Dear Microsoft. Here is a list of things I want the Start Menu to do:

* Show my installed programs
* Search my local files
* Provide access to system settings

Here is a list of things I do *not* want the Start Menu to do:

* Show the weather for a randomly-selected town near my network's public IP infrastructure
* Show tabloid headlines
* Show programs I *don't* have installed
* Search the web via Bing
* Show adverts(!)
* Attempt to engage me in conversation with a hallucinating LLM

Thanks.

No one should say that a chatbot "hallucinates". Chatbots do not have minds, they manipulate text. Hallucination requires not only consciousness but the physical brain to falsely perceive a sensation as real. Machine learning models have neither consciousness or physical form, and they never will.

Dear Mastodon, #IIIF and #LinkedArt enthusiasts or newcomers (please boost!),

Are you involved or have you already been in contact with the @IIIF and/or the Linked Art communities?

As part of my PhD in #digitalhumanities, I am launching an online survey to find out the main practices and activities of the individuals involved in the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) as well as the Linked Art communities.

It would be fantastic if you could help me and take 10 to 20 minutes of your time. 😃

🔗 Characterising the IIIF and Linked Art communities: https://forms.gle/Djvuf7HrrFqxXFxd8 - please fill in the survey by Sunday 7 May.

Characterising the IIIF and Linked Art communities

With this survey, I would like to find out the main (perhaps sometimes hidden) practices and activities of the individuals involved in the IIIF as well as the Linked Art communities. You can complete it if you have been in contact with either or both communities. You can even complete the survey if you know of IIIF or Linked Art but haven't yet been involved. Help me by completing it, it's for my PhD. --- This is a survey on the socio-technical characteristics of the International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF) and Linked Art, two community-driven initiatives that are prevalent within the cultural heritage domain. The aim is to examine the practices among both communities and to understand the roles and relationships of key actors, groups and apparatuses required to develop standards and underlying compliant-resources. This survey should take between 10 and 20 minutes, is anonymous and email addresses will only be recorded if you wish to be contacted again for a follow-up discussion. Please fill in the survey by Sunday 7 May. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments. Many thanks for your time and consideration Julien A. Raemy --- This survey is conducted as part of my PhD in Digital Humanities at the University of Basel (2021-2025) where I investigate the semantics and interoperability dimensions of standards such as the IIIF APIs, Linked Art and the Web Annotation Data Model.

Battle for Libraries

Don’t let libraries die. As the future goes digital, major publishers are suing to cut off libraries’ defense of digital books from censorship. It’s time to fight back.

Fight for the Future
Long shot #BookHistodon crowdsource request! Is anybody familiar with the ornaments on these cards? They’re from a 19th century American publisher, very likely a game maker. Any leads are appreciated!
The Human Imperative by @PaulNemitz covers a wide range of topics and some will be indeed addressed in our Data Protection, Privacy and Responsible AI for a Digital Society #Lotico event tomorrow. But it's not a book about technology it's a political one that can be read as an invitation to act http://www.lotico.com

This week I will do a “one post per day of something I'm excited about” hashtagged #knowledgegraphs.

Today it’s RDF+Surfaces! Initially coined by Pat Hayes but now implemented and primed by @hochstenbach and Jos De Roo (who maintains the EYE reasoner in Prolog).

This has the potential to fundamentally define data “policies”. Whether it's about access control, inferences, retention policies, etc. Surfaces can do it all

Spec: https://josd.github.io/surface/
Exciting demos: https://github.com/phochste/Notation3-By-Example/tree/main/log/blogic
