Don't give JK Rowling ideas.

Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel winning economist. There's no such thing as a Nobel Prize In Economics, and economists were upset by this and made their own prize with a complicated name that the media would shorten and muddle with a real Nobel Prize.

The same site says things like:

Between 1901 and 2024, the Nobel Prizes and the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel were awarded 627 times to 1,012 people and organisations.

which pretty clearly makes a distinction between the Nobel Prizes and the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.

There's no such thing as a Nobel Prize in economics. Economists got salty about this and came up with the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel, and rely on the media shortening it to something that gets confused with real Nobel Prizes.

Sandwich cake is already a term that means the same thing as layer cake. The classic combination of two layers of Victoria sponge with strawberry jam and whipped cream in between is called a Victoria Sandwich. Anyone arguing that a layer cake isn't a sandwich is just illiterate, not a defender of semantic specificity.

AGPL is a full-on FOSS licence with strong copyleft requirements, not a measly open-source licence like Apache, which could be pivoted to proprietary at a moment's notice. We're communicating through an AGPL-licensed system right now as it's what Lemmy's licensed as. If they were going for a corporate-friendly licence, AGPL is the last thing they'd choose as it forces you to share source code with even more people than the regular GPL does.

Marxism-Leninism isn't about being Marxist or Communist. It's about supporting whatever's politically expedient for the current leader of Russia without critical analysis.

Well is your writing your way of expressing how you felt when you found out your uncle was Welsh? That's the real key to Lovecraft.

Wikipedia management shouldn't be under that pressure. There's no profit motive to enshittify or replace human contributions. They're funded by donations from users, so their top priority should be giving users what they want, not attracting bubble-chasing venture capital.

Like a real powertool, if you unscrew the safety features because you feel they're getting in your way, they no longer provide safety. Having the guard from a chainsaw in your back pocket does nothing to protect you from the chainsaw you're holding.

I guess this is slightly less disturbing than the previous approach to cyborg cockroaches where their antennae were snipped and enamelled wire was inserted into the stubs to directly stimulate their nerves.

It could still be to cover up war crimes that the BBC team hadn't got quite close enough to discover yet, but the IDF were concerned that they might have if not scared away. It could just be for opsec, but them having been competent at stopping the BBC seeing whatever it was they were hiding isn't proof that the thing being hidden was benign.
