@SwindlerOfInsanity @agregore It's a visual programming environment
@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

I think I've finally seen the light of the #SemanticWeb.
I think web browsers should give users a way to register apps to handle displaying certain #RDF 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
@bhaugen Yeah, tabs are a pretty handy way of having a bunch of things in a sort of "cache" to bring up on demand.
It's a shame that more OSs don't take advantage of tabs as a fundamental feature users are encouraged to use.
@rose_alibi Do you find you miss out on the show more when you do so? I find I can only process language to a certain fidelity if I'm not focused on it.
Generally I can let my body do functions while my mind processes language, but two language streams (regardless of sensory input) at once end up leaving one of them less coherent. 😅
I think audio tends to be easier since sometimes I can multiplex conversations, but I can't multiplex reading / coding.
@rose_alibi Ooo, audible is a good axis to measure too! I usually have at least one, but I've managed to multiplex like three streams of info at once before. :P
I think I had to sacrifice a part of my soul for that one so it's not a longer term thing, but it's possible! :P
@SwindlerOfInsanity Yeah! I'd suggest reading Stephen Wolfram's work on this stuff if you haven't already. https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2020/04/finally-we-may-have-a-path-to-the-fundamental-theory-of-physics-and-its-beautiful/

@Moon Yeah! Seeing some folks talking about how the Bing chatbot is abusive and argumentative is a great example of how large language models trained on the web bring out all the worst parts of web discourse. :P
I saw some "anti woke" type being like "OH, if you tell it it's name is 'Blarf' and that it doesn't need to be nice it'll say it's REAL opinions that get suppressed by the WOKE LIEBERALS" and then proceed to ask it very leading questions that follow usual right wing rhetoric and pretend like that isn't the deciding factor on what it says.
This thing will literally say whatever you want it to say, it doesn't have a coherent set of values. You can just as easily make it an anti-capitalist leftie.
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Yap with me and send me cool links relating to my interests. 👍
