I'm really loving how Mastodon has become a refuge for all the grizzled seafarers on the ocean of the internet. They pop up in my feed and their bios all say something like
"I've been online for longer than the internet. I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. 56k modems on fire in the light of Usenet. I watched IRC forks glitter in the dark near the Gateway 3000. All those moments will be lost in slop, like tears in rain. Time to deshittify."

Coming soon to Python 3.15: frozendict
The Steering Council has just accepted @vstinner and @dongheena's PEP 814 "Add frozendict built-in type".
https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-814-add-frozendict-built-in-type/104854/121
After careful deliberation, the Python Steering Council is pleased to accept PEP 814 – Add frozendict built-in type. The absence of an immutable dict counterpart has been a long-standing gap in Python and has been requested for a long time in different forms. We agree this is a clear net positive for the language. We are accepting this PEP with the following modifications: Performance should not be framed as a goal or motivation. The value of frozendict is in its immutability semantics, not i...
I think it's interesting how software engineers are (among?) the most eager working class group to replace themselves with LLMs.
It's interesting because LLMs do a worse job than us, we lose ability/skill to do our job the more we use it, lose our jobs, produce worse software, are less satisfied with our work, etc.
Yet so many of my peers seem to be super excited about and advocate for it, while other working class groups at least detest LLMs if not even consider organising themselves to protect their trade/jobs from LLMs.
Are we becoming the cops (read as: class traitors) of this techno-fascist dystopia?

Unified chargers, free roaming, travel, study and work everywhere in the EU, simple bank transfers with SEPA and Wero. EU makes life better. It' definitely not GoodEnough™ in all parts.Work remains to be done. And that's worth doing!
