💯 This.
I have zero regrets promoting UV and Rust. Ty never quite bloomed to be useful to me.
I think Charlie and Astral did Python a huge service, and I appreciate their journey. The project isn't ending, and its are open source, which means we can write our own ending if we don't like how the story ends. (Unlike that crappy GOT series finale.)
I look forward to seeing where it goes and to the tool that comes after UV and eventually replaces it. This is the open source way.

I’m still looking for resources here if you know of any (tl;dr a company threatening debt collection over an account they admit is not mine).
I suspect a single piece of correspondence on law-firm letterhead resolves this, but for every firm I've talked to the dollar amount at issue is too low to even justify talking to one of their attorneys.

I was made redundant a couple weeks ago. From a school I’d worked at for 15 years, They gave us 5 days notice
Fortunately, I’m a member of a union. As were all the other teachers.
Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) were with us every step of the way. They made sure it was all above board, kept our dodgy bosses in check, & even helped us negotiate an enhanced redundancy package
So if you haven’t already, join a union

At this point I'm convinced that there's something deeply wrong with how our society treats technology.
Ruining Android for everyone to try to maybe help some rather technologically-hopeless groups of people is the wrong solution. It's unsustainable in the long run. Also, the last thing this world needs right now is even more centralization of power. Especially around yet another US company. (1/2)

Bluesky Reveals Massive Hidden Investment

So the answer to the big mystery Who Owns Bluesky? (https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/116025246450023071) is finally out. Crypto VCs.
Now, we should be asking why did this company that prides itself on transparency and "decentralization" decide they needed to hide who owned the company?
