I just deleted my Reddit account and all six posts I made in the 5 years I had an account(!) before deactivating. I haven’t looked at Reddit since the furore last year, so deleting was no big deal. I found the deletion like a form of decluttering… #SparkJoy

I found a lexer for #ImageJ Macros in #VSCode. Now I can use co-pilot for coding ijm.

Reposting this code snippet from Jerôme Mutterer on the bad place. I thought this was so neat:
Drawing #hexagons in #ImageJ

```
newImage("hexagons","8-bit black",512,512,1);
run("Macro...","code=s=40;s2=round(s*sqrt(3)/2);v=(d<getWidth/2)*255*((x%s2<1)&&((y+0.5*s*(x%(2*s2)<1))%s<1))");
run("Voronoi");
setMinAndMax(0,1);
```

Hot take after using copilot in RStudio for half an hour. Time saved slightly greater than time wasted.

Two examples:
1. Gave me a complex 20 line routine to get a ggplot (yay). Needed quite a bit of debugging to actually work and/or do what I want (boo).
2. Got an error, asked it what the error meant, it gave me a stackoverflow url (yay). Turned out to be a hallucination (boo).

Just noticed that bioRxiv are tracking Mastodon clickthroughs from their preprint bots using `?med=mas`
I normally delete the tracking stuff from URLs, but anything showing the power of #TeamMastodon is cool with me!
