  • I think it's fine for you to put spoiler warnings on stuff if you want to. I also think it's fine for someone to make a joke about you putting spoiler warnings on a post about a 70 year old movie.

    (On a personal note, I don't think you could spoil 12 Angry Men by knowing the outcome. I feel like it's somewhat predictable, but it's the interactions that make it a great film anyway.)

    And, if someone has written a post/article about a movie or book or whatever, and I don't want spoilers, I think it's up to me to decide whether or not I should take the risk of reading the post. If I'm reading about something that is already out and there happens to be a spoiler in it, that's on me. Hell, I don't even like watching trailers if I don't want a movie spoiled. They are notorious for showing the ending and best scenes.

    As you said, there is no time after a release that is fair game for spoilers - but to me that's on the shoulders of the reader, not the writer, otherwise everything we write about will be a never-ending stream of spoiler warnings.

    The only exception, in my opinion, is people who deliberately try to fool people into reading/seeing spoilers, e.g. by putting the spoiler in a post title or as part of something unrelated. Fuck those guys.

  • There was room on the door.

  • Nice, we're not crazy 😜

  • What are you using to post links? This is at least the second post of yours I've seen that isn't a link, just a picture.

  • Or dadjokes.

  • Oops, I sharted again, I played with a fart, Got lost in the shame, no diaper baby!

  • Photos and videos often look a little dim and washed out on my phone, but this one is particularly affected. Did you convert from raw to jpg to post, without doing any adjustments? Darktable is free open source software that can help with this, though you might need to watch a tutorial. I only mention it because the photo has the potential to really pop.

  • A couch and a cell phone.

  • Opinions are like butholes. Everyone has one, and if you present yours to others, expect them to engage.

  • Has the accuracy of the snapshots actually changed based on this edit? After all, if it's factual information being presented...

    Yes! Quite literally, yes. They're supposed to be an archive of what is on other sites. It doesn't matter if the original site was, right, wrong, complete, incomplete, accurate, inaccurate, factual, unfactual, etc. If they change things, they're editorializing and are no longer an archive, they're new content - which is not the purpose people use them for.

    I do agree that it raises the issue of what other modifications there may be,

    That's literally the point. It doesn't matter how much you "understand the reasoning" (though you also think it's childish and don't agree with the actions). You can use it if you want to, no one is stopping you. The point is Wikipedia can't trust it as a source of archived data and has every right to ban it.

  • That's inappropriate, childish, and unprofessional. It makes them untrustworthy for citations. There are better ways of handling it.

    If altering snapshots for a grudge isn't your definition of "behaving poorly" for a site archiving the state of the Internet, then you must not think they have to be an accurate source of information. If they're not an accurate source of information, then Wikipedia has no obligation to allow them to be used in citations, and they should remove such citations.

  • It sounds like archive.today is behaving poorly. As far as I know, Wikipedia isn't exactly "big money". If you know different on either front, can you please explain. Otherwise your comments are meaningless.

  • Don't worry, they got a formal reprimand.

  • It isn't clear from the article how they knew which account was associated with the individual such that they could proactively contact the RCMP after the shooting.

  • "John Steele, the founder and publisher of award-winning science magazine Nautilus"

  • I honestly don't know lol. I just know I hated our game on it.

  • You can still install the drivers, you just don't get them through windows update. I hate when windows update touches my drivers without my permission, so this sounds like a win-win.
