@jens
Now I feel like a nerd 🤓
@RyunoKi Well, I don't want to disappoint you, but...
@RyunoKi ... you're a fellow nerd.
@jens
Close enough
@jens I have used it extensively, and am a big fan.
@grumpysmiffy Extensively, no, but of course I have.
@jens The pair of big switches in our IE DC.
@leeb That makes *a lot* of sense.
@jens new music genre where gabber/hardstyle is intertwined with irish folk
@ruffni YT has some videos of Irish dancing to gabber, I think that's already been done, basically.
@jens I know the right answer but am not voting for it because I want the first one to be true!
@tfb I know, right? 
@jens
I know it's a basic schema for library-cataloging object metadata. Some of the fields are frustratingly vague and hard to map.
Confusion between 'creator' and. 'source'. And there's a field for 'copyright', but not 'license', IIRC.
And Inkscape supports embedding DC in your SVG documents.
@TerryHancock Oh, aye, people do complain about it. Then again, it's something of a lowest common denominator, and that's pretty essential when exchanging data between highly different systems.
@jens I thought that was pretty cool, too!
@jens "Of course." Yes. It's not a completely meaningless, communication-free name whatsoever.
<_< >_>
@zdl Well, interestingly enough, the set of Core properties was decided upon in Dublin, Ohio.
See what I did there?
@jens A name that makes sense only after you know the history of it is a bad name.
I also hate names in the maths for the same reason: naming things after their discoverer communicates nothing about what it is, which is doubly bad when the same discoverer discovers multiple, disparate things and gets their name attached.
@zdl I will now refer to this as the Dianli Principle (of bad naming).
@jens I hate you so much right now!
Of course they're properties for describing resources, but I love how many votes the music option got.
