I cannot overstate the degree to which "turning only to the gospel for guidance" and "I don't have to accept the pope if I don't like him" are like, Sent Directly To Turbo Hell crimes in catholicism. like that's one to one what we had the wars of religion over that killed like 8 million people lol

your Wii can now do an Authentik device code flow!!! sketch, our lead dev at @wiilink.ca has integrated authentik’s custom attributes to allow us to store Wii console information in user objects directly, allowing for multi-console linking! 🔗 accounts.wiilink.ca

I convinced my company to sponsor @djangocon.us, so this year you will find me at the authentik's booth 🎉 Come say hi! 👋 2025.djangocon.us/sponsors/

Nothing humbles me faster than coding with my CTO: come for the feature, stay for the existential crisis 🙃

Today, global productivity convergence is still a distant goal. We live in a world characterised by persistent and increasing power imbalances, where the rules of the game remain rigged against the Global South. Yet inequality and uneven development are not inevitable. [7/8]

Colonial extraction and unequal exchange have shaped two centuries of North-South inequality. A thread on the new study written with @gatonievas.bsky.social [A thread 1/8🧵]

The first slides of this @pycon.us talk "Processing large JSON files without running out of memory" by Itamar Turner-Trauring are 10/10 👏🏻 youtu.be/th3vsCDhujo?... #PyConUS

"For 142 years, the merit-based civil service survived because both parties recognized that functional government requires professional expertise. That consensus is dead. We're watching the transformation of public servants into party servants, of a government of laws into a government of loyalty."

I have been logged out of my toothbrush.

Found another photo from the Ice Cream Selfie Flash Mob at PyCon US in Pittsburgh. Tag yourself! 😎🍦🤳🏻 That was super fun! Let's do it again! #IceCreamSelfie #PyConUS

#PyConUS Sprints Day 2!

whoever came out to the patio, screamed "FUCK PGP", and went back in yesterday: I feel you. #PyConUS

Also have to applaud @python.org and the community for really investing in bringing new people and experiences to #PyConUS. It can take a lot of intention and work to make a programming conference a welcoming space for everyone to be “good weird” together, and we all benefit.

Not sure how this ice cream selfie will work 😆 #PyConUS @pycon.us

This is going to be the largest ice cream selfie group. Trust me. Photos coming up #PyConUS

The view from #PyConUS is pretty awesome!

... GIL-free options for Python *and* a colourful REPL? Python 3.14 may just be most important release in a year! #pyconus

Here's the full workshop handout plus annotated slides from "Building software on top of Large Language Models", a three hour tutorial I presented yesterday at PyCon US #PyConUS simonwillison.net/2025/May/15/...

Pretty sure there's both a lot of discomfort in this room during Cory Doctorow's keynote and a lot of head nodding... from the same people. #PyConUS

"It's a quote from Mark Zuckerberg, who puts all of his dumbest ideas in writing." #PyConUS

Awesome keynote by Cory Doctriw at #PyConUS about the enshitification of the internet (and life) by the companies to which we submit willingly

On the stage right now Cory Doctorow 🙌🏻 #PyConUS

Ah here's the meme of it:

that a bunch of billionaires have been irreversibly brainwormed by getting addicted to a glorified chat room adds credence to my theory that spending too much time on IRC as a child acts as a powerful inoculant to the worst impulses of an escalatory group dynamic
