We all knew this, but now there's an open admission.

Well, shit. The one nonprofit I trusted. :(
Where should my annual $3 charity budget go, now?!
But also, didn't Greenwald go for a too long of a walk into conspiracyland?

Linux foundation, GNU/FSF, Software Freedom Conservancy, Lemmy development fund, Lemmygrad server fund! Just to name a few!
Linux foundation
Don't they have some wacky takes regarding the Ukraine conflict and overall work with the Yankee MoD?
Not sure, wouldn't surprise me though. My bad if this is true. I mostly just use Linux (and GNU software) and don't really keep up with what the devs are doing.
Plus Prolewiki to name another.
Yes! Can't believe I forgot about that!

Yes, but leftists have long suspected the feds have had presence there, I'm sure someone has some article that can show evidence
We do have prolewiki.org if you've never been to that before, you could consider giving them some of that if you like it
someone actually just posted this further up the thread lol https://www.reuters.com/article/us-security-wikipedia/cia-fbi-computers-used-for-wikipedia-edits-idUSN1642896020070816

but more seriously regardless, wikipedia makes a ton of money from public grants and for their role helping the NSA and other federal agencies. I don't understand why they keep asking random people for money when they really, really don't need it. My theory is that because Jimmy Wales is a weird Ayn Rand libertarian, he wants to make it seem as if his model of an "encyclopedia the common man can edit" works.

Pretty sure Ayn Rand lived off of welfare while advocating against it, so it fits
