![post from @ari@fedi.arimelody.space:
We had a good thing, you stupid son of a bitch. We had open-source. We had right to repair. We had everything we needed and it all ran like clockwork.

In light of recent news from the Python Software Foundation I figured throwing some money their way would be a good move. As of today I'm a Supporting Member of the PSF. Ty @python.org for being an organisation with a backbone
