After deploying the Babelfish [1] machine translation engine at AtlaVista in the 1990s, Henry has been working on Decentralised social Networks since 2004 at Sun Microsystems when he took up foaf, contributing to the Atom Syntax syndication format, WebID Authentication, then in 201x worked on Linked Data Protocol, Social Linked Data Platform (Solid), and now is working on Access Control. He read philosophy, spent three years immersed in [2] Category Theory towards a Solid Phd, and earns a living programming in #Scala. He will also talk to you about the #WebOfNations.

With over 20% of democratic support and a lot across the US nostr:npub19zscu28djwhapecs3hh9qj5kr89hahq6mlx50dsqf72x8xxqv06q8xzyhq and the controversial topics that Kennedy touches on, you'd think there would be strong debate around the #fediverse of what he has to say.

But when one looks at the mastodon instances, most of them only contain negative stories about him, always the same, by the same activists.

Here are some of the largest ones, which I found through https://instances.social/

A long interview of nostr:npub19zscu28djwhapecs3hh9qj5kr89hahq6mlx50dsqf72x8xxqv06q8xzyhq where #RFKJr develops the long-term view of the #Ukraine conflict and outlines the real dangers of #NuclearWar, massive loss of #US economic power (due to the potential loss of the dollar as a reserve currency), the realignment of interests between Russia and China, the creation of new global alliances against the US, etc... etc...

The #neocon strategy of a unipolar world is just not a good idea, as anyone could have told them 30 years ago.

The #ActivityStreams core standard

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-core/#jsonld

says

“The serialized #JSON form of an Activity Streams 2.0 document must be consistent with what would be produced by the standard #JSON-LD 1.0 Processing Algorithms and API [JSON-LD-API] Compaction Algorithm using, at least, the normative JSON-LD @context definition provided here.”

So that means that Activity Streams should have a good extensionality story, and so adding tags with semantic content should not be too difficult.

Re tags. There was a company called Faviki that did a very good job of linking #tags to Wikipedia, via DBpedia, perhaps. This allowed people to come to agreements over tags in a communal way, and it allowed one to search for similar tags or implied tags. (also it could help with translation between tags)

I wrote about Faviki somewhere on blogs.sun.com, but I did not find it. Here is one thing I wrote on the subject:

curl -LH'Accept: application/ld+json' https://w3c.social/@csarven

will give you activity pub with a context that can be interpreted as a form of json-ld I am told.

But ask @csarven@w3c.social

Where do you stand on lockdowns? (Were the lockdowns necessary or too strong?)

I don't get the feeling that https://nostr.directory/ is working.

I posted my public key twice on Twitter at https://twitter.com/bblfish and my twitter handle on my nostr account...

#sex matters with Helen Joyce

Helen PhD in geometric measure theory, worked in academia before switching to working for The Economist as education correspondent for its Britain section in 2005 and has since held several senior positions, including finance editor and international editor. A previous interview with Jordan Peterson was removed by #Youtube a year after it was put up. So this is the follow up. #trans
