A campaign against NPR's new CEO, ex-Wikimedia Foundation Katherine Maher, is trying to portray her as "anti-truth" and "anti-First Amendment" by taking quotes out of context from her past talks about Wikimedia. As a longtime Wikipedian, I think I can give a little more context about these statements — but I recognize that the people behind this campaign are, ironically, not looking for the facts.
In this video, I also go into the idea of "verifiability, not truth" — a Wikipedia philosophy that is controversial both on- and off-wiki.
was briefly baffled by this CAPTCHA until i realized it was asking me to identify the animal that was bigger in real life than the other animals in the picture, not the animal that, in real life, is bigger than roughly 1cm
we are rapidly approaching the point at which CAPTCHAs clever enough to keep the bots out are too confusing for the humans
really upsetting to see former Wikimedia Foundation director and CEO Katherine Maher getting targeted by the rightwing outrage machine in her new role as NPR CEO. she's wonderful, and NPR is lucky to have her. i hope they stand behind her.
i am so over the web design trend where every piece of text on the page has to animate in
web devs spent years agonizing over time to FCP only to now make people wait for their unnecessary animation to finish before visitors can actually read anything
most of these sites also completely ignore prefers-reduced-motion
Sam Bankman-Fried has filed his notice of appeal. This comes shortly after a request that he remain at MDC Brooklyn until his appeal has been fully briefed, to allow him better access to his counsel than he would have if moved to a federal penitentiary closer to his family in California.
![Re: United States v. Samuel Bankman-Fried, 1:22 CR 673 (LAK) Dear Judge Kaplan: VIA ECF Honorable Lewis A. Kaplan United States District Judge Daniel Patrick Moynihan United States Courthouse 500 Pearl Street New York, NY 10007 Defendant Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced on March 28, 2024, primarily to 25 years imprisonment, to be served, if possible, near his family’s home in California. (ECF 424). Mr. Bankman-Fried respectfully requests, pursuant to Rule 38(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, that the Court supplement its recommendation to the Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) by issuing the attached proposed order recommending that the BOP allow him to remain at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn to facilitate access to his appellate counsel pending the filing of the briefs in his anticipated appeal. Rule 38(b)(2) provides that “[i]f the defendant is not released pending appeal, the court may recommend to the Attorney General that the defendant be confined near the place of the trial or appeal for a period reasonably necessary to permit the defendant to assist in preparing the appeal.” Fed. R. Cr. Proc. 38(b)(2). See e.g., United States v. Carl, No. 07-CR-29-P-S, 2008 WL 4615556 (D. Me. Oct. 16, 2008) (issuing similar order). The government informs us that they take no position on this request. Respectfully submitted, /s/ Marc L. Mukasey](https://storage.mollywhite.net/micro/a356583fb9577a2a25b7_letter.png)
