Woah. This is wild. I'd never seen a piece of software explicitly discouraging installing through snap.
Discouraged Warning The GitHub CLI team actively discourages use of the following methods of installation. Snap The GitHub CLI package has so many issues with Snap as a runtime mechanism for apps like GitHub CLI that our team suggests never installing gh as a snap.

The "edit" "button" here doesn't do anything. You can edit the time by tapping anywhere in the top row.
Screenshot of the clock app showing an alarm. The top row has the time to the left and an edit "button" to the right.

The whole app is a mess. There's a persistent toast in a very awkward place that alerts me that my phone ringtone is set to silent. You can dismiss it but it comes back every time you open the app.

Changing an alarm time is instant if you do it one way, but […]

Screenshot of the clock app. There's is an alert near the bottom of the screen that says "one or more alarm ringtones are set to silent" with a link to settings.

The state of software today. A modern phone cannot instantly load a couple of alarms.
This is not a clock app, this is a cock-up.

I'm losing my mind. I cannot seem to fix these encoding issues when rendering a ggplot.

Isn't it interesting how the party that is all about freedom, "lean government" and a low regulatory environment pushes for a communist-like planned economy when it comes to immigration? […]

Screenshot from the guardian article: “We need to look at the skills list, match them to the skills we really need and then the surplus, superfluous skills that are coming in, they can all get cut.” Screenshot from the Liberal Party website: We Believe: In the inalienable rights and freedoms of all peoples; and we work towards a lean government that minimises interference in our daily lives; and maximises individual and private sector initiative In government that nurtures and encourages its citizens through incentive, rather than putting limits on people through the punishing disincentives of burdensome taxes and the stifling structures of Labor’s corporate state and bureaucratic red tape.

Lovely ride to Jells Park and back. Got to see a juvenile Magpie begging for food like a 30 year-old teenager staying with their parents, and bees! Very sunny, though. Good I didn't forget to wear sunscreen and a long sleeve shirt.

This guy is not fixing a bike. This guy is falling in love.
Photo of a wall poster at a bicycle store that advertises a 30 day return policy. It features a photo of a man kneeling down tinkering with a bike while the customer sits on the bike. The man is looking up at the customer with a loving look that you wouldn't be surprised if he then took out a ring and proposed.

How many doors you need to go through when you wake up at night and want to pee.
@weirdestate
Floorplan of a long house. The master bedroom is near the front opening to a hallway. The hallway then has a door that leads to the living room, which has a door that opens to a small room with another door that leads to a small room with the single toilet in the whole house (there is no sink in that room). In total, from the master bedroom to the toilet you need to do through 4 doors and walk the entire length of the house.

Y acá el "me ha mordido la oruga". Me encantaría confirmar si esta versión fue grabada en #España y la anterior en #argentina.

I love this article defending psalms 137:9.
"The bible is not talking about massacring babies, don't worry. It's just advocating for total genocide!"
Then in verse 9, the psalmist adds further detail to this cry for revenge, stating, “Happy is the one” who kills the infants of their enemy. The desire is vividly expressed, but it is simply a call for the destruction of the entire nation—the nation that had enslaved the Jews, killed their babies, and destroyed their city. The downfall of Babylon was specifically foretold in Isaiah 13:16, and by alluding to that prophecy, the psalmist may imply that the men who were God’s instruments in fulfilling that prophecy would find joy in carrying out His will.

I've been trying air for #rstats formatting and I'm now turning it off. It's constantly obliterating my code chunks.
Screenshot of what it should be the start of an rmarkdown/quarto code chunk but it's got several new lines in between the backticks and the brackets.

ggplot2 4.0.0 has a lot of exciting user-facing features, but what I'm most interested in is the new S7 internals that allow for multiple dispatch. I can use to potentially fix a bunch of small nagging issues in ggnewscale.
Today is a holiday in #melborne […]

How dare they say that our white supremacist ideas of preserving white culture is racists.

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/sep/20/liberal-mps-speak-up-about-disturbing-advance-anti-immigration-campaign
"Most fair-minded Australians agree that immigration is a serious issue and isn't it just like the Guardian to insinuate that any dissent is racist. "Australia has flourished as a country with a predominantly Anglo-Celtic culture and a country with an overwhelmingly Judeo-Christian ethos. They are both precious. "They have to be preserved, and no one should come to Australia without an expectation of living in an Anglo-Celtic culture, with the Judeo-Christian ethos. And we've got to be crystal clear about that."
