"Hi [Name]"

This doesn't start well. "[Name]" instead of, you know, an actual name. Did an AI write the email, or was it just an incompetently written mail merge program? Maybe the AI wrote the mail merge?

'We're doing hardware for AI'

And that didn't exactly improve your chances.

And finally, what they actually needed is something that I haven't touched since college.

Buh buy.

#question about the whole "#identify yourself in order to Internet"... Let's say that someone is known under a nickname, let's say Billy, and hasn't officially changed their name from William (because nobody but an angry Mum, and the IRS, uses that form of the name anyways). Let's say that a website suddenly demands that Billy proves who he is, so he cusses under his breath and uploads a government issued ID. "Denied". Well, the uploaded ID did say "William" and the account claims to be called "Billy" and how is the entity tasked with checking IDs be able to know that William and Billy be the same person rather than brothers... Okay, less of a question and more of a rant, and an admittance that I hadn't even thought of this problem until I saw it in action last night.

I don't mow the "lawn" that often (it's dead most of the year anyway), but I need to prune the weeds a couple of times each winter. This weekend I did scare up a few critters that weren't too happy with me coming out there to disturb them.

#Joplin update woes: I don't use Joplin on the desktop as much as on the phone, which means that I had neglected updating the desktop version (AppImage; yes, Linux) for some time. Today I finally did open it, and saw several notes being un-encryptable. Okay, time to update, I guess. Only problem turned out to be that version 3.5.11 and 3.5.13 (the two I tried) don't load properly: the app only shows a grey rectangle with a half menubar that doesn't respond to button presses. So I tried to get back to version 3.4.x. Nope, can't do, the profile is too new. So version 3.5.x did do something: update the profile and prevent me from opening an older version. What finally solved it was to restore $HOME/.config/Joplin and $HOME/.config/joplin-desktop from backup, and run version 3.4.10. The app opens, and all notes decrypt properly. I still don't dare trying to run 3.5.x again - it would probably require another restore from backup in order to get back to 3.4.x again. As an aside, I did learn that backintime backups of softlinks can get you to the live version of a file rather than the backed up version. Which is why my 2 week old backup looked like it contained files that had been updated 43 minutes ago - those files weren't the backed up files, but the live ones. #TimjanGrumpsOnComputers
