Lucas Werkmeistergood morning
current status: traveling towards other nerds at velocities in excess of 250 km/h
btw, earlier there was an announcement that a group of chess players is on the train (one of whom was speaking, evidently), either on the way to or from some tournament (I forget the details), and anyone is welcome to come visit carriage 7 for a match :D
(I feel like this has happened before – it might well be an annual tournament, and I would've taken basically the same train on the same day up north in some previous years. but apparently I didn't post about it last time)
okay, I think they must be en route to this tournament: https://www.deutsche-schachjugend.de/termine/2025/dvm-u20w/ (i.e., youth championships for female participants up to 20 years old)
the date matches, the location matches the direction of this train (northwards), and it matches what I seem to remember from the announcement ^^

“oh holy shit”
good night #39c3 
good morning #39c3!
I didn’t even have time to announce my talks on here 😭 I only got the slides ready+translated+uploaded at the last minute 😅
but anyway!
hier sind die Folien für meine Wikidata-Einführung, die um 14:45 im Free Knowledge Habitat statfand: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Free_Knowledge_Habitat_39c3_(2025)_-_Wikidata_Introduction_DE.pdf
here are the slides for the Wikidata introduction I did at 3:15pm in the Free Knowledge Habitat: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Free_Knowledge_Habitat_39c3_(2025)_-_Wikidata_Introduction_EN.pdf
if you want to know more about Wikidata, Andrew McAllister and I are doing an Intro to SPARQL and Wikidata Query Service at 8:30pm today, also in the Free Knowledge Habitat: https://pretalx.wikimedia.de/39c3-2025/talk/RNWUH8/
Intro to SPARQL and Wikidata Query Service (EN) Free Knowledge Habitat 39c3
The WIkidata Query Service (WDQS) is one of the main services to get data from Wikidata. In this workshop we'll explore the SPARQL query language that allows us to access data as well as the WDQS UI, a helpful UI in which we can write and run queries. The goal is that you'll be able to write your own queries and explore Wikidata's data by the end of the session.
I have a DECT now btw, LUWE (5893) ^^
time from tooting my DECT number to receiving a call: approx. ten seconds
good night #39c3 
good morning #39c3!
I should try to get a bit more sleep tonight tho

I have the nail polish with me btw, if anyone else would like to have their nails painted 
heute Abend (20:00–21:00) im Free Knowledge Habitat: Wikidata Live Querying! wir denken uns gemeinsam interessante SPARQL-Anfragen für Wikidata aus ^^ (kommt zahlreich weil alleine werd ich nicht so viele Ideen haben 
) https://pretalx.wikimedia.de/39c3-2025/talk/VTELBK/
(I don't quite remember if doing this (only) in German was an intentional decision back whenever I added this to the CfP… would a lot of people be interested in an English version of Wikidata Live Querying at some later time, if we find space in the schedule? ^^)
I think the live querying workshop went fairly well
and I also ended up allocating the https://w.wiki/HELP short URL during it 😭 we probably could’ve used that for something more useful. oh well lol

if @DorkusShorkus was taller or more athletic, I wouldn’t have had to crane my back+neck down so much in order to talk into the microphone while typing 😤
some queries from the live querying session:
• Swahili verb lexemes, with English sense glosses if available: https://w.wiki/HEKo
• translations of a certain word based on lexemes: https://w.wiki/HEKx
• statements of the Swahili item: https://w.wiki/HELP
mindestens einen Nobelpreis für die Person die sich das Akronym „Mehrere Orte im Norden“ ausgedacht hat btw

I forgot to announce my session in advance again 😅 but enough people were still interested in the WDQS introduction in German!

k4m1@LucasWerkmeister nightieees
@LucasWerkmeister "manual production database edits go brrrr" time?
@taavi cool URIs don't change 
(also most sensible targets probably have a short code already?)
@LucasWerkmeister but is it really a cool URL if the target is not cool?
@taavi yes, by definition! :P
