Please pay attention. Because copitalism is killing people NOW, hurting people NOW, traumatizing people NOW. And if you think your money and housing will keep you safe from the killers, please remember that they're just using the unhoused as a training ground where repercussions don't apply. We are not safe until all of us are safe.

Why a masking policy? “Many of us and our fellow community members can’t attend without health and safety guidelines in place. We want PyCon US to be an event that everyone feels safe attending,” organizers explained.

Well done @pycon https://fosstodon.org/@pycon/112445571644276379

@jalefkowit Hoo boy they buried the lede at the end of the article:

“Ad Age says the ad was created in-house by Apple, rather than by an outside agency.”

Don Draper, lighting a cigarette and taking a drag in his Eames chair:

“They fucked around, and now they’re finding out: If the question is ‘how hard can it be’ the answer is always going to be ‘harder than you think’.”

Today I learned that if your server suspends another server then you just silently unfollow everyone on it and receive no other notification aside from eventually wondering why everything is so quiet now.

Cool, great, love it.
