From a few more minutes in:

> Your community is like a bus. People get on, people get off. And some people watch the bus go by, and it takes a few go-rounds; a few people talking about how nice the bus is before they decide to try the bus out. You want those people to feel welcome.

This is great stuff. Definitely worth a watch / listen. (I'm not going to do a play-by-play here, but I may post another quote or two.)

Stumbled across a video from a channel I'd never seen before (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbfBhwkEQ_M), which turns out to be (as I understand things) a pretty big departure from his usual topics. Enjoyed it (always fun to see people enthusiastically recommending other people's media), decided to check out another video or two, and I am 100% sold on the first 10 minutes of his recent video simply titled "Community" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emdki5B_O7Q).

📺 The House (2022)

Well that's ... weird. But also, stop motion.

I remain bored of the rhetoric that installing software on a computer you own is "sideloading", "jailbreaking", or any other it-doesn't-belong-to-you term.

📺 Search Party

At some point, this got added to Netflix. If you haven't seen this show and newly have access to it, it is very much worth a watch.

I tried to join a Discord server that required that I verify my phone number in order to post. I'm on board with spam prevention and moderation tooling, but I don't trust them (or many others) with that data.

I'm probably not the person to contribute this upstream to `pip`, but I would certainly cheer on the person who is.
