  • Trump threatens tariffs on countries that disagree with Greenland takeover plans

  • If the US invades Denmark, all other NATO companies are OBLIGATED to provide military support. So that would basically kick USA out of NATO,

    The other countries can simply not oblige (and thus kill NATO). That's the more realistic option.

    and you can bet your bottom dollar that not only NATO but also Russia, China, North Korea, etc would all fall over themselves to ‘help respect and defend the sovereign territory of Denmark from illegal invasion’.

    Lol no they wouldn't. Neither would they care about who owns Greenland (except probably Russia), neither would they waste immense amounts of money and manpower to fight the biggest military and economy in the world for no real gain, and neither would 2/3 of the listed countries (Ru, NK) be able to do anything serious against US anyway (outside of suicidally throwing nukes at it).

  • In the phrase “a long-winded response”, “winded” can be pronounced as in “wind” or as in “wind”, and both make etymological sense.

    Jump

  • The second “wind” is as in “I wound up the toy car and, when I released it, it zoomed all the way to the other side of the room”. In this context, a “long-winded response” is one that metaphorically winded the coils that make the speaker go.

    The more primary meaning is this one (copied from Oxford Dictionary of English): move in or take a twisting or spiral course. The etymology of the verb 'wind' (also from ODE) is: Old English windan ‘go rapidly’, ‘twine’, of Germanic origin; related to wander and wend. Long-winded = the speaker's words/thoughts wander in circles for a long time.

  • Wikipedia celebrates 25 years of knowledge at its best – Wikimedia Foundation

    Jump

  • Don't spread this nonsense, please. All of Wikipedia's content is already free, stays free and is still in the same place as ever. What has been sold to AI companies, that have already been scraping and using the site for years for free, is API access to WP's material, suited to AI companies' needs and hopefully less of a burden on WP's normal infrastructure.

    https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/01/wikipedia-will-share-content-with-ai-firms-in-new-licensing-deals/

    The deals mean that most major AI developers have now signed on to the foundation’s Wikimedia Enterprise program, a commercial subsidiary that sells high-speed API access to Wikipedia’s 65 million articles at higher speeds and volumes than the free public APIs provide. Wikipedia’s content remains freely available under a Creative Commons license, but the Enterprise program charges for faster, higher-volume access to the data.

    White House Official: Why do we have the right to take Greenland? Because we live in a world governed by strength, by power. We have power. Nobody can fight the United States militarily

  • Hopefully the 80 freshly killed Venezuelans would be convinced by this reasoning.

  • People have different values

    I'm worried by people whose values say that when presented with the trolley problem the correct thing to do is to criticise the system in which people get tied to the tracks instead of just pulling the lever and then dealing with the system.

  • Anna's Archive Loses .Org Domain After Surprise Suspension

    Jump

  • Nah. AA themselves say they don't think it is due to Spotify. And it would be too quick, they say they were kicked based on a legal request, hardly something you expect to be carried out in, what, two weeks at most?

    Book publishers are unlikely to be any less ruthless than Spotify. Remember how they wanted to fuck over Internet Archive (and partly succeeded). This is more likely to be their doing.

  • and the massively increased amounts of transparency and dialogue with editors (the people who actually create Wikipedia’s content) under the outgoing CEO

    Tbh I haven't, but it's not like I've been following Wikipedia's internal history for too long.

    What's your impression of the new CEO, if you have one already?
