This was a cool chapter from so many points of view indeed!

spoilerAlso the Darkshine moment.

And the Serious Series of course!

Looks like an item from a PC or NPC of the Charlatan class...

It mentions "greyskull", maybe some connection with She-Ra or He-Man as well?

PS: are the recurring ones per month or per year?

[–] pglpm@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thank you so much! If I understand correctly it's around 80 donors, counting recurring and one-time together?

[–] pglpm@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week ago

Cheers! Then it'd be quite cheap if every user gave their 10c/month. Let's see what they say about actual donor-users.

Thank you for the great job! 🙏 🚀

Let me ask two explicit questions:

  • Considering costs and total number of users, how much should be a user's monthly donation to keep things even or a little on the safe side?

  • Considering costs and total number of donators, how much should be a donator's monthly donation to keep things even or a little on the safe side? This is a more realistic estimate, as there are users (say, students) who can't pay (and of course users who simply don't want to pay).

Many Fediverse initiatives seem too shy to give this kind of information, but I think there's nothing wrong about it. Please tell us in time if the economy were to be going bad, nobody wants another lemm.ee event :) As Impossible Mission for the Commodore 64 used to say:

Stay awhile, stay forever!

And since EU is effectively not based on democracy, European citizens won't be able to stop this.

I’m sick of windows, but maybe I should just not risk messing with operating systems I don’t understand? (Also I really hope those screenshots don’t doxx me or something)

It's a little learning curve, but don't give up - I'm happy to see that you aren't! Your understanding is already increasing step by step, and you'll feel a lot of satisfaction because of this too 💪🚀

Interested in trying out Bayesian nonparametrics for your statistical research?

I'd be very grateful if people tried out this R package for Bayesian nonparametric population inference, called inferno :

https://pglpm.github.io/inferno/

It is especially addressed to clinical and medical researchers, and allows for thorough statistical studies of subpopulations or subgroups.

Installation instructions are here.

A step-by-step tutorial, guiding you through an example analysis of a simple dataset, is here.

The package has already been tested and used in concrete research about Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, drug discovery, and applications to machine learning.

Feedback is very welcome. If you find the package useful, feel free to advertise it a little :)

as evidenced by the rise of the Julius Caesar of our time—Donald Trump

Is it the author of the article who writes such idiocies? or the author of the book?

Thank you for respecting the votes from the move poll in the previous instance (note: I voted for sopuli). In some other moving communities the moderators just take the votes as suggestions, but then decide themselves.

[Solved thanks to @tal. See instructions below.]

I'd like to subscribe and occasionally post to some usenet newsgroup like sci.physics or sci.physics.research. It's difficult! I tried to simply enter "sci.physics" in Thunderbird's Newsgroup reader, but apparently it doesn't work simply like that... Even subscribing to news.eternal-september.org didn't help – I think my understanding of providers and groups is very confused.

Could anyone kindly help?

This is quite new. Just wanted to share. (The link is from Sci-Hub, so the whole thing seems legit).

Edit: but, if I'm getting it right, they're just replacing paywalls with another paywall?

For several years I've been using DuckDuckGo instead of Google Search, and I've been overall quite happy with the results. Only rarely had I to resort to Google search (!g).

During the last month or two, however, I've found myself using the !g switch and Google search more than half of the time. DuckDuckGo shows no or few results where Google shows more (and useful) ones.

Still I don't want to give in. So:

  • Have you also experienced this worsening of DuckDuckGo?
  • Which other more privacy-respecting alternatives do you recommend?
 

Does anyone have some thinkfan setting for Thinkpad X1E4 (X1 Extreme gen 4) to share? Cheers!

[Mod: not sure if this kind of question fits this community; please delete if it doesn't and accept my apologies]

Edit: explicitly downgrading to 10.1 with

sudo apt install wine-staging=10.1~focal-1 wine-staging-amd64=10.1~focal-1 wine-staging-i386:i386=10.1~focal-1 winehq-staging=10.1~focal-1

worked for me, but see other solutions posted below.

Thank you for the help!


On Ubuntu, the last apt upgrade of Wine broke down, bringing down the whole apt system:

The following packages have unmet dependencies. wine-staging : Depends: wine-staging-amd64 (= 10.2~focal-2) but 10.2~focal-1 is installed

At the suggestion of running sudo apt --fix-broken install, this is what happens:

Unpacking wine-staging-amd64 (10.2~focal-2) over (10.2~focal-1) ... dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/wine-staging-amd64_10.2~focal-2_amd64.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/opt/wine-staging/bin/wine', which is also in package wine-staging-i386:i386 10.2~focal-2 dpkg-deb: error: paste subprocess was killed by signal (Broken pipe) Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/wine-staging-amd64_10.2~focal-2_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Apparently this is also happening on Linux Mint: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=441158

Any suggestions? Cheers!
