what is the state of rel="me" support on @ORCID_Org profiles to make the #ORCID link show up green on #Mastodon?
in reply to Egon Willighagen

see tracking issue github.com/ORCID/ORCID-Source/… and my potential solution in github.com/ORCID/orcid-angular…

I'm not going to make a PR though, I don't get the feeling a contribution would be appreciated

in reply to Charles Tapley Hoyt

that issue has been open now for two years... this is the problem with using "advanced" platforms (angular in this case). Things that should be simple no longer are :(
in reply to Egon Willigh☮gen 🟥

@egonw agreed, there's no reason ORCID isn't just templated in the backend other than someone decided they wanted to use high tech new javascript.

i did a _lot_ of work to download/standardize ORCID in github.com/cthoyt/orcid_downlo…, maybe I can also demonstrate having a simple web app on top of this

in reply to Charles Tapley Hoyt

@cthoyt dunno. a simple web app on top of the data is trivial. I don't think this is the issue here. like you say, the organizations making the votes *want* a complex app, and since orcid.org is the authority, web apps not running on that domain are not adding helpful
in reply to Egon Willigh☮gen 🟥

@cthoyt of course, in their defense, maybe using HTML rel="me" is not the best way of doing this, and we should just solve this at a semantic web level in the first place
in reply to Egon Willigh☮gen 🟥

@cthoyt or maybe the #ORCID should just include a snippet of schema.org that #Mastodon could use for verification. This should not be that hard. life scientists are, after all, doing this routinely (ht @elixir_europe)

but I am very disappointed that important #openInfrastructure like #ORCID cannot be more reactive to things like this. rel="me" is a very useful community standard and it should have been able to come up with some solution to solve this

in reply to Charles Tapley Hoyt

@cthoyt about the PR, there is only one way to find out. and a PR can also just start further discussion.

How many global conflicts has she solved since she got that degree?
in reply to Subject6051

Probably not too many, but she seems to have landed a good job with this degree regardless.


Our new routine, walk around, so her business, make 10 fake pee stops, then find a cool place to rest and people watch for a while!

"The 2.6-gigawatt (GW) project is located 27 miles off the coast of #Virginia Beach and is the US’s largest offshore wind farm under construction.

When complete, CVOW will feature 176 turbines generating enough clean energy to power up to 660,000 homes. Dominion Energy expects the project to save customers $3 billion in fuel costs over the first decade of operation. Construction is on track and on budget, with a projected completion date in late 2026."

in reply to CelloMom On Cars

In the first decade of this #OffshoreWind park's operation, its 660,000 customers will save about $500 a year on their electricity bill compared to today. This is how life is #BetterWithoutFossilFuels

When' it's finished imma take a trip to Virginia Beach to take a look! I hope there will be boat tours.

If, right now, I could be granted one wish... it would be this:

When (if?) Trump loses the US Presidential election, he concedes magnanimously & offers Harris congratulations, before retiring to Mar Lago to play golf with his buddies....

[a wish prompted by the wide spread commentary in the press on what *will* happen when/if he loses]

As a parent of two #Neurodivergent kids the past three years of diagnosing & getting supports for our two is the equivalent cost to sending a kid to private school #Autistic #ADHD
