There is a #Wikipedia proposal [0] to modify the 'Find general sources' template [1]. The template is used on nearly a million Wikipedia pages (esp. talk pages, not articles). Knowledge review circulates between search engines + meta-search engines, academic peer-reviewed papers, and Wikipedia - should #SurveillanceCapitalism retain its power here? This #OpenKnowledge decision-making is #transparent and #participatory.
How can advocacy for a search engine monopoly be reduced (by practical editorial changes) in the English-language #Wikipedia?
This is a fundamental meta-academic question (reviews of knowledge) for which practical participation - with evidence and arguments - would be better than postmodernist gobbledegook or neoliberal empty rhetoric.

Being in Cambridge, today I’m fortunate to be able to attend ‘The Care of #Books Is a Difficult Business’, a symposium honouring the legacy of Francis Jenkinson (1853 Aug 20–1923 Sep 21), librarian of Cambridge University Library from 1899 until 1923. A full day of excellent papers, display of Jenkinsoniana, and a reception are planned. #GLAM#Libraries @bookhistodons
Habe eben einen soundcloud-link aus einer Bio einer ex-Politikerin hier aus Mastodon geklickt und auf einmal fragt @newpipe was ich damit machen möchte. Wie genial ist dieses Programm bitte. Ich wusste nichts von der #soundcloud, #bandcamp und #cccmedia Einbindung. #Hammer#Softwareempfehlung

How many interviews have actually been done with homeless people? How many of their stories of struggle have you actually heard?
Few to none I'll bet. That's because everyone involved in producing the glamour of a thriving society makes it a priority to suppress just how badly it's failing.
@the_Effekt
Without context of where said interviews appear (though I assume you refer to “mainstream” media), you may be interested in some independent publications like #StreetRoots (@streetrootsfeed), #HusForbi, or some other #StreetNewspaper.
I didn’t realize there was a term for them until just looking for the name of the Danish one, but #wikipedia has a brief list of some.
I'll post about the work we're doing to think about the future of our software, the challenges and successes behind some of our technical initiatives, and support for #languages and #accessibility across 400+ languages and locales.
I'm super hyped to geek out about free and open software online!
Unfortunately we had a small outage this weekend, but this is a good opportunity to remind everyone that you can download entire copies of #Wikipedia and other freely licensed projects for #offline use via #Kiwix!
Check out @kiwix - https://www.kiwix.org and set it up on your smartphone or laptop or boat so you can access free knowledge wherever you go.

Nachtarbeit: Endlich meine "Meilenstein"-Funde für eine nun etwas in greifbarere Nähe gerückte Wiederauffindung von Beethovens verschollenem Oboenkonzertmanuskript in der #Wikipedia ergänzt 💡
Und auch den Wiki-Artikel zu Mozarts Oboenkonzert ergänzt, dessen Originalmanuskript ebenfalls als verschollen gilt – es ist aber kein Zufall, dass beide zeitgleich fehlen, denn aus beiden wurde zeitgleich u. a. in #Augsburg konzertiert und zwar von 👇
