My understanding is that Wikipedia receives more donations than they need, surely they have the resources to fix it themselves?


You would first need to realzie it's a problem.


Maybe this is the reason for this worm. Someone is angry because they don't got it in another way...


The worm is a two year old script from the Russian Wiki that was grabbed randomly for a test by a stupid admin running unsandboxed with full privileges, so no.


Having grown up deep in the Bible belt, I can say that there's often a lot of overlap between the Jesus people and the various -ists

Bigotry has been a big part of the Moral Majority's platform for decades for a reason - it works on that demographic

I have an armchair theory about one possible contributing factor

These are two of the most fundamental beliefs of evangelicals and they don't make much sense when you put them side-by-side:

1. God is the ultimate progenitor and prototype of love

2. God wants to torture a LOT of people forever, some of whom you may know personally and may be all appearances be decent people

This creates a certain amount of cognitive dissonance

Rather than reconsider those beliefs (which may result in your own everlasting torment), it's far easier to resolve that discomfort by dehumanizing non-Christians. Maybe they're actually really rotten people that deserve to be tortured


You don't think someone from a country might know a bit more about it than the average person on HN?


I agree, but I don't know of a better place to discuss current events on the internet. I can at least expect that the people are educated and intelligent (relative to the average internet user) and there's a cultural of thoughtful discussion.

Every Reddit thread I see on politics these days is just... rabid seething. At this point they remind me of how my elderly far-right relatives posted on Facebook circa 2010. I broadly agree with them (orange man bad) but there's so much misinformation and sloppy thinking that it's useless. There are probably some smaller and more thoughtful political subreddits out there, but if so I haven't found them

EDIT: Now that I think about it some more, I disagree with your sentiment that we should leave the politicking to the politicians. Democracy requires a population that has some idea of what's going on. I think discussion and disagreement is a great way to sharpen one's thinking


The first sentence says that that's a national poll, not a Minnesota poll


I haven't been getting notifications from any messaging apps for a few months. I've checked all the relevant settings (do not disturb etc.). I also get random keyboard issues such as this one. This is my first iPhone. I have no idea why I paid premium prices for a premium phone if they can't even get notifications and typing right


That's a really strange issue you have here. Never heard of anything like this. Could it be possible that some aggressive filtering exists on your network that would disallow your iphone to connect to Apple's push servers ?


I get notifications from most applications, just not messaging apps (slack, telegram, whatsapp)


It's definitely a setting issue, the problem is Apple has multiple settings which all interfere with notifications. My mom gets this problem a lot and it takes entirely to long to track down which setting is overriding what.


> It's a job for teenagers to get experience

It all makes sense now! So that's why all fast food chains are closed from 9-3 on school days

I'm not sure that was the God of Abraham, so much as The Great Caucasian God[1]

Oh, my -- that is simply brilliant.

In this vein, Ring Fit Adventure is pretty cool if you have a Switch


Have you tried eating a snack after? Maybe you're hangry


This is actually good advice. Some people respond very, very poorly to being hungry and I've noticed some of them aren't aware of it.


Yep. I've found that feeling grumpy and irritated is a more reliable indicator that I need to eat than actually feeling hungry


Labor struggles are a central theme of Disco Elysium
