My 81-year-old mom, who's a widow and has no current photo ID was rejected today when we tried to get her a photo ID card. She's been living in Alberta since 1978 and has no current passport.

She had her birth certificate but because she changed her last name when she got married in 1964, they could not issue her an ID card without her marriage certificate.

We did not know where she may have stashed her marriage certificate since she moved into a senior's residence three years ago and had to downsize a lot of her things.

These new rules are going to disenfranchise a lot of people hoping to vote in the referendum. We need to get the word out. If you are contacting another province for birth or marriage certificates, that will take time.

Luckily for my mom, after searching through an old trunk with multiple albums and brown envelopes, we found the original marriage certificate. We'll be back at the registry in a couple of weeks to try and get that ID card.

This UCP government is pure evil.

All free software maintainers will be randomly assigned a local user. You must go to their house and watch them install your rust crate, python wheel, flatpak and you must watch them use it all the way through.

If they like it you will be given a cup of tea.

Library maintainers will be assigned a nearby junior developer and script writers will be assigned a fresh faced junior admin.

I don't make the rules, this is just the law now.

The silver lining of the Frankenware era is that Linux process sandboxing is finally getting the attention it deserves.

Turns out the fastest way to convince people they need proper isolation is to let an LLM enthusiastically explore every possible way to rm -rf your home directory.

Most clients have a “remind me to add Alt Text” setting. Turning it on helps.

Don’t think I can get any closer to the desired azimuth, but I might need to model a 6 degree wedge real quick to tweak the elevation.

This one really touched a nerve, I’ve had a number of emails from real maintainers today sharing their stories that end up being way too similar 🥲

Oh no, we're at 62% for alt text usage on social.lol. That's really not great at all, y'all. :prami_sad:

Can you please take a moment to add alt text whenever you share an image or a video? Blind and visually impaired people on the Fediverse will thank you!

Does it bother anyone else, that when you switch around your audio devices that PulseAudio's default audio device doesn't stay in sync with your choice of OSS's default on #FreeBSD ? Anyone have any clever tricks for fixing that?

Im partway through writing a little utility that sits in the system tray and keeps them in sync, and Im wondering if it would be useful to anyone else? OR perhaps im duplicating effort I don't know about?

@isagalaev Yeah, definitely pricey. I think it's aimed to be an inexpensive enterprise setup. But we wanted to wire our house and set up multiple APs.

This is new since I last looked at their offerings:
https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/cloud-gateways-wifi-integrated/products/udr7

I haven't used it or even seen reviews, but I imagine they'll put similar routing software inside of it, so that might be an option worth investigating as well.

Interacting with LinkedIn a bit in preparation for starting my job search. It feels weird that it will put your *previous employer's* logo on your *user* profile, despite the fact that you've already stopped working there. I don't see a way to disable this.

It feels like a (cattle) brand. "This cog used to belong to this corporation."

For #Codeberg members: In the wake of finding my software in The Stack I'm going to raise the issue of requiring FLOSS licenses when FLOSS licenses grant access to any use-case, when I (and I suspect other devs) want to be able to use licenses that forbid AI training.

The discussion is at https://codeberg.org/Codeberg-e.V./Discussion/issues/195, I don't think it's available to non-members. I want to turn it into a formal proposal and don't quite know how. I would appreciate help in this area.

since people like being obtuse about it and a single sentence wasn't clear enough, we have a more elaborate AI policy now: https://chimera-linux.org/community/#project-ai-policy

it's still succinct (no chatgpt was used to generate it) but should get the idea across

Thoughts on mountains on #mountainmonday.
I wanted to hike the Monte Pelmo, today, after being forced to give up, last week.
I had to cancel again.
The extreme heat is melting the permafrost and the mountain is literally crumbling. It's not safe, now. Another consequence of climate change that breaks my heart.
I then decided to hike another round ring I have been wanting to do since forever: the Mondeval plateau from Toffol.
