Never understood why I get the weird looks if I tell people that I use GitLab. Like CICD is really good and lots of useful features are free.


How would one found a human verified internet without something like worldcoins orb? And even then you could not verify that the content is not created by ai.


What would be the alternative? Solving captchas also costs the counterparty money.


I avoid it because a bug where I cant accept the tos update prevents me from


Every time I try to contribute, I get censored by some gatekeeper. It feels as open and inviting nowadays as StackOverflow.


It's getting really hard now. I've been editing since day one. Recently I had awful trouble getting a new article accepted. I gave up for some months and came back and it was accepted first time.

Apparently you can pay a high-ranking Wikipedia editor to massage your article into the site. I know a Hollywood producer who paid to get himself listed.

What amazes me most, though, is that I still find new subjects to write about that don't exist yet on Wikipedia.


Paying to create an article is a scam:

It's more nuanced than that. Wikipedia allows payments in some situations as long as they are public:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Connected_contributor...

The editor who massaged the article in question has it somewhere on his profile that he accepts payments and has a list of articles he has taken payment for.


Could you provide their username, please? I'd ba interested.


There is also a free little tool for cofounder alignment called https://aligna.team


One script to rule them all ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ノ⌐■-■ var c=document.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"]');function a(e){e<c.length&&(c[e].checked&&(c[e].click(),setTimeout(()=>a(e+1),500)),!c[e].checked&&a(e+1))}a(0);


The timeout can be about 200 before you need to chill out..


Nice read. Love how it evoked the memories from the golden days where everything was exciting, new and fun :)


Maybe give https://aligna.team a try.


I just went through the link, but it seems to be an analysis tool. Analyzing and receiving feedback is great, but you can only get real feedback from people if you work with them, and aligna.team is not what I'm looking for. However, the questions are great. Thank you for the suggestion :)


I find the question errors are kinda useless.

I did the co-founder yc matching. we agreed on the terms of the trial work, but after 5 months, the other person wasn't completely honest about their contributions. They expected me to code up their idea and then also help with the marketing, sales, etc. while they traveled around the world.

The best advice I have is be strict and make sure both sides are working towards the goal.


Thank you for the suggestion :) Don't you think you'd have worked on-site with that person?


Looks like a bad recruiting trick.


worked out beautifully!
