  TIL about the `minimal: true` setting for #Quarto HTML renders. You lose the fancy HTML stuff, but if you want to keep things lean, it can make a huge difference. A small self-contained (`embed-resources: true`) render goes from 1.2 mb to 16 kb... around 98.5% size reduction 😍 https://quarto.org/docs/output-formats/html-basics.html#minimal-html #rstats

  Catch of the day: two bags filled with hundreds of pieces of rubbish picked up throughout Lagonda Park, while pulling some bad invasive plants (cat's claw and corky passionfruit for the most part). Also had a long walk through Annerley, added new data to OSM and uploaded observations to iNat. Followed by a good bit of gardening. Feeling good.

  GIICA want to fence off most of #Barrambin / #VictoriaPark this Monday 1st of June - in less than 3 days! This is 6 years before the games, without having released a construction plan for the public to review. That would require kicking out the First Nations camps on this culturally and historically significant site – during National Reconciliation Week. Our green lungs are being sold off. See below what we can do. Please boost 🔁 #OlympicGames #BNE #Meanjin #Magandjin #Brisbane #SEQ 1/?

  I just can't believe that developers and users of "AI" meeting transcription tools think it's OK to have such plugins being launched into a meeting by one person without having prior approval from other participants or the organisers. And then put the responsibility on other attendees to opt out from it. It's absolutely wild to me. #privacy #AI #consent

  I love the regular #OSM website updates posted on the forum, great to peruse the incremental changes that keep making the public face of #OpenStreetMap better, and to see recognition of all contributors. ❤️ https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/what-s-new-on-the-openstreetmap-website/130080/23 #GIS #OpenData #spatialData #maps #FOSS
