good morning 
Hi guys, just wanted to take a minute to wish you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year, most of all good health! These days people don't spend much time or thought on some personal words to their friends and family, they just copy and paste some random message and send it on. So I just want to thank you and wish you a happy and fulfilling 2018 - you’re the best gymnastics group anyone could ask for. Helen x
Not today, Satan
"...to de-instrumentalize our understandings of one another and to assume a position of greater humility and responsibility, together. Real belief in collective knowledge may also suggest that caring for our own knowledge formation in social systems is a way of caring for the system as a whole." https://www.wrecka.ge/landslide-a-ghost-story
i think systems literacy is one of the most undervalued, and because of that untaught, things in the american information environment. every day there's a flood of new events, new information, new interpretations. if you don't have a model for how the systems underlying society work then every new bit of info emerges spontaneously, causelessly, quickly disappears into void. the models of systems each of us carries through life are brittle and wobbly but without even that we're truly lost.

@annaDr. Anna Latour oh wow that looks fantastic
Besides the obvious objections, I find it deeply ironic that Claude Code would send me an email thanking me for my efforts towards simplicity in software.

PowerLattice is miniaturizing and repackaging high-voltage regulators to a 50 percent reduction in power consumption. “The closer you get to the processor, the less distance that the high current has to travel, and thus we can reduce the power loss.” https://spectrum.ieee.org/voltage-regulator?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-Mastodon-Daily-Pipeline
the lineup of new MNT open hardware computer prototypes for #39c3 so far (plus a bunch more well-known things)
mnt touch reform (placeholder name) prototype which 
@theawesomerandomness put all her craft into making a reality that actually feels much nicer than it is allowed to feel (mostly pocket reform internals, and she designed the case in freecad and 3d printed and hand sculpted here. i wired up the touch overlay and hand made a button board for the side buttons).
My brain has lately been on a roll of forming malapropisms based on "like shooting fish in a barrel":
- There's plenty more fish in the barrel
- One bad fish spoils the barrel
- You can lead a fish to water but you can't make it barrel
- It's all fish under the barrel now
@FediTree hello!
Weihnachtlicher Spekulatiuskäsekuchen. Entschuldigt den Rand, ich war etwas schlampig heute.
Ist aber lecker.

Is anyone interested in a bunch of #EngelbertStrauss XL extra long cotton stretch t-shirts, mostly black: https://www.strauss.com/de/de/arbeitsshirts/e-s-t-shirt-cotton-stretch-long-fit-3102210-20121-1.html
I lost a ton of weight and don't need them any more.
I have maybe 30 of them. Some older, some newer, all in perfect to good condition and freshly washed. I could bring a bunch to #39c3. For free or just donate something to a good cause.
Only condition is that you should put them to good and sensible use, i.e. wear them.
Edit: XL, sorry!
My wife sure knows how to pick my Xmas presents!

I don't wish to brag, but I have done zero technical support today.
I keep getting overwhelmed by my new camera. I have no idea what most of the settings mean, let alone how to use them.
Also, it’s not often someone’s bought me something I’ve wanted for a long time, so I feel worried that if I’m no good or don’t make the most of it then I’m a terrible person.
So I’m feeling grateful and seen and loved but also guilty. I shouldn’t have such a nice gift if I can’t already use it perfectly.
What a daft thing to think.
holiday music
I don't celebrate holidays. ∃ much work to do for non-profit charities (for fundraising alone) in Dec. Working on holidays is standard practice for me since 2001.
My 17-year-younger cousin told me: 1ˢᵗ he saw SQL was at 12 years old & watched me all Christmas day mucking w/ #FSF's SQL donor database in 2002.
*But*, my mom, who died ≈ 10 yrs ago, loved Christmas & she hated that I worked every Christmas. So, in her memory, I listen to Christmas music all day today while working.

We should all start a podcast or something
I just want to be with someone who makes me feel special. Instead of what i normally feel, which is rather burdensome if not unwanted.
