Not that I don't like Mastodon, but it lacks one critical feature of Facebook, namely groups. Hey Cafe has an equivalent, called "cafes"
I discovered a new social media site that seems like a decent replacement for Facebook. You can find me at https://hey.cafe/@dskoll

Well, here's a bone-headed bill. If it passes, all computing devices in Colorado will have to attest to the age of users of computing devices.

How's that going to work for Linux?

Who will Colorado penalize if Linux doesn't comply?

I've had an unhealthy obsession with calendar software, having worked on my Remind calendar tool for more than half my life.

Well, now I've written a book about it. It's designed to help you learn Remind, and also has interesting tidbits about the calendar system we use.

Remind is at https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ and the book is at https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/download-book.php?file=remind-book-1.0.pdf

The robot apocalypse hasn't happened yet, but still I can't escape the feeling that something has gone horribly wrong... Cartoon for Dutch newspaper Trouw.

We are reminding families of the importance of keeping routine childhood vaccinations up to date and ensuring immunization records are accurately reported. These measures help keep Ottawa schools safe and protect students from vaccine‑preventable diseases.
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we pause to reflect on the atrocities of the Holocaust and the ongoing need to confront antisemitism. January 27 honours the millions of victims and survivors, and reminds us of the importance of remembering, learning, and standing firmly against hatred.

PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION!

If you are a Canadian citizen or resident, please sign this petition to the federal government.

It requests that gender affirming care be guaranteed for trans youth. This petition can save lives. Please sign it.

Spread it as much as you can on your social media. Let's get this baby flying. I want them to get even more signatures than I did for my trans asylum petition three years ago. Please make sure you tell people that all residents of Canada are eligible to sign, but you must have a Canadian address to sign. If you are unhoused, ask somewhere local to you for an address you can use to sign it.

You will have to give an email address to it, which you must use to confirm you signed, or your signature will be invalid.

Boosts not only invited, but crucial to the success of this very, very important social action. I'd love to see a million people sign it. You have my explicit permission to screenshot this post and spread it anywhere you want, on any social media platform you think will have Canadian residents to spread it to.

The most that a petition before has gotten has been about 300,000. I want us to blow right past that, and roll that one up for tokes.

Canadians! Please join your trans neighbours in helping provide relief to trans youth. Speaking as a former trans youth, this would have changed my life completely. We can still do that for our neighbours' children.

Please help make it happen.
