Hey #FOSS people, I have a friend who is a reserch statistician who uses proprietary #statistics tools at their institution. Is there some resource I could point them about robust alternatives?
@chadloder i did post sometimes on Twitter to mastodon but still read mastodon replies.
In fact I get more interaction here than on Twitter.
The censorship of journalists did it for me.
I still cross post to Twitter but no longer have the app and no longer interact
J'ai acheté city skyline. Jaime bien a date. Le jeu est en rabais si il y a des gens intéressés #jeuxvideo
I bought cities skylines. So far I'm liking it. It's on sale by the way #videogames

@psykotikx heureusement que les milliardaires ne contrôlent pas toutes les plateformes dans lesquelles on peut s’exprimer
@BruceMirken ooooh I get it now it's not black Friday 🛍️ but black Friday 🧒🏿
@BruceMirken wasn't black Friday like last month?
@cwebbonline how is that money laundering though. It certainly is a scam but the scanner isn't trying to launder money
@atomicpoet if by woke they mean black people should have rights then it's so woke but if they mean it like all white men are racist homophobic sexist transphobic then they are completely delusional
Elon Musk and Autism/Aspergers
I certainly don't speak for all autistic people or for the autism community in general, but as an autistic person and someone who knows many autistic people who are kind, compassionate, honest, and decent human beings, I feel compelled to make this statement:
Elon Musk is an egotistical narcissistic megalomaniac who is out of touch with reality, power hungry, entitled, privileged, corrupt little man but nothing he does or thinks or says is because of autism.
If anyone is writing about him, or reporting on him, or making any attempt to analyze what is going on in that head of his, please keep autism out of the equation.
Does he actually have Aspergers, like he claims? Who knows. He says he does but clearly he lies. A lot. I don't know him well enough nor am I qualified to make that assessment.
Ultimately though, it doesn't matter. Autistic people can be evil too. It just means that autism isn't the reason.
So please do myself and all of the autistic people I know and any who agree with this statement a favour and leave autism out of the discussion.
