My Mum passed away; my brother & I wrote a few words to let our friends and family know.

How do I know my children’s Halloween candy isn’t Trans

The kiddo's doing a research project for school and yesterday I was telling her to ignore the Google snippet summary thing and look on Wikipedia instead. Follow the links and check the citations, obv, but it's the place to go to get a first general overview of the topic. "Trust Wikipedia, not Google". The internet's changed a bit, hasn't it?

I love how I am working on something mostly unrelated but I’ve run into the desire to rant about the transition from OpenAPI 2 to 3 😂 I can never escape

That _one_ parent who keeps insisting we hold a high school reunion. There are a number of classmates I quite like and stay in touch with, but the last thing I want to do is volunteer my time to convene, or attend, an event that dredges up the many traumas I've spent the last 20 years recovering from.

Reasons not to reinstall my OS: - Wayland/Sway configuration - Eduroam configuration

Pretty sure I get `brew update` vs. `brew upgrade` wrong even more frequently than inserting a Micro-USB cable the wrong way.

Intro After attending Techmids I decided to revisit setting up my own blog, because at the end of the day its documentation. Doing it at work then thinking over how to improve is a daily part of our craft. This thought was due to a talk by [Jamie Tanna](https://www.jvt.me/] on his Open Source project Dependency Management Data. Which tangentially led me to his blog and the indieweb movement of taking back control of your content.

Intro Attended Tech Mids today met Julian and Colin.

This is just another reminder to me that when some people start banging the “free speech” drum, you’re only really free to say sentiments preapproved by the establishment. It’s also easily observed that the people who *say* facts don’t care about feelings consistently and ruthlessly prioritise their discomfort (read: feelings) and use that as feeble justification to reject the facts. Some of you wonder why people like myself couldn’t see you as anything other than a bad-faith actor you present yourselves to be.

So… let me get this straight: Paddy Cosgrave – co-founder & chief executive officer of Web Summit, the largest tech conference in Europe –*correctly* called Israel’s war crimes “war crimes,” originally condemned Hamas’ attack while *correctly* insisting this doesn’t give Israel carte blanche to “break international law,” and everyone from Intel to Siemens is pulling out of the event in response? Listen… you can’t tell me there isn’t a rather coercive and corrupt double standard here.

I know people are mad with Hamas and correct me if I'm wrong but haven't the Israeli government "topped" Hamas in carnage now? Like they were throwing phosphorus in the air on people!
