> Unlike many community non-profits (including the Python Software Foundation), Ruby Central does not hold elections for their board of directors.

The PSF is a hellhole where everyone tries to cancel each other. People like David Mertz and Steve Holden [1] who supported other cancellations were cancelled themselves. And of course Tim Peters for opposing other cancellations.

You are only secure in the corporate inner circle, just like in Ruby. Even there Google got tired of the antics and fired Python core developers.

You use the PSF to gain influence and get a high salary with minimal work, inside and outside Python.

[1] The one-eyed snake (stuffed animal) "incident" PSF director.

Is he financed by AI money now with the "meat-book" concern trolling? Pure "inevitability".

The privatization and obfuscation of the security industry is worrying.

Google claims to help open source developers, but donates millions to the Alpha Omega Foundation that did not give access to Mythos to Curl and only found one issue.

The Alpha Omega people appear to be selected on physical appearance and take the money away from open source without doing much.

The entire Chrome article is obviously directed at suits and unsurprisingly hypes AI for better promotion chances.
