Knowledge.
E.Ú.L
Wikimedia Foundation is one of the best findings of this century. Giving the public access to free knowledge and information is such an honourable thing to do. In a world of generative AI, I will always and forever choose Wikipedia. I hope that they continue to run, and if they shut down at all, I think a part of my soul will shut down too. I have gained invaluable information from Wikipedia, and the app gives you a smoother experience. The daily game is also quite fun, as well as the top articles and the featured articles and pictures. Could not recommend Wikipedia enough, or any of the Wikimedia Foundation websites. Please, stop using generative AI, and instead download this app and do your own research. If anyone tries to tell you that ‘Wikipedia is unreliable’, just remember that everyone cites their sources on Wikipedia, and you can check them yourself before using the information. And anyways, if I’m going to be misinformed, it’s going to be by the people, not by some water-sucking, energy wasting, greenhouse gas emitting robot.
More vital than ever

In a world filled with untrustworthy news and plain disinformation, it is amazing to have a resource that is trustworthy, referenced and constantly updated. And you can even trace the history of each page and the discussion surrounding any contentious issues. This is one of the Internet's greatest achievements!
