@coatless.bsky.social Can I ask your advice? Say you wanted to do a shiny app with a leaflet map but you had more data than leaflet can deal with, is there a way to interrogate the gpkg based on current XY via mousemove to only return a subset of the data?

TikTok is telling me I have a thing called "polyphonic perception" where you hear all the parts of a song and can, like, switch your focus to different melodies, percussion, etc. For me, the different layers of a complex song almost exist in different physical spaces if that makes any sense.

I’m a @Vivaldi convert. It's the easy workspace switching that did it for me. I've got like 3 jobs now, so it's really important that I keep stuff visibly separate to avoid overload. Also seems to allow me to be logged into Google stuff with different accounts in different workspaces.

The real question is how many other people have died under ICE who were not citizens of fancy ally countries. They will never report the true numbers. May all their memories be for a revolution. We need Canada to make a BIG FORKING DEAL over this and get it to be the scandal that ends ICE plz

What is the point of MAGA saying "the Democrat party" instead of the Democratic Party? Are they mad that they don't understand grammar, or is this supposed to be some flavor of "owning the libs"? I genuinely don't get it.
