The No World Order Meir Kahane, Netanyahu, Trump, and the war beyond Iran.

[2/2] for many of the same people tied to them are also tied to this war.

It reminds people that Israel slaughters girls and the Epstein operation rapes them and the US government abets both.

[1/2] Many reacted to the Iran War by proclaiming it a distraction from the Epstein files. Aside from the grotesque nature of declaring the mass murder of civilians, including children, a “distraction”, the Iran War can only remind one of Epstein and Maxwell,

So, you want to make a research software package...

But how do you persuade others to use it and contribute to it?

It's a lot more about the community and trust than the quality of the software

FOSDEM 2026 - Stream AW1.120

If you are filled with FOMO like me because you could not attend #FOSDEM this year, remember everything is live streamed. I just heard a great talk from @florihas.bsky.social about how they harmonized the access to Swiss #ParlData with OpenParlData.ch :

A Software Library with No Code Do we still need libraries of 3rd party code when AI agents are this good?

Se l'AI rende il coding quasi gratis, servono ancora le librerie tradizionali?

Business is booming for defense contractors New data shows that defense firms are making more money than ever.

In 2024, global military spending had its steepest annual rise since 1992, according to new data from @sipri.org. Reuters reports on the record revenues for the weapons industry, citing our research with @quincyinst.bsky.social. www.reuters.com/graphics/BUS...

🦙 The @csvconf.bsky.social is getting bigger and better every year. This time there was lots of interest, conversations and exchanges in a magnificent venue in Bologna, Italy. 🧵

#CSVCONF #CommaLlama

Last keynote of the day at @csvconf.bsky.social: the two legends of Italian #OpenData @giorgialodi.bsky.social and @aborruso.bsky.social will tell us about the last 15 years of open data in Italy. 💥

The horrors of data friction!

A picture is worth a thousand words. That's how the saying goes, right? #csvconfv9 #csvconf @sarapetti.bsky.social keynote talk!

@sarapetti.bsky.social is taking us along the ODE journey which was anything BUT a linear path. I love the emphasis on the failures, which are an essential part of any journey, but are mostly kept hidden away. #csvconf #csvconfv9

@sarapetti.bsky.social is being so genuine: "a lot of things did not make sense in the initial phase of ODE, and the feedback from users and communities was absolutely crucial."
For example, people were scared of the metadata section (which is not hard to believe eheh) #csvconf #csvconfv9

"The app logic can help with data literacy" - I really like this, because it shows once again that a technical solution without a framework around it that makes sense and it's capable of answering questions and meeting users needs - is worth ZERO. @sarapetti.bsky.social at #csvconf #csvconfv9

"Don't make assumptions, listen, take a step back, be aware of language barriers, be aware of the words you choose"

Seems to me @sarapetti.bsky.social needs to go teach a thing or two around universities and gov bodies. There, I said it, sorry not sorry.
