Some people in the #Python community seem to have some people upset at the PSF taking money from Anthropic. This baffles me a great deal because one of the biggest issues facing the OSS community in general is that big companies make their money from the hard work of the volunteers who build the OSS. This is a company - yes, a somewhat distasteful one but, IMO, no worse than Amazon, Google, or Meta - giving back to the community. This is what we are asking for. #FLOSS #OpenSource

One of the best things I've found since I started contributing to OSS software is that I'm using my skills to scratch an itch. Sometimes it's mine. Sometimes it's someone else's. But there's always a human being (or sometimes more) that directly benefit from the changes I'm making. This is why I got into software engineering. This is what makes things better. #FLOSS #OSS #Python

Can someone recommend some light reading on GitHub actions for beginners? I’ve never actually really used them before. #Python

@npub1lyn6...ve6v Can I give you a feature request? Allow us to change the visibility of posts via edit. If the visibility is changed do the "delete & edit" behind the scenes. It would be a better user experience!

I keep forgetting how to write 51, 6, and 500 in roman numerals. I am livid!

I submitted my talk proposal for #PyConUS and I'm kinda nervous. I don't know if I'm more nervous if I get selected and have to actually write it or to find out that I wasn't selected. Have you submitted your proposal yet? Still about 2 hours left!
