[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
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 :

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

🦙 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. 💥
#csvconf #commallama
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.
#csvconf #csvconfv9
At #csvconf, @yomguithereal.bsky.social just shared #médialab wrote a love letter to the #csv format. 💚 How cool is that?
