Re:PSF has withdrawn $1.5M proposal to US Government grant program
on Friday November 07, 2025 @12:32AM (#45843786)
This was a really stupid move. Isn't the Python Foundation almost exactly $1.5 million over budget?
According to their recent post they only have 6 months of runway before going broke. https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/connecting-the-dots.htm...

Pensions should be outlawed. If employees want retirement savings they should be given money for 401k plans, not outdated and inefficient defined benefit plans.

When will the people of San Francisco wake up and realize that their soft-on-crime approach is wrong?
If SF took crime seriously and actually hunted down criminals and put them in jail then normal citizens could live normal lives.

I really wish we held large internet platforms to the same standards we do to the phone company or the power company. You shouldn't be able to decline service just because you dislike a customer.
It's getting rather scary that the internet is so centralized these days and anyone who speaks out against the Cathedral loses their ability to speak.

Censoring ideas just makes them more popular. If YouTube wanted to do the right thing they'd let people debate openly, instead this will just push people further into their respective echo chambers.

Hey man, I'm one of the developers for VoxSnap and wanted to debug the issue you had. We didn't program anything that would affect the browser history state so I'm a little confused about the issue you saw. Could you let me know what browser you're using and the problem you experienced? Thx, robd003
