duckdb bends the truth a little by claiming zero dependencies. They are vendored in -- so no *external* dependencies is a little "truthier". #Rstats installation can be easy, fast, reliable, complete: #r2u demo below given tomorrow's talk. 5 seconds on Ubuntu 22.04.

Replying to @cortinah
`dang::isConnected()` is one. To not create a one-function dependency I copied the function into `tint` too.

The `r2u` talk is happening in three days in Chicago at the R User Group meeting. Updated #r2u download chart below as a tease. Not yet 'billions and billions served' but hey 400k aint too shabby for four months. Details at eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/
Delighted to talk about `r2u` next Thursday at the Chicago R Users Group. As a teaser, the cumulative downloads of Ubuntu focal or jammy binaries. `r2u` covers all of CRAN, with full dependencies. See eddelbuettel.github.io/r2u/ for more on this new #Rstats tool.

Today's update of #r2u, spanning four days from a long weekend, gets us 32 new #CRAN packages (along with 152 updates) for #Rstats, all pre-made binaries for @Ubuntu with full dependencies, installable via `apt` or `install.packages()` via `bspm`.

The insistence of one vendor to seemingly have every single employee repost an announcement to the #Rstats hash tag just made me add what is below to my settings. What pinheads.
