Hello, Hivemind - looking for recs for a Python IDE, ideally with no AI tools embedded.

Practice: "I need to convince the client that unit tests are a worthwhile thing to have."

Wait, it is bridgy... But you've been able to give the Bluesky end a proper @domain.tld handle. Hmmmmm
@johnofrobotz fedi infrastructure is too expensive to scale beyond westerner who are tech savy, rich or well connected. In it's current form it is vowed to turn into fodder for corporate AI training. This is not my wish. It is the sad reality. Fediverse is awesome purely because of it's people. I reaöly hope they'll see what I see without having tp learn the hard way.

US Americans are, slowly but surely, learning what it’s like to be a citizen from anywhere else in the world at a border crossing. Top of the NYTimes is how to get and (gasp) pay for a UK ESTA:

Ve spacím vlaku na Slovensko s prknem na hory. Totální ostalgie - lehátkový vagón ve stylu 70tých let... osamělý kousek Československa, co zůstal v provozu...
Celkově jsou noční vlaky ale super řešení.

Ein bisschen bin ich gehypet!
Truer words have rarely been spoken.
kann irgendwer mit ein bisschen ahnung von ingenieurswesen (?) im entsprechenden bereich mal was zu dieser meiner idee schreiben? und zwar:
wir stellen bei uns allen elektrolyseure statt wärmepumpen in die keller. die erzeugen wärme zum heizen und der entstehende wasserstoff wird übers gasnetz ab- und „der industrie“ zugeführt.
bin mir sicher, da ist irgendwo nen ziemlich offensichtliches problem, bin normalerweise nicht so clever, dass ich als erster auf sowas komme. aber was ist es?
danke 😘

This is bad. This is very, very bad.
I'm not trying to pick on Python here, I pick it because Python is something I'm actively using, and so I have a vested interest in the project *not* being AI-vulnerable.
But it's not good, chat. It's very far from good, in fact.

A big thank you to 
@deadsuperheroSean Tilley for facilitating a dedicated NHAM Peertube account on 
@spectraSpectra Video: https://spectra.video/a/nham/video-channels
I’ve now ported all NHAM related videos to that account from my personal one.
Currently there are two channels in the new account:
- NHAM Official (https://spectra.video/c/nham_official/videos) with gigs, music videos, talk shows and more.
- Lorenzo’s Music Podcast (https://spectra.video/c/lorenzos_music/videos) where we syndicate 
@tmrayTom Ray’s fantastic 
@lorenzosmusicLorenzo's Music podcast episodes that are relevant to the Fedi Music scene.
Do give the new account’s channels a follow if you’re interested in #FediMusic.
Thanks also to 
@peertube for the latest release which made all of this really easy for us to do.
"Kyle Fish, who leads model welfare research at Anthropic"
Journalism is hard. How can you write that sentence without wanting to shoot yourself in the head 4 or 7 times.
Yeah sure. Your bucket of statistics needs a spa day. Dipshits.
