I would have thought an #Australian would know that #Indonesia has multiple time zones, no?
I guess for many of them, they don't really see much beyond #Bali
The most important features for an #Australian dictionary 😂

How Germany’s fight against anti-Semitism is empowering the far right
"Prominent #Jewish #Australian journalist Antony Loewenstein returns to his ancestral home, #Germany, to investigate how the country’s impulse never to repeat the horrendous anti-Semitism that led to the #Holocaust has resulted in the suppression of any criticism of Israel and its actions in #Gaza.
With critics of Israel being sacked, cancelled, silenced, arrested and banned from Germany, one Jewish philosopher has called this a “McCarthyism” for the 21st century. We’ll see how in today's Germany, a nation that killed most of his family but granted him citizenship in 2011, Loewenstein is told, as a Jew, what is acceptable to say about Israel. To find out why the German authorities are so committed to stifling any criticism of Israeli actions and what it means for #democracy and #humanrights in the country, he will meet those being arrested and suffering job losses for criticising Israel, the people enforcing these laws and those on the far right claiming to support #Israel.

A Strategic Community #Roadmap for an #Australian#FAIR#Vocabulary Ecosystem
https://doi.org/10.25911/N6K8-F540
Three years ago, I participated in a very engaged workshop at #ANU on #vocabularies for FAIR #data management. It sharpened how I think about vocabularies. I now see them primarily as a #KnowledgeTransfer tool for representing domain expertise in an actionable form. And I think we do a terrible job both at highlighting how critical they are (particularly in an age where trusted expertise is harder to find) and also at making them easier for others to find and reuse.
I picture this scenario. A student is about to start collecting data for their thesis. They need to make choices about what variables to observe or what questions to ask participants, and they need to think about how they want to represent the results to support their analysis. In the ideal case, the actual data collecting effort is about populating an imagined but initially empty data matrix. If they could be assisted to find the best structured and most widely used (in their domain) vocabularies for any categorical values in their data, it would be possible to generate that template matrix with in-built validation tools, etc. The data they finally collect would have most of its metadata already defined and would be properly interoperable with data collected by others in their domain. Meta-analysis would be much simpler.
I am interested in why tools like this don't really exist, or at least why they are not mainstream. I think it's because vocabularies are seen as such an ultra-nerdy subset of the nerdy topic of #metadata rather than presented as an opportunity to stand on the shoulders of others. What can be done to make them more friendly and intuitive for such purposes?
Finally, after way too many struggles, we have a report and recommendations from from that meeting in 2022. I tried to add some of these ideas to the final product as best I could.

after reading @smallcircles texts it reminded me my thoughts that Fediverse could be also great coworking place. with project management, kanban, tickets.
I like #Australian company #Atlassian very much for their high quality products. Maybe if they will enable (add) #ActivityPub support to their sofware, it will be very nice & cool.
but first, I think, they need to establish account on #fediverse .
