"I'm a member of Ohio's Haitian community. The misinformation is hurting our kids"

I'm really getting much more of a chuckle from the puzzles thrown up by trying to use a #VintagePC on a modern network than I ever expected!

Modern #puTTY binaries won't run on #WindowsNT4; ancient binaries from January 2000 are available and will run, but can't connect to a modern #SSH server. Most effective for file transfer is a combination of #telnet specially installed on my daily driver #Linux machine and python3 -m http.server.

Netscape 4.7 works nicely with the Python HTTP server, and the telnet client that comes with Windows NT4 supports VT100 so on opening a shell on my Linux machine, I find the w3m command line web browser is just about usable - good enough to download ancient binaries and installers onto the Linux machine that can be served via Python's HTTP server.

I've also given #wrp, the Web Rendering Proxy, a spin; it's surprisingly effective. Runs on a Linux machine on the network and serves pages as GIFs with clickable image maps.

I have a couple of old notebook computers and a couple of old tablets. One notebook is an old, MacBook โ€œCoreDuoโ€ updated to Mac OSX. The other is an ASUS Windows PC about a decade or a little more old. Iโ€™m considering installing some version of #Linux just to get the experience of doing that as well as get experience with Linux. Any tips, advice, suggestions?

Wikipedia has been hit with several lawsuits in recent years for misrepresentation. In India, a major media outlet sued the site for misinformation in an article.

The same processes are happening in the US and Europe: Wikipedia agreed to remove misinformation from its materials only under the influence of the court.

Experts note that dissatisfaction with the editorial policies of Wikipedia is growing around the world.
