It takes a random object from Below the Surface (https://belowthesurface.amsterdam/en/vondsten) and toots it every 2 hours along with it's generated title and a link to it on the site.

There are 20,000 objects, so it'll take the bot about 4.67 years to run out of objects 😂

I suppose with the 700,000 item CSV there won't be photos, so I used their API to scrape JSON dumps of all of the objects on the site (20,000 of them). Because of limits, I had to do it in batches. I got 7 json files.

I should be able to use these to look up the images, so I'll write a scraper later to download all of those, then make a bot that toots out random ones until it's out of them.

Ooh and the site says they will put up a CSV of all the data eventually. That would help a lot so I wouldn't have to scrape.

I'm tempted to write a bot that toots out pictures from this collection of items found in Amsterdam's river.. Everything here is really interesting.

rt @PaulMMCooper Dutch engineers drained Amsterdam's River while building a metro, and they've put every object they found at the bottom online.

❤️ It's one of these posts, but I haven't said it yet. I super duper love mastodon. It's so friendly and active and every notification feels like it means something~ The admins are so nice, and everyone's so talented. It's an actual place to recharge and connect, and it doesn't leave me empty and overwhelmed. I really appreciate everyone here. ❤️ 🐘 ❤️

@ScottMortimer - Tired of being tracked. Tired of all my data points being stored forever. Tired of the contextualization, the matching of disparate data points together. Tired of the scale and the ubiquity of surveillance.

One thing I love about React/Redux development is having a single source of truth for application state.

But, from a decentralized web perspective, I *hate* how this pushes state out of the HTML. In my view, HTML should have all content, and state is (often) part of content; "view source" should mean something.

Would it be possible to invent an alternative paradigm that keeps all state in the HTML, maybe using data attributes? Or does that paradigm already exist?

I have previously dabbled with the idea of creating this game I came up with called The Void. It's an exploration/puzzle #pixelart game.

I am considering picking this project back up and working on it again. I didn't do much aside from initial idea planning and a couple of pixel art concepts.

I also don't know how to make games, but I was thinking of learning #godot to build it.
