@shauna In general the visual "what you see is what you get" tools will get slower as your data grows due to all the extra stuff it needs to do for layout. 😅

@shauna Hmm, I'm not sure if this would suit your use case but I usually author stuff in markdown and then use stuff like pandoc to convert to html or pdf for others to view.

For full control this might be a good opportunity to learn some LaTeX since it should give you those levers.

It's defs harder to get into than a graphical editor if you're not already preferring text-mode.

@shauna What OS? Notepad++ on Windows worked great. On Linux I have gotten decent mileage from `nano` (along with making the keybindings closer to what graphical editors use).

I am not aware of web based ones that don't start stuttering as the file size gets huge.

The I2P network is proving its ability to keep people in countries facing information restrictions connected. We are learning more about how people want to use the network everyday.

People mirror and make accessible internet properties that may be censored, allowing access to news and services. It is a place where people can make available privacy tools that may otherwise be restricted, or put a person at risk when accessing them on the internet.

Autonomic Co-op

Hello friends, today we’re launching cooperative.computer !

It’s like dGaaS (De-Googling as a Service). Nextcloud files storage, contacts and calendar syncing and a Matrix account all for £3 per month.

- No ads
- No data mining
- No BS

AND THAT’S NOT ALL! Don’t like it? Change it! Cooperative.computer will eventually be its own cooperative where the members decide how it’s run.

Come talk to us on Matrix today! Operators are standing-by. matrix.to/#/#general:cooperati

jonny (good kind)

ever since I started being a scientist I have been continually gobsmacked at how we are suckers for literally every scam, and the effect of all those scams defines the daily practice of science from front to back. I don't think I'll ever stop being mystified at how people can decide that being mandated to straight transfer like a 5th of every grant to the worst companies in the world is just not relevant to them.

"it's not my job, I just do the science, and every part of how I do the science is kneecapped by my decision that it isn't my job"

I have heard the arguments about precarity and unevenness of expertise and so on and so forth, but almost all of that is itself a symptom of our failure to take responsibility for the political-economic circumstances of our work

we didn't think it was important to be active in our unions to resist neoliberalizing universities. great now you get paid just enough to choose between eating and rent.

we didn't think it was important to rebuild healthy communication systems. billions of dollars later, we funded the surveillance conglomerates that power ICE, own the process by which our work is evaluated and how we maintain our jobs, and make all of our publicly funded research either unavailable to 99.9999% of the world or else subject to a pay-for-prestige APC model designed to reward playing along with a healthy dose of Matthew effects.

and now the infrastructure to support the Nelson Memo's mandate for #OpenData is not our problem. I can't wait to give Amazon total control over scientific data and a brand new shiny revenue stream that never goes down

anyway since capital is like increasingly operationalized as stuff like logistics, intellectual property, attention, and surveillance, i think it would be cool if we started including stuff like communications mediums, databases, and informational organizational systems in "the means of production" when ppl talk about seizing them.

I wish Android had a setting to disable this stupid in-app-browser feature. Honestly my least favorite feature of mobile apps at the moment. I'll take all the shitty adware crammed into apps over this "feature".

@tebicat@tech.lgbt Pagliacci moment. 😩

@david @neuralreckoning @jonny I see. 🤔 It sounds like rather than exploring and visualizing data the biggest problem is how to ingest the data in the first place. Sadly that's way harder (especially if your data isn't already structured) and outside of my personal realm of expertise. Might be worth it to look at some of the SemanticWeb stuff the Chat*** plugin ecosystem has though.

@david @neuralreckoning @jonny Hmm, I was thinking about this over the weekend. What sort of stuff do you wish to explore through it?

IMO shoving everything into postgres with the proper relational links between data and exploring it via queries might get you pretty far. I've been afflicted with programmer-brain so I'm not sure if it's a reasonable suggestion.

@zazzoo@wonkodon.com He he, I've been here since 2018 ish so it's been fun seeing my slice of the culture change over time as there were more folks joining.

@zazzoo@wonkodon.com I think one of the perks is that it's not a single global space where you see absolutely everyone. You pretty much just see folks based on who you follow and who else on your instance follows. It's a bit more personal than other platforms. (though content discovery is a bit harder as a result).

@zazzoo@wonkodon.com Also lots of redditors from what I understand. :P I've been trying to get some of my pals from here to join but so far I haven't had anyone actually take up my offer.

Hell yes. Finally getting around to watching the recordings from @causalislands !

It was super fun to attend and there were lots of interesting talks.

Here's a link to the playlist (set to my talk on holistic local-first software): youtube.com/watch?v=rSvj_NQ5rh
