Huge kudos to the PSF for standing on principle and making a difficult decision.
“Ultimately, however, the value of the work and the size of the grant were not more important than practicing our values and retaining the freedom to support every part of our community. The PSF Board voted unanimously to withdraw our application.”
With so many orgs going “no politics” or straight up obsequiousness to those in power, Python stewards and community continue to impress.

Amazon targets as many as 30,000 corporate job cuts, sources say
One paragraph, two WTFs. Emphasis mine, because those are the speed bumps I hit reading the article.
Apparently the RTO mandate didn’t get enough people to quit?
A program begun early this year to bring employees back in the office five days per week, among tech’s most stringent, has failed to generate sufficient attrition, said two of the people, citing that as another reason for the size of the layoff.
Big “look what you made me do” vibes
Oh, and the remote workers who stuck around? Yeah, we decided they quit.
Some of the employees who are not swiping in daily because they live far from corporate offices, or for other reasons, are being told they have voluntarily quit Amazon and must leave without severance, a savings for the company.
