ARGH. I am trying to convince my study group that I am correct and they are not, in terms of our statistical analysis. We do not yet know who the prof thinks is right! But ... I legit think that one of my compatriots has gotten their answer from ChatGPT or something. And it is WRONG, in my opinion. I may die on this hill. Sigh.

The prof actively told us we could to use ChatGPT to get the right code to run in Stata. FML.

@ebassi I don't know if the "process is not responding" dialog works the same on all #Linux distributions, but on #Ubuntu it just appears too often (many applications and situations) and too frequently (click on ok and 1 second later it pops up again). Do you know if one can set the sensitivity much lower or if one can disable it at all?

P.S. I see the dialog very often with #Thunderbird #LibreOffice #Firefox #Chromium #RStudio #Stata #Gnome preferences #Geany #PDFStudio

@TheFarshief I finally switched on Ubuntu 23.10 from #X11 to #Wayland, after some back and forth in earlier versions. Wayland seems to be smoother, less flickering, quicker and more stable when I plug in a USB-C external screen, better on 4K monitor, multi-finger gestures. I have some issues with a few legacy apps still requiring #XWayland like #Stata. Screen-sharing on #Zoom works fine, but not yet in the #Webex client (but in Webex browser).

@Carwil 1. The World Bank or UN may have some resources for translation. They obviously have tons of that stuff.

2. The proper approach should of course be multilingual category labels. #Stata supports these through their equivalents of attr(). The limited and unstructured support for labels in #rstats is available through a mix of 📦 haven, labelled, sjlabelled, and ipumsr. In particular, the latter has useful relabeling functions.
