Mehrere Dinge können wahr sein. 1. Solidarität mit Menschen in Gaza ist nicht automatisch antisemitisch. 2. Es gibt in der Bewegung aber viele Antisemiten, die alle Juden aus der Gegend vertreiben wollen und auch Juden in Diaspora angreifen 3. Es gibt Antisemitismus in allen Parteien

In light of the PSF's recent loss of an NSF grant and attendant funding shortfall, I will be matching donations up to $5000. Send me your receipts. Very happy if you've already donated for similar reasons but the point is to motivate *new* donations so be sure the timestamp is after this toot 😉.

Normally, one of my boundaries with the open source & Python world is that I already give away so much in terms of code & time, that I do not donate cash. Partially this is out of concern for my family; I am obviously much more embedded in this community than my kid or even my spouse (who does […]

the biggest problem we *already have* in open source right now, which we have oversimplified into the term "supply chain security", is the lack of understanding that putting a dependency in your project's dependency set (package.json, pyproject.toml, requirements.txt, cargo.toml, etc) is not […]
