I don't care you've been using Archlinux for a decade, I don't make decisions. I too had to give up my Arch to comply with the company requirements.

Stop bargaining, I'm here to enforce change, not to negociate with you falling into bad practice to try to keep your lil' env.

TIL that the `uv pip install` is partially faster because it doesn't compile the bytecode for Python packages it installs.

Specifically, it has the opposite behavior than pip: you can ask for byte compilation, it's opt-in rather than pip's opt-out. It actually uses more CPU than pip when you do bytecode compilation! Still faster on my computer cause I have lots of CPUs, but in CI it'd be slower I suspect.

Lack of bytecode compilation means slightly slower startup the first time you run the program (or _every_ time if you're using a Docker image and didn't opt-in to bytecode compile). Probably still worth it given how much faster uv is in other ways.

Trump beendet Klimaabkommen: „Wir werden bohren, Baby, bohren!“ tichyseinblick.de/kolumnen/aus… „Wir sparen über eine Billion Dollar durch den Austritt aus diesem Abkommen“, der Assistent sprach mit Stentorstimme das nach, was Trump ihm souffliert hatte.

Social media has changed. The town square is no longer a place for everyone.

That's why we've posted physical 'X-scape' kits to leading voices at charities, media orgs and universities.

Early adoption of New Social is a great opportunity for the UK's leading institutions and we hope to help them catch up with many of the European organisations who have already turned to open social media.

You see, we are being “invaded” if Trump says so, which in turn grants him extraordinary new powers against the “invaders.” Why would he ever say otherwise?

Just signed up as a volunteer translator with the New York Civil Liberties Union, and the knots in my stomach immediately unclenched slightly. Authoritarians want you to feel helpless, so do something to mitigate the hell that these assholes have unleashed... Among other things, it could do wonders for your mood.

Indeed, just today I read an article about cynicism not being smart. It is in German, but auto translation should be good enough: digitalcourage.social/@rstub/1… The same probably applies to sarcasm as well.
