OK folks, I need some help from the #Python #OpenSource community.

I need a code review on this: https://github.com/twisted/klein/pull/594

You do not need to have any special qualifications other than a general interest in web frameworks. Experience with Twisted would be helpful but not required.

The #OpenSource alternative to MS #Office365 called #openDesk has now been successfully tested. For now seen as an emergency alternative to the established systems.

It's not even that I like #OpenSource software just for the freedom. Proprietary software keeps getting worse while open source gets less buggy. Just a few months ago I had problems that are non issues now since someone fixed them for free without trying to get me dependant on some subscription service for it.

Tools are already out there working right now for anyone to try.

#Opensource like Mastodon and instantly (without account) #Jitsi is 3-clicks... (ppl can try this on their own too).

Whoever can just tries more from whatever they want. But we 100% need more of this peer mentality between people so they feel "we can really find and do something together"...

I have done this already - From quick/long chats. to listen / lightly moderate / time-keep.

TIL that I've actually created a few "high impact" packages on NPM (with 1+ million downloads per week)... Just got this email from them (see screenshot)

If each one of these would just pay me $0.001, I could actually comfortably dedicate myself full time to these projects (which has been my long, long dream job). But the system and social contract around open source is completely broken and so I've to balance my time and try to sustain myself and my family via other ways for periods of time... and because of that I'm losing existing sponsors, a great vicious circle...

If you want to support my work and 26+ year track record of building, sharing, teaching and maintaining hundreds of open source libraries for a huge variety of use cases (another downfall, since most other projects are much more narrow in scope), please reach out and/or visit:

I'm currently trying out Pachli and it seems that it will become my new main Mastodon client on Android. The interface is very clean and it works great. What I like is that I can customize the fonts and that they offer Atkinson Hyperlegible, which is a very good font in terms of readability.

Great work, @pachli!
