional decisions, for better or for worse. But this may not always be obvious to Palantir’s users. They may only experience a sophisticated platform, sold to them using the vocabulary of warfare and hegemony. It may feel as if objective conclusions are flowing naturally from the data.

recensione alberghiaca con sorprese megapazzurde e stasi ottimalizzata!
A grandissimissima richiesta (…di ben 1 persona), quasi urgeva una recensione dell’albergo dove sono stata per poco più di metà della settimana scorsa… utile a non si sa chi o cosa, data la solita mia necessaria precauzionale omissione di dettagli altrimenti fondamentali, ma il piacere della storiella (o, come dice il caro Piero Angela, il piacere della scop..ta) è sempre altamente importante e necessario a non sprofondare ogni giorno sempre di più in quello stato dell’essere che ci (mi) vede... vabbè, scusate, basta cazzate. 🙁Vediamo prima le cose strane, così togliamo il dente bizzarro e via il dolore causato dalla morbosa curiosità. A parte il non proprio spassoso incidente dell’ultima sera, che fa testo a sé, di cose curiose ce n’erano un bel po’ in questo hotel; queste altre, per fortuna, non avvilenti. La cosa che forse più colpiva, complessivamente e continuamente, è che… proprio all’ingresso, affianco alla reception, aveva un bar… che operava da normale bar, essendo in centro. In 4 giorni non ho visto nessuno andarci, però oh: per chi ha interesse, ci sta il bar. Anzi, ci sono due bar: c’era una sala interrata, che fungeva da sala colazione (e solo colazione, il resto del tempo era chiusa), e aveva un altro bancone/postazione bar. Addirittura, le pareti di questa erano affrescate con un tema apposta per l’hotel… ma non ho fotine mie ora, quindi ops. 👻
Passando alla camera… Altre cose strane sono che il rubinetto del lavandino si chiamava Cristina(e si, le marche delle robe idrauliche sono sempre stranamente assurde, maCristina non l’avevo mai vista)… mentre, la marca dell’area lavandino proprio, è un altro nome mai sentito, TECHNOVA, ma la cosa che mi ha lasciata confusa è che il font sembra uscito tipo da un anime… queste lettere un po’ rotonde con la O che è una stellina, insomma… E poi ancora, nell’armadio appendiabiti (non in bagno ovviamente), c’era il quadro elettrico della stanza, con un cartello che diceva tipo di non aprire se non autorizzati… ma la porticina di plastica era di suo mezza aperta, quindi il cartello nel contesto sembra una presa in giro. Boh, roba proprio strana si trova, mi sa, andando in giro con l’occhio clinico ben aperto. 👁️
Temo di non essere proprio bbona a fare le recensioni dei posti, però, perché i tratti positivi di forte impatto che riesco a dire solo solo 2… però oh, son roba tosta. Come già detto, con la stanza solo per me le faville sono state sensibili: anzitutto perché il letto era a due posti, ma c’ero appunto soltanto io, quindi ho dormito alla grande, senza sentire i rumori molesti dei miei genitori — altrimenti succede puntualmente che loro fanno il roleplay della Russia (russano e invadono il mio sonno) e io quindi dell’Ucraina (sigh) — e perdendomi ampiamente in questo letto, gigante per i miei standard (0.5 posti più grande del mio solito, wow), stabilendo insomma per bene anche in trasferta il mio stato da principessa femcel marcia… ma poi, perché avevo il bagno solo per me… 😈E il bagno, anche se era più piccolo di quello dei miei genitori — che, al contrario, avevano la parte principale della stanza più piccola di me, ops — era stellare… da gaming, oserei dire. E il gaming è infatti avvenuto alla grande, la sera che avevo un po’ di tempo (si, proprio quella dell’incidente) e ho quindi deciso di provare la doccia che c’era. Il design era molto strano a prima vista, e certamente mi aspettavo qualcosa di insolito nel suo uso… ma non immaginavo che avesse letteralmente i LED blu (primo colore del gaming!!!) e dei display numerici per indicare la temperatura corrente dell’acqua e il tempo trascorso con essa accesa!!! In confronto alla roba normalissima che posso permettermi io a casa, questa doccia è stata super premium… tanto che, trasportata dal gaming, ho deciso di farmi anche lo shampoo, nonostante inizialmente volessi solo sciacquarmi. (Poi vabbè, lo shampoo ha causato altri problemi, ma quella è una condanna mia personale.) 😻
Ecco, del bagno in realtà non mi è assolutamente piaciuto che il sapone per le mani fosse in un dispenser automatico (non solo da me, anche dai miei era così)… A parte che si mimetizzava col muro, quindi inizialmente non lo notavo e mi chiedevo dove straminchia fosse il sapone per le mani, non essendoci saponette in giro, ma solo il flaconcino per la doccia… è semplicemente terribile il fatto che si attivi con un sensore di prossimità: se si appoggia qualcosa lì sotto per sbaglio, ecco che questa verrà sburrata immediatamente dal macchinario, senza se e senza ma… e anche banalmente per prendere il sapone, è scomodo, non si capisce mai come bisogna mettere e togliere la mano, e quindi ogni tanto va a cadere, sporcando la superficie attorno al lavandino. 😭Però… in un certo senso, questo contrasto tra elementi di lusso e oggetti che vanno bene solo in un bagno pubblico ha una sua personalità… E quindi, comunque, tutto sommato, nice albergo da 3 stelle in provincia di Roma; non costato troppissimissimo, considerato che il totale con le due stanze è stato 800€ per 4 notti. Ci sarebbero ora foto da salvare riguardo il viaggio, ma, tra questo blog, il sito delle foto, Pixelfed, la BBS, ora anche Sharkey, oltre pure al semplice Pignio, non so manco dove mettere cosa, e allora zzz, circolare, non c’è null’altro da vedere qui… 🥴

I feel like a large reason for the distrust is because Governments have given every incentive to the population to distrust Big Pharma.

in reply to schizoidman • • •Here's one way to fix this that might even overturn the law. Turn off Wikipedia in the UK. Put a big banner up on the homepage that says, we have turned off Wikipedia in your country because of your government. Here's how to use a VPN to access our content.
Edit: Make it apologetic and conciliatory. Like, we're sorry, we've had to disable Wikipedia in your region because of your government's draconian policies. If you would like to visit our content, please use a VPN. If you need help learning to use a VPN and then link to a here's how page

If you could bypass the exemption by just saying "here's a new account; pls exempt", it would quickly become common knowledge among sockmasters that all they need is to quickly ask and be accepted days later.
At that point, the block on proxy editing near-completely fails at one of its main functions.

in reply to TheTechnician27 • • •lunatic_lobster
in reply to TheTechnician27 • • •I'd disagree with the notion "it has to". The chilling effect on a large number of new wiki contributors could be considered more detrimental than weakening sock puppet protection. (IE if a huge country suddenly started jailing people who make edits not considered state-approved)
I suspect there are plenty of ways to allow new accounts to make edits on a smaller subset of articles until they have passed some threshold of trust which could minimize the sock puppet abuse.
Point is everything is a give and take.

in reply to Zexks • • •Did you even read the conversation you're replying to???
Only the Surrey County Council indicates anything about restricting access to the library on the basis of age, and that is on the basis of not allowing unaccompanied children under 11 into the library
No other link mentions anything about restricting access to nonfiction materials because of age...

in reply to Zexks • • •are you dumb?
none of the links you posted talk about restrictions on certain materials within libraries, e.g. all of them allow you access any information at any time.
ALL of the links you posted talk about restrictions on the membership registration process, not what you can and can't borrow from the library.
this isn't about censorship, it's just about establishing who you call when a kid misbehaves on library grounds or damages something the library owns.
that's why a guardian is required to co-sign memberships: kids break shit. like, all the time!
Zexks
in reply to 9bananas • • •Yes every single one of them does. do you not know how access fucking works. You cant even be in there until certain ages. Youre not allowed to access material until a registered known adult approves. Theyre not allowed on computers without approval or oversight. Tjeyre not allowed into certain areas of the libraries without approval and access.
If this is the reading comorehension level over there they really need to reconsider some these.

There are so many gaps in both the modern and historical backlog of citations and categorizations. But do I want to invest dozens of hours contributing to a site where a few admins are just going to tear all my work back out again on a bureaucratic technicality?
It is a site that's alternatively being strangled to death by admins fearful of malicious actors and tore apart by wave after wave of sinister propagandists and hostile agents.

in reply to ayyy • • •Broadly speaking, everything was a current event at some point. As Wikipedia calcifies, it loses the ability to capture and collate new information as it is produced.
In the same way as any dated encyclopedia, sure. I've got a copy of my dad's childhood encyclopedia, dated to 1954. Lots of interesting factoids in there, assuming your interest in the world is satisfied by an English speaking editor's ability to consolidate the information available to his firm at their publishing deadline.
