On organization standing up for their (good) values?! Donation made.

I encourage other people making bigtech salaries to do the same if you use Python. The work the PSF does helps me make a good living, I can throw some back to them! If you can match at your employer, even better.

Also, you should be a member, too.

"discriminatory equity ideology"

George Orwell, your time has come!

It would be great if you can provide an additional donation option for European people (or even better a European association or via an European Association, such as alasca.cloud/en/). Europe has a very efficient high-speed (less than 10 seconds you have it) bank transfer system (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_E…) at much lower costs than credit cards/paypal.

With a European entity you could also apply to @sovtechfund for grants without sacrifying your values.

"promote DEI, or discriminatory equity ideology"

That is some "creative" re-framing they got going on there...

Doing the right thing you “lost out on this large funding source.” But know that people doing the right thing never lose anything. For them it is a win-win because it is the right thing to do especially because it is the right time to do the right thing!

The upside is that we as part of the PSF community, we appreciate your bravery and will support you however we can!

My company is pretty much built on #Python.

We just made a significant donation to the PSF in recognition to their great work on the language, of which a small but important part is their commitment to fairness (or "DEI" as USians call it).

If you can, you can donate any amount at psfmember.org/civicrm/contribu….

thanks.

more power to you all.

Donated.

I'd be inclined to interpret this provision as saying that you can't run any DEI programmes that break the law and then insist that your programs don't break the law, but with that clawback provision it's just not safe. You could even have them review and OK your programmes, but you could never trust them not to blackmail you later.

It requires the intake of a significant amount of drugs to understand, how promoting diversity, equity and inclusion is violating an anti-discrimination law for being considered some discriminatory equity ideology.

Understanding #fascist and #populist rhetoric requires oneself to ignore the established meaning of words making communication useless and solely focus on the sounds they make. It's like apes grunting at each other.

I would really love to support you.

But currently I cannot, because you share my PII with the US authorities which will have a negative on me and every supporter who might want to enter the US going forward.

Sorry
