https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism:

Socialism is an economic and political philosophy […] characterised by social ownership of the means of production, as opposed to private ownership.

I’m not gonna lie, I don’t think a common-good healthcare regulation or whatever housing plans fall under the definition.

Edit: there’s some merit to this you could’ve brought up, e.g. Germany’s mandating by law of some (limited) worker control in firms ≥500 employees in size (wikipedia link). But even that’s breaking with the definition, since it’s not about ownership, but rather a say in leading the company.

Edit: had gotten the first name wrong

it’s so easy to host an ActivityPub server oneself

Tell that to the 60+ y/o’s in charge who dread email.

Hell, at this point I’d be content with gov’t institutions using a literal blog website for stuff like this… as long as it’s publicly accessible.

My real issue with Python comes with managing a development environment when multiple developers are working on it. Dependency management in Python is a headache, and while in theory, virtual envs should help with synchronizing environments from machine to machine, I still find it endlessly fiddly with a bunch of things that can go wrong that are hard to diagnose.

Late to the party, but a serious suggestion; give uv for Python dev env/package management and ruff (or Black, for that matter, if you’re not using a formatter yet like some others here in the comments) for linting/formatting a shot.

They’re great and feel magical to use if you’ve known the pain experience of not having them.
