IANAL, this is what I've heard, open to criticism: Legal tender in UK legally only affects repayment of debts: they are obliged to accept legal tender for repayment of a debt, within reason. So you can always pay by cash e.g. if you

Is this really for the benefit of the person suspended? Surely it's better in general to let them choose whether to make this public?

As an outsider I can just see some toxic behaviour here from people that seem to have some authority within Python project / steering. The fact that it has gotten this far, something which Peters apparently was trying to prevent and u

Many companies have no choice but to self-host to comply with export control regulations. We use GitLab and drool over GitHub the whole time. But this is one advantage for GitLab, fundamentally we won't use GitHub because we need to

Yeah I'm sick of both of them. I'm not saying that nothing good ever comes of them, but that I regret the overall change and genre as a whole. I can appreciate individual pieces, and as I said I think Picasso was a genius, but I
