If I search “Iron” on wikipedia I’m looking for facts

Not what I meant.

The point is: there is an established group of editors, with established rules and preconceptions, an established interpretation on what good sources are and what a neutral perspective is and isn’t, and there is no chance of changing those and that is why I have no interest in interacting with wikipedia in any constructive way.

I could talk about politics too, I picked video games because I know those articles are also bad.

Yes.

Yet behind the celebrations, a troubling pattern has developed: The volunteer community that built this encyclopedia has lately rejected a key innovation designed to serve readers.

But not that one, because rejecting AI 1) is not a generational rejection and 2) it is correct to reject it.

What I think is or will be the generational problem: the community that maintains it and decides what is being accepted or rejected is an “in group” that it is impossible to break into with conflicting ideas. For example, I do think the gaming, game mechanics and game development related pages can be vastly improved. But I don’t think the people responsible for those pages are interested in the changes I would suggest.

All the wikis for different games could just be on wikipedia. But they’re not, probably because they were rejected, because it’s “not relevant”. Well, some people decided they were relevant after all and they made their own wikis for those. The outcome is tribalism based fragmentation, because of differences in opinion of who values what and what should be preserved and what shouldn’t.

Thanks!

Please link to a source when you say things like that.

But they so generously extended their blackmail ultimatum date support!! Why won’t people switch? It’s so weird. Don’t they know that MS CEO Satya Nadela ($1.1 Bil) has their best interest at heart, always?

This is one of those intentionally misinterpreting posts that I really really… “dislike” in the linux community.

I guess you’ll need to install gnome-software or Bazaar

…which the official instructions don’t mention, so it’s not a valid answer. Again, I can get it to work, but that’s not the topic of this thread.

All the “software stores” I have seen: ubuntu’s software center, flatpack are utter trash. Offensively bad. I’m not sure how you can even get the flatpack store without the terminal.

so, e.g. flatpak tells you to install flatpak via commandline on ubuntu. Apparently it’s built into linux mint.

but when trying to install a random app,

the instructions are to “download file and execute”, but my filebrowser doesn’t have a “execute this file” option in my right click and double clicking does… nothing? Certainly doesn’t give me a popup with either confirmation or error message.

I’m game to try a few more things, so if you have suggestions what I should try, please tell me.

I’m on xubuntu.

Wtf is google offering that you’re paying for anyway? advertising?
