Development status is still fresh and a little bit experimental. I am happy to hear about your #experiences across different OS and from CPU-only users. And please, be patient in case of issues -- my primary role is being a researcher :)

The package takes care of (most of) the backend installations🦾, sentence tokenization ✂️, text cleaning 🪥, language detection, and translation 👅.
It uses your CUDA GPU if available!
Let me know about your experiences and use github for troubleshooting: github.com/thieled/easi...

Best way of conference traveling: Bring a bike 🚲!
Omw (with a 🐰 detour) to Vienna for @comptext.bsky.social and to grab my PhD certificate in efficient packing. 😏🧳

A mirror selfie of a fully--yet efficiently packed--conference traveller / cyclist.

Same guy in the train. unmounted bike transformed into a neatly stored piece of bulky luggage in the background.

#Rstats nerds: Is there a way to list all system-level #dependencies (e.g. #linux libs) of an R package prior installation?

Close, but post-installation and most often incomplete is:
maketools::package_sysdeps('foo')
