It just clicked in my brain. What I haven't been able to articulate about why I'm so anxious about Recall. I'm sure others have already gotten to where I am.

It's worse than "a system that tracks everything you do" and stores that info in a basic database that could be easily compromised.
It's worse than a nanny surveillance tool for companies to spy on their employees.

It's inescapable.

It doesn't matter if I make a dozen "how to disable recall" tutorials. The second YOUR data shows up on someone ELSE'S screen, it's in THEIR recall database.

It won't matter if you're a master expert specialist. You can't account for EVERY other computer you've ever interacted with. If a family member looks up an old email with your personal data in it, your data is now at risk.

If THEIR system is compromised YOUR data is at risk.

I just went from "vague feeling of unease" to "actively writing templates to canvas elected officials, regulators, and attorneys general."

It's the final week. Backers get a heap of ebooks and whatever version of "Run Your Own Mail Server" they choose.

Me? I lose my dignity. Repeatedly. On video.

I just saw a video where they refer to music artists from 2009 as "old school" and I can't anymore and I'm going to bed.

While I'm still inspired after #PyConUs I'm doing stuff. Are there any good guides on how to contribute to #Python stdlib? Maybe #CPython itself?

@SnoopJ@hachyderm.io avatar

@emocoder there's a bit of information in the CPython Developer's Guide:

https://devguide.python.org/getting-started/pull-request-lifecycle/

There's also a core mentorship program, although I do not know how active it is right now: https://www.python.org/dev/core-mentorship/

@emocoder It's a lot, but there's a bunch of good info here: https://devguide.python.org/getting-started/

Don't get discouraged, the core devs are here to help.

Attending conferences is refreshing.

Among other kinds of energies, to me, it recharges a specific one 🔋

Inspiration.

The motivation to go home and code as hard as possible.
Create new things and improve existing ones.
Use new tools and ideas.

Will do it again on Sunday. Meet at the East Lobby entrance at 7am

Maybe this is how we can win! We shall all go and build ad free aggregators like @nikitonsky did for german cinemas. Websites, that are only designed to make all data accessible to users as quickly and easily as possible.

Any good coffee places in #Pittsburgh near #PyConUs?

hpincket,
@hpincket@fosstodon.org avatar

@emocoder Pittsburgh is full of good coffee places. Convive, espresso a mano, inkwell, de fer, constellation, klvn.

Those aren’t super close to the convention center, but they’re not far on the bus

PyDataPGH,
@PyDataPGH@fosstodon.org avatar

@emocoder De Fer ("dee fair") is one of our favorites. It's in Pittsburgh's vibrant Strip District neighborhood, a 15-minute walk or a 3-minute car ride from the convention center.

Are you coming to US this week in Pittsburgh? I am!

I put together a helpful custom 📍 with the recommended local places from the PyCon US website to help me navigate - hope it helps you too in some way.

If your employer gives this laptop you don’t have to worry about layoffs …

I’ve previously talked about how unlike lots of other big tech companies, Microsoft has a culture “lifers”, people who stay there for decades until they retire.

Here’s a great example, a LinkedIn post from someone celebrating 40 years at Microsoft. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/40-years-microsoft-jean-philippe-courtois-od2se/

The tech job landscape has changed significantly post-ZIRP. It used to be as a foreign worker you’d get sponsored for a green card after working at a big tech for a few years.

But due to layoffs companies have to first make a case for why they laid off an American to then sponsor a foreigner. Many tech companies including Google and now Amazon have paused sponsoring green cards for their employees given this reality.
