I believe I have managed to prove my ID in order to comply with the new laws that say I have to prove my ID to own the business I own that I'm sure already asked me to prove my ID when I registered it.
First we tried the on-web version, but that apparently relies upon the corporates having managed to profile and track me, because it told me they had no questions upon which to base identification. Good I guess? My avoid-tracking systems must be working at least a bit?
Next we tried the android app, but apparently the phone I tried that with is too old and the app won't install.
So next option is turning up at a post office with a printed letter. I don't own a printer though, so had to have them post that to me.
Took the letter and a driving licence up to the post office today and "It's not going through" they said, pointing to a stalled progress bar on an android app on a tablet.
Um. Okay. So?
Just wait longer apparently. About ten minutes and it finally proceeded and the post office man took a photograph of me after asking me to disrobe of my robe, strip down to a teeshirt and jeans.
Not sure in what sense this has proven my ID any more than it was already proven to get the driving licence or company registration in the first place?
Apparently I now have government logins for "One Login" and for "government gateway" and they are not the same thing? But sort of are the same thing?
Can't say I really understand it. Expect they'll introduce a third government login when they do these Digital ID cards they're talking about.
God knows how I'm supposed to know which to use when the company tax records need updating in a few months.

When renewing my subscription to Nintendo Online it was only marginally more to upgrade to the expansion pass, which has given my sons access to the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC, will provide me with upgrades for Tears of the Kingdom on the Switch 2, and also gives me access to the N64, GBA and MD libraries. Tempted as I was to immediately start playing through Streets of Rage 2 again, I instead had a look for anything new and interesting.
the hardest 1990s Stereolab album for me to get into is Cobra and Phases Group, and I think it's because "Infinity Girl" and "Op Hop Detonation" sound so much like songs they made previously. it trips me up, like I'm listening to a remix with new lyrics. other than that it's a fine album
he photographed me,
my soul was stolen,
imprisoned in the result.
then he crumpled it,
put it in the rasins,
and left us for the crows.
then one accidentally ate me and i got to live out my crow possession dreams!!! WOOHOO 🥳🥰

In principle, I don't remove old contacts from my phone. I've figured out, if one of them ever calls me, I'd know who is calling.

Warframe shows us a world full of bosses and big corporations crushing the little people. The Corpus exploit workers, the Grineer enforce control with brute force, and the Solaris fight back to survive.
It’s cool to see the game hint at worker solidarity and rebellion. But at the same time, the game makes me grind endlessly or pay up real cash, which feels a lot like the very system it tries to criticize.

Nonstationary Spatial Process Models with Spatially Varying Covariance Kernels
All I want is a computer where the apps *keep up with me*. I’m not that fast, but don’t make me wait for context menus, app switches, text entry, etc.
There are so few that do that today. And it falls on app developers to keep their end of the bargain.
As a Mass Effect aficionado It seems unfair to me that Shepard has a cabin full of cool ship models but I can't have any. Until now. Martin at printables.com posted an SR-1 3d model. My printer is single filament and low-resolution, so I had to do more work than him to pull it together. Plus painting PLA is a bit of a struggle. But now I have a model, however rough.
I'd still rather have what Shepard has.

Calamus 29 One flitting glimpse
What a sweet poem of quiet love. One of my favorites so far.
The setup is voyeuristic: we're spying on a bar full of men. And we see Whitman in a corner, and then
a youth who loves me, and whom I love, silently approaching, and seating himself near, that he may hold me by the hand
It astonishes me that these poems of clear homosexual love were published in 1860!
What's particularly nice is the contrast between the rowdy bar scene
drinking and oath and smutty jest
and the quiet intimacy of Whitman and his lover
we two, content, happy in being together, speaking little, perhaps not a word.
The expression of love here is universal. But it is a man writing about a man, in the company of men. And thus it is particularly mine.

There are two main reasons I'm not using GrapheneOS. The first is that I've had two Pixels die on me from hardware flaws, and so I think their hardware is complete trash. The second is that every time I see them talking, they're trashing some other free software project or (openish) hardware. Only _their_ platform is secure. I'm getting strong Theo De Raadt vibes from them, which is not the kind of thing I'd want to deal with.
