Wonder long term if this will reduce food waste as it only gets picked when it is going into the consumer's hands. — https://www.dallasnews.com/life/farm-to-table/2018/04/24/mckinney-farm-giving-markets-go-100-percent-pick-produce

@mhall119 while you should use what is available, remember you can also extend fields in ActivityPub with JSON-LD.

@mhall119 it probably is, but I think it could be a point where the federation could get really interesting.

Would be a way to say "Who is a good boy?" has been presented at these conferences, and basically having it be on those conferences' GetTogether instance shows that it really was.

It effectively becomes my "speaking resume" that can be verified by other parties.

@katwylder turn based mech combat.

But I'll probably get drawn in to all the managing a mercenary team stuff.

@mhall119 would be cool if on the other side of things you could use it to publish a conference schedule.

It seems like that's where you're going. At some level a conference is just a series of events. The schedule though multiplexes rooms and times in a different way.

@katwylder I'm excited about it too, but sadly they pushed back the Linux version so I can't play it. 😢 Hopefully soon.

Using neural net training sets to fight other neural net training sets which came from.... this is gonna get worse before it gets better. Finally it seems we're starting to see the end of statistical learning's usefulness. — http://rss.slashdot.org/~r/Slashdot/slashdot/~3/HGH4rp2oemI/algorithm-automatically-spots-face-swaps-in-videos

Feels off-key for any article talking about buying consumer devices to not cover the privacy aspects. — https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/24/smarter-living/3-gadgets-you-didnt-know-you-needed-roku-echo-alexa-tile.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

@lufthans sounds good, but unfortunately in my old age I've become lactose intolerant. Really is a bummer.

as far as I've been able to tell, Telegram never caved, they just lost their appeal. That legally obligated them to turn over encryption keys, but they never actually did.

Wonderful to see a GIMP tutorial show up on a mainstream photography site. — https://www.dpreview.com/videos/6896182458/video-professional-photo-editing-with-gimp-on-linux

Using a desert island to look at the practical results of liberty, and even a bit of communism. — http://existentialcomics.com/comic/234

@danrabbit I've been doing some genealogical research into my family and been surprised how the maternal side of the family tree gets hidden by that naming convention.

A problem that you may find interesting is how to express a large family tree which includes maternal families. It gets out of control wicked fast. Haven't found a good way to express it in a meaningful way.

@n8 you could just link your entire .local and .config directories into Nextcloud and live on the edge!

$ mv .local Nextcloud/local
$ ln -s Nextcloud/local .local

As long as you always logout, there should be no issue...

@n8 also, I'm looking at Joplin for notes. Haven't converted over yet, but seriously considering it for the sync.

Not to stereotype Mondays, but I spent 5 minutes debugging why my coffee maker wasn't working before realizing I forgot to add water.

Happy Monday everyone!

@n8 the hard part there isn't mapping file locations, it is supporting conflict resolution.

Even something like Nextcloud it puts a specially named file in the directory to show there was a conflict and an application would have to detect that. Then perhaps solve it or present the issue to the user.

This is all hard to do generically without app support because you really need to have knowledge of the file format.

@n8 a bit of a hack, but you can adjust the XDG locations with environment variables if you really want to move things around.
