I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Mastodon, is in fact, Fediverse/Mastodon, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Fediverse plus Mastodon. Mastodon is not a social network unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning federated universe made useful by ActivityPub servers, fibre optic cables and vital moderation components comprising a full social network as defined by pedants.

I want a phrase like "brb afk" but for when I want to tune out for a bit in meatspace.

Computers have been beating the best human Go players since 2016. The Go world champion retired in part because AI is “an entity that cannot be defeated.”

But a human just trounced one of the world’s best Go AIs 14 games to 1: arstechnica.com/information-te

I think this news story is more interesting than it might first appear (without knowing details, so grain of salt). It isn’t just a gaming curiosity; it points to a fundamental flaw with “deep learning” approaches in general.

It'd be cool if there was a bridge between the and email such that you could mix mailing lists with fedi conversations and bridge the two worlds.

Really wish human an civil rights weren't such a controvercial topic.

Like, it boggles my mind that improving people's quality of life isn't everyone's priority.

Like, not even actively but at least part of people's moral framework.

Wearing my ball python like a scarf and giving it a tour of the smells in my home. Feels fun following its gaze to lead it towards stuff it finds interesting.

I ended up getting NieR Replicant since I found the previous game pretty fun even though I couldn't get past the last bullet hell level. 😅

@knhy I think I've played it on pretty much every console I own. 😨

@knhy Oh god. Honestly I wouldn't put it past me to buy Skyrim for like the 5th time. 😭

TBH tho the ps5 version doesn't even look much prettier than the ps5 version.

I've gotten to the point where I think we'd be better off in almost every way, very much including actually useful tech innovation, if we had very strict data collection/privacy laws and simply banned targeted advertising. I think freedom and democracy require a robust right to privacy and that we have really imperiled ourselves by treating its systemic for-profit violation as some kind of unobjectionable, neutral manifestation of free enterprise.

Anyone have recommendations for cool ?

I'm mostly into exploration and open world type RPGs. Particularly the fallout/cyberpunk/outer worlds flavor .

@robryk I think Client-server might be a good start. I'm thinking a web extension yhat lets you register apps to redirect to would be a good start. Maybe you'd also need auth tokens or cookies sent to the app as part of that?

I think the main limiting factor would be the lack of search in RDF, so if endpoints provided Triple Pattern Fragments endpoints it'd get us the most bang for our buck.

@bojan Yeah! I'm really excited by the prospect of having this stuff integrated in to @agregore somehow.

I think an API along the lines of Navigator.reigsetProtocolHandler but for content types and or RDF schema types would be very doable here.

@kidehen @openlink @datasniff What sort of functionality does it bring that one doesn't get from the default fediverse page?

Is it just showing the structure of the semantic data so you can navigate it in the extension instead of the app?

@mauve This would be a big accessibility and customizability win.

Also having some selection of domain-specific clients (aside from a generic browser) makes it easy to create content while leaving styling and navigation to the user. I would love to one day switch browser tabs without getting blinded by a light theme.

Though I never made the connection between this idea and semantic web. Semantic web for me triggers ideas of "knowledge graphs everywhere! Zettelkasten kugelschreiber!!"

Excited to hear from @mauve on their holistic approach to local-first software at the next @dweb meet-up this Tuesday 5pm PT

@quinn@octodon.social Yeah, the aesthetics and academic/corpo culture around RDF makes it pretty hard to be excited. :P

I think it can be made palatable with a few rad people making something obviously useful with it.

I think I've finally seen the light of the .

I think web browsers should give users a way to register apps to handle displaying certain schema types.

E.g. if I open an ActivityStream URL, the browser should load my preferred client in the same way that clicking a PDF in my filesystem will open up my PDF viewer.

Users would then be able to bring their own interfaces to data instead of relying on some closed source proprietary app interface.

Also opens the door to mixing data
