focuses more on quality is a good approach.
Yes, one can already see that a lot is done in Switzerland. 🦾 My knowledge is that Switzerland is also the only country where an true open source multilingual LLM originated from. #Apertus I may take a interesting development, although I have read little about it lately.

@magnusmanske
I see.
Will we see the rusty #GENtle getting some Rust next? 🙃

@rkward To be a bit more specific about "New custom script preview modes for advanced users." #RKWard supports #quarto now officially. Here comes the twist. With the RKWard function rk.register.script.preview() you can make own custom script preview modes. #rstats

As of 24 April 2026, RKWard @rkward 0.8.3 is available. This release ensures compatibility with R 4.6.0 and later versions.

🔹 Support for #QWebView HTML rendering to improve stability.
🔹 New custom script preview modes for advanced users.
🔹 Various bug fixes and R highlighting improvements.

If you are upgrading to R 4.6.0, please ensure you use version 0.8.3 or later. Downloads are available in the usual place. Feedback is welcome!

@btuftin

Let me recommend you one of the oldest integrated development environments and graphical user interfaces for R, which is #RKWard @rkward . It is in existence since 2002, has many features and I happen to like it a lot. It's 100% open source, extendable ... you name it. In 2012 we even underwent peer review. Admittedly, this is quite some time ago, but in the meantime support for Markdown, Quarto and other technologies was integrated.

@tuxedocomputers His Linux Bio: #Knoppix -> #Ubuntu -> #openSUSE -> next? 🙃

Michael, have fun @tuxedocomputers

The #fcase function from #rdatatable is such a pleasure to work with.

https://rdatatable.gitlab.io/data.table/reference/fcase.html

#Rstats

@fdroidorg #ImageToolbox gets #AI is correct. It is local and works if the phone is not providing compute, this new feature is not fun to use. However, #DeJPEG, #upscale, #colorization, #enhancement is now available. Background removing offers also more models for the #FLOSS version.

@mfuhrmann In theory kinda yes. It deepends on how you setup the tool. Number of snapshots ... But, under practical conditions not really.

I usually, just revert back to an earlier time point and things are fine. Anyways, you can also choose a snapshot during boot.

On #Debian based systems I use #timeshift (with #ext4) in a similar fashing.

@ruedin
What is your take on setdw()? Usually it's not recommended to use it because it can cause issues in the long run. In our #RKWard we have a button which the user just pushes and he will immediately change to the working directory. Methinks for RStudio/Posit, it should be quite similar. (I know, this video is about plain #rstats, thus no IDE)

@inlovewithpda
In combination with BTRFS or EXT4 + #Timeshift definitely nice to use and fairly robust.
@stdevel

Is there a method to exclude certain paper types in #OpenAlex? For example, I would like to exclude #preprints from #arXiv.

@OpenAlex

@Zekovski

Je pense que c'est bien, je l'utilise sur un de mes ordinateurs depuis des années. Je recommande également TuxedoOS.

Sur la base de Debian, il serait recommandé à MX Linux KDE Flavour et Siduction.

#MXLinux #siduction #tuxedoos

@nerdherz
Das ist schon spannend zu sehen, wie das hier im Fediverse gar keine Rolle spielt. Um es mal einzuordnen, da geht es um Influencer und Agenturen die Millionenbeträge vermutlich durch Betrug planvoll von Nutzern holen. Rechtsanwalt Prof. #Solmecke hat dazu ein Video gemacht und ordnet es strafrechtlich als möglichen Betrug ein. Wer das mal anschauen möchte, kann sich da ein Bild von dem Thema machen.

@distrowatch

OK. Thanks. This may improve once more developers and resources are available. It is a tough topic. Back in 2015, I used #CyanogenMod on a Samsung phone. The quality of the photos was bad, and the camera often either didn't start or crashed (draining the battery in the background). No comparison to current custom ROMs.

@[email protected]
Hey Labplot, I'm asking for a friend. Can #Labplot do gap axises like #rstats #plotrix or #python #matplotlib?
@[email protected] @opensource

Did you know that #RKWard can be extended by plugins?

https://rkward.kde.org/doc/rkwardplugins/

For example, you can use this to create custom GUIs for repetitive tasks.

For example those here are available:

https://mirrors.xtom.com/kde-application/rkward/R/index.html

They can be easily installed as described in the README

#rstats

@djnavarro
I can promise that we at #RKWard have no AI plans. 😎

The latest RKWard release 0.8.2 brings improved package installation (now defaulting to pkgType="both" on Windows/Mac), smoother code completion (including filename completion inside quotes), and a more stable UI. Enjoy UTF-8 support on Windows, enhanced R Console preview mode with plots, and new Quick Code Navigation features.

https://rkward.kde.org/

Several bugs have been fixed, and plugins now support more readable GUI logic.

May I ask which devices you would recommend as mobile phone?

I just discovered **Universal Android Debloater Next Generation** – a quick, user‑friendly way to clean up your phone by removing or disabling useless pre‑installed apps.

🔗 https://github.com/Universal-Debloater-Alliance/universal-android-debloater-next-generation
✨ Easy to use, instant results, no root required.

Give it a try if you’re looking for a lighter, faster Android experience!

Vor kurzem habe ich Universal Android Debloater Next Generation kennengelernt.

Soeben habe ich es genutzt. Es war bequem und einfach zu nutzen, um auf einem Android Smartphone unnütze Apps zu entfernen und deaktivieren.

Due to this article I learned about the existence of the a cross-platform GUI written in Rust using ADB to debloat non-rooted Android devices. They claim it can improve the privacy, the security and battery life of a device.

@soldan

Thomas is preparing the next release of #RKWard

The 1st new feature is "(Quick) Code Navigation" (You will love it). This allows to navigate, select, and run code based on the parsed structure, rather than just line by line.

The 2nd is the "R Console" preview mode (again, in script windows), now also includes further options, and, importantly, graphs. This even allows tracking the evolution of a plot statement by statement.

AppImage and more here: https://cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/education/rkward/master/

You can try https://www.sustaphones.com/
Maybe your phone is supported by even more alternative ROMs.

I know that #eOS on Motorola #G30 phones works very well.

Others already mentioned that you can "uninstall" apps via ADB. It is doable. https://android.izzysoft.de/applists/category/named/network_admin_adb?lang=en

Consider to install #trackercontrol if an alternative ROM is not available?

I bought an #Android 4.3 tablet (#Alcatel onetouch, 18 £). Sure it is outdated but is sufficient. I found several great apps via #fdroid and transferred them via Bluetooth (saved as txt) from my current phone to the old tablet (tablet certificate expired, need to update this). Is there any resource to find more apps in the meantime? I looked at #izzyondroid a bit.

@IzzyOnDroid do you have be chance a filter for the minimum Android version I missed in the web interface?

@timapple
There are some, but I'm not sure if that's exactly what you are looking for. In my opinion, they are good.

@bluelupo
Ich hatte das missverstanden. Sorry.
Aber nun bin ich auch ab der Antwort interessiert.

#siduction und #sparkylinux kommen ja nicht infrage.

@begasus @begasus

From our perspective that QtWebEngine is indeed a pain point for Qt 6.x, and unfortunately, there's no alternative at the moment. We'd love to replace or make it optional if possible. We do not see a solution to this.

For working with R 4.5, we suggest trying the kf5-branch from Git. However, that branch will also become outdated over time.

Thanks for your efforts in keeping things updated on Haiku! 🙏

@andymccall I see. I'm just asking because recently I revived an Ausus EeePC with a 32 bit MXLinux.

I am wondering if there is a tool that list all degoogled alternative ROMs and their supported devices.

In RKWard we have a data viewer but not a data explorer.

https://rkward.kde.org/

Due to the integration of the Kate text editor, we also have functionality to operate the editor like vi.

@tinyspheresof @rkward Sorry for the late response. Currently, there is no such functionality in #rkward, except that one in the screenshot.
But let me tell you about an upcoming feature called “Code navigation”. It is enabled in the latest AppImage (https://cdn.kde.org/ci-builds/education/rkward/master/linux/)
It helps you to very quickly navigate the R and #RMarkdown scripts. It will address your problem directly.

@joahim
Same here recently
#handbrake (has a nice batch feature) and #K3b for the simple cases and #sh with #ddrescue and #ffmpeg et al. for the harder cases all on a #X61 on a #Debian distro

@jan
Do you mean KDE HUD
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b8uQGPQvcRk&t=10s
Ctrl + Alt + I
"Find Action" in the help menu
But not all applications have it. #RKWard, #Kate, #Dolphin have it

@jan
#KRunner
Alt + space ?

@kubuntufocus

This is a great approach. Actually, I wished this was a default option on all distributions. I was always a bit reluctant to use BTRFS because it looked like more work. You nailed it by saying “ease-of-use” “for the average user”.
I use BTRFS + #timeshift on a #siduction installation. Wish your implementation would be available there.
Keep up the great work!

Off-topic: I looked it up but didn't find something. Do you use snap?

@amici Back in the days, we shipped #RKWard with a slim #KDE environment. This means that people had #okular, #dolphin et al. included. Methinks, this is no longer the case. At least, I haven't tried for ages:
https://rkward.kde.org/rkward-on-windows/

@kev I am sorry to hear this. Thanks for all the work you did. I, and certainly other FOSS folks, appreciated it. FOSSTODON helped to spread the word about #RKWard. Therefore, also thanks from this side.

📊 #RKWard, the powerful #rstats IDE/GUI has just released its latest update 0.8.1 /w enhancements. 🚀

- Now you can register your custom R functions in the menu using rk.menu()! 💪
- New plugin for Linux users to easily download the latest AppImage version. 👾
- Several fixes 🖼️.
- The glyph()-functionality has been implemented for better visual representation in the RK() device! ✨

I can add #RKWard to the list. Though focused on #rstats it is based on #kate which means we have a nice preview for #markdown and other things.

Count in #tinytable and #rdatatable.

@flaviaerius

I see the hardware is of course an important aspect.

You could also try fread from #rdatatable and see if this works better for you.

Since I have quite powerful laptop, I rarely come to the limits. But this was different in the past. I did my doctoral thesis (R package development included) in part on an #EeePC. That was fun.

How is the adoption by the researchers? Do they use it or do they which to use non-open source electronic lab notebooks?
