Can someone please drop a unicorn solo dev business into my lap so I can stop feeling depressed about the industry for a bit 😂
Good morning! Had a decent night.
Now shower, breakfast, packing, and then a long day in the saddle, heading west.
@slothrop Good luck, and have fun!
Ik sprak een tech journalist over nostalgie nav de herlancering van de naam Hyves. En ik vertelde dat mensen ook enorm enthousiast zijn over retro Commodore 64's enzo. En toen vroeg 'ie wat een Commodore 64 was. Ik had helaas geen tijd voor een stevige boswandeling.
I once caught a sign THIS BIG...
@richcampbell La Gavulin!
@silverspookgames awesome!
@MissConstrue Thanks a lot!
Amnesty International calls for ICE to be abolished
A question for people into metadata.
I want to mark a book as Fiction or Non-Fiction using [Schema.org](http://Schema.org)
The only applicable property I can see is https://schema.org/genre
That says the value can be text or a URl.
So should I use the plain text
"genre": "fiction"
or point to a definition like Wikidata
"genre": "https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q8253"
Vote in the poll… now!
@Edent knowledge classification via linked data. 🥰
The tension is neither the wikdata uri nor its predicates are human parseable and the label isn’t machine readable.
So provide both and give it the concept treatment with a json object. Its id is the wiki data link with a label of “fiction”.
In skos it would look like `”genre”: {“id”: “urihere”, “prefLabel”: “fiction”}`, which gives human and machine text.
I’m sure there’s a schema.org analogue. Looking forward seeing what you chose.
A tip to new users of Mastodon:
By adding a profile picture you make it easier for others to recognize individual users. If you don't, people like me see a follower list where everyone looks the same.
The best profile picture is a selfie. The second best is any other picture than the default.
Welcome to the best social medium on the planet!

@randahl
Indeed, we humans are visual people.
Pimp that profile with your selfie or if you don't want to show your face put up a picture of your cat or dog. Or get creative and upload a caricature drawing of yourself. Anything as long as it is original.
Very much appreciated, thank you.
As of today, the CDC has changed (reverted) their Covid guidance to make the vaccine recommended for all people over 18. In addition to being a smart public health move, this recommendation also means insurance must cover it.

@BlogPhilo de rien, j'ai entendu Michel Feher l'expliquer dans un podcast "Minuit dans le siècle" et de mon point de vue ça cochait toutes les cases de ce que je crois comprendre des motivations du vote pour le FN/RN !
@PH7831 @BlogPhilo Sauf que le "producerisme" du RN n'est dirigé que contre les immigrés. Il n'y a aucune dénonciation des rentiers et des riches dans leur discours politique. Ils sont pas cons ils QUI finance les campagnes électorales...
À la limite tu pourrais parler d'un "producerisme vers le haut" en ce qui concerne LFI et un "producerisme coloré vers le bas" en ce qui concerne le RN.
Alright, time to go to bed. Tomorrow I’m planning on an early start, and a long day.
Good morning! Had a decent night.
Now shower, breakfast, packing, and then a long day in the saddle, heading west.

@silverspookgames awesome!
With the Rails 8.2 release (probably) imminent, work is about to ramp up on @mosscap, the fork we've been laying the groundwork for.
If you want to reduce the impact of the "weird guys" on Rails, Ruby and OSS in general, we need your help!
This is ESPECIALLY true if you're a member of a community marginalized by the far-right rhetoric that comes from Rails' founder. This fork can't be led by the usual white male voices (e.g. me), we need *much* more diverse leadership.
When we started the Cochrane Collaboration—over 30 years ago!—I wrote a proposal for consumer participation in the organization & its work, including setting up a Consumer Network as one of the constituent groups.
That 1994 document, "The Power of Sharing Knowledge," has been added to the historical collection at the James Lind Library: https://www.jameslindlibrary.org/bastian-h-1994/

This is what happens when Russian soldiers enter Ukraine.
Good luck on your mobilisation.
@randahl Horrific but the terrible cost of war

Heute sind wir mühsam damit beschäftigt den ganzen Rotz dieser Jahre zu reparieren und das Sondervermögen das heute aufgenommen wird, wurde eigentlich DAMALS ausgelöst.
Was der Sahnetorte die Kirsche aufsetzt ist, dass damals auch noch eine Zeit der Niedrigzinsen einsetzte (deswegen waren auch all die Private-Equity-Heuschrecken auf Renditejagd und haben entsprechend Lobbydruck bei CDU und co. gemacht) man also in Zeiten in denen man günstig an Geld gekommen WÄRE alles verrotten ließ.
