This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Especially in light of how incompetent this administration is, and how bad it is at clearly communicating ideas, they made the only sensible choice. Maybe there's more details in the grant terms itself, but from the article it looks like it just says "don't advance or promote DEI", and without explicitly defining what they mean by that they are setting up a trap.
PyPI is smart not to take the money.
For the record, it also say that they should not violate any anti-discrimination federal laws.
Good for them, standing on principle 😁
It’s a purchase of No DEI, not a donation.
Good on ya, Gents.

Who is the person downvoting the two comments in here???
I mean, votes are public in the fediverse. I wouldn't try to read into the reasoning from a single downvoter too much though.
One downvote could be accidental. 2 downvotes in the same thread makes that seem less likely.
Downvoting/Upvoting doesn't mean the same thing that it does for everyone. Some use it as an agree/disagree. Some use it for whether a comment is productive and adds to the conversation or not. Some use it as a visibility score whether they think a comment should be seen by others first or whether there are other comments that are better. Some may agree with most everything in a comment except for one part and then downvote because of that.
I thought the point of the system is to mark down out of context comments that doesn't contribute to the post and not a I disagree button or super upvote.
That might be the point of the system but in reality it is definitely used for like/dislike. Someone says that they like Windows and/or dislike Linux and they are guaranteed to get downvotes.
Well, this isn't exactly stackoverflow...!
It is rare for things to be out of context...
Really, upvotes and downvotes are more or less... just... whatever made most people satisfied enough with a comment that they wanted to say they dis-/-liked it.

Seems like an okay dude. Might even be one of my alts gone rogue. Dunno why the downvote
Probably someone on the White House's payroll who has a micropenis.
This isn't the first time I've seen this meme; but what's it from?
Batman Beyond. Takes place in a cyberpunk futuristic Gotham City, which feels like a natural direction that the crime ridden corrupt old city would transition into a new, technocorporate cyberpunk city full of crime.
