Hey @OpenAlex, what is the meaning of the sustainable_development_goals_score in your data. Is there a documentation, where all entries from the data are explained?
As of today (Mar 13th, 2024) they will stop granting new API access keys. All pending applications will be rejected.
On March 27th, 2024 they will stop accepting POST data submissions to the API. All submissions will receive a 403 response and the submitted data will be discarded. Additionally, we will stop publishing new exports of cell data for download.
On April 10th, 2024 the cell data downloads will be deleted and will no longer be available.
On June 12th, 2024 third party API keys will be removed and the service will only be available for Mozilla’s use cases.
On July 31st, 2024 this source repo (https://github.com/mozilla/ichnaea) will be archived.
Here is a recommendation for the weekend. #libretranslateR
You can use this #rstats package to connect to #LibreTranslate API from R. Translation, automatic language detection … . As you can install your LibreTranslate instance, offline translation is available.
@egonw@joss@OpenAlex Nice find. #OpenAlex is really a great source. Will likely use their data for my review.
So far, I used #PubMed for collecting quantitative data about a research topic. That involved quite a lot of work in #rstats to get tidy data and a reliable parser. OpenAlex seems to have tidy data in tabular format out of the box. 💯

The only thing that comes to my mind are dependencies. Unmaintained packages are a high risk for users and maintainers of dependent packages. That's why I promote #rdatatable . @tyx
@tyx
It also happens with current packages. For example, it happens sometimes that changes on CRAN lead to package removals which pull others with them. I was affected by this. The maintainer just did not react fact enough (bunch of weeks).
Thank you all for answering my poll. Although not representative, I have calculated the final frequencies after removing the "see results" category. Further, I made the same poll on X, but admittedly the results are hard to compare given that my reach on Mastodon is only a fraction of my followers on X (nevertheless it is much easier on Mastodon to follow the hashtag #RStats which should make up for my low reach, then again, the R community is still much larger over there, so, hard to compare).
@TimTeaFan Any explaination for the different preferneces?
I know the sample is small. But maybe we can repeat this? Mabye next time additionally with the pipes and plot (ggplot vs. base ...)?
Ooooh... why did I say I'd use KDE for 2 weeks? Can I shorten that to one?
This is just adjustment pain talking, I know, but wow. I might love how #KDE looks, but actually working with it is not fun for me. Nothing works the way I expect it to.
But CO, don't you just mean "meh! nOt GnoMe! mE No LiKeY!"
I mean... yeah. That's what I mean. From the very first time I tried #Gnome 3 (like, ten or twelve years ago), everything about it has felt natural to me. The changes that have been made over the years leading up to Gnome 45 today have all more or less worked for me. The way it works just meshes with my brain somehow, and it's very comfortable to work in.
Plasma is none of that, and I don't know why I'm putting myself through this. Don't get me wrong: I adore the KDE project. It's a gorgeous, feature-packed, ultimately configurable #DesktopEnvironment. The problem for me personally is that I just don't need about 75% of those features, and the default setups don't function the way my brain does.
So in short, I might be cutting this experiment short, not because KDE is bad, but because Gnome feels like home.
Which is weird, because I hated Gnome 2, which I thought of as a more difficult to work with, less resource efficient version of #XFCE.
Oh, yeah, and #KaOS? It's fine. It's super-fine-tuned and dedicated to its mission of being a cutting edge KDE desktop. Which is great if that's what you want, but there's a fine line between dedication and obsession.
I prefer it to dealing with Arch, though, if I'm being honest - specifically because of that obsession. Everything official is tight, works together, and accomplishes the stated goal of the OS. Even the KCP repo is on board for the most part, and it all comes together. If someone did something like this for Gnome/GTK, it'd probably be my OS of choice.
@s20 I haven't dealt with KDE 6 yet. I'm just looking at the news and that sounds very intriguing to me.
Regarding distros, I have always been very true to something that has to do with Debian. I used #Kanotix, #sidux, #kubuntu, #debain, #mint and now more #mxlinux, #tuxedoos and #siduction.
I love to see this. Parallelised some #RStats code that was running very slowly. Now, when it gets to that part of the script, I can watch it go full speed ahead. #SmallJoys
When I take photos under Android, I use the #OpenCamera with great pleasure. There are many tricks for creating good photos.
A gap under Android was previously post-processing. #ImageToolBox fills the void. In addition to #OCR, picture comparison, PDF creation, #watermark, color gradient, stitching (in a grid), encryption, GIF, cropping and scaling, the app has more than 150 filters, which can also be edited with masks (i.e., only to certain image areas).

Stoked to announce a new release of plot2, the powerful and lightweight (0-dep) extension 📦 for #rstats base plotting!
What's new? A bunch of things, including area plots and facets. Draw plots like the below with single/simple function calls. https://github.com/grantmcdermott/plot2
@gmcd I installed it right away and find it already very attractive in this form.
If I were to make a recommendation, it is only the reference to the publication of @zeileis
