#ActivityPub #OSM #fedigeo #geosocial
Currently I am finishing the OpenStreetMap to ActivityPub / JSON LD module.
The `type`, `context`, ìcon`, `nameMap`, `url` and location parts are ready.
Now it is a giant puzzle to transform all the OSM tags and in particular to make a nice i18n `summaryMap` and `contentMap` text out of it.
So, if you know simmilar projects, please let me know
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
For fans of entirely spurious numbers, the UNIX timestamp is about to hit 17777777.
Hold on to your butts!
@Edent I do indeed enjoy this. My sister and I sometimes send screenshots or photos to each other when we notice the time hit 12:34. It’s a simple way of letting the other know we’re thinking of each other.
@tomtrottel 🤝 It's messed up how the people always have to fight to wrest any rights from those in power, and then fight even harder to keep them!
@madeindex @tomtrottel It is - but it's also heartening (can we say that? The opposite of disheartening? I think we should) that despite this & even though the rich & powerful hate it as much as they ever did, We™️ have been able to do so throughout history, on a consistent graph - local fluctuations notwithstanding - towards more human rights. It's almost like progress of humanity can't be stopped, only slowed down.
@madeindex Not a problem at all and the Collie thinks it is a great start to the day. Interesting mix of personalities - the Poodle is a ditz (locally known as Princess Nutnut) and prone to sulk if she does not get her own way, the Lab is probably the dumbest dug I have ever met and the Collie - well they are perfect. I take balls and a ‘thrower’ so they get rather more than just 10k and are reported to go to sleep for the morning on their return. The collie looks forward to his next run.
@Wen <333 Sounds like wonderful mornings for you all, the doggy dog dog marathon gang hehe
This is perfect!

The night before opening a tiny art show and I slept like a baby.
And by thatI mean I woke up every three hours, crying and puking.
I'm now in "journal won't let me submit without having all data uploaded but data is 2Petabytes and zenodo won't let me" territory...

hvanleeuwen@mastodon.social - @neuronakaya the idea that scientists ‘don’t want you to know a fact’ is statistically incompatible with their behavior
they publish ~2.5m papers/yr, upload 200k+ preprints, make >3m figures, and generate so many supplements that journals added file‑size limits because people kept submitting appendices the size of small video games
i once heard of 14gb of raw data uploaded ‘in case someone might care.’
Because I am an Old™, I went looking for these bands on BandCamp so I could grab their albums.
Foolish elder! They exist only on TikTok!

(Although, TBF, both bands have been going for less than a year.)

@dysfun oh you’ll REALLY like* that report I linked. Not only do they tear the software of the train remote control system to shreds, they even poked into the organizational change management that allowed it to be deployed in the first place.
Accidentally saw two bands tonight. XL Poncho and Bad Gravy. Both excellent.
Oh, and a Fire Eater.
Not quite the night I was expecting, but probably the night I needed 😆

L’organisation ? Les cadences ? La sous-traitance ? Hors de cause. De toute façon, pour la plupart des médias, l’univers de la production demeure hors champ.

…and so it is that next Thursday, UK folks get to cast one byte of data into the bit torrent of pretending that the social contract isn’t toast.
A context in which where we actually are can never be discussed openly in mainstream circles by anyone
@urlyman perhaps worth mentioning that while there are some admittedly important places, such as Scotland, Wales and London that are voting in their national/local elections this week other places in the UK don't get the opportunity to express their disatisfaction with how our countries are being run at the ballot box.
For example there are no elections this year in Teignbridge District Council area in Devon, where I live.
So if you haven't been leafleted or canvassed or not seen any party posters that may be why.
@Wen Oh that''s why! Very nice of you <3
Although I suspect going out with this gang isn't all that bad!

Good morning, world!
The works are proceeding and I can mostly sit and check from time to time.
Hands and feet are cold, but no fever and generally feeling better.
But, above all, lasagne will arrive in one hour from now.
You know, you need energy to recover, don’t you? 😀
@platypusparent awwww ❤️
