It's been a while since I've checked in here. What's new in Mastodon land over the last few months?

Great resource for anybody who maintains or is considering maintaining a Python package: https://learn.scientific-python.org/development/ (doesn't have to be scientific)
Dr. Damien P. Williams, MagusThere's yet another "AI will kill us all! It poses a risk of extinction!" letter going around, and I just… Y'all i am just so fucking tired.
CAPITALISM poses risk of extinction (climate change, right the fuck now).
WHITE SUPREMACY poses risk of extinction (genocide, eugenics).
HEGEMONY poses risk of extinction (nuclear FUCKING WAR).
And whatever "risk of extinction" "AI" poses, it poses because it is BUILT FROM THOSE EXTREMELY HUMAN VALUES.
Even if you stopped every "AI" project running, RIGHT THIS SECOND, those values would still kill us. And no matter how long you "pause" your "AI" projects, if you don't address those values? Then when you start your "AI" back up? You'll KEEP BUILDING THOSE SAME VALUES IN.
This is not hard. At this point, as much as it pains me to say it, it's not even novel. And yet you're still not fucking getting it.
I'm so goddam tired.
#ScraperFC has a Discord! Invite is https://discord.gg/C5N8dqCJAq. It's not just for chatter about the package. I want it to be a space where people can talk about the projects they're working on, bounce ideas around, and chat about general going-ons in the soccer world. Come check it out!
David ColburnTFW you follow a bunch of Brits for their #football banter and suddenly your timeline is full of #Eurovision chat that you don't understand. #MastodonFC
If you use #ScraperFC to scrape the Big 5 combined league on FBRef you're going to want to update to v2.7.0 or pull the most recent commits from the git repo.
The layout of the squad and player stats is different the the Big 5 and the tables were not being parsed correctly.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.These votes were 10 days apart.
North Dakota GOP:
•Voted NO on free school lunches for hungry kids😳
•Then Voted YES on free breakfast, lunch, & dinner for themselves🤔
I’m beyond enraged at these cruel backward MAGA extremist politicians. These are the same cruel politicians who suppress the poverty wage at $7.25. We need federal legislation to ensure children don’t go hungry. Absurd. A special place in hell.

Shambolic MatterDog: I think you are underestimating how much I am helping
Me: What are you talking about?
Dog: You COULD have overslept and I made sure you got up on time.
Me: You woke me up an hour before my alarm went off.
Dog: See! Helping!
Laura PackardSix years ago today, I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, Hodgkin’s lymphoma. After six months of chemotherapy & a month of radiation treatments, here I still am.
The Affordable Care Act paid for the treatments that saved my life. But Republicans are still attacking it.
