A fascinating travelogue which, as all good travel writing does, tells your readers a lot about you as well as your trip. I am glad we share an interest in mobile editing, and also that you had a great time. Way back when I was in college well over 40 years ago, I did some fairly serious research comparing and contrasting the teachings and practices of the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Mennonites and the Quakers with regards to military conscription.

Oh no! I totally misspelled her name. It's Natalia. I think my phone autocorrected me there. I'm going to go fix that now. But she's one of the organizers of the conference. [1]Clovermoss🍀(talk)15:15, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Clovermoss: Excellent indeed. Of course, now that you're world-famous it took slightly more effort to talk to you than last time in Toronto, what with my own minor illness also slowing me down this time. Yes, I saw other bright young people besides you, doing more, learning more, getting a little scared, a bit dizzy with absorbing the many novelties. They were all a delight even though I couldn't hope to keep up. Ah, if only I could be merely thrice your age again, but clearly Wikiism is falling into good hands.

I received a comment off-wiki disputing the accuracy of I found out that the Wikimedia Foundation owns their data centres for privacy reasons, that this practice is incredibly expensive, and that it's unusual for tech companies to do this. They said that while it is better for privacy implications, hosting Wikipedia at the scale it is now would be prohibitively expensive if they didn't have their own data centres. I'm not a tech person and this piece just repeats what I remember being told that day. But I do think it's worth mentioning that the accuracy of something I said was disputed. One example that was given was Dropbox. [2]Clovermoss🍀(talk)05:47, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
