[00:50:25] addshore: Install VS community [00:50:31] https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/debug-test-perf/test-with-the-emulator [00:50:35] Then you should be able to do so fine [00:51:05] ooooh [01:03:27] Is there any collaborative website in existence for comparing product data (cars, smartphones, egg boilers...)? [01:12:19] As in: A table, filterable, sortable, meant as an open data alternative search engine to Amazon, Google Shopping etc.. Editable values, editable list of products, editable list of attributes. Every submitted value is verified by other users. A constant-growing public database actually meant to serve us, not any specific company. I simply cannot find anything *even remotely close* to this and it drives me insane every day. Wikidata i [01:12:35] so maybe someone can help me out with recommendations? :P [08:18:56] Your message got cut at "Wikidata i" [08:19:56] The answer to your question is obviously no an universal open catalog doesn't exist [08:20:30] There is no monetary incentive to building one [08:20:59] And you won't get the rights from retailers to expose and compare their data for free [08:21:06] So it's not going to happen [08:21:37] phil2 ^ [08:22:10] Ah he left, what a great idea [08:41:58] it could be done. build a browser extension that's like a ad blocker, but instead of blocking ads, it parses known webstore pages for info and submits those [16:14:40] hello i got hurt on my job 5/12/2017 i work for best choice home care i have been told that i can go back to work and i have been calling them getting the run aroundim asking for help to go back to work.thank you [16:16:27] I wrote a simple query to get all countries and thier ISO code, but some countries e.g. USA or Germany are missing and I can't figure out why. http://tinyurl.com/yaewhtxr [16:22:06] because germany (Q183) has a preferred statement of instance-of sovereign state [16:22:36] whereas instance-of country is only normal rank, so not included in the simple statements representation [16:23:12] http://tinyurl.com/yagontxr this works [16:28:23] theDon: Thanks you! That was quite counter intuitive. [16:33:39] :) [18:15:48] LotR: that would be illegal [18:15:58] and soon closed down [19:51:23] rom1504: why would that be illegal? retailers can go into their competitor's store to look what their prices are, how would this be different? [21:20:09] rom1504 so you think something like geizhals.de is illegal? (: [21:22:05] phil2: there are only closed source sites, i.e. https://www.displayspecifications.com/ for displays [21:54:45] rom1504: no worries, I read everything, I log in by webchat. - Yes precisely, nothing illegal here, only an anthology of already existing data for (e.g.) electronical devices [21:55:46] Yes, only commercial/closed source ones, I fear too. I honestly believe this is outrageous and am highly motivated to pursue a solution for this [21:55:52] will come back in a few months :p [23:03:42] hi. is an open-source software project that has existed for several years considered notable enough for wikidata? [23:04:09] If it's described by trustable sources, I guess? [23:08:09] +1 [23:08:17] https://twitter.com/MagnusManske/status/1083806007946559488 :S [23:08:34] I guess this means third-party sources? ^^ [23:10:12] Its own sources could be fine anyway if there are no controversial statements [23:10:40] okay [23:13:46] thanks for the help :) [23:14:24] To you for editing; what's that mysterious software? :) [23:17:03] a racing mod of teeworlds, an open source game. https://github.com/ddnet/ddnet. it's packaged in some linux distros, and is in the user repositories in others [23:18:32] Cool :) [23:19:49] *a cooperative racing mod [23:21:38] Should we try it to evaluate if it's relevant enough for a Wikidata Item? O:) [23:22:24] feel free. I'd be disappointed if no :P but go ahead :) [23:23:44] (It's relevant enough, I just want to play, but shhh) :) [23:27:31] so, how do you evaluate it? [23:30:55] LotR: SothoTalKer_ phil2 honestly I don't know the precise laws against it, but I don't think you can collect and distribute a dataset of copyrighted product images [23:31:04] to begin with [23:31:29] sjoerddebruin: Do you want to join? [23:31:47] jmmm? [23:32:10] I'd be glad to be wrong though [23:32:33] To try the game [23:32:55] not sure if I can compile after some beers [23:33:29] You don't have to compile, you have the binaries :) [23:35:09] it's not exactly beginner-friendly :/ [23:45:12] It's nice because you can discover more complex things by testing, but you can start with the basics, I guess [23:45:36] It should have an Item :P
