I’m ok with auto generated content, but only if it is clearly separated from human generated content, can be disabled at any time and writing main articles with AI is forbidden

Wikipedia is not made to teach people how to read, it is meant to share knowledge. For me, they could even make Wikipedia version with hieroglyphics if that would make understanding content easier

I love being in EU

So the current situation in Windows ecosystem is that application developers spend time working on protecting users against their own operating system

So I agree, I thought you are talking about some profit enshittification on Stack Overflow

For me, strict rules are what make this website useful. No threads named “help me” is why I like reading it.

For newcomers there is https://stackoverflow.com/staging-ground

Also, what do you mean “easily downloadable”? Can anyone download the entire corpus of SO in a way that they could set up their own SO with the same content to bootstrap them?

have you seen: https://archive.org/details/stackexchange

That they exploit our efforts to cash out and then sell the service for someone who will enshittify it for profit.

Can you give an example of this enshittification for profit?

People seem to be happy because of SO becoming irrelevant. I really don’t get it, I used this website for many years now and for me it is the second (after Wikipedia) most valuable source of knowledge. The UI is clean, no intrusive adds, best answer is the most visible. Threads are well organised and on topic. No spam, no dark patterns, no wasting your time. Discoverability is great, you can easily browse and learn knew things. It is also SEO friendly. Why do you prefer Discord? What do I miss?

What exactly do you accuse Stack Overflow for? As far as I know this service has always been free to use and data is easily downloadable.

Honestly, a few years ago when ChatGPT was becoming popular, I thought it would be much more common by now to be able to talk to characters in games. Yet here we are in 2025 with existing, quite good voice assistance technology and gaming world does not seem to be particularly interested

Ok, so how can I, as web developer, monitor if my notifications are rejected by this?

It is literally an algorytm made to hallucinate. The fact that it outputs accurate facts is more of a side effect.

do you think I am masochist or what, better give me gnu/linux on mobile ;)

Please, do not post clickbait

What is this

Wow, have they just realised that not every single thing computers do is actually useful to anyone? I think screens that show things when nobody’s looking cost a lot more on a global scale.

Naah, boring

So… the US government doesn’t have to fund it anymore? So that is an advantage for them in this situation, what is the disadvantage? Or was that their goal all along?

Forgejo is such a terrible name 🙄

This should also be part of git repo (but maybe not downloaded through typical git clone as it might be too large though). Has developers of git ever considered doing this?
