Did you know @Tidelift is hosting #Upstream tomorrow? 😱 Upstream is a free online-only conference about open source, I'll be in the hallway track for part of the day! Drop in and say hello :ablobcatwave:
This years theme is "Unusual solutions to the usual problems".
The schedule is looking to be great, there's a discussion about "life after xz" with tons of perspectives, a few sessions on public sector and OSS, and of course maintainer-focused sessions too!
@brainwane Yuuup. There were a few points in there too that I hadn't thought about to conclusion as well, like being able to side-step your application's built-in download process and provide it with the file it intended to download that you've fetched through a more reliable process.
It makes total sense to me now that I've read it, but I've always framed the problem as "applications themselves have to do better", but the ability to use a local file improves so many use-cases.
@sethmlarson reminds me of mobile apps. IMO many are bloated/poorly optimized with the assumption that everyone will just keep getting newer phones with more resources
Want to follow along with Nate Ohlson who's working on adopting hardened compiler options for #Python as a part of Google Summer of Code 2024? They're publishing to Mastodon!
It's tough seeing Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door for Switch being released today and so many hyped people and I'll likely need to wait for a week before I can start playing in earnest 😭
@sethmlarson@carlton damn Nintendo is good at making me buy the same games multiple times... First Metroid Prime, now Paper Mario 2. Actually waiting for the remaster of Metroid Prime 2, and especially Metroid Prime 3 since I never played it!
And that's a wrap on #PyConUS for me, what a lovely time. I'll miss you all dearly, let's not be strangers in our sidequests between now and next year 💜
Find me and Github Security Champion Madison Oliver in Room 320 at 2:00PM, let's talk about vulnerabilities and how to make managing them less stressful! #PyCon#PyConUS#PyConUS2024
