I'm launching an email series called What's New in R. #rstats
Why am I doing this?
Previously, Twitter served as my primary resource for R updates. However, after Elon Musk's takeover, leading R users have migrated away, spreading across platforms like Mastodon, LinkedIn, YouTube, and more, making it challenging to track R news.
The inaugural issue releases tomorrow, you can sign up here: https://rfortherestofus.com/whatsnew
Microsoft just announced that they were breached by the SVR, the same Russian intelligence agency that broke into Solarwinds.
This is a big deal, and Microsoft owes all of us a much more detailed description of what happened.
🚨 I'm excited to release the 𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚢𝚝𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚎 📦 for #RStats ! Convert R dataframes to beautiful tables in HTML, LaTeX, PDF, Quarto, Markdown, etc. Easy to learn; minimalist interface; concise syntax; ultra-customizable tables; and zero dependency. 🧵 https://vincentarelbundock.github.io/tinytable/

@Damon@mozilla.social I think one way of answering that question is: we're trying to build a smarter, better, more inclusive Web where distinct pieces can interoperate together while respecting user consent when it comes to access and privacy.
We want to avoid annoying pitfalls, like MySpace and Facebook never being able to exchange messages, or Twitter blocking Instagram embeds in tweets. We want to make it easier for users to customize their experiences, maybe even manipulate how their tools look and feel directly in the browser. We want to give meaning and purpose to data ownership and portability, and tear down walled gardens in favor of empowering people to say and do whatever they want, in their own spaces.
Some of this is federation, in the sense that users can follow and interact with their favorite sites through their favorite apps. But the deeper, meatier stuff involves inducing change to the fabric of the web itself, as well as the scaffolds.
