pep is wrong then https://peps.python.org/pep-0008/#string-quotes

I’m in the habit of single quotes. Don’t really know where it came from, but it also doesn’t require shift, so I’m going to say its easier. It really messes me up when I switch to C.

I’ve touched on a few similar themes myself (see my doppelganger) https://yiffit.net/post/3113251 and https://yiffit.net/post/11919426 Since those posts I’ve joined in a few other places online and I’m not sure I really feel a part of those groups, but I do feel free to just be me there (here too usually). In person stuff hasn’t really changed though. I’ll disagree with omegamouse on one thing, I don’t think the lockdown has as much impact as they think. The bubble building and online validation had been building for a long time, I think it was more of a correlation as opposed to a causation.

For self hosting there is also https://forgejo.org/ which is a fork of https://about.gitea.com/ , the latter of which started to shift to a corporate model.

I don’t know if this is part of the case, but browsers basically control standards, and with the size of chrome, that means google controls the standards. The browser is a big aspect of the ad pipeline. Because they have the browser they could direct page views to themselves more than they do by using amp links. Even with blocking cookies and such, chrome still sends data back to google. There was the whole logon scheme they were pushing (I don’t remember the name) that only chrome would be able to do. There is a lot you can direct to yourself if you control the main access method.

What gets me, is they seem like 90%+ advertising and pop culture (probably paid promotions), yet they pass themselves off as news.
