I can speak to if (x) { ... } as I was one of the drivers to make length(x) > 1 an error. It had been a warning since 2002 (saying only x[1] was used), and we made a serious push for escalating that to an error in 2017. It became a strict error in R (>= 4.2.0) [2022-04-22]. You can read about this journey in https://github.com/HenrikBengtsson/Wishlist-for-R/issues/38 and https://blog.r-project.org/2018/10/12/conditions-of-length-greater-than-one/index.html.

Good morning Fedi friends! Today is the 1 year anniversary of the start of my #selfhosting adventures with #YunoHost.

I'm currently self-hosting #GoToSocial, #Pixelfed, #PeerTube and #NextCloud – and I'm always on the lookout for the next great app to install.

Thank you @yunohost for making me a more empowered digital citizen 💖

To give back, I'm writing a simple #selfhosting guide for newbies. ICYMI, here's the latest chapter: https://blog.elenarossini.com/a-newbies-guide-to-self-hosting-with-yunohost-part-2-installation-setup/

Wishing you all a great day!

I'm sad to say that I am in need of financial support again.

My weekly work hours at my day job will be reduced soon, leaving me with less money than I already have, and I am looking for a second job and a few helping hands.

If you have enjoyed my work on Ubuntu Touch over the years, please consider donating via PayPal or Liberapay. I only hope for donations for the short term, long term I want to be able to stand on my own again. Links over at https://fredl.me

Absolute banger of a post shared by @tarakiyee on another network. Every other paragraph is quote-worthy.

"That impulse to scour away the messiness that makes life resilient is what many conservation biologists call the pathology of command and control. Today, the same drive to centralize, control and extract has driven the internet to the same fate as the ravaged forests."

Okay I finally got back to my super commuter bike project. Did some welding this evening and got the front triangle together. Just need to add one more pivot near the bottom bracket.
