TIL Fedora is packaging a web browser app I developed for elementary OS, stopped updating over three years ago, and marked as end-of-life two years ago—yet it happily shows up in Fedora 40 if you search my name. It crashes on launch, so it doesn’t even work…

WHY??

Edit: I guess the package is being EOL'd in Fedora due to it no longer building and this thread, huzzah! My recommendation to distros: don’t package random apps and then not maintain them/communicate with upstream.

It's important to understand that "age verification" schemes being passed by states, ostensibly to "protect the children", won't do that and will bring about incredible abuses.

In order to age verify children, obviously EVERYBODY of any age must be verified, for every account, under every name or pseudonym, ultimately on every site no matter how public or private the topic, and before downloading any apps.

Children will find ways to work around this. They'll use the accounts of adults, which will be openly traded. But because these age verification systems must by definition be based on government IDs, the verification process creates a linkage between your account names and your actual identity, subjecting you to all manner of leaked personal information, government abuses (think MAGA in charge), and worse. Firms will claim their systems either don't keep this data or can't be abused. History strongly suggests otherwise, and when courts step in, those firms will have to do what the courts say, often in secret, when it comes to collecting data.

Age verification is in actuality a massive Chinese-style Internet identity tracking project -- nothing less -- and there are many politicians in the U.S. who look with envy at how China controls their Internet and keeps their Internet users under police state controls.

A long awaited day has finally arrived, Minecraft Wiki has moved from Fandom to https://minecraft.wiki.

We were able to bring a lot of improvements with this move including less ads, a new skin, faster load time and more.

Please visit https://minecraft.wiki/w/Minecraft_Wiki:Moving_from_Fandom for details why we've made this decision.

Soon we will also share how YOU can help entire Minecraft community reach forked wiki.

Thank you to everyone who have helped making this a reality. ❤️

We are finishing up our work on our fork wiki! We know a lot of you really want to see refreshed and hopefully better Minecraft Wiki, we are getting really close to it now.

Meanwhile, give Indie Wiki Buddy a try: https://getindie.wiki/, it's a browser extension giving independent wikis more visibility by informing you when visiting their unfriendly equivalent.

If you are confused, see our previous post on what a fork is: https://wikis.world/@MinecraftWikiEN/110810862033280907
