I can finally share the happy news: liiive.now – my tool for real-time collaborative annotation of #IIIF images – is going open source!
First code is online here:
https://github.com/rsimon/liiive
A full self-hosting setup will be available by the end of February.
Huge thanks to the University of Graz Department of Digital Humanities and the DHInfra.at initiative for their support!
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
There's a new version of the @IIIF -based Universal Viewer!
And it has release notes! https://github.com/UniversalViewer/universalviewer/releases/tag/v4.1.0
Okay, sex determination in humans.
This shit is COMPLICATED and this will probably be a longish thread. Sorry. But I've seen a lot of people claim that "biology says" that everyone is either male or female, full stop, and it's just not true. 1/22
