please
stay home

Breek met fossiele subsidies, kolonialisme, imperialisme, de wooncrisis en armoede. Het is tijd om te breken met systemen die échte verandering tegenhouden. Waar breek jij mee?

Stem voor een menswaardig bestaan voor iedereen, ongeacht je huidskleur, nationaliteit, religie, of je een beperking hebt, genderidentiteit, de grootte van je portemonnee of van wie je houdt.

"Love" (do not love) promotions from shops that are loudly announced as "ORDER FOR FREE", and then the actual promo is "we will select 3 orders today that will get their order amount refunded, but you'll only know afterwards"

And like, this is completely useless for the one demographic who would actually benefit from free anything, namely poor folks

There's a lot of technical details, and a lot of issues that hampered its adoption, and a lot of specialized tools, but like, once you ignore all the details, that's the pitch and that's what it does (and the design *does* broadly seem to make sense).

So, after too many hours of digging through specs and primers and whatnot, here's a brief summary of why Linked Data and RDF and all are interesting:

It allows to link "databases" (datasets) across different sites, without needing centralized coordination. It's like federation for datasets, and there is a whole ecosystem of tools for merging and relating between such datasets.

It was essentially an attempt to extend the 'open web' to machine-readable data, not just human-readable webpages.

@eevee can I throw "stop using 'rng' when you mean 'random'" onto this plea?

If you enjoy OpenStreetMap or StreetComplete, you should also have a look at OpenFoodFacts: world.openfoodfacts.org/ -- it's the same thing, but for cataloguing food.

You can scan the food that you have laying around the house (via the website or app), or help fix information about existing products by answering questions based on other people's photo uploads: hunger.openfoodfacts.org/

Mastodon often doesn’t seem to love my art BUT I’m super proud of this little guy - still needs some work but I’m trying to make Inktober all about getting shit done, not getting shit perfect.

ALT TEXT: A little cartoon fox belts it down a woodland path on his bright blue bike, getting some serious air. He’s remembered to wear his helmet - he is, after all, quite fragile.

Definitely getting some Myst vibes from the Dune soundtrack

#ABCovid Nieuw antiviraal middel ensetrelvir blijkt goed te werken tegen #COVID19 besmettingen, minder vervelende bijwerkingen te hebben, en zelfs Long Covid te verminderen met 26-45%.

Voor Nederland totaal irrelevant, want ook de reeds bekende werkzame antivirale middelen zoals Paxlovid zijn in NL nauwelijks te krijgen. In NL is #COVID19 immers voorbij, "een griepje", "mild"

datatype D-entailment, conjunctions of simple atomic sentences in first-order logic, merging the two singleton subgraphs of the three-node graph, ... :blobcatterrified:

Does anyone have a link to a real-world complex example of RDF / linked data that isn't just Wikidata? Preferably something that shows how related data from multiple sources (with some overlap) would be handled.

Hey there. In short I'm looking for potential donors as I need a live liver transplant. I've set up a bunch of information and links over at - ginpuliver.carrd.co/

Even if you cannot help me directly, please share this with others. There is bound to be someone out there that can help. 

Thank you all in advance.

it is kind of cool how your subconscious mind gives you a hint about the next upcoming plot twist in your permanent journey of self discovery by making you unhealthily obsessed with that thing.

anyway, based on number of open tabs, seems I will realize I am a train in the next month or so
