Jesus Fucking Christ, this fucking company can pay 13 billion and it still will not do a dent on their TRILLION dollars value. Imagine all that society could benefit if those fucking assholes just paid their share, instead of us having to hear how green and socially conscious these bastards are.

Tech companies are the most disgusting corporations in their sheer greed, right up there with oil corps.

They greedy af. They've lobbied (bribed?) to keep the corp taxes as low as possible. Then they go Double Irish with Dutch Sandwich and NOT pay the low taxes anyways. If we were to tax them appropriately then it'd be a helluva lot more than 13b imo

Please, anyone who reads this, stop posting links to the mobile version of Wikipedia. It doesn’t switch automatically on PC, and I see it happen all the time. Just take the half a second to remove the “.m” from the beginning of the link, save everyone else from the pain of having to be surprised by it and taking the time to do it themselves.

And people using mobile can go stuff themselves? It doesn't switch automatically either way.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It does for me. On mobile if Wikipedia notices you are using a mobile browser, it automatically redirects you to the m. URL.

While I agree this is inconvenient, this sounds like something on Wikipedia to address.

I think it's going to be a losing battle to try to not only make everyone everywhere aware of the problem, let alone convince them to put in the (admittedly minimal) effort every time to deal with it.

I agree it would be best for Wikipedia to address this on their end, but I have actually no idea where to begin with asking them to make a change like this.

It actually does switch automatically on mobile, just not desktop, which is why I get annoyed enough when it happens to mention it.
