I am a traveler just like you, passing to this temporal plane. Come and let us discover the world as we take a trip in this journey called life.

The Lord heeds the sinner's prayer, even at the end. By turning to the heart of God, the men and women of every age can find hope for salvation, even if “in the eyes of the foolish they seemed to have died” (Wis 3:2).

Dear young people, please reflect on the wonder of God’s love for us just the way we are, not the way society or we say we should be, but as we are with all our faults and our limitations. Trust in God because He is our Father who loves us. #YouthDay

"Low-resourced Languages and Online Knowledge Repositories: A Need-Finding Study" contributors struggle to find resources for low-resourced Wikipedia languages, and language technology support, like translation and spellcheck.

@PicturesFoIder In the Philippines, we already have a 13th month called Lubi-lubi. That is why we have a 13th month pay.

Happy 2024. Mickey Mouse will enter public domain.

[CBS Saturday Morning @cbssaturday]

When the clock strikes midnight tomorrow copyright protections will expire on a number of well-known books, films and musical compositions – including the original Mickey Mouse. @jolingkent has more on what "Steamboat Willie" entering the public domain means.

Many people visit @Wikipedia on a daily basis, but it’s not always obvious what it takes to make that possible. Here are some clarifications on the Wikimedia Foundation: who we are, what we do, and why your donations matter. ⬇️

Wikipedia is not inherently hierarchical because anyone including you Elon have a say on what would be the contents of an article. Subject to concensus of course.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Wikipedia is inherently hierarchical and therefore subject to the biases of higher ranking editors, independent of their merits.

@CommunityNotes requires people with historically different points of view, based on how they have rated and written Notes, to agree in order for Notes to be shown to the public. All code and data is open source, so you can recreate the outcome yourself.

Crucially, even I, as the controlling shareholder of the company, cannot change the outcome of a Note.

This is an extremely fundamental difference.

[Jojit Ballesteros @Jojit_fb]

@guardiantech Well, he can always point the things he is offended in the talk page, and perhaps the community of editors will listen to him.
