For example, here's GNOME the desktop being concerned about climate change:

I understand politics is very divisive, but why is everyone acting like a baby? Just move on. Who cares. Python is a language, who gives a fuck they included a poem about immigration? I'm convinced nobody even found this poem organically anyway, rather one person found it and then sent it around to all their like-minded friends so they can sit around and point and laugh and complain together. You're telling me y'all ACTUALLY found this webpage and scrolled through it organically? Come oooooon.
And yes I did remove python from a big private repo and will argue against it at work when the question arises.
In the more general cases: No idea
No, because as much as MAGA people will proclaim the ideologies don't have equal legitimacy. MAGA tried to perform a coup, are we forgetting this?
A poem about loving thy neighbor or some bullshit is not on the same level of political legitimacy as MAGA. It's not, and you know that. So why bullshit me?
> And yes I did remove python from a big private repo
Great for you. Personally, I think if this was the sole reason you removed Python that's pretty pathetic and you're someone I would consider overly emotional in decision making. But, if it sparks joy for you, then good.
For the record, Python is a shit language and good ecosystem with some okay-ish tools. I think removing python from your projects is probably a boon.
No. Well, I'm not, anyway - despite my skin in the game (https://zahlman.github.io/politics/the-psf/2024/07/31/an-ope...). But I am going to offer harsh criticism of those who abuse their platforms.
This sort of thing is nothing new in Python circles. It notably led to Jack Diederich's resignation from the PSF in June 2020 (https://discuss.python.org/t/the-psf-should-be-less-politica...) and may have contributed to the mass exodus of core devs in November 2020.

My understanding is that a higher standard of discourse is expected on HN.
Also, I rather suspect your tone would be different if you didn't happen to agree with the message. Please consider that such bias is not in keeping with the spirit of the free exchange of ideas or the core principles of open source.
> You're telling me y'all ACTUALLY found this webpage and scrolled through it organically?
Yes. This page is the official, primary means by which the Python team announces a new release of Python. That's kind of a big deal.
I don't agree with the message. I think changing master to main is neutral at best. At best. Once again, I'm just not a baby. Maybe that's not the discourse standard people are used to, but it is language I think we can all understand.
Did they endorse the DNC and I missed it? No, they didn't. Seriously, again - come oooooon.
They did endorse BLM (the organization, along with its very specific message which is not related to the business of writing code). You seem to have missed the link I previously fed you:
