I want a public domain encyclopedia that includes topics of new technology, and also one which doesn't literally make me want to kill myself due to inserted propaganda of evil etc. Since this supposedly [modern](modern.md) society failed to produce even a single such encyclopedia and since every idiot on this planet wants to keep his copyright on everything he writes, I am forced to write the encyclopedia myself, even for the price of making mistakes. No, US public domain doesn't count as world wide public domain. Even without copyright there are still so called [moral rights](moral_rights.md) etc. Blame this society for not allowing even a tiny bit of information to slip into public domain. Writing my own encyclopedia is literally the best I can do in the situation I am in. Nothing is perfect, I still believe this can be helpful to someone. You shouldn't take facts from a random website for granted. If you wanna help me correct errors, email me.
### Why is this shit so poorly written and inconsistent (typos, incorrect comma placement, inconsistent acronym case, weird grammar etc.)?
Mainly for these reasons:
- On purpose, this is kinda informal text and doesn't wanna get all serious, I want the text to flow in the same way in which informal Internet chat does (both during reading and writing). Though I personally hate such mistakes (and the laziness of authors to proofread) in nice/formal texts, I purposefully don't aim for creating such type of text here because that would firstly make it something else than I want, and secondly it would be extra work and effort that I think is better spent on actually communicating ideas (as opposed to to communicating them perfectly). Afterall a "nicer" version of the wiki can be made by anyone as it is completely public domain.
- I don't care sometimes.
- I'm lazy.
- I'm shit and just make mistakes.
### How can you use [CC0](cc0.md) if you, as anarchists, reject laws and intellectual property?
We use it to **remove** law from our project, it's kind of like using a weapon to destroy itself. Using a [license](license.md) such as [GFDL](gfdl.md) would mean we're keeping our copyright and are willing to execute enforcement of intellectual property laws, however using a CC0 [waiver](waiver.md) means we GIVE UP all lawful exclusive rights that have been forced on us. This has no negative effects: if law applies, then we use it to remove itself, and if it doesn't, then nothing happens. To those that acknowledge the reality of the fact that adapting proprietary information can lead to being bullied by the state we give a guarantee this won't happen, and others simply don't have to care.
