apparently Uk govt has never played watch dogs legion, nor seen Equilibrium (C Bale movie), nor Minority Report, nor Richard III, nor read Brave New World, nor the billion other movies, novels, games, poems, songs, Banksy art, social videos, cave paintings, etc that specifically warned UK not to (re)become the villain (over and over again)

it’s like the 2nd most popular culture topic… after “love” or something

but noooo, just had to be edgelordsandladies.gov.uk

Agree.

I also think a federated wiki is a great idea.

I think the way to do that is: instead of having separate realities/universes linked together by search and federation, try to unite those universes into a shared multiverse, to the greatest possible.

In other words

• ❌ merely give all federated users access to the same articles
• ✅ automatically link and embed similar articles into each other by default (collapsed, but expandable). similarity can be determined by authors’/contributors’ intentional citations, by instance owners’ filter rules, by LLM, etc.

of course, there may be attempts to obfuscate relatedness, astroturfing, brigading, whatnot. I wonder if its possible to visualize voting results for each duplicated/linked article along with the originating instance. I think this would function as a pseudo version of ‘community fact-checking’. Maybe a better name would be ‘reality-checking’ or ‘sanity-checking’ or whatever.

I’ll third that (e)motion

edit: just remembered,

i haven’t tried these yet but i think they might do the same with enough setup

https://github.com/huginn/huginn

I’ve heard that the later is used by journalists and osint investigators to gather & organize info automatically.

anyone have firsthand experience with either?

the rss app?

they would need to pair it with a search engine that offers custom rss feeds

so boring…
