schestowitz | "In 2016, Peterson released a series of YouTube videos criticizing the Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code (Bill C-16), passed by the Parliament of Canada to introduce "gender identity and expression" as a prohibited grounds of discrimination.[a] He argued that the bill would make the use of certain gender pronouns into compelled speech, and related this argument to a general critique of political | Sep 26 05:42 |
schestowitz | correctness and identity politics. He subsequently received significant media coverage, attracting both support and criticism. " | Sep 26 05:42 |
schestowitz | "In January 2017, using funds received on Patreon after he became embroiled in the Bill C-16 controversy in September 2016, Peterson hired a production team to film his psychology lectures at the University of Toronto. His funding through the crowdfunding website has increased significantly, from $1,000 per month in August 2016 to $14,000 by January 2017; more than $50,000 by July 2017; and over $80,000 by May 2018.[8][22][48][49] | Sep 26 05:43 |
schestowitz | In December 2018, Peterson decided to delete his Patreon account after the platform's banning of political personalities who Patreon said violated their rules on hate speech.[50][51] Following this, Peterson and Dave Rubin announced the creation of a new, free speech-oriented social networking and crowdfunding platform.[52] This alternative had a limited release under the name Thinkspot later in 2019, and remained in beta testing as | Sep 26 05:43 |

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-mail.python.org | [python-committers] Transfer of power | Sep 26 17:03 | |
schestowitz | Now that PEP 572 is done, I don't ever want to have to fight so hard for a | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | PEP and find that so many people despise my decisions. | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | I would like to remove myself entirely from the decision process. I'll | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | still be there for a while as an ordinary core dev, and I'll still be | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | available to mentor people -- possibly more available. But I'm basically | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | giving myself a permanent vacation from being BDFL, and you all will be on | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | your own. | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | After all that's eventually going to happen regardless -- there's still | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | that bus lurking around the corner, and I'm not getting younger... (I'll | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | spare you the list of medical issues.) | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | I am not going to appoint a successor. | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | So what are you all going to do? Create a democracy? Anarchy? A | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | dictatorship? A federation? | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | I'm not worried about the day to day decisions in the issue tracker or on | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | GitHub. Very rarely I get asked for an opinion, and usually it's not | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | actually important. So this can just be dealt with as it has always been. | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | The decisions that most matter are probably | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | - How are PEPs decided | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | - How are new core devs inducted | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | We may be able to write up processes for these things as PEPs (maybe those | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | PEPs will form a kind of constitution). But here's the catch. I'm going to | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | try and let you all (the current committers) figure it out for yourselves. | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | Note that there's still the CoC -- if you don't like that document your | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | only option might be to leave this group voluntarily. Perhaps there are | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | issues to decide like when should someone be kicked out (this could be | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | banning people from python-dev or python-ideas too, since those are also | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | covered by the CoC). | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | Finally. A reminder that the archives of this list are public ( | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-committers/) although membership | Sep 26 17:03 |
-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-mail.python.org | The python-committers Archives | Sep 26 17:03 | |
schestowitz | is closed (limited to core devs). | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | I'll still be here, but I'm trying to let you all figure something out for | Sep 26 17:03 |
schestowitz | yourselves. I'm tired, and need a very long break. | Sep 26 17:03 |
