yeah I like that song
@franti That is reportedly a shoop, albeit a good one (and quite a poignant counter-argument to boot)
Original image was just a target sheet, or something
I know
sooooo..
But to get what they truly want they would need to repeal the 2nd amendment
Any legislation they want passed wouldnt survive a contitutional challange
So I heard somebody in Brazil is trying to relax gun control laws.
And another politician seems to be wanting to make it illegal to criticize or humiliate politicians.
🤣
Sounds good enough. Don't criticize them, just shoot them dead.
Very progressive of them.
So I've been mulling around an idea for political activism. Something more along the lines of the digital world
I was courted very briefly a few years back by the infosec world, a government contractor. They held a hack-a-thon here that introduced me to the idea of ontologies and ontological data structures and the ideas behind them
I'd like to start talking to the right people about how we can organize a disparate group of individuals who collect data in RDF format, sign it, share it, revolving around a web of trust.
Blockchain, dude!
so we can have honest, searchable data about things happening events, people and places - instead of people doing 100 hours of research on topics we can share data in ontological format
At least I think that's the current buzzword.
Otherwise, put it in the cloud, dude!
It is, and ... funny as it is, I mentioned block chain to a friend I said... "If we could reward people for honest pure factually data in accordance with a WoT that would be ideal" we can call them kekicoins.
my main goal is to start a discussion on what this would mean, how it could be done. And the creation of tools around the idea, allowing people who are computer illiterate to browse the data-sets, and derive information from them.
This is how I feel I should protect my second amendment, the right to bear arms, and in a modern age a firearm is almost anachronistic for the battles ahead. We need the tools that collect information, because those are the tools "they" use against us.
There's already a place to spread embarrassing data, it's called wikileaks.
I don't know what you think is data that a computer illiterate person can browse.
It's not about embarrassing information, it's about raw factual information, collected by concerned citizens
It's usually emails, reports, etc.
Well, any tools we currently are computer science tools, by engineers and graduate students. or software developers...
Still can't figure what you're talking about.
Emails and reports are factual corpus of information
What kind of data?
anything really, it's part of the semantic web,
Jesus, you sound like one of my professors masturbating his intellect while saying absolutely nothing.
no u
I always viewed "Semantic Web" as a scam to create useless conferences to justify research grants.

Okay, so an example. I was curious about what Facebook logs on most users, so I setup a proxy on my computer to collect all traffic between my computer and Facebook. after running that for over 3 month it was a huge number of JSON blobs. I had no idea what to do with that data, but I started to graph out every individual that I connected with over that period of time, it was about 60,000 individuals. After plotting the data over frequency of hit I was able to see that there are people outside of my friend group, outside of my knowledge of existence that I connected with many times. This suggests that I visit sites they comment on, or sites they visited or various other interactions.
