Normally I'd say it's just some people bickering. Who cares?

Now, with current state of affairs in the USA & geopolitics 😲

I'm actually downloading the full English version of Wikipedia incl images. Roughly 110GB on disk storage. Just to be sure. Unbelievable.

Thanks @kiwix for providing the data & viewers to access Wikipedia & other knowledge.
