AI crawlers have downloaded over 100 TB in the last couple months, partially from bugs and abusive behavior. We ask AI crawlers to include rate and bandwidth limits, and ask them to partner with us to mitigate impact and support our work.

🐍🔐 Python lockfiles are back!
Read @brettcannon's new PEP 751 – "A file format to list Python dependencies for installation reproducibility":
Discuss it:

PEP 751: lock files (again)
This was all last discussed in Lock files, again (but this time w/ sdists!) . Probably the biggest change since the initial post of that topic is adding support for per-package locking instead of only per-file locking (it’s explained in the PEP what …Discussions on Python.org
For August, it’s time for our biggest monthly emote update yet, a week early!
Normally our monthly updates add 500-1,000 new emotes, but I got bored and added 11,419 new emotes. This more than doubles the emote count on this instance, mostly thanks to the Mutant Standard emote pack with 8,294 emotes (almost as many emotes as what we had in July!)
We now have 160 emote packs in all (141 packs excluding those with under 10 emotes). Our total emote count is 19,688 emotes, excluding six legacy name conflicts from years ago (11,394 emotes excluding Mutant Standard).
Expanded packs:
- Added 28 spinny emotes
- Added 5 drgn emotes
- Added 2 neofox emotes
- Added 2 shitty logos
- Added 2 gayspers from pridemoji/emoji.lgbt
- Added 1205 emotes to yinglets by including ying variants (myno, thio, yinglemon, and yinglime)!
33 new packs:
- 8,294 Mutant Standard emotes (excludes ms_robot, in its own “robomoji” pack)
- 25 neobun emotes
- 31 neocube emotes
- 22 miffy emotes
- 378 neobot emotes
- 19 CatPride emotes
- 127 frazzledbynn_pride emotes
- 115 Girls Love emotes
- 40 Fox emotes
- 40 raccoon emotes
- 8 blobrat emotes
- 12 miiverse emotes
- 153 gphn emotes
- 12 Cortex Implant emotes
- 36 blobika emotes
- 30 panda emotes
- 40 Blob Wani emotes
- 35 Blob Tanuki emotes
- 8 Made in Abyss emotes
- 31 Gekota emotes
- 70 blobcat_pndpnd emotes
- 15 blobPebble emotes
- 22 pronouns emotes
- 36 trigger warning emotes
- 51 animated ASL emotes
- 8 TweFox emotes
- 31 pixel cats
- 155 pridemoji (excluding ghosts, which are dupes of the existing gaysper pack; extra ghosts added to Gaysper)
- 84 tinyfaces
- 81 bluemoji
- 104 pixel art emotes
- 15 pentacles
- 55 shrimp
Fixed packs:
I also rebuilt the original neocat, neofox, and drgn packs without any auto-cropping to make emotes line up better, all at 512x512 pixels (still large enough to look good enlarged in MFM but mostly well under 50kb after lossless compression). Proper alignment means you can do this properly:
I ensured all new emotes have unique descriptive names for searchability and non-visual users (except many color variations of part of the shrimp pack, which have number suffixes because I can’t name that many colors! 
). They’ve been losslessly compressed, stripped of non-color metadata, and downscaled if necessary. I upscaled some 32x32 pixel packs with simple nearest-neighbor upscaling to preserve the pixelation. Credits are in the envs pleroma-custom README.

My Uncle Donald Trump Told Me Disabled Americans Like My Son ‘Should Just Die’
Fred Trump III describes conversations with his uncle about people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.Fred C. Trump III (Time)
Despite all my experience, I am sometimes tempted to give certain #software vendors a second chance.
And I was curious to see what the new #AppleMaps could do. Unfortunately, my trial only lasted a few seconds, because neither one of my operating systems nor the browser I use for my daily work are supported.
And so I can say: negative prejudices confirmed, I don't need something like this.

@arutaz Tuta does not use Google Push on Android or iOS. In fact, when implementing the push notification service, we did so in a zero knowledge way - meaning even notifications are encrypted and the server does not know anything about your data.
