Happy Web Freedom Day to those who celebrate (i.e. everyone who uses the fediverse):
“Just over a week after Mosaic 1.0 was released, CERN gifted the Web to the world as open source software. As of 30 April 1993, the still relatively new Internet communications platform was suddenly free for anyone to use, with no strings attached.” https://cybercultural.com/p/1993-mosaic-launches-and-the-web-is-set-free/
got some decent (though pricey) Spaghetti Carbonara from the train restaurant at least

Shifting baseline syndrome ( #SBS ) is what happens when we forget how vibrant the natural world used to be. Each generation grows up with a more depleted environment and calls it “normal,” simply because it’s all they’ve ever known.
Researchers warn that this shift lowers our expectations, increases our tolerance for decline, and reduces our urgency to protect what’s left.
any other #wmhack people on EC 21? :blobfox3c:
@evan It might even be the same and I just failed to express myself correctly!
I‘m thinking about an Activity Streams vocabulary where you can use Wikidata IDs to describe things. E.g. clarifying that you talk about Berlin in Germany (https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q64), not the one in Connecticut, USA (https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q821199).
Or use it to specify authors, composers etc.
