Every now and then I’ll get an email from someone higher up in Wikipedia asking for a donation. I don’t really mind a tenner but I don’t know if it pads the pockets of corporate management or actual contributors. Also, are they really short of money or is this tugging at emotional strings a play at something else? I wish Wikipedia survives but there’s a lot of projects I need to donate to and I have a budget.

      I do, but certain Android browsers don’t support plugins, and I have to use that browser for compatibility reasons with some work shit (I do on-call stuff). I need that to just work, so I can’t use, say, Firefox for Android. That leaves me with DNS-based ad blockers. Those work almost as well, but only when I’m home or VPNed home. When I can’t VPN or I forget to, I get fandom rage.
