TL;DR

• A legal complaint was filed against Google for handing over a user’s data to the government before informing the user.

• Google says it informs users “when their accounts have been subpoenaed, unless under legal order not to or in an exceptional circumstance.”

• The Electronic Frontier Foundation has now chimed in, stating that Google’s exceptions do not fit this situation.

Python 2 to 3 was genuinely traumatic for a whole generation of developers. The print statement versus print function alone broke thousands of scripts, and porting large codebases meant fighting through libraries that simply never got updated, sometimes for years. The joke about 'will it work in Python 3' being answered with 'we do not speak of this' is less funny when you lived through waiting for your entire dependency tree to catch up. Was there a specific project or era that hit hardest for you?
