If you poke around there you will see a million line items that can be accurately summarized as “not Wikipedia”. The wikimedia foundation is massively bloated because they have an infinite source of funding. I don’t even think all the projects they are doing are bad or anything, it’s just that they aren’t Wikipedia.

It’s highly unethical the way they solicit for donations and heavily imply that the donations are to run Wikipedia. They aren’t. They are spending all that money on other pet projects and pinkertons to do union busting.

There’s no need. They have enough money to run Wikipedia for many many decades.

I’m not sure Israeli education is worth even zero dollars, given the kind of monsters it’s churning out.

How do you manage to never get spam calls and texts?

What is wrong with you?

Is the laptop cooling ok with the lid closed? Or do you crack it open when actually in use?

The stated justification is that it somehow catches forgeries that altered the front of an ID but didn’t make the barcode information match. That might have been justifiable in like 1980 or something, but it’s reaaaaaaally not hard to generate the correct barcode these days if you’re forging an ID.

The real reason is to track and sell more data about you.
