When a JSON-LD enabled Activity Streams 2.0 implementation encounters a JSON document identified using the "application/activity+json" MIME media type, and that document does not contain a @context property whose value includes a reference to the normative Activity Streams 2.0 JSON-LD @context definition, the implementation MUST assume that the normative @context definition still applies.

展覧会のキュレーションの手法として、ある作家を制作時期に沿って配列していって、読解可能な物語が成立していることがしばしばあるけど、それは当然無垢に配列していったらそうなるということではぜんぜんなく、未来から先取りして物語として再構成しているからそうなる。書いてしまえば言うまでもないことだけど、この物語化のなかでかなりの情報が捨てられることになり、かつ編年体的構成によって真実性のようなものが増す。物語性のある編年体構成は、自身の取捨選択という手口そのものを隠し、そこから「何が捨てられたか」を忘れさせてしまう。

What I'm listening to today: "CZ-3000.mpeg", Grégoire Blanc

For a period in the 80s Casio produced a high-end "CZ" line, which used a unique synthesis method called "phase distortion"; it's like FM, but way cooler.

Grégoire Blanc is a professional concert thereminist. The video desc explains he found his old CZ-3000 in the attic and the wave of memories inspired him to compose this.

This is… beautiful, actually, and deeply enigmatic. What is the emotion of this piece?

#Sciop hit a Petabyte (actually a Pebibyte but nobody knows that word) of total proven capacity a week or two ago. That's all the seeders * the size of the things they are seeding. All volunteers, zero dollars in funding, piggybacking off existing resources wherever we can, run on a donated VPS. This is before we even get into federating archives and are still nailing down the basics of the site.

Peer to peer archives are real and they work, period. 216TiB of threatened cultural, climate, queer, and historical information held in common. That's a people powered archive, and you're welcome in it - to take from, to add to, and help sustain if you can.

Edit: if this is the first you're hearing of sciop, it's at https://sciop.net

@skinnylatteAdrianna Tan look at this! My kid’s about this age and now I’m tempted to do it too https://www.reddit.com/r/foodbutforbabies/comments/1n8hbmg/ive_been_turning_my_toddlers_lunches_into_taste

We at Flixtrain are thinking to introduce a new system of classes in our trains. Following classes we are thinking of:

• Human Class – Accommodates the needs of People comfortable chairs
• Cat Class – Features attachment point for leashes and some space for transport cages
• Robot Class – Huge airflow for adequate cooling and charging ports
• Tungsten Cube Class – 6 Axle car for maximum sizes of cubes

We just don't know for which class we are going to continue to use our existing rollingstock.
