Racism in the Fediverse: Eris of Disqordia

youtube.com/watch?v=WUXOUd2AEN

I wanted to put my thoughts on Eris and racism on fediverse in video form so here it is.

I want this wide. Boost boost boost. I want this on every fediverse instance's timeline.

ok, well, is a JPEG of a page of text an image?

Show thread

i solved a very difficult programming problem and want praise but frankly the problem is ridiculous my solution is also ridiculous and also probably nobody i know could even understand it or why it was so challenging so

is an animated GIF, where each frame is a page of text, an image?

Show thread

i don’t feel this way about everything being written in C tho because C is actually a meritous language

Show thread

oh, i feel about everything being written in Rust the same way i do about everything being written in Java

Json·L·D supports two different R·D·F 1.1 equivalences for strings with both language and direction, but unfortunately both are basically unusable in Owl (as one is a custom datatype, which cannot be reasoned about, and the other is a blank node, which cannot be the value of a data property)

Show thread

(actually it¦s probably best to keep direction as a separate property unless and until they update all of the downstream specifications to support R·D·F 1.2, since 1.1 only supports language, but shhhhh)

Show thread

YES it is more processing work to explicitly handle all those possibilities but it is BETTER i tell you!!

Show thread

programmers!! stop defining Json‐L·D syntaxes which encode text as plain strings with separate properties for language, direction, and media type!! Json‐L·D explicitly supports tagging direction AND language directly on the string itself!! and rdf:XMLLiteral exists for data which is serializable to X·M·L!

(i was saying “we¦re ALMOST done i just need to add Web Annotations” up until yesterday, and then i realized i hated how Web Annotations do TextualBody¦s so now we need AWOL as well)
