^Library

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!

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.

I’m sure you read it pretty regularly

I've found it less and less capable of keeping up with current events. Enshittification truly comes for us all.

It’s easy to focus on the negatives and miss what an absolute treasure it still is.

As a historical artifact and a demonstration of the potential for open-sourced editing, it's a milestone. But we're clearly in the twilight of the Wikipedia era.

However the vast majority of human knowledge isn’t current events.

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.

Even if Wikipedia were to never get updated again it is still extremely useful.

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.
