I'VE GOT MY PASSPORT BOOK!
THIS IS A HUGE FUCKING RELIEF!
For those not aware, I've been without valid photo ID for ages, let alone ID with my correct name and gender marker.
When I got my name and gender marker change order done a few months back, just before I could get in the state office to get a new ID (and I was having issues with them actually sending me a non-temporary one regardless...) they decided they were going to start ignoring court orders and putting anyone who tried to get their ID updated on a list.
Thankfully that's only at the state level and the only thing that matters there is drivers license. I was born in a state that is very supportive of updating my birth certificate, and the federal government still accepts the forms just fine.
So the passport isn't just me able to leave the country reasonably, it's also a valid photo ID with my correct name and gender which I haven't had in ages (and has been the thing holding me back from updating things like bank accounts).

Fais du bien à un cochon et il viendra chier sur ton perron.
Proverbe recensé dans "Le livre des proverbes québécois" de Pierre DesRuisseaux (1978).
Il est inconnu dans la littérature avant la publication de cet ouvrage.

Celui qui ouvre une porte d'école, ferme une prison.
Cette citation est apparue au XXIe siècle. Elle est apocryphe.
Qui est le celui? Victor Hugo ne se serait jamais exprimé ainsi. Les apocryphes comportent toujours des faiblesses car ils viennent de petites personnes, comme les menteurs.

Hell, I'm pro AI and still think this is cursed... Yes I want AIs trained, but why the hell would you work with sensitive private data and think it should have access to that?!
The other day I messaged a friend's niece to tell them how to disable a setting on their laptop that is potentially leaking their work to feed AI. They work in educational psychology, so I didn't want patient/student data getting fed into some black box. All well and good so far.What really surprised me however, was her reaction.
"Don't I want AI to be trained?"
Holy fuck do we have an educational failing in lay people's understanding of what LLMs mean and their implications.

Supreme Risk: An Interactive Guide to Rights the Supreme Court Could Take Away

Looking to use Friendica a bit more
Lately I've been trying to convince myself to use social media more, so I can actually socialize and not just spend all my time watching YT.
I actually used to use reddit chronically, but at this point I haven't posted anything in months and that's been a plus in my opinion.
I started by using Discord more (I know, ABSOLUTELY PROPRIETARY(TM), but I joined a really good server that isn't anywhere else like Matrix).
Then I started using Mastodon more, and to my surprise I got my first follower in the form of Patrick Volkerding, the creator of Slackware, my all-time favorite Linux distro. Pretty poggers if you ask me.
Mastodon's been doing pretty good for me, and now I'm taking things further by trying to use Friendica more often. Soon enough, I'll also try to get back in the habit of using Lemmy instead of reddit.
If it's federated/foss, I'll think about trying it (except Bluesky, I predict that platform is gonna get real spooky like Twitter in a matter of time).
Overall, look forward to seeing more of me on Friendica, and if you want you can check out my Mastodon at tronnerd82@mastodon.social
@Shiri Bailem I see. Well, hopefully things'll get better as far as running the server goes. If all goes to shit, there's other Friendica instances I can try. Hoping for the best for you.
Much love from South Carolina, where things aren't much better for LGBT people like us.

Downtime
Sorry for the downtime, server crashed and I wasn't able to address it quickly or smoothly in my current mental state.
I took advantage of the downtime, and probably exacerbated it a little, and finally did the migration back to local hardware... so it *should* be more reliable.
What honestly stretched it out a lot is that I also applied the most recent stable Friendica version and that took forever to update the database.
It's with a heavy heart that I'm letting y'all know that I'm disabling open-registrations and *encouraging* all users to find a new home.
I'm not kicking anyone off my server, but unfortunately due to the political situation here in the US the chance for things to go *very bad very quickly* I can not vouch for this server as reliable.
I live in Texas and need to figure out plans to evacuate at this point. I was holding out hope that we'd at least have status quo (as monstrously awful as it is) for longer.
And to make things worse, I'm a trans-woman, they actively want to make my very existence (let alone presence online) illegal and have been building the machinery to make that a very fast process once Trump assumes office.
So I do not recommend this server any longer for those reasons, if you choose to stay I'll continue to run it and support y'all.
