@haskal lol they're just as much a victim as the core dev team, IMO. The PSF and integrations with non-core functionality is pretty harsh.

Python is a lovely language, but some of the seams between tools can be suboptimal, especially with stuff like this. If you're using a notebook, matplotlib is pretty friendly, IMO, but I'm not sure what your use-case is.

@haskal do you want an actual answer? This is my take, at least:

Matplotlib isn't part of the python language. It's not the python core's team to make that integration seamless. Don't blame the python developers, blame the psf for keeping such a scattered ecosystem/loose packaging system.

@neauoire cursor if it's in text mode, pointer if it's arrow-like. I'm more likely to call out entire actions like 'click on this box' or 'select that text'.

we used orca by @neauoire and composed a bunch of tunes & demo’d them. Starless and Carbide got into a harp / keyboard duel. It was absolute magic. Symys won a little lain with headphones patch 😊

In a few hours, my living room will once again be converted into the makeshift clown gym we use to host the #CircusInPlace video chat.

It's a bit like the calm before a very silly storm.

Pop by starting at 8pm UTC-5 (note the time change!) for a night of conversation, circus tricks, and other shenanigans.

re: Cyberia music jam session event reminder 

@c0debabe mumble cyberia.club is the server name, you may need to add an access token to get into some of the channels.

I'm currently being very lazy, but I can get you the details (if someone else hasn't by then) when I finally decide I've had enough of reading space operas in bed and head to the jam session. :)

Improvised music, birds, bowed strings 

A few days ago, we had some beautiful weather for March. Have a little improvised song I recorded outside on my bowed psaltery.

@vortex_egg give yourself permission not to be mad and focus on doing what you can for outreach.

I like to draw accessible, friendly, intro-level comics explaining things I care about and why that give clear, actionable, concise information and guidance appropriate for a broad audience.

The next part is to share those, which I'm not always real great at.

Food, kidney safety 

I know it's a big news day, but I tried starfruit for the first time this morning and it sent me into a hiccuping fit through the duration of my morning meeting. Tiny hiccups every two or so breaths! Eeeee! >.<

Starfruit is tasty, but isn't safe to eat on an empty stomach. Please learn from my hubris.

Cyberia.club live-coding music jam! 


Heya! On Saturday, March 13th at 0000 UTC/1800 CST, the Cyberia Computer Club will be hosting our first Orca jam session!

Come chat with us about it in :cyberia.club on matrix (and for submissions) and find the rest of the details here: cyberia.club/music-jam

We've all been using orca for less than a week, so it'll be real casual and stuff. We're still figuring a lot out. Consider yourself invited! 💙

Heavy metal legends and outspoken copyright maximalists Metallica played a concert on Twitch, only to find their audio replaced with royalty-free chiptune library music by an automated copyright filter:
