I think part of their argument was they didn’t watch any of it so their piracy was legal

It does seem like a shrug, but he’s basically giving a nothing response to a situation that really requires something much stronger

To think there’s even the remotest possibility of this happening is delusional, making this an awful response to that question.

I don’t think beginners are going to be in that situation and most people probably won’t ever be in your situation, mostly people doing it as a hobby are going to end up with 100+ TB of data.

EDIT: when I say “most people wouldn’t be in that situation” I was thinking of the typical person who is on the fence about this and would be swayed by the “it will save you money” argument. Its quite likely that most people currently self hosting (I’d imagine mostly hobbyists) could be in a similar situation to you if they aren’t already

I agree, but if I had to choose between someone reusing passwords and someone who kept them under the keyboard I’d probably choose the latter

The worst part of the left one is the implication they have only two passwords. The “under the keyboard” part at least requires physical access and (hopefully) means its not something stupid or short like “p@ssw0rd”.

Their LLM usage policy is here ( https://github.com/fluxerapp/fluxer/blob/main/.github/LLM_USAGE_POLICY.md ) . They do not allow LLM authored code. The main dev does sometimes use it for rubber duck debugging according to an old post that I don’t have the link for. One of the other devs says they don’t use it at all.

I’m a radiation worker, I’m required to wear a dosimeter whenever I go into parts of the building near the nuclear reactor. This dosimeter is measured 4 times a year for radiation exposure. A few years ago there was a big problem because someone’s dosimeter showed a very large dose. It was found they’d accidentally brought it home and onto a flight. So two flights (a around trip) was enough to cause a bunch of alarms at a facility that actually monitors radiation exposure.

Even if they wanted to, a lot of PhDs take longer than 4 years. My program averages 5.5 (with 4 being very rare and considered “early”) and someone I know in physics say 6 or 7 is common. Those programs are going to have a large drop in admission. I’m on my way out and will finish at 4.3 years, I’m the first one in my class to graduate

I Am Not A Lawyer

While I agree that we need more of the rules codified in law, the law hasn’t exactly stopped them from doing a lot of stuff either.

Thanks for finding that, I’m at the airport so was being a bit lazy, though unless I’m looking at the wrong place it says 34 UN countries have recognized it as of 2025.

After briefly browsing the neutrality policy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view), it doesn’t look like stating it is a genocide is a problem except in the case there is no source or there assertion it is a genocide is “seriously contested”. So they can say “the ___ genocide [1]” and aren’t necessarily required to say “____ said ____”. What qualifies as a good source or a seriously contested claim would fall under one or more of the other policy pages I think.

I should also add that while the Gaza genocide page discusses the people who claim it isn’t a genocide, particular attention in the neutrality discussion was placed on the opening sentences of the article which call it a genocide. The first paragraph in an article faces greater scrutiny for compliance with policy because it’s the first thing read and people may not read further.

I’m not sure exactly what you mean by “international ruling”, but I’ll try to answer a couple of possibilities.

To quote one user from the rather lengthy thread I linked:

Unless you think we should deny the Armenian genocide, too, because only 30 or so countries have formally recognized it.

This would be one example of few nations recognizing a what is generally accepted as a genocide.

Perhaps you mean the UN specifically. Some bodies within the UN have called it a genocide, but the countries within the UN haven’t voted to declare it as such (to my knowledge). However, many argued that governments aren’t necessarily a good authority on this due to political conflicts of interest.

The ICJ has issued some warrants related to the genocide, but I don’t know if any of their language specifically called it a genocide.

I agree that Wikipedia should be neutral, but given the academic consensus and Wales’ conflicts of interest I think their neutral point of view policy is satisfied. To me it seems like an attempt to dress genocide denialism in the form of adhering to their “neutral point of view” policy, but this being my opinion is of course subjective.

EDIT: it does look like they discuss the opponents to calling it a genocide in the Political Discourse section of the wiki page

EDIT2: fixed some formatting in the quote, some of my text was accidentally included

Except less than a month before, Wikipedia concluded an RFC (request for comments) discussing this exact issue where 2/3 voted to call it a genocide. He could’ve argued for it here.

The argument primarily stemmed from governments which claimed it was not a genocide, which would also apply to other accepted genocides. He said that academics should not be considered above other sources for deciding to call it a genocide despite it being established policy on Wikipedia that academic sources are held above other sources. So basically going against well established policy which is applied to the rest of Wikipedia in direct conflict with the community consensus.

Wales also is a self described ally of Israel and has received monetary awards from them which presents a conflict of interest. If you’d like to read the whole exchange (or part of it) you can do so here. When people link to pages in the WP namespace (e.g. WP:NPOV) they are referencing established policy
