If you are using RStudio on Linux on a Wayland compositor and you have a HiDPI monitor, you might be wondering why it's all blurry. I have some good news for you. I've been trying to get it to work for a while too and I finally did today.

From terminal, run RStudio using:
`rstudio --disable-gpu --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland`

My least favourite sharp edge of Mastodon is the fact that when you view someone else's post you only see replies to it that are known to your server - so there's actually a good chance there will be replies that are completely invisible to you, especially if you run your own instance

I'd love it if tapping a post kicked off a request back to the original server that fetched the current reply count and provided a "view all replies" button if there were replies not yet visible to me

one of my favorite things on social media is when people nerd the heck out about hobbies I don't know anything about.

I have a friend on instagram who's super into Breyer horses and like, I know fuck-all about either real horses or plastic ones but she does these explainers about the hobby that are always a delight to read

Post about your hobbies. It's okay to take up space. Delight somebody with details.

Let's test my Mastodon network.

If you're a grad student (MA or PhD) at NYU who wants to help local journalism surivive, and who might want to take a course with me... this is a heads up.

Spring semester, my students and I have a nifty project planned with a local news startup in NYC. We are looking to add people to the project from different discplines. Tech, data, design, city planning, NY politics, local life.
