I imagine this article doesn’t include the whole story and is probably biased. Perhaps China was more specific about whatever Wikimedia did.

And by free I mean the amount of people who currently use for example WhatsApp, which allows us to freely communicate with others. Even my mother is using it! Ten years ago she hadn’t touched any kind of tech.

I don’t understand the sarcasm. Those resources cost Oracle money, and they give them for free to researchers. A mention in return is very reasonable.

It is technically a popup, but the video gets paused as long as it’s open.
YouTube has been annoying me much lately (especially when all videos start playing at low quality for the few first seconds) but this really is the last straw. Unfortunately all videos on the internet are there. So all I can do about it is bark here. Woof woof.
