Sure, but what you "get done" on your own is statistically irrelevant. To achieve useful, measurable success in the fight against climate change, collective action must be taken at scale. That's government.

I didn't know about this project, but it looks very cool!
I've used pdfkit to considerable success. It has a few system-level dependencies, but the instructions are pretty straightforward:
# apt-get install wkhtmltopdf
$ pip install pdfkit
To be fair, if you live in a world where the only thing that matters is the fossil fuel industry (a popular worldview in Alberta), then the idea of pulling together with the same provincial leaders that have made it ever-so-slightly more difficult to export those fuels probably doesn't sound appealing.
Given that frame, dealing directly with the Americans (with whom they have an existing market and distribution route) makes sense. She has something they want, and Trump is notorious for claiming that he can "do a deal" with parties legally incapable of dealing with him.
Add to that the fact that the federal government is about to be swapped out for a fossil-friendly regime, and she doesn't need to take the other provinces seriously. It was more valuable to her politically to snub the council and win points domestically.
This has strong Alfur energy.
Paris has had quite the face lift in the last few years, with massive expansion of parks and cycling infrastructure and heavy restrictions of car traffic. You may be pleasantly surprised.
It's a cool idea, but the way it tightly couples itself to a model, forcing db calls for something like this kinda ties your hands.
For high-content sites like blogs for example, the idea that a template tag would kick out to the db for every post on the page is too much.
Instead, it'd be nice to decouple the bot detection from the gibberish generation so you could do useful things like precache the gibberish in Redis or on your content object directly and then just do {% if is_bot %}{{ post.gibberish }}{% else %}{{ post.content }}
Good to know, thanks. Where do I find the complete BDS list?
This is pretty slick, but doesn't this just mean the bots hammer your server looping forever? How much processing do you do of those forms for example?
There are unions that operate outside of trades too. CWU here in the UK for example. As a software engineer, I joined UTAW, a branch of CWU just a few weeks ago.
