Once again I demonstrate that I do not know how to use social media, not even Mastodon. Let me try that again properly with the relevant metadata: I have done my first post-ZeroVer release of #DBXS, an #OpenSource #Python raw #SQL #database access library. If that collection of hashtags seems interesting to you, perhaps check it out!

I still have had no reply from the Directors of @NumFOCUS regarding their repeated promotion of events in Israel to a global audience.
I wrote two polite but clear letters after each event.
We see those evil fuckers for who they are.

My university switched to Brightspace as the content management software for our classes. I just finished creating the site for my course in data analysis & visualization. It was pretty easy to pick up the basics of course content creation and structure. I had everything for the course in a Google doc and just copied parts over to the appropriate widgets.

this is pretty crazy to me: nearly 1 out of every 15 files *ever* uploaded to PyPI was published with Trusted Publishing, which we only enabled just over 2 years ago!
that points to both incredible growth in Python's packaging numbers and really remarkable adoption of Trusted Publishing, probably in a large part because of how we were able to make it the default in GitHub Actions.
(currently 984K files published with TP, out of approximately 15M uploaded over all time.)
