New Trajectools 2.1 and MovingPandas 0.18 releases

Today marks the 2.1 release of #Trajectools for #QGIS. This release adds multiple new algorithms and improvements. Since some improvements involve upstream #MovingPandas functionality, I recommend to also update MovingPandas while you're at it.

Mapping relationships between #Neo4j spatial nodes with #GeoPandas

Previously, we mapped neo4j spatial nodes. This time, we want to take it one step further and map relationships. A prime example, are the relationships between #GTFS StopTime and Trip nodes.

For example, this is the Cypher query to get all StopTime nodes of Trip 17:

One minute I'm reading about how we've reached 'peak oil & gas'. Next minute I'm reading about new oil & gas developments in the Arctic, North Sea, Middle East and elsewhere.

We're already at 420 ppm atmospheric CO2 and a global average 1.2 deg C heating (2 deg C regionally in Europe).

Meanwhile, CEOs of state oil & gas producers are applying liberal coats of greenwash via the UNFCCC #COP28.

Are we, as a species, really this stupid and weak? Apparently so. Committing "climate suicide".

I've had the idea for a weird kind of Twitter client for years. With Mastodon being all open, I've decided to do the experiment:

What if your Timeline looked like iMessage. A normal timeline confuses me to no end because everything is out of context.

My experiment, Ebou, is a Mastodon client that looks like iMessage. Conversations are grouped by friends and sorted by recent postings.

It is super basic right now, but this already feels much more natural to me 😀
