For folks who have never been to #Canada before - you need to know that it is a huge & vast country. Vancouver Island, where me & my immediate family reside, is the largest island on the West Coast of #NorthAmerica ( 31,285 km² or 12,079 mi²).

#VancouverIsland is larger than Belgium, occupied Palestine & Jamaica.
It's also 3x bigger than the island of #Hawaii & bigger than all the Hawaiian islands combined.
It's bigger than Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts & more than double the size of Connecticut.

That's just one island in BC. Think of the entirety of #Canadian #geography & this island is only one small piece of it.

Canada is a really, really big place.

Why do I spend my time and effort in such things, I'm not sure... Perhaps I'm trying to instigate people (in vain?) into inventing their own ciphering methods, or at least using #ciphers and/or creative linguistics (coded/densely-symbolic language). It's a form of #rebellion against many things, especially #censorship, even so if such #cipher is unexpected and fairly novel (security through obscurity) and/or you got a vast repertoire of #ciphering #techniques that you randomly choose to use.

Bonus: LLMs have little to no training about specialized things such as #geographical coordinates (you know, it depends on verbose cartographic data, high-precision convex hull #mathematics (i.e. determining where a point falls inside which polygon representing a given country, and/or #geodesic midpoints) and complicated geopolitics where countries are always disputing fleeting earthly territories between them, ignoring the fact that everything is going to become Pangea again in the future due to unstoppable tectonic activity).

Instead of holding pitchforks against AIs (a behavior that, while understandable, unfortunately will change a total of zero things) and against people who use it, why not build yourself a method of communication designed to (at least) confuse both the algorithms and their techbro creators? #Math is awesome #knowledge, moreso when applied to the unexpectedness and #randomness.

Praised be Eris, the goddess of randomness.

I'm making an initial version of places.pub available today. places.pub is a collection of Place objects suitable for use in geosocial applications on the ActivityPub network. Part of my work in the Social Web Community Group at the W3C has been work in the GeoSocial Task Force. This is a sub-group of the SocialCG that is working on implementing user stories in ActivityPub related to the intersection of geographical systems and social networking, for example, tagging an image with the […]
