In light of the DoE recently deleting gov recommendations from their site, I was reminded to build an app that can diff archived pages from @archive.org's @waybackmachine.bsky.social. Currently hosted on @posit.co's Connect Cloud here: 019f3957-cd1e-0735-4665-d5fb21274822.share.connect.posit.cloud

I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

When you add an ORCID, Bluesky, X, LinkedIn, etc link to your #GitHub profile, it adds the relevant icon next to it. Except if you add a github.io/ link. Then it's a generic 🔗

An example in dslc.video/tidytext broke a few years ago, which led me to look into the gutenbergr #RStats package. I've been maintaining it for a while now, but today it's finally updated on CRAN. Let me know if you see any issues! #dataBS

Unpopular opinion in the #Rstats community: I hope that #Positron entirely supersedes #RStudio as the default R IDE. 😎

Just a reminder that the "Fox News Channel" is just a name— it does not describe an actual news channel. The FNC's own description of its services is here, from its terms of use:

A clip from the Fox News Channel's terms of use says the company's services are "for your personal enjoyment and entertainment."

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning

Diagram with large number: 2.7.123
First “2” is commented: Proud version. Bump when you are proud of the release
Second “7” is commented: Default version. Just normal/okay releases
Third “123” is commented: Shame version. Bump when fixing things too embarrassing to admit
