Good morning Fediverse.

URIs vs URLs is confusing. With Linked Data, you can also be confused about what is an API and what is data.

in reply to Helge

all names are references, it's just that some of them come with an implied protocol for dereferencing. "URN" vs "URL" vs "URI" discourse has set back a lot of people by making them think there's a difference, when there mostly isn't.

likewise, an "API" is just a set of names that can be used to do things. the simplest thing you can do is dereference those names and get some kind of representation as data.

in reply to Helge

it's not nihilistic, it's just functional mathematics. "a rose by any other name", etc. i haven't seen anyone define a compelling difference between these terms, and i don't think i will. this goes beyond computers.

I was rereading the URI RFC the other day and astounded but pleased to see it noted the m Names and Locations are not exclusive categories but that a URI can be both

As a concrete example, ni://example.com/sha-256;B_K97zTtFuOhug27fke4_Zgc4Myz4b_lZNgsQjy6fkc

i was more getting at how a location is also a name -- "that thing over there" binds to whatever is "over there", but it is still a name, a symbol, a reference, and so on.

the name "URI" was an attempt at getting away from the endless discourse going nowhere, by trying to get people to stop thinking of "location" as meaningful. indeed, you never arrive at a destination, you only ask for a name and get info back via an unknown number of intermediaries and name translation.

"URL" these days is just an attempt by WHATWG to respecify URIs for the sole purpose of web browsing

Ukrainian naval drones struck oil terminals in Tuapse and Novorossiysk, paralyzing operations at Transneft’s facility and the CPC terminal used to load tankers, including Russia’s shadow fleet, RBC-Ukraine reports.

A pier at Tuapse port was also hit. Russian return fire caused damage to civilian homes and cars, sparking panic in Novorossiysk, Tuapse and even Sochi, where beaches were evacuated.

There's a new #RaspberryPi out today, the Raspberry Pi 500+ - an upgraded wedge-style Raspberry Pi 500 which doubles the RAM, populated the M.2 slot and adds a bundled 256GB SSD, and includes an RGB-backlit mechanical keyboard.

My review's up now, if you're curious. (And if you're not curious, my review's still up now.)

I'm disappointed that the keycap legends shrank from the 400 to the 500 series, and the 500+ looks like tiny font too. Pity.
in reply to Jim Spath

@jspath55 On the plus side, the caps on the 500+ are replaceable with any Cherry MX-compatible caps of your choice - but I'll grant you that's adding more cost onto an already pretty 'spenny bit of kit.

“His audience was really Trump”: How new FBI lead used his Missouri AG role to wage a culture war twp.ai/E6Avjt


Why would you designate Antifa (= anti-fascist action) a terror organization if you’re not a fascist? Also Antifa is not really an organization, more like an ideology. So basically Trump can now claim that anybody who is expressing anti-fascist opinions is a terrorist. #Antifa #Trump

Zelensky told Axios he made one specific weapons request to Trump during their meeting, saying it could pressure Putin to the negotiating table. He didn’t reveal the system publicly but said Trump replied, “We will work on it.”

On politics, Zelensky said he is “ready” to step down after the war, making clear his goal is to end the conflict, not hold on to power. If a ceasefire is reached, he promised to ask parliament to organize elections.



‘Professional actor’ behind attacks that closed Danish airports, defence minister says.

Denmark was considering activating Nato’s article 4 for the first time in Danish history, but a decision had not yet been made. Denmark contacted Nato on Thursday morning, he said, adding: “In addition to article 4, there are other things that can be done through Nato."
