@hanno@mastodon.socialI recently needed a script to convert mbox files to maildir, and to my surprise this was a nontrivial problem. I only found one written in perl that didn't work with my mbox files. As I don't speak perl, rather than trying to fix it I wrote one in python. It's very simple, as python's standard library already brings all the functionality, in case anyone needs it:
@brian_gettler@mas.toI watched "Let the River Flow" (2023) yesterday. I know very little about Sšmi or Norwegian history, so I can't speak to its accuracy. Still, its themes of discrimination, resource extraction, language, culture, and relation to the land and community strongly resonate with the recent history of colonialism in North America. Plus, it's a visually beautiful film.
