Wasn't tailored for Ferrari, or at least not for Ferrari alone. Porsche is a much bigger player revenue – 5x the annual revenue.

Same for a while. OTOH a Pixel 9 Pro screen of a close friend broke 7 times in a year.

"everywhere" – look twice.
Agreed by all, but one: In 0 years.

A bit late, but still so far best move of any US State. Originated myself in Central Europe and every day counts when I see the development in my home country and its neighbors!

Same here, after I wrote my comment, my next thought was what ways there could be enabled to have similar content on Wikimedia projects. The rules around Wikipedia projects (encyclopedic content, an article content narrated along an axis, as in meters here) and moderation are the hurdles from my POV. But then again, maybe it's simpler/better to have folks taking free content, putting it in a narration on their sites and linking back to Wikipedia as part of distributed Web.

This is beautiful, thanks. Why not linking the creatures to their English Wikipedia pages to get curious folks more background? Wikimedia Foundation employee here in private comment. Just learnt the first time about the Leatherback Sea Turtle here.

Rental might be a “different” option than buying a newly produced 2.7 metric tons truck?!

Re:Dark mode in a website with CSS on Tuesday October 08, 2019 @11:03PM (#21199600)
You can try https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Volker_E._(WMF)/dark-mode for now. It's a black/night mode at the moment. And (not yet) an official option with some technical acceptance issues like lazy-loading, therefore flicker on load. – I work for the Wikimedia Foundation.
