Child harm/death mention; Columbus
On Indigenous People's Day here in America, it's a great time to:
1. Remember that Columbus was a monster. Anyone who feeds toddlers to dogs actually deserves to burn in hell for eternity. Nothing else about this man should be remembered before this fact.
2. If you're in a colonized country, check out the website(s) for your local indigenous tribe (s) to remind yourself that they're still here. For me, that includes #LandBack, etc.
Me, I'm hopeful for a future in which the US is a distant memory and the hundreds of surviving nations on this territory flourish like budding plants after the winter snow.
Icelandair, in begging you to remember my info. I honestly can’t tell if they don’t remember my phone number, passport, and other info because they don’t keep it or because they’re just bad at the whole web thing (I suspect the latter for other reasons).

For today's #FreeSoftwareAdvent here's a tiny tool we have used in our pipeline: pyRenamer is a simple app to rename/renumber a bunch of files.
Unfortunately it's pretty much an abandoned fork of a Python 2 app that has been abandoned for even longer ago. It still works and for renumbering there's no easier solution at hand. But for file name search & replace …
Everytime I use the leaf blower/mulcher I remember that I forgot my mask. I remembered my hearing protection. I will be repeating the effort in one or two weeks when the rest of the leaves drop onto the patio.
Two of the annuals are covered for the winter, and next week, the rose is covered.
Like last year, I will be hanging the Christmas lights before it gets too cold. I also will be putting up a small (1 metre) tree with lights. All the lights will be on remotes, and the wi…
I‘m old enough to remember when Early Black Friday was called “November”.
I posted elsewhere, but sharing here, too.
I got email from someone whose surname I recognize.
I asked if she was related to the President of the first company I ever worked for. She's his granddaughter.
I shared with her how kind he was when I was a young, entry-level "Specialist" in my first corporate job. She was gratified. Her aunt remembers me from those days.
35 years ago, and I remember it now.
Be nice to someone. It might matter for a long …

Fundamentally, mastodon (and twitter, bluesky, etc etc) doesn't really work for me. I'm just remembering the sense of confusion when I first joined twitter - the idea that you subscribe to a feed of everything that someone says, and not to topics or threads is just a bit bonkers. It must sort people into groups with weird niche common collections of interests. I've tried running more than one account for different interests but it doesn't really work for me.
