Python was awarded a funding grant, funding grant asked Python foundation to remove all diversity and inclusion initiatives they have.
Python foundation said no and rejected the grant.
If you use Python, send a few dollars to the charity to keep it going. I’m pushing a dono on behalf of ScamGuard.

with the recent discourse on developer-focused laptops, I feel the need to shout out @system76.bsky.social. we have a variety of System76 hardware at the shop, and I have loved every one I've worked on.
can't wait to upgrade to a Lemur Pro once my @frame.work shits the bed.

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today

@jeffgeerling.com just watched your wonderful video on the @frame.work desktop with its AMD AI MAX+ 395 board. Got me wondering—have you ever played around with AMD's MI300A APUs?

apparently #apple sells $700 casters for macs? I put my #NAS on casters today for <$50, including screws + casters + #3dprinted parts, and I definitely could have found some more affordable casters.
fuck you Apple. show an ounce of respect to your customers.

I have been thinking a lot lately about the non-significance of scientific discovery in the broader context of human well-being (or lack thereof).
Life on Mars, LLMs, deep space images: Stunning progress.
But these excitements are reserved only for those with the predisposed comfort to enjoy them.

been thinking about my dream #NAS workstation. if any manufacturer made a tower chassis with 12x hot-swappable 3.5" bays (connected to a SAS backplane) and a pre-built solution that comes with an #intel mobo w the #w880 chipset (LGA 1851, ATX, ECC support) they'd get a lot of my money
