🇸🇪@petrillic Not yet, trust the developers.
@kushal I don’t trust OpenAI period and want nothing to do with them, even indirectly.
I trusted them to choose wisely.
Chris is.@petrillic Of the possible buyers this is very close to my least ideal.
The tool is open source, and has no astral-specific service dependencies. I am going to trust that to the same extent I trust it to keep Linux usable despite the motivations of the contributors. It's forkable.
@petrillic I sure don't *like* this, though. Not one bit.
@offby1 I just can’t see how a company bleeding cash with zero viable map to break even has a positive influence.
@petrillic I agree wholeheartedly; I think there's no chance of a *positive* outcome. I think that in the 2 years since uv became a thing, though, Python packaging has improved immensely and that part will stay with us even if uv itself withers.
Pradyun Gedam@offby1 @petrillic There is python-build-standalone, which solves the "how do I get a functional Python 3.x interpreter" aspect of things. That's basically indefinite ongoing work, as far as I can tell.
LaÃns ⚡🌈🇵🇸@pradyunsg @offby1 @petrillic well, we have been trying to upstream it, so that we can provide our own builds, so hopes to that
thepwnicorn@petrillic I feel vindicated. The tools being developed by a VC company was a giant red flag for me so I stuck with alternatives.
Just van Rossum@petrillic I didn’t pay attention, but I now read that Astral was funded by Andreessen & co. Ick.
@justvanrossum i didn’t realize that. Yuck
