What is a Python topic that isn’t usually covered in depth that you’d like to see covered? Thinking up talk ideas.

@WholesomeMeme being suspended but @/libsoftiktok still being up after all the horseshit they pull truly shows that @twittersupport really is no better than Facebook when it comes to meaningful steps towards combating right wing extremism.
Fuck em’.

* Always provide yours when proposing a meeting.
* Make sure you get your prospect’s name right.
Why yes, this is related to a sales interaction I just had. Why do you ask?
Dear @apple - I would very much like you to stop sending me push notifications from Photos encouraging me to look at an auto-curated slideshow of my dead cat.

It’s happened again; here’s everything I’ve been able to capture from the tips people provided last time: https://gist.github.com/freakboy3742/04318a1677c08fe42be8c6b23e53e9c1

Brains trust - I’ve started seeing something *really* weird. Twice in the last week, my macOS machine has stopped running shell scripts. e.g:
#!/bin/sh
echo “hello”
will start, but not finish, print anything, or generate an error. It’s fixed by a reboot. Ideas?

Yep. Apps need to use native OS metaphors. Users don’t care about the unified codebase. Apps need to look like the system they are running on. https://twitter.com/0xTim/status/1554189463152201728

Do you:
– Use Python or pip behind a corporate proxy?
– Use an internal / custom CA?
– Run an internal PyPI repository?
If yes then we need your help to test the future of trust stores in #Python. Please RT and share this article with others for reach 🙏
