#93Is "anti-labor" a "Big Tech" thing, or a "every employer" thing?
Re: Big tech's anti-labor playbook has come for Wikipedia
#94I spent ~2 years actively editing Wikipedia for multiple hours every day. I remember taking my laptop out at airports for 20 minutes between transfers, just to tweak an article or improve a source. While I originally started because I found some articles lackluster, I quickly realized how vigorous the editing process could be on controversial topics. For what simple HTML you see on the surface, you would be absolutel…

Have you considered the differences are because those are different people who have done much different things? I don't see a strong slant either way in these articles.

Agreeing with the negative portrayal does not make it an unbiased article.

What exactly do you see as a "negative portrayal"?
And disagreeing with the supposed "negative portrayal" or disapproving/approving of the actions of one does not make an article biased.

It is an extremely weak argument to just post the links.
Please supply actual instances of the supposed bias.

It is sometimes said that reality has a liberal bias. But it is literally the case that historians rank these two presidents at nearly opposite ends of the spectrum, and the article's tone seems to reflect that. Which isn't really an example of bias in Wikipedia - it is supposed to reflect what reliable sources say.

> Yes, why do you think there's so much emphasis on automating it from the management folks? ... and are we pretending that automating tasks is some strange new idea that has just appeared? Software engineers have always wanted to automate everything. The advice has been "automate it!" for the last 30, 40 years. It is different that the steamroller is heading for our own domain this time, but really. The industry isn…
> ... and are we pretending that automating tasks is some strange new idea that has just appeared? Of course not. Paying people has always been undesirable for the people paying. Software has been an exceptionally cushy job for an exceptionally long time, so people are exceptionally excited to pay less. Since the act of typing has never been the bulk of a software engineer's time -- the act of understanding has been…
