Every technical decision is political. 

Infrastructures shape habits and lives of those who use them,
facilitate certain uses, render possible certain actions, while make
more difficult other ones. 
For instance if you center your efforts in GUI, you benefit some social
groups over other, the same if you propose only CLI, just as whether you
have installer or not. If you assume that people will have all round
fast bandwidth to use your soft - is politics, if you assume they have
smartphones - this is politics too, if you assume they have two hands,
they can see... All of that is politics.

I don't see anything in the wireless_tools package that would trigger

there are no udev rules or systemd services.


Out of curiosity I checked my journalctl boot logs and this is what I

It's been generating these entries since July 20th for me.


Re: [arch-general] [Classroom] Python for Beginners - Part 1

That's 7AM UTC, 8AM CET.

Whole thing will be recorded on youtube livestream + hopefully edited and
polished + its transcript on wiki.
So its not really necesearry to attend at the time, but people on IRC
asking questions will be very welcomed, since its how the classroom should
work.

We will try to do 2h session, in last attempt we covered data types basics
and some for loops I think so that should be enough at first.

In following 14 days there should be some video with intro presentation
covering some basics about python, why and what will be covering and some
things to get started with.

After more then half a year I am reviving the python classes, so anyone who
haven't had luck to join back in autumn now is there time to join again.

The plan is to start on 27th of June, Wednesday 7:00 UTC.

Contents will be similar, but hopefully better.

Session #1 is finished, I am still going over the material and I will make
one more offline recording to summarize session #1, which should be shorter
then the whole livestream.
Results will be linked in README.md on the github https://github.com/
archclassroom/python-beginners with the ipython notebook from the session.

Anyone interested in continuing the Python education, here is the link for a
poll to pick an ideal date for *session #2* https://framadate.org/archpyb-
poll-2.
*Deadline for voting is on 10th of November,* so that means that the days
in a poll from 1st to 10th are useless... Managing all this seems harder
then I imagined.

Since my first lecture, I am always providing this Virtual Box image with
basic Arch Linux with xfce4, nobody wants to build python3 on some outdated
Red Hat distro.

Its meant mostly for people without Arch, but It might work for you as well
Randy.

Here is the *.ova file https://mega.nz/#!wAEEna4Q which should most
VirtualBox versions be able to import and run.

Hi all,

For learning purposes, you should be happy enough with
https://www.pythonanywhere.com/try-ipython/ and for some graphs later
https://try.jupyter.org/.

However, we will use some packages from https://pypi.python.org/pypi and
you will need at least python, python-pip and python-virtualenv (not
python2).

Looking forward to tomorrow evening.
