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.

Crocodiles are one of the oldest living species on Earth, dating back to the Late Cretaceous period, about 94 million years ago. They are the closest living relatives of birds, and they have survived several mass extinctions that wiped out many other animals. Some branches though did not survive, such as the various vegetarian crocodiles discovered by scientists recently.

Here is a process I am using to link up with people I know on #Mastodon from #Nostr.

1. I followed my Mastodon #mostr clone account on #nostr.

2. I also followed the #nostr account on #mastodon

3. When I see some post I like on #Mastodon I retweet it (retoot?), and then I can usually see it from #nostr.

4. I then follow the #Mastodon account via their #mostr handle

5. and perhaps repost that Toot here on #nostr, so that they can get a bit of visibility here too.

So now I post things that are potentially controversial on #nostr and leave the politically correct stuff on #mastodon. (The smallest deviation from the norm there leads to a visit from the thought police).

Are you able to select the text in the image on this page?

I wrote this experiment back in 2014 and I'm keen to know how well it works on modern browsers.

(I know iOS does automatic text recognition, but this should work cross-platform.)

It works for me. But it could also be the iOS image text recognition capability

These computer companies are Legally obliged to create backdoors in all countries? Or only specific ones?

Intelligent and deep discussion starting from Ontario's Ruling on Jordan Peterson's need to undergo social media Training.

This is weird because he is one of the most popular social media figures and has given psychology a hugely positive reputation.

So, what is psychology?

I have been working on the #w3c Verifiable Credentials Data Model 2.0 by translating the #JsonLD to #N3.\nMy major suggestion is: any graph that is signed must be in a node, i.e. it must be a quoted graph - or else how would one know what was signed? This is what a #VC Presentation should look like: ?raw=true

Riley Gaines is close to reaching 5 million views on her Tweet, where she quietly eats her cereals.

I am jealous.

I have been using the AI-enhanced Warp Terminal written in #Rust

for 9 months now.

I like it: it is fast, looks good, and the #AI is very useful when I can’t remember what command to run. Of course, over time, I put together a list of HOWTOs for this, and I know my way around #Unix. But for newbies, it could be a huge timesaver. It is what I thought I would get when I first used a terminal in 1980.

(I thought I could ask the computer to solve the Rubik’s cube too).

But then I found that one had to read through man pages to learn to use a command.

It is also the first terminal I have encountered with a marketing team.

If you download it with this referral, I might get a T-shirt, which I could use on these hot summer days :-)

Oops, I think I meant that the hashtags in the post above are not clickable on the markdown post and that one should like with LinkedIn have a hashtag editor for such posts.

Thanks for pointing me to Habla.news also. It is nice to be able to compare two User Interfaces like that.

I need to install an Android emulator for my #macOS laptop to run #amethyst. If anyone has any pointers to the best one please let me know.

Can I wire a markdown post?

It seems so on #damus 1.6 nostr:note1x9y8kq4rpcwfkdlhefhnrnf76j5k9aa4lafrfmp4mxxh90mvmnaqt6rwdy

I think that is only Damus 1.6 that does it. Damus on my Phone is 1.5.

Mhh it looks like #Damus does not show that the above post was a comment I left on the #Markdown post written on #yakihonne nostr: nostr:naddr1qq25umn0f9ghwk29242rzw220p3x5um82agj6q3qm0wym3srryqtkt9uuev43arglv4083p9redzep85ayurv53xsmasxpqqqp65whgj4e4

Or perhaps the link is missing somehow?

I also noted that these markdown post is not appearing on #mostr, but perhaps because my instance does not support markdown yet - https://mathstodon.xyz does I think.

So somehow I tried to add to my #markdown post did not work. Does someone know how one should do that in the post? Or perhaps #yakihonne needs to add a tagging function at the end of the post the way LinkedIn does it.

Here are the tags I tried to use:

#scala #Mastodon #nostr #rdf #semweb #math #mathematicians #crypto
