  • I actually saw these comments before they were deleted.

    It was a post listing a bunch of resources for trans people to use to digital protect themselves in light of the election. One example is it suggested Matrix instead of Discord.

    On the list it included a couple trans-friendly Lemmy instances. IIRC the 3 instances listed were from blahaj.zone, lemmy.ml, and hexbear. A couple people commented that they liked the idea but didn’t like the inclusion of hexbear.









  • The reason you do stuff in a venv is to isolate that environment from other python projects on your system, so one Python project doesn’t break another. I use Docker for similar reasons for a lot of non-Python projects.

    A lot of Python projects involve specific versions of libraries, because things break. I’ve had similar issues with non-Python projects. I’m not sure I’d say Python is particularly worse about it.

    There are tools in place that can make the sharing of Python projects incredibly easy and portable and consistent, but I only ever see the best maintained projects using them unfortunately.
