I released some 88x31 web buttons/badges for various Git forges which are hopefully useful for folks leaving GitHub. (I also released badges for @stoat.chat and @listenbrainz.org)

Today I learned that using ‘imager’ r package I can edit images in R. For example removing background and cropping images. Suuuuuper cool. Thanks @nrennie.bsky.social !!!!

TidierErrors.jl now has an #rstats counterpart in {errbud}, your local LLM-powered tool for decrypting error messages in R, thanks to @randy.pub. No more settling for “object of type `builtin` is not subsettable” It even looks to see what packages are loaded! github.com/rdboyes/errbud

I've recently started compiling a list of data science related resources that I use or recommend frequently! 📊 Link: nrennie.rbind.io/data-science... #RStats #Python #DataViz #DataScience

I now also have a (work in progress) list of #DataViz specific resources as well! Link: nrennie.rbind.io/data-viz-res... You can find links to tools, papers, books, blogs, and websites that are related to data visualisation. I'll be adding more resources soon 📊 #RStats #Python

🇯🇵 Japan has officially banned Apple’s iOS browser engine restrictions. Starting Dec 2025, iPhones must allow real Firefox, Chrome, and others to run their own engines, just like on desktop. open-web-advocacy.org/blog/japan-a...

History repeats itself.. OpenAI opened two models today, and they are available on Hugging Face 🤗. Long term, the competition will do the work, and we see LLMs fully open source, as it was with deep learning algorithms and other applications. huggingface.co/openai/gpt-o... #opensource #ai #llm

uBlock Origin Lite now available for Safari running on iPhone, iPad, and macOS (Mac). It is a free and opensource app to block Ads and other stuff. Give it a try. apps.apple.com/us/app/ubloc...

This will surely solve a lot of problems when dealing with Named Entity Recognition and Relationship Extraction, fresh library released yesterday! Check it out #LLM #AI #pydata

The `sudo systemctl soft-reboot` on Linux is used for performing a userspace only reboot operation. It will reboot the Linux distro without the BIOS, UEFI or the hardware having to perform a complete cold boot. As a result your system reboots in seconds but will not load a new Linux kernel.

I ran an #rstats lab for many years before our foray into #pydata, so wouldn’t say my experience is super generalizable. But going back to play with R and seeing improvements to wasm and shinylive, ellmer, ragnar, vitals, and the entire tidy ecosystem reminded me just how batteries-included it is.

or lineage os, or crdroid.. also, you can just disable the AI services on your android. install adb, connect it to usb, enable usb debugging then: adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.aicore pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.as pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.apps.bard

I'm sharing this because lots of folks are sick of Gemini AI in Android or wish to de-google. So here is a quick view about Graphene OS. Graphene OS: a security-enhanced Android build lwn.net/SubscriberLi... Do as wish this info :) #privacy #security #android

FYI: I converted the file to Parquet and got it down to 130MB. So, I guess this is going to be my new favorite format for larger files.

Wow. I was sent a 5GB csv file which I just converted to RDS. It's now 400 MB Not bad, #rstats...

Didn't know about ibis! Also, lol

all of modern python data analysis packages are but reimplementing R packages plotnine -> ggplot2 ibis -> dplyr polars seems to also be heavily inspired by dplyr I also see packages using formula notation now (pyfixest for example)

Stupid question alert but here we go anyway: I long-ago deleted my twitter account, I cannot cope with linkedin, but I need to get back into knowing what's going on in #rstats world. Anyone recommend specific feeds / people / other stuff to drag myself back into it? (or do I just trawl rstats)

Israel's military and groups of malevolent settlers are using innocent, starving, civilian Palestinians for mass target practice every day, and it is met with “¯\_(ツ)_/¯” by everyone who has some power to at least try to make them stop, and I honestly + fundamentally do not know why.
