       Unions are like condoms -- if someone tries to tell you you don't need one, you *definitely* need one.

       @linear to the best of my knowledge, kiwix is the current gold standard for offline Wikipedia viewing (and yes I believe it's prerendered HTML in a nice package)if you want something more like ... a MediaWiki in a box that renders everything on-device with a local database and can optionally sync with live data from the Wikimedia servers on demand, I'm not aware of any such thing existing right now (and it would be a non-trivial project)

       Wikipedia, and the entire Wikimedia movement, has been a democratic, anti-authoritarian experiment since the day of its inception.It's a project that matters, something I've been proud to have made a career of.I spent my 20 years at the Wikimedia Foundation trying to further that experiment on a professional basis, and I have never been prouder of my former colleagues at WMF than I have been these past few months as we've been making @wwu a reality.You should organize your workplace too.

       "Bonjour! Je m'appelle Brooke, je suis américaine. Pardonnez-moi; mon français est très mal!""Un café, s'il vous plait.""Pouvez-vous me dire, ou se trouvent les salles de bain?"yes, university french prepared me for this moment (I can muddle slowly through news articles in French and can barely stammer out a coffee order)[side note: i hate that i can mark up a post as being _all_ in one language, but not _partially in multiple languages_]
