The video features a sequence of frames with a consistent theme of a person in a dimly lit, industrial-looking room, engaging in various activities that suggest a focus on creating or experimenting with a fictional world. The individual is seen wearing headphones and goggles, handling laboratory equipment such as beakers and flasks, and pouring liquids, indicating a scientific or experimental process. The setting includes shelves with various items, a table with scientific apparatus, and a computer monitor, enhancing the laboratory atmosphere. The person's actions are deliberate and focused, suggesting a deep engagement with the task at hand. The video is overlaid with a text that reads, "My mind constructing a perfect fictional world to filter my mediocre and depressing life," which conveys a sense of escapism and creativity. The overall tone of the video is introspective and somewhat melancholic, with a focus on the individual's imaginative and creative endeavors.

The image features a caricature of a man with exaggerated facial features, including large eyes and a disproportionately large head. He has brown, curly hair and a beard, and is wearing a black blazer over a green shirt. The man is holding a pair of scissors in his right hand and a cane in his left hand. The background is a simple gradient of light blue to white, suggesting a cloudy sky. Overlaid on the image is text that reads: "formula 1 fans when the car that goes fast goes faster than the car that goes slow:". The text is in white with a black outline, making it stand out against the background.

⚡️ Brick-Hartz: Since the cabinet approved plans to expand army operations in the #Gaza Strip, critical questions are automatically emerging about the catastrophic consequences expected:

1- Our living prisoners may die in the tunnels.

2- Many fighters will be killed, others will be seriously injured, and funerals will continue as we were in the past year and a half.

3- We will not defeat #Hamas, because the army is unable to resolve the battle.

4- With our failure, their heads will be raised more forcefully by both the #Houthis, the Turks, the #Syrians, #Hezbollah, and #Hamas, and we will find ourselves in a devastating displacement war.

5- We will lose our relations with most countries of the world, which will continue to accuse us of committing war crimes.

6- We will lose our economic capabilities. There will be no money to rehabilitate the army in light of growing threats.

7- In our weakness, we will lose President #Trump's interest in us as is already happening now, but he may stop aid for us.

8- Social deterioration inside #Israel will rise to a new level. All this is expected to happen because our leaders are not rational, they are separate from reality, and they are using the army as a tool to serve their interests.

Unfortunately, today's army is headed by a weak Chief of Staff, who does not have the courage to confront them with truth and explain to them the real and fragile situation of the army, which continues to collapse.

The current elevated extinction rate is based only on the species we know about, isn't that right?
in reply to Luddite Geek

No it is extrapolated from the ones we know about to estimate the overall value to include species we dont. Which is why its an estimate with a rather wide range of values.

Federated Geolocations?


The Social Web Foundation (@swf) recently launched places.pub, a service that ties OpenStreetMap location data into ActivityPub vocabulary. Maybe this could be used as a building block for a federated FourSquare, or event locations?

places.pub


socialwebfoundation.org/2025/0…


places.pub


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 participation in the GeoSocial Task Force. This is a sub-group of the SocialCG that focuses on implementing user stories in ActivityPub related to the intersection of geographical systems and social networking, for example, tagging an image with the place it represents, or checking in to a location.

One important need for geosocial software is that all objects in ActivityPub, including Place objects, need to have a permanent URL as their id property, which shares the description of that object in Activity Streams 2.0 format. However, there isn’t a good dataset of geographical objects — countries, states or provinces or regions, cities, buildings, businesses, parks, streets — available in AS2 on the Web right now. That is slowing down experimentation in the Geosocial Task Force.

Using the service


So, I worked on making places.pub for geosocial hackers to experiment with. It’s a service that exposes places from the amazing OpenStreetMap collection of data as AS2 objects on the Web. So, given an OpenStreetMap object like the Rogers Centre Ottawa, it provides an AS2 version suitable for use in geosocial activities in ActivityPub. It also has a rudimentary search mechanism, although I think most users will want to use the Nominatim service for searching the OpenStreetMap database, and then map the IDs onto places.pub.

Once you know the places.pub ID for a place, you can use it for geotagging objects, people, activities, or using special geosocial activity types like check in, check out, and travel. There is a good list of examples on the places.pub home page, but obviously this is not an exhaustive list!

How it is built


This wasn’t my first time trying to build places.pub; I’d done two earlier versions with different architectures and the same interface. The first time out, about 7 years ago, I created a full NodeJS server that used a full mirror of the OpenStreetMap database, so I didn’t need to hit the OSM API to fetch data. It worked pretty well, but it was really expensive — hundreds of dollars per month to keep a database server of that size running and synched.

I tried a second version a few months ago, which did batch generation of AS2 Place objects from the OpenStreetMap exports, and then uploaded them to the S3 service at Amazon Web Services. This was a whole lot cheaper, but it took a long time to download, convert, and re-upload the data.

This third implementation, with source code available on GitHub, is a little bit easier than both. Instead of sloshing the huge OSM dataset back and forth, I used the version of the data stored in the Google Cloud Public Datasets system on BigQuery. This let me ignore the effort of moving data, and just focus on giving it a good ActivityPub-compatible interface using a Google Cloud Run function. It seems to work pretty nicely.

Next steps


I’d love to see some experimentation with using places.pub for geosocial activity in the social web. I’m going to work on some implementations in my own ActivityPub software. If you find problems with the software, please add an issue on GitHub or let me know on the Fediverse at @evanprodromou.
