If you’re doing a lot of reporting I highly recommend getting familiar with Quarto. It’s incredibly flexible for writing ad hoc reports, automated reporting, dashboards, presentations, etc. You can use python, R, observable, or Julia.

I feel like this quote from the BBC article is the bigger story:

According to Israeli media, neither Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor the defence minister Yoav Gallant were aware of plans for a pause before they were announced. Mr Netanyahu’s office reportedly said the prime minister had told his military secretary that the plan was “unacceptable” after hearing about it on Sunday. He has also reportedly been told that there has been no change to the IDF’s policy and that the fighting in Rafah “continues as planned”. Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said the decision to pause fighting had been made by a “fool” who was “evil”.

@simplex@mastodon.social Can you help with this?

I don’t think so. In my SimpleX client there’s a list a available servers but there’s also an option to add custom servers.

This article explains how to host your own server if you don’t want to or can’t use one of the default servers.

They are not.

This is pretty interesting. This topic was discussed ad nauseum when it happened, there’s even a cross post that’s over a month old with 280 upvotes and 50 comments.

But on my feed post is showing as less than an hour old, and appears in at least 3 other communities for me.

Also the headline of the actual article is:

House passes bill to expand definition of antisemitism amid growing campus protests over Gaza war

Nowhere in the article does it mention making “Gaza genocide protests illegal”. I think misrepresenting the contents of the article and changing the headline could very well explain why the posts was removed from another community.

Man that sounds fun, I wish I was slappin baby seal right now.

I love that Lemmy is filled with articles about how the US adoption of EV isn’t fast enough and we need to adopt EVs faster like China has.

Two articles later its the US EV market that is driving the suffering of cobalt miners in the DRC and it’s the US’s problem to fix.

It’s a little worse than mismanagement:

Mao decreed that efforts to multiply grain yields and bring industry to the countryside should be increased. Local officials were fearful of Anti-Rightist Campaigns and they competed to fulfill or over-fulfill quotas which were based on Mao’s exaggerated claims, collecting non-existent “surpluses” and leaving farmers to starve to death. Higher officials did not dare to report the economic disaster which was being caused by these policies, and national officials, blaming bad weather for the decline in food output, took little or no action.

The government took what food there was from the farmers because they were trying to swing their dicks around and impress the boss. It’s like the Irish potato famine, but with rice.

That’s 100% true. That’s why I’d like the help from experts to help me avoid being scammed, help me avoid drinking and eating poisoned food, or having to breath unhealthy air.

I don’t always know the full repercussions from the decisions I make so I really appreciate having some expert help. This is especially true of decisions shitty people try to coerce me into making when I’m desperate or emotionally vulnerable.

I’m not sure what features you’re looking for, but Quarto has a lot of really nice features that make it really easy to self host a blog.

Do they say what the Illuminati want to terra form NZ in to? Or is just the threat of any kind of terra forming enough?

Fuckin a right it is. The neat part is whats been happening in Gaza has been unconscionable for the last 50ish years. Unfortunately it didn’t become trendy to talk about until it was a political liability for the American president.

I think the answer is no even if they own only a single copy (digital or physical) at a time.

This company copies home movies from VHS to DVD. The linked article implies that when you buy a product you’re only buying the format you purchased. So if you buy a physical book you’re only buying the rights to have the physical book, not a digital copy of the book.

I’ve almost entirely switched to using pak for managing my R packages. I’m not 100% sure what the magic is in pak, but it’s really made my life easier when installing packages.

I’m not sure if you’re using Quarto or not, but use it almost daily and frequently write R and Python in the same file without any noticeable overhead.

A wise person once told me don’t commit misdemeanors while you’re committing felonies.

The neat part is it’s not too much harder to create a bot farm full of socket puppet accounts that mimic real users that you can use to push propaganda on social media.

Should include “has duckplyr” which is bad ass in the few weeks I’ve been using it.
