You don't need to read much history to find plenty of bad things done by non-commercial entities, e.g. governments. Or churches.

It's not commerce that is the problem, it is oppression. Use of my code for oppressive purposes is the thing I want to avoid.

 

Gevent seems pretty straightforward. Check out this example:

Here is a tutorial.

Unlike asyncio, with gevent you can continue to use the libraries you're familiar with, and the exact same codebase can be run with or without gevent "enabled". You don't need special async versions of each library, as you do with async/await code.

What are the issues you ran in to while using gevent, that asyncio solved?

Why did AsyncIO take off when we already had gevent?

Wanna see something that makes even Perl look elegant and readable? Check out any sed script. Here's tetris, in sed: https://github.com/uuner/sedtris/blob/master/sedtris.sed

 

It's really important for those of us who've lived through previous megacorp attacks on free software ecosystems to TEACH that history.

This article rehashes a lot of relevant stuff in some detail. Regardless of what you feel about the decisions around the fediverse and Facebook, knowing the history can only help.

When we learn from history, we are NOT NECESSARILY condemned to repeat it.

I wonder if Gab was invited. It would be hilarious if the only instances willing to federate with Meta were Nazis.

Yes, it can provide a SSL connection to the end-user even though you're just serving http with no cert. However it is yet another moving part that can break or be mis-configured and yet another bunch of capitalists data-mining all the things.

Naaah, Caddy is way simpler than Apache. It'll be much easier. Take a quick look at the docs and you'll see what I mean.

 

ChatGPT-based chatbots can now call your custom code to get information it doesn't know. e.g. current weather, scrape the web, access APIs, etc.

I've added a #Python ( #Flask ) demo of this to my chatbot quickstart repository.

This seems ideal for something like ActivityPub where data is flowing between different people and places all the time. Looks like the tooling isn't there yet, though.

I have a Yoga 530, running KDE 5.24.4. The touch functionality is really broken, basically unusable. Try Gnome, anything is better than this.

Those are all politics.

But, 4 months out from an election, pretty much every single post in !newzealand is going to be politics. There's no way to fight that, for now.

Total rage bait. Barry Soper is trash.

On One News this evening they were very clear that other factors (such as how long they've been waiting, how sick the person is) are still more important than the patient's ethnicity.

The key thing is that clinical priority absolutely predominates the score anyone gets.

None of this was mentioned in the NZ Herald piece. Barry Soper, the author, is a political hack who should not be trusted. He gives journalism a bad name and discredits the publication he writes for. I absolutely can't stand the guy and am disappointed in anyone who uncritically promotes his work.
