The last CEO of Wikimedia Foundation was ex Mckinsey, the current CEO was a senior advisor at the US National Security Council.

@failedLyndonLaRouchite copied the line from her Wikipedia page exactly. So take it up there if you think that's incorrect

[liaizon@social.wake.st]

@demha no

[failedlyndonlarouchite@mas.to]

@liaizon so you take no responsibilty for what you post ?

sure, ok, that is fine, this is social media

[demha@comp.lain.la]

@liaizon whatd an decentralised wikipedia be like?

[liaizon@social.wake.st]

@failedLyndonLaRouchite what are you talking about? If you think she wasn't a senior advisor you need at least give some evidence of that

[failedlyndonlarouchite@mas.to]

@liaizon

sorry, no not disputing that she was a SA

disputing what "senior advisor" means cause as I read this, "senior advisor" means she is some sort of bad person not to be trusted (roughly speaking)

[liaizon@social.wake.st]

@failedLyndonLaRouchite I think anyone who gets involved in the US National Security aparatus is already a spesific type of person. You don't just find yourself there. That's not to say they are "bad" or "good" but it already pinpoints the area of focus your life has taken.

@liaizon Your post came across my feed alone, and before I clicked through, my first thought was

"But .. isn't accurate measurement kind of important? And straight lines? I still use a ruler even though it's been years since grade school."

@nemobis @liaizon If Wikipedia is not part of Wikimedia foundation, why is Wikipedia periodically running really intrusive ads that are persuading people to donate to that foundation, while saying that they aren’t running ads?

[ahltorp@mastodon.nu]

@nemobis @liaizon And why does every Wikipedia page say "A Wikimedia project", a link to a page that says "All major projects are operated by the Wikimedia Foundation", if Wikipedia is not operated by the Wikimedia Foundation?

@liaizon The reply (x2 via zendesk, see my profile name) to my donation cancellation reads like the comms team at Walmart. Smells like a CEO relationship to Wikipedia to me.

@liaizon i bet they are courting the cop from raspberry pi as we speak…

[liaizon@social.wake.st]

@gekitsu hahahaha

[rickd6@mstdn.ca]

@liaizon when they only hire/interview people who have been CEO’s for these positions what can you expect?
