I mostly hate talking about stuff before it's done, because I hate to promise vaporware. But it's lonely working in too much of a vacuum, so here: have a peek at what I've been doing, especially if the words "Linked Data" give you a happy little shiver: peeja.com/what-i-ve-been-wor…

looking for a way to define a type system for #JSON and tired of waiting for #JSONschema to become stable? have a look at "JSON Type Definition (JTD)" tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8927 by @ulysseca and see whether it fits the bill. #API #design

Latest video from our May event in Utrecht (The Power of Live Linked Data to Transform): really interesting talk, with discussion, from Jos vd Oever of @NLnetFDN, on his use case for Live Linked Data: a document management system for political groups. youtu.be/yxZB-jHsTnM

Our first public event - The Power of Live Linked Data to Transform - took place in Utrecht, Netherlands, on 18th May 2022! We recorded the sessions, and are posting them in our YouTube channel as we complete the edits to tidy them up. Check them out at youtube.com/watch?v=RVJbq9Au…

A superb insight into how human-created dogmatic systems can become wholly inhuman, with the complicity of the humans involved. States, corporations... and now, algorithms. 👀@smdiehl
Captain Farid Chitav and 11 his subordinates from Russian National Guard (Росгвардия) refused to go to Ukraine. Their regiment from Krasnodar was ordered to Ukraine and they objected. They said that they don't have a foreign passport and thus can't cross Russian border legally

When I speak about inefficiency, that we are hurtling towards a "web3" so centralized it challenges big tech's grasp on today's web, that no one has found a truly good use for blockchains, I often hear "it's early days". "It's not still the early days" blog.mollywhite.net/its-not-…

Block chains won’t bring us the *really* interesting next web. CRDTs will. Much less sexy, since they don’t involve money. Much less momentum and ecosystem around them. Most applications are in toy stages. I’ve been working with them for 2.5y now and couldn’t be more bullish.

My main concern with the idea of no more mask-wearing is having a poker-face like a thought-tannoy, and thus no longer being able to hide my ‘WTF are you doing, you moron?? 🙄’ expression.

A beautiful vision of the "end of apps" from @pchiusano: pchiusano.github.io/2013-05-… That was 8 years ago, and Unison looks very cool...
A big hello to my new followers via @mynameis_davis and @IndieHackers. I'm making a software component for live information sharing, @m_ld_io. Looking forward to getting to know you and your projects!
