I would like to publish an app, but I feel like I've heard stories about people having some kind of issue and their entire Google account gets yanked, which would be... bad.

Do folks worried about this make a separate google account just for this? Does it help at all if you get banned?

I suspect this will not be likely to affect me given that my app is basically just a repackaging of an open source PWA app with no permissions requested, no ads and fully open source, so I am not too worried, but I also feel weird using my personal account for anything else.

i’m looking for a word for “person stumbles into attractive nuisance and starts propagating it as the next best practice”

Days since running coverage on tests found a bug in the tests: 0

This time, a generator had already been exhausted, before we tried to iterate over it. The lack of coverage highlighted the problem.

Fireworks witnessed. I am confident that we are safe from the British for another year.

Being a museum attendant seems very boring, so to make their jobs more interesting, whenever you walk out of a gallery with a lot of people going into it, loudly say to your companions, "My favorite part of that exhibit was how you were allowed to touch all the art!"

#Python

Are you in Boston and want to hang with #Python people? Boston Python's project & collaboration night is June 24th. It's an informal gathering to talk together, work together, learn from each other, network, whatever. Tell your friends :)

The "faster CPython" team at Microsoft was recently dissolved. My position at Microsoft was eliminated. If anyone has a reason to be disappointed in this, it's me.

So it feels okay for me to ask you to refocus any disappointment you might have about Microsoft's decision. Let's be grateful for a big Python user actually laying down meaningful cash for 4 years in support of a volunteer-driven community project! Let's express our frustration instead in how that doesn't happen more often!

General PSA: don’t apply for a job at Canonical. Do NOT apply for a job at Canonical. Treat the blatantly artificially enormous number of job openings they post as the mirages of trickster fae. They are unhinged. Mark Shuttleworth is unhinged. They will drag you through the mud, disrespect you and your time, and definitely not give you a job. This article I saw today is like the thirteenth of its kind that I personally have seen dustri.org/b/my-experience-wit

I was poking around the Mastodon APIs and I can't find a way to have a bot hide individual posts for me, only update my filters list. Am I missing something?

Fun fact: *Primer* (2004) is all three of these!

My #PyConUS keynote, with all the hand drawn doodles and animations: youtu.be/Bglsof9b23k

Interesting to see how everyone is lamenting the demise of Pocket, but I haven't seen anyone mention that when Pocket was added to Firefox it seems like a lot of people were up in arms about how a proprietary service was being forced on Firefox users.

I'm guessing it's different people in each case but I'm a little surprised to see no one saying, "Good, we all hated that thing anyway" (since that had seemed like the common sentiment before the shutdown - I never heard anyone praise Pocket before this).

Just want to say congrats to @elthenerd and @jonafato for their successful first year chairing PyCon US 👏🏻 Very well done! I hope you all get to take a break now before starting to plan next year's conference 😊
#PyConUS

I'll be at #PyConUS sprints today and Wednesday.

I am beginning the process of replacing my ThinkPenguin laptop battery in case anyone here wants to help - am in room 308 currently.
