Exciting news!

We'll drop the "experimental" label already in 3.14 beta 3, due on Tuesday!

PEP 779: Criteria for supported status for free-threaded Python

Hi Thomas, The Steering Council (SC) approves PEP 779, with the effect of removing the “experimental” tag from the free-threaded build of Python 3.14. Along with this, the SC considers the following requirements must be addressed during Phase II. Meeting these ensures that free-threading support can mature into a safe and scalable default in future versions of Python. This is not an exhaustive list, and any other previous requirements should still be met. C API/ABI compatibility and Stable ...

Recently a friend asked me why I don't publish my videos on Youtube. I'd get more views.

So I checked my views - and know what: RIGHT, I don't get a lot of views - but most of the #videos on #Peertube show *more* views than I got on Youtube.

Well, the YT algorithm never loved me, I didn't pay for ads, I had no catchy titles (well - I'm not young and pretty either).

But I guess I found my place - **our** place. HERE. - Thanks all of you.

@mxk While I'm absolutely with you with the USA situation I can only give you my interpretation on the kids situation (despite knowing your position very well and understanding that I'm unlikely to change it): It essentially boils down to "Hope dies last".

I'm working and fighting very hard for my kids to have it better than I had it.

Of course, I know that I can only impact a very tiny part of everything that's wrong and it's unlikely that I succeed. But not trying is just not an option for me. I can't accept defeat, yet. If not for me, for my kids.

Otherwise my nihilism would take over and I assume it would create even more damage than preventing the (tiny amount of) damage (I can prevent).

I just submitted a request to DuckDuckGo asking them to add "!gw" as a supported bang for "Google Web" search (i.e. adding &udm=14 to the search so that it takes you directly to the Web tab)

I've been avoiding using !g recently because of the embedded nonsense generator, but it would be useful to have !gw as a fallback for when I don't find something quickly via DDG.

Mal testweise einen Account bei https://www.adventurelog.io/ angelegt. Nach der unschönen Entwicklung bei Komoot schaue ich mir Alternativen an.

Adventurelog ist eher ein Archiv von gemachten tracks und weniger ein Planungstool wie Komoot. Dafür sieht es aber auf den ersten Blick sehr schön und durchdacht aus.

Wer mal die Stimmung über Pfingsten erden möchte, hört in den interessanten wie deprimierenden „Die Peter-Thiel-Story“-Podcast der ARD rein, den es zum Glück auch außerhalb der ARD-Mediathek gibt:

https://www.ardaudiothek.de/sendung/die-peter-thiel-story/14471879/

Die Peter Thiel Story

Peter Thiel ist der Strippenzieher hinter dem kulturellen Rechtsruck in den USA und einer der wichtigsten Unterstützer von Donald Trump. Mit Paypal und Facebook ist er reich geworden. Das ist die Geschichte des geheimnisvollen Tech-Milliardärs.
