You seem to value fairness and justice. I worked at a shelter and it’s often not as simple. Often, the dependency that children have with their abusive parents (or partners with their abusive partners) is something that needs to be worked on first, before any attempt to leave is made.

Thanks for the reply! So Excel maybe is not as fast as the meme would suggest, I suppose.

I agree with you. I love ggplot2. And I’m good at it. So it’s my software of choice when doing data analysis and when making graphs.

However, I understand that there’s an upfront cost to pay to use it: learning to code, tidying data, etc…

And beyond that, I don’t really do data analysis with spreadsheet software like Excel or LibreCalc. So I don’t know if a proficient LibreCalc user would be able to compete with a proficient ggplot2 user.

Honest question: do you think this could improve with practice? Or does the ggplot workflow necessarily makes it all slower?

Not me, but a friend believed Obama was not American. Conversations over time (couple of months) changed them.

Not a proper conspiracy theory, but I used to be a dualist, thinking that souls exist and they’re separate from bodies. All of this changed with a long conversation with a materialist. He helped me see how my beliefs were historically determined, socially programmed, and not based on atemporal scientific principles. Overnight change to materialism.

The answer is contextual, just like people are contextual. Sometimes, my circles are all busy or stressed out and we can’t really be there for each other. Other times, strangers have saved me, like the couple that took me in when lockdowns started and I was far from home.

Have you heard of the Stanford Prison Experiment? Or the Princeton Seminarian experiment? Or the Milgram Experiment? All of them confirm that people are contextual. That’s lesson 1 in psychology, but we humans easily forget it. We focus on the person and forget the context. That folly of ours even has a name: Fundamental Attribution Error.

Thanks for the suggestions. Had time to try to print it. Didn’t work. I’ll try the other options later.

Before getting in the shower, what is keeping you from getting in?

Europe isn’t a brand, it’s a life/style.

Yes. I suppose I’d like to try it. Maybe the cost is worth the benefits.

That’s alright 🙂

Oh wow. That’s a pleasantly surprising code of conduct. If the code of conduct is consequential, I stand corrected about my view of Graphene OS.

• “Respectful and kind”. Amazing.
• “Harassment is not tolerated”. Hell yeah.
• “Be respectful and constructive.” Brilliant.

You’re bringing up a fair point, similar to “can you separate the art from the artist”? I think it’s possible; I’ve seen mean and disparaging people do amazing work. Heck, at times I’ve been a cranky worker cranking out good work.

However, I also know that toxic people are hard to work with and limit their own potential and that of others. A quick look at the ACT literature, the intrinsic motivation literature, the learned-helplessness literature, and the Lybomirsky et al. meta-analyses from 2008 and 2018 all point to the same idea: psychologically flexible people are happier and that leads to better work and more productivity, but not the other way around.

Ah. I searched for it and found that guest mode was disabled on Matrix.org’s servers. I wonder if making it work in another server is easy, either with or without GrapheneOS…

A quick search lead to these links. They’re 3 years old. Maybe the community has changed since then.

This sounds amazing. It’s unfortunate that Graphene OS has so much toxicity around it, but this design decision is amazing. Love it.

I tried quickly looking for the feature, but I couldn’t find it. I searched for “Graphene OS Matrix chat homepage guest user”, “Graphene OS chat homepage guest user”, “Graphene OS chat homepage”, and “Graphene OS homepage QR” but didn’t find what you mentioned.

This ticks all the boxes! Thanks! I suppose something I didn’t contemplate is that I would like to close the chat and still be able to get notifications on my phone. I don’t want to always have a dozen chats open, ready for the other party to send me a message. Regardless, I’m glad this project exists!

Oh no. What have I done?

Sounds like you haven’t been on the same corners of the internet as I have, because reading about co-washing is not strange to me. Have you been to hair care communities?
