AFAIK they mostly try to stay away from humans. Humans are mostly their competitors and they can smell the presence of humans earlier than we can see them, so they can avoid us before we even know they are there.

There are quite a few videos on the Internet of wolves being very friendly to humans, but I don't think those are wild ones.

That is why lots of time zone selectors allow you to select "Europe/Berlin": then it is clear that depending on the time of year this is UTC+1 or UTC+2.

Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are not really comparable. The PRC is a dictatorship by design, constitutionally, and that will not change just because the current guy dies. Russia has a nominally democratic constitution and it's nowhere near as unthinkable that it might one day become an actual working democracy.

It used to be that Wikimedia projects had lots of volunteers willing to maintain the projects, but the WMF didn't have a lot of money. Now the WMF is swimming in money (which it uses to do more and more "office actions" bypassing community processes), but editor numbers are staying constant or even shrinking. People nowadays like to spend time a lot more pretty much everywhere else on the Internet than on Wikimedia projects.

It is time for free knowledge to transition to a concept where people get paid, not the wiki concept that worked fine to start out in the beginning, but whose limits have now become clear.
