Python, one of the very few modern & popular programming languages not owned by big tech, is now begging hard for money at python.org (picrel), Wikipedia style.This comes after the PSF rejected an US government grant because the PSF can't stop shilling for DEI: https://developers.slashdot.org/story/25/10/28/211237/python-foundation-rejects-government-grant-over-dei-restrictionsThe same PSF then reported a surge of new donators following the above rejection: https://developers.slashdot.org/story/25/11/09/2017240/python-foundation-donations-surge-after-rejecting-grant---but-sponsorships-still-neededYet, they are now begging for money, using a big, intrusive and cringe banner at python.org, kek.This is what your donated money is used for: https://www.python.org/psf/grants>Conferences (e.g. PyCon Italia)>Event site subscriptions (Meetup.com) (e.g. London Django Meetup)>Django Girls Workshops (e.g. Django Girls Busan Workshop)>PyLadies Workshops (e.g. All Day PyLadies Workshop)These faggots have a whole page dedicated to their DEI philosophy: https://www.python.org/community/diversityTheir Libera Chat #python IRC channel is filled to the brim with trannies (they/them and she/her pronouns set as their IRC name).Python started getting infiltrated back when the PSF was created (what a shock).>Since late 2012, the Python Software Foundation started recommending that all Python conferences create and apply a code of conduct. This is mandatory to any event to be granted funds by the Python Software Foundation.
>>107609034Nigger the PSF takes money from Intel and NVIDIA
>>107609045No shit, sherlock. They take money from anyone throwing money at them ala the US public lobbying system.Not the point of the thread, the point of the thread is that they are now begging for money in the same fashion as that bum from Wikipedia.
Bump. This needs to draw way more attention and not just be archieved. Our softwares are being written and run with these programming languages.
...
bumping to preventing from getting archived.
If it's a foundation, they need to publish their books right?Same as with wikipedia, where you can see that they are filthy rich and spend a very low amount on actually running the website
I only donate to the FSF, because it's the only FOSS organization that accepts Monero—so I know it's not run by anti-crypto troons or glowniggers.https://www.fsf.org/about/ways-to-donate
>>107609940I think they do publish them, which is probably the reason they are running out of donators. You can see some of the faggot shit they promote (and finance) at https://www.python.org/psf-landingpicrel>3rd Annual AfroPython Conference 2025>PyCon Kenya 2025Grants:>pyladies>django girls>The PSF also possesses and protects intellectual property associated with Python and the Python community, such as the word "Python," the two-snakes logo, and the terms "PyLadies" and "PyCon.
>>107609978based, this is new, they didn't have it last time I checked
>>107610064I checked them out as well. They seem to be bleeding money on pycon and pycon related expenses.From a quick scan of this thread (locked of course)https://discuss.python.org/t/psf-grant-shutdown-publish-financial-statements-since-2022-now/103390they might be doing some handwaving to make the bleeding seem less bad.Anyway, the most profitable years were during covid, when there was no physical conference, so that substantiates the claims.Also, looking at where the 640k in grants go, its 40% to pycon, and 32% to travel.TLDR, they should scale down pycon,
