RE: https://fosstodon.org/@kojoidrissa/115902710041419626 @elena @freakboy3742 @attacus @pyconau Kevin may have dissed us and our president IS an idiot, but We The People of “The America” still love y’all down under!

Damn. Kevin dissed us. But, I can't really blame him. Also: this anchor's "editorial voice" sounds VERY familiar. 🤔 https://youtu.be/eKSK4u8xj6s?si=bZUSTWDDcQPRhAh3

What do people use/like for making presentation slides in 2026? I’m on a Mac, so Keynote is always an option, and it's what I've usually used. However, I'm also curious about options to turn Markdown into slides.

Do I know anyone who’s gotten glasses from Warby Parker? If so, what was the experience like, compared to going to a local glasses shop?

@ryancheley @lorenipsum I'm currently surrounded by billboards from Odoo. Odoo is an open-source ERP built with Python. I live in the 3rd most populous county in the world's 3rd most populous country. This makes me think a few things: 1. They have money. 2. They got this money from a thing […]

I'm in the process of setting up stuff on my new work machine and I somehow have THREE different browsers open. Send help.

For my #python folks, this is the best explanation I've seen of `__name__==__main__` https://youtu.be/KZpYtNtGxSU?si=fSlNnlVsgb-IFJbz

@paulox it has been suggested that your team may have gotten funding from odoo (an open source ERP written in Python). Any input? I ask because I'm somehow surrounded by billboards from them (in the 3rd most populous county in the 3rd most populous nation in the world) and I've never heard of a […]

@thibaudcolas @bmispelon @mahryekuh @CodenameTim I'm JUST Saying: they CLEARLY have an advertising budget. AND! They're marketing it as a website builder!! https://youtu.be/liTMRvIwlzI?si=iArQ-tEGBhLeJbgv&t=350

A lot of you know I LOVE me some trains. But this might be a bit much, even for ME!😳 Now, if there was a passenger rail station within a block or two…🤔 https://youtu.be/AmYfoPAZrIk?si=X0KD14H2l5pQZYgg

It's ALSO ok to take a nap. I'm going to do that Right Now. https://hachyderm.io/@selfcare/115787308164283782

When I was a kid, there was a fast food chain that had “Slow…Down” as one of their slogans. Which is kinda funny for a FAST food place. But it’s good advice. #SelfCareSprint For a limited time, you can also get a free 30-day guest pass to try the whole library […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

@mahryekuh A friend had a question about accessibilty books. For a friend of theirs.

When you 3d print some Christmas gifts and the GCODE makes the steppers sound like the start of K-Pop Demon Hunter's "Golden" over and over and over... Have been humming the song again for the whole evening 😂

My entire X timeline is anti-EU posts from people I don't follow. Even if I change it from 'for you' to 'following', it switches back to 'for you' each time I open the site. X is being weaponised against the EU. And unfortunately X is still the public square for European journalists & politicians.

Don't forget! Today is “Volunteer Responsibility Amnesty Day”. https://volunteeramnestyday.net

i started trying to write a small site in Django recently and I think I'm really enjoying it? I've failed to learn Rails a few times but my Django site is set up so that there's a `models.py` with all my models, `views.py` with all my views and it feels easier for me to find things than it was […]

“Claude so hard these agents wanna fine me…but first tokens gotta find me.” - Kay-Z 2025 https://fosstodon.org/@kojoidrissa/115730039318446169

Welp, I exceeded the token usage limits(I think that's how you say it) of my Claude Pro account for the first time last night. So, I'm doing something right. Or wrong. But I'm definitely doing SOMETHING! But it was also clearly money well spent.

I'm probably not going to buy Steam Machine given I highly doubt it will be as upgradable as normal desktops, but I still hope it serve as a chance for a lot of people to try Linux and see how it's feasible for everyday use. (If you want to see that today you can just install Bazzite)

@bmispelon your thoughts? https://youtu.be/f2o48NiCkNE?si=e65OIqf8mcC2Lq88

Canada friends: Do you have any thoughts on J. J. McCullough? I’ve watched his videos on YouTube & Nebula, but I wanted some more insight from Actual Canadians. cc @mariatta @elthenerd @brettcannon

In case anyone else missed it, Python 3.11 added _possessive quantifiers_ to the `re` module which I had never heard of before. https://docs.python.org/3/library/re.html#module-re:~:text=%27%3Ca%3E%27.-,*%2B%2C%20%2B%2B%2C%20%3F%2B,-Like%20the%20%27*%27

Any thoughts from my EU and Canadian peeps? My country isn’t on this list, which is mostly logical. I feel like @mahryekuh will have opinions. https://social.notjustbikes.com/@notjustbikes/115605190282240272

BREAKING: This is huge news, the EU's equivalent of the 🇺🇸Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. 🇪🇺Court of Justice just ruled all 🇪🇺countries must recognise same-sex marriages granted in other member states. This effectively legalises gay marriage across 🇪🇺
