@nyhan If you want a no-code app, Flourish can do Gantt charts. https://app.flourish.studio/@flourish/gantt
I'd do it in R and ggplot myself, but that has a bit of a learning curve.

@infobeautiful the larger pie has only half the number of pepperonis though

if you are under 30 years old and picking a font size for something other people need to read, not just yourself: that’s too small. still too small. A LITTLE BIGGER

@aleha I thought I had seen folks use doi:10.1080/10618600.1996.10474713 but that's not what you mean, is it?

Hey vis.social!

We have an amazing group of volunteer moderators who work in their spare time to help keep your experiences here on vis.social and the greater fediverse as safe as possible.

We deal with spammers, and block them for you. We deal with fascists, and block them for you.

Take a moment to thank our community moderators. And maybe consider joining us? If even now an then? The more diverse our team, the better we are as a team.

I'm a proud member of the "'hard no' movement against AI" that believes "there is something grotesque about these simulacra, the people who push them on us, this whole affair."

It's not just that genAI is a theftbot. Not just that it's being used to destroy *everything*. It is *deeply* anti-human.

Trans women are women.

@hrbrmstr I read somewhere that JBM designs the FT charts with ggplot.

I would rather see your shittiest most half-assed napkin doodle than a single frame of your finest AI slop.

I don't want an AI assistant to "help me keep track of information from across the web" I just want everything I follow to have an RSS feed 😢

@DoodlePeter "We didn't think he was actually going to do that" is the new "Davon haben wir nichts gewusst".

@kristinHenry 🫂 with ❤️ from 🇨🇦

@futurebird but I think about it this way: all video games are shit interfaces to fake problems that would be easy to solve with adequate tools.

@Myndex Bullies are cowards and everyone hates them.

Is there a list of European/FOSS alternatives for common web dev related software? #unplugtrump

It's entirely unsurprising that people's physical intuition is not great when they're only allowed to look at things. Looking at knots is not how we learn to use them.
