Hey, 
@gilahava704Gila and I have cast another pod! For the latest "Modern Technology Watches" she showed me the 2000 ballet school drama "Center Stage."

This would be an incredible image to see if you just woke up out of a coma.

one thing the internet has largely diminished is the abundance of completely baseless advice you used to get. your mum would tell you "wait an hour before swimming or you'll get cramps" or "if someone has the hiccups, shout 'boo!' and scare them to get rid of them" and you'd just believe it.
"hey dad, what do you do if you get a jellyfish sting?" "get someone to pee on it." "okay, thanks!" and then you just tuck that little nugget of wisdom away and repeat it when your friend asks you the same question seventeen years later.
do i still believe that the great wall of china is "the only man-made object visible from space?" of course not. does the phrase "visible from space" with no qualifications on distance or camera technology even mean anything? not really. but ask me to name things you can see from the moon and my immediate first instinct will always be to say the great wall of china.
I'm planning on hosting a discussion at PyCon US about the issues with the initial experience getting started with Python for brand new programmers, who may not intend to become programmers, but want to solve a problem with Python. I plan to discuss a few tools that may improve that experience, along with any gaps that still aren't addressed.
One of the tools I want to include is uv. I'm looking at the docs, and the sort of "getting started" bits of them are far more involved than I would want to provide in this situation. I'm unfamiliar with uv myself, so I'm unclear on what steps would make sense for the situation I've described. I'm hoping someone who is more familiar with it can help me with the specifics here. Basically, once installed, what basic steps are necessary to use uv to go from nothing, to having the latest Python installed, getting access to the REPL, writing my first basic Python script, and running that script?
I realise there are several "Getting started with uv" posts, but I'm looking for something vetted and reliable that speaks to the specific path I listed above. If you are knowledgeable here, and can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks so much!
Note: Please do not send me a "getting started with uv" search link. My statement above covers why I'm not willing to rely on that with my limited knowledge.
I took a few sarcasm classes in high school and I can sort of follow along with a sarcastic movie without subtitles but no, I would not say I "speak fluent sarcasm"
Its a 
@pyconPyCon US 🎨 Day! Painting the ball python patterns on my wood carving (post wood hardener, pre walnut stain, & finish) and started carving my second.
Both carvings are available for auction at the #PyCon US PyLadies Auction.
What do you think the starting bid should be? 😉

@sandstorm Some of the big public grants are really interesting, but you also have to put a lot of work in just to get them, and they usually have tight expectations on how things are spent, how the work is laid out, deadlines, etc.
The biggest thing we got was the FundOSS thing that GitCoin and OSC did a few years back, but especially with the US being the US and Europe cutting back on some grant programs, I think the options are going to get worse, not better.
I DID IT!
Migration from #Hugo to #BSSG almost done. Some links to correct, some CSS stuff to play and will be ready!

i recently got a copy of the second issue of Modern Electrics (vol1no2) from 1908 and stumbled across a neat article inside about an ultra-low current relay

This is some lovely gentle relaxed hip hop from NEI, a collaboration with acoustic duo MIZ. Like Japan and bikes? This is for you 😉
@smallcircles🫧 socialcoding.. @jfredJonathan Frederickson @sandstorm It's really hard, in part because we need money and in part because everyone involved is also super busy and we need time. The upside is Sandstorm works really well with fairly little actual maintenance by design, but I die a little inside any time some project gets fifty times what we'd need to overhaul our whole platform despite being far more mediocre.

@stefanoStefano Marinelli This was also #xfs. I am aware that when it has problems, it *really* has problems lol. But, I've also used XFS on #rhel and #centos 6 and 7 and #Debian without any issues. You are probably correct that it was #suse.
When I ran Tumbleweed and Leap 15 on an older laptop, I purposely went with ext4 and it was unquestionably a smoother experience.
Just curious, which version of openSUSE did you use?
Something made me look at identi.ca, appreciate that

I was probably too optimistic and not clear enough (I _think_ "by 2025" I meant to to include 2025) in https://mastodon.social/@mlinksva/109283673247449829 but still think adding AP support to all historic social software is _at least_ a retrocomputing project that will happen at some point. ⸮Perhaps it should be someone's AI agent benchmark and happen sooner‽

My son comes downstairs with all his medieval garb on and asks if I can take a photo of him with a bow/arrow, for a physics assignment: take a photo of something with kinetic and potential energy, extra points for an action shot. 10 mins later we're high-fiving our nerd success.
Would having a short domain act as a link tree and URL shortener for myself be worth it in this day and age? Is having some domain.tld/github redirect to my GitHub profile as a URL to verbally tell people, have on slides, etc. worth it?
(I know asking to be talked out getting yet another domain and setting up yet another website is probably the wrong ask of the type of people who follow me, but maybe I'll be surprised by the responses. 😉)
For the first time, I have managed to update all eleven of my country #train diagrams for the same year! And it's only May!😊 Represented are: 🇦🇹🇧🇪🇩🇰🇫🇮🇫🇷🇩🇪🇱🇺🇳🇱🇳🇴🇸🇪🇨🇭
I started making the diagrams because I missed the (useful) official ones and wanted a planning guide for my travels. I hope they help you too when travelling through central or northern 🇪🇺 #Europe (or whatever you need them for)!
👉 You find the 2025 train diagrams on my blog: https://larstransportmaps.com/

They want to move it to an independent foundation in the future, so that way there’s more separation. Or maybe also some alternatives too. But it’s one of the things that’s hardest to swap out with your own. Not technically, but socially. What if two versions of the service disagree on who is who!
