More context

In January 2025, the PSF submitted a proposal to the US government National Science Foundation under the Safety, Security, and Privacy of Open Source Ecosystems program to address structural vulnerabilities in Python and PyPI. It was the PSF’s first time applying for government funding, and navigating the intensive process was a steep learning curve for our small team to climb. Seth Larson, PSF Security Developer in Residence, serving as Principal Investigator (PI) with Loren Crary, PSF Deputy Executive Director, as co-PI, led the multi-round proposal writing process as well as the months-long vetting process. We invested our time and effort because we felt the PSF’s work is a strong fit for the program and that the benefit to the community if our proposal were accepted was considerable.

Why don’t Democrats do the “lesser of two evils” thing and pass the government funding bill? People are suffering because of this!

lmao

Most lemmings don’t seem to be able to get past a sophmore level of analysis on politics.

smoked 'em

I think wewbull is saying they would have to expend a lot of energy to have that kind of thought 🤭

Yes.

But this article isn’t about the rank-and-file Republican citizens. It’s about the grifters in elected office.

Haha yes, it just got me thinking, that’s all. Excellent points, thank you.

Thanks for the link. That’s an interesting way of measuring it.

About two-thirds of registered voters identify as a partisan, and they are roughly evenly split between those who say they are Republicans (32% of voters) and those who say they are Democrats (33%). Roughly a third instead say they are independents or something else (35%), with most of these voters leaning toward one of the parties.

Of course we can’t know about adults who are not registered voters, but I would suspect they lean Democrat. I don’t really buy the 50/50 split though because that would be a blowout for Republicans in terms of electoral votes due to FPTP voting. There are also other forms of corruption like gerrymandering that allow Republicans to win elections with a minority of votes.

Yea… I think I don’t get the joke. The poor are absolutely not there by chance, they are poor because the rich steal almost all the value they create through their labor, as well as a vast differential in access and opportunity between the rich and poor, (also a creation of the rich). Is this not an anti-capitalist meme?

Are there many Republicans in the USA? I thought they won elections because they won the areas where votes are more valuable i.e. those places with very low population density. Same with American governance in general, like how California (pop. 39 MM & 732,189 people per electoral vote) has the same amount of Senators in Congress as Wyoming (pop. 587,000 & 192,284 people per electoral vote).

Would you say 1 out of 4 American adults are Republicans? 1 out of 3?

He doesn’t want to get Corbyn’d

Writing in The Jewish Chronicle in November 2018 about antisemitism in the Labour Party, Marie van der Zyl said, “Over the summer, we showed how we could keep this issue of antisemitism on the front pages day after day, week after week, exacting a severe political and reputational cost for continued failure.”[27] In 2019, following Jeremy Corbyn’s decision to resign as leader of the Labour Party, the Board asked candidates for the leadership to sign up to ten pledges in order to “end the antisemitism crisis”. The pledges included a resolution of outstanding disciplinary cases, lifetime membership bans for some individuals, an independent disciplinary process, full and unconditional adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism, and engagement with the mainstream Jewish community. Most of the candidates for leader or deputy leader signed up unconditionally.[28][29]

You and me are allies.

Hell yea we are. Let’s be real though, if we’re in jail we’re not doing shit. We have to stay out of jail to be effective.

But if you live in a city of 300,000 people and 99% don’t know about self-hosting you still have 3,000 people who do. Unite!

XD omg how embarrassing… Kanye and Sankara sound the same lmao

Do you think the analysis of Argentina was accurate?

The better way to make a change would be to become America’s Qaddafi. 1. Pull USA out of Caribbean and Venezuela 2. Use the military to get ICE off the street and prosecute the fascists at all levels of government 3. Transfer power to democratically elected body.

I don’t get why people in power quit out of protest. Then what, a fascist takes their place? Good thinking bozo.

Edit: this came up on my feed, I guess the wiretap is working lol

From barracks to palace: Soldiers who led military coups to become state leaders

“The slave who cannot organize his own revolt deserves no pity for his fate. He alone is responsible for his misfortune if he believes his master’s false promise of freedom. Freedom can be won only through struggle.”

This will just become an excuse to jail you, then. “Unlicensed radio broadcast” or whatever is the equivalent. With those kinds of brutish, authoritarian regimes, anyone of intelligence is a threat that needs to be disappeared, and that includes you poindexter with <checks notes> OsmAnd~ installed on their phone.

Hamas has been willing to hand over governership of Gaza to a Unity Government for over 10 years. When they first made the agreement back in 2014, Israel bombed them. Not in the 2008 Gaza war or the 2012 Gaza war, but actually it was the 2014 Gaza war.
