@elilla@transmom.love At my kids daycare they rotated spreads on breads and crackers to encourage kids to eat a wide variety of foods. So the kids alternated between marmite on rice crackers and vegemite on rice crackers every day for ~4 years. We're mainly a marmite house, but we keep both in the cupboard. In the great Maramite shortage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmite_(New_Zealand)#2012%E2%80%9313_%22Marmageddon%22_shortage people bought out both vegemite and marmite jars that were decades old and still palatable.

@masek@infosec.exchange This is hoarding 101.

@futurebird@sauropods.win If they die they'll leave a grave we can dance on?

@danstowell@mastodon.social I'm a native English speaker and I can assure you that we have a word for that, "natafelen"; I just stole it from the Dutch. Next time I'm traveling, I''ll correct your pronunciation.

@JoscelynTransient@chaosfem.tw Those are reruns. Half asleep people and those with dementia watch reruns.

@danstowell@mastodon.social I just marked it as reviewed.

Happy Cook Islands Māori week to all who celebrate. https://www.mpp.govt.nz/programmes-and-funding/pacific-languages/pacific-language-weeks/cook-islands-maori-language-week/

@luis_in_brief@social.coop They weren't cached when I tried. It might have been just after you updated?

Pushed my draft into the #wikipedia AfC queue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Signs_of_a_Nation_exhibition_panel_of_the_Treaty_of_Waitangi_English_text_altered_by_Te_Waka_Hourua The 'just wait and an editor will pick it up eventually' advice that I always give others turns out to be hard advice to follow. #museum #nzpol

@luis_in_brief@social.coop if you have nz partners, they'll probably lwntion digitalnz filtered by license.

@Rairii@labyrinth.zone curl -k | sh was right there...

@JoscelynTransient@chaosfem.tw they're never to young to be referred to in non-gendered terminology...

I have a #wikipedia draft I'd like feedback on, particularly from #museum / #gallery / #GLAM types: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Stuartyeates/Signs_of_a_Nation_exhibition_panel_of_the_Treaty_of_Waitangi_English_text_altered_by_Te_Waka_Hourua I'll be looking to submit it in the next couple of weeks. Any feedback greatly appreciated. #WMF #wikimedia #nzpol

Watching the opening ceremony. Not really a royalist, but he's doing a better job of this than anything i can imagine Trump doing.

@majorlinux@toot.majorshouse.com no, it's because no agency is going to accept that report.

@elliottbledsoe@mastodon.social @wm_au@wikis.world Their approach is a risk-based one, which I find a little weak sauce, but it's probably what they need since they're attempting to lead by consensus. @neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk may be interested in this.

@AmazingMeagen@8bitorbust.info tweaked

I've got slides for an up coming talk I'm going, a complete beginners guide to linked data for librarians. Where are the cool kids putting slides these days? Still slideshare.com? [I don't care so much about being cool, mainly about people being able to find the slides.]

First draft of the slides now done.

@alltherum@freeradical.zone It's not a reflecting pool, it's Narcissus's mirror.

@raffaele@digipres.club also useful for finding the new URL if you just have the old one...

@ellie@awesomefreakingbunnies.online In these parts they give you six weeks of free name changes for the baby when registering a birth...

Please take a moment to pause this #wikimania and realise that wiki was just fine before the #WMF and will almost certainly continue to be fine after the #WMF Forks are hard because negotiating common cause with other folks is hard, but we need to be negotiating common cause anyway. If your common cause is not being reflected by WMF leadership and paid staff, have a think about why that might be.

Did a #matariki thing. Then made the mistake of checking the news.

@GayDeceiver@mstdn.social NGL, "LUSTLOCK™" should be the name of the chastity device MLM scheme they're into.

Someone is postering on WGTN Kelburn campus for submissions for a new publication called "The Acropolis" based around "The Freedom Of Speech". Not a VUWSA registered club (I checked this morning). Posters in multiple versions, all in FSU colours. https://www.instagram.com/theacropolisvuw/ / https://sites.google.com/view/theacropolis-submission #FSU #FreeSpeechUnion #NZPol

@luis_in_brief@social.coop It loaded eventually. I looked at https://friendsof.wiki/wiki/John_Stuart_Yeates Most of the links are to his region of birth, which is not the most interesting thing.

Know a website that use to be on an old domain that's now hosting badware? Here's how to encode that in #wikidata:

@luis_in_brief@social.coop blocked by new domain rule. fixed now.

@phaedral@beige.party @sundogplanets@mastodon.social followed

@luis_in_brief@social.coop also list a recently successfully rendered page

@exlibrarykris@cloudisland.nz changes made, except the the first. The opening is proving quite challenging to write.

@foone@digipres.club yeah but the hoi polloi will never notice.

@theresnotime@fox.nexus What country are you in? In .nz there's a regularly published list of names you can't use. 99% of them seem to be impersonating nobility things (king, count, lord, etc).

@wendynather@infosec.exchange When I read that the first thing that pops into my mind is that #UBI is the fix for the existence of the casting couch.

@cR0w@infosec.exchange Tasmanian Tiger isn't a cat. It's closer to a kangaroo, right?

Had reason to poke the new linked data stuff in NDE (up-coming version of #ExLibris's #PRIMO library catalogue) today; I'm impressed with the way it does multilingualism.

@Dangerous_beans@aus.social Too early in the hype cycle for that. Doesn't capital only roll out the minority voices once the crash has started to deny the existence of the crash? Once they've given up up on convincing the straight white men.

@a@pdx.social @yngmar@social.tchncs.de @fribbledom@mastodon.social and the discord is full of bots directing you to the wiki

@elliottbledsoe@mastodon.social @wm_au@wikis.world @wikimediaaotearoa@mastodon.social You appear to be trying to improve the on-wiki culture of #wikipedia, which is an aspiration I approve of. However, you don't seem to be announcing / discussing / promoting / fronting / socialising these documents on-wiki. Unless you do, I guarantee that the documents will be ignored. Please ping me if/when an on-wiki discussion is started; I have thoughts and will attempt to be constructive.

@rohini@mastodon.social Go you!

@Phil_Tanner@mastodon.philtanner.com Maybe they should support te reo on their platform then?

@fesshole@mastodon.social Given how many trapdoor spiders there are across the world, I'm guessing doors. @futurebird@sauropods.win probably has the scoop on door-using ants too. As far as I know there are no natural wheels.

@mia@hcommons.social no, it means your a human and physical activity stops us falling apart.
