@brettcannon Average speed increase/decrease numbers are kinda hard to judge. Kind of a different story if it does stuff like making tuple creation slower but numpy is unaffected or something.

@hynek To be fair no one seems to be saying I should actually start skipping back day. My doctor didn't suggest it or anything, so I guess it probably wouldn't help anyway.

@hynek Me right now...

Do you use #linux and #keepassxc?

I am wondering if you also see this behavior: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/issues/9438#issuecomment-1564883094

If you don't, what OS and desktop environment are you using?

@hynek Yeah, that is indeed the problem. I've got too much to do and every time I try and accomplish the last task with 2.7 support I'm bogged down with a bunch of CI bitrot, which all bitrots again before I make much progress on the final PR.

@hugovk Self-hosted CI

@hugovk Ugh. I guess I know what I'll be doing instead of actually working on getting `dateutil` 3.0 out next time I have free time to work on open source.

This is the one place where ChatGPT has seemed useful to me, by the way. When I try and use it for anything Python-related, it's worse than useless because I know Python stuff *way* better than ChatGPT, and it's faster for me to just do it myself anyway.

When I'm trying to get a handle on super basic questions, ChatGPT seems to be kind of OK at explaining things in such a way as to unblock me.

Not that I think that there's something we or they could be doing a ton better. I'm sure there are reasons for why it's all confusing and disorienting.

Spending time trying to contribute to open source Android applications really brings me a lot of empathy for new Python users.

I barely understand what I'm doing. The packaging ecosystem seems complicated and I don't understand it. When I try and upgrade versions a bunch of stuff breaks. The documentation refers to a bunch of stuff I don't understand, and seems relevant only to newer code bases.

@paulox @fdroidorg @AntennaPod So it seems like the issue is that you need to have some sort of service that defines a `MediaBrowserCompatService` or something. Not sure I've got it all the way, and my task seems complicated by the fact that Android 9+ doesn't allow you to start a background service that has access to the microphone, and it seems that whatever I have done is trying to do that‽

@hynek @glyph @offby1 Not sure what this one counts as, but it's probably #rule34...

@hynek @glyph @offby1 Just checked when I saw this and there were some very explicit drawings in the 5th post I saw. It's probably 5% of my federated feed, and that's including all the filters and instance muting I've done.

Long shot, but anyone with Android / Android Auto experience know what's going on here?

@adamchainz Overall I really like it, though it's the only cargo bike I've ever ridden. I'd like it if I could go faster (motor cuts out at 20mph, I can get up to 27 going down a hill).

My wife has an Aventon abound, I've ridden that a few times. It's not as good and the acceleration curve is a bit jerkier for my tastes, but she likes hers more than the Urban Arrow. She doesn't have nearly the same storage capacity as I have, but she can take both our kids if she needs to.

Plus it's *dramatically* cheaper.

@adamchainz I bought it back in December and I've put 800 miles on it already. I just got the snow tires off and apparently the steering column had too many bearings in it, so now my steering is much more smooth 😅
