"Nobody knows who does what with what"

-- an issue title on the "making RDF more accessible" repo that succinctly summarizes the problem

Show thread

Note that this is still true for something I am reading that was written under 2 years ago. This isn't just some initial naivete.

It's no wonder that the only adoption of RDF seems to have been institutional and for internal business processes.

Sigh. Every other post about RDF talks about how much easier and cheaper it makes things for businesses.

I don't fucking care! Those should not be your bedfellows! Businesses do not act in the common interest!

Gaza war, romanian politics, ACAB 

Oh they're doing this to Romanians who posted pro-Palestine anything on Facebook too

Holy shit the Romanian police apparently called Palestinians to "come over for a little chat" or else "we'll come to you" to intimidate them ahead of a protest in Bucharest

A lot of people are criticizing individuals not wearing masks, and not very many people are criticizing the organizations (especially governments!) that have worked hard to convince those individuals that is over.

Government: “Did you train not arrive yet? Don’t eat a cookie, eat a banana.”

Please tell me the government is also belittling car drivers?

It randomly occurred to me that the Efteling probably has the only regularly operating steam train in the Netherlands?

Looking for an inventory management system for my books.

Preferably
#SelfHosted.

Looking for an inventory of physical books, a "wishlist" feature that I can export or print out, and scanning via barcode.

If it could link with Calibre for my digital versions, so much the better.

Annual reminder that your kids are a lot more likely to be hit by a car while trick-or-treating than they are to be poisoned by halloween candy.

Nobody likes your kids enough to give them free drugs, but plenty of people like driving enough to give them a free high-body impact from a two-ton machine.

You really want to get people back to the office? Forget free cocktails. Think free daycare, six month parental leave, 25 days vacation + holidays, extensive carer benefits for those who need them, the expectation that you’ll stay home and rest rather than work if you’re sick, flexible hours, further help with the enormous cost of living in the cities you operate in.

Dat hele Kieskompas is een grap.

Alleen beroeps-gedeformeerde politicologen kunnen de PVV zo dicht bij het midden plaatsen.

Bepaalde punten zullen langs de academische lat wellicht centristisch of zelfs linksig zijn... Maar alleen als je een paar cruciale punten gemakshalve vergeet.

Met name dat die centristische standpunten volgens hun visie van toepassing zijn op Henk en Ingrid. En expliciet niet op Achmed en Fatima.

ALs je zo een evident radicaal-rechtse partij in het centrum positioneert, ben je enorm aan het vertroebelen. Ook als je dat politicologisch allemaal onderbouwt.

En zo bewijs je niemand een dienst. Niet de samenleving, en niet de politieke wetenschap.

Niemand, behalve extreem-rechts zelf, die weer netjes hun scherpe randjes krijgen bijgeschoren door nette, redelijke mensen die vooral niet bevooroordeeld willen lijken.
