@maxitb Thanks for your response. I don't know if I would call them student projects, but many of those applications are made for a very specific purpose (like transcribing audio, etc.) very much in the sense of Unix utilities that are designed for one or few tasks. However, there are some bigger applications in common usage as well, for example: #Flowblade #Pitivi #Kazam2 #MyPaint #Exhibit #Gaphor #Gajim #Paperwork #Scriptorium #GettingThingsGnome #Gramps #Cadabra #Saldo #Setzer
Registration paperwork is on its way to the big FAA Aircraft Registration Branch in the sky.
I still have plenty of final assembly and adjustments to do....

'geometrie im alltag'
ja, ok, so etwas findet man nicht alle tage, aber es lag mit einer alltäglichen selbstverständlichkeit am wegesrand herum und war für ihre erschafferinnen* sowieso mit sicherheit alltag. und höchst geometrisch.

For decades, the right has targeted the protections of the 1965 Voting Rights Act,
most visibly via court decisions,
as well as spurious voter roll #purges and #gerrymandering efforts,
which warp territorial districting law to divide opponents and consolidate supporters.
One of the most reliable methods of suppression, though,
is to tighten #voter #identification rules.
Requiring #citizenship #paperwork, which many (fully eligible) citizens do not possess,
leads to the emergence of a racially inflected pattern of #vote #suppression.
If you make voting as inconvenient and costly as possible,
by default, some percentage of those who are short on money and time
— people of color, students, low-income workers and others who juggle lots of obligations with few resources
— will decide that getting to the polls just isn’t worth it.
Maximizing this effect is the primary motive driving the rampant right-wing infringements on democratic participation,
Trump’s latest order included.
To justify these measures, the executive order 
purports to combat large-scale voter fraud: 
the familiar right-wing myth that millions of illicit votes are cast in the U.S., in numbers that could throw a presidential election.
(The real nationwide illegal vote count is a few hundred, at most
-- of those, quite a few were Trump voters.)
The type of voter fraud claimed by the right is so vanishingly rare as to be an utterly negligible force in U.S. politics.
If anything can be said to constitute actual substantive electoral fraud,
it is the right’s systematic and wildly successful campaign to #obstruct voting rights.
Trump’s order,
while perhaps the most aggressive foray into voter suppression of late,
is far from the only effort to impair democracy.
Right now the SAVE Act is making its way through Congress;
the Republican-sponsored legislation would alter registration procedures
and demand proof of citizenship documents like
a passport, birth certificate or naturalization certification.
(As NPR reported, researchers have found that 1 in 10 voting-eligible Americans don’t possess these documents.)
️
There’s notable overlap between the two efforts
— the administration seems to be hedging its bets.
“A lot of [the executive order] tracks pretty closely with what’s in the SAVE Act,”
said Diaz.
Should the SAVE Act fail, the executive order may
allow “the White House to get around the congressional lawmaking process
-- and do whatever they want.”

EV Buyers Are Getting Tax Returns Rejected After Dealers Screwed Up Credit Paperwork

If I want to book an appointment online at any of Berlin's government offices, the next available date is in May. But if I call, they can offer me any number of dates this month and next… they save them for people who aren't online.
In some ways, this is good – saving some for people who don't have internet access – but on the other hand, it means the best ones are reserved for German speakers.
We're officially farmers! 
Mostly thanks to @vaviurka who struggled through the paperwork.
Nope, we're not allowed to get cheap green diesel.
But we can declare our wildflower meadow come April and also eventually file a reforestation project for some of the land (more paperwork).
Although we've been immediately warned there is no way back once you plant forest. Perhaps that's why it's so unpopular?

Jim “muppets” Henson was contracted by #IBM to make a film extolling the virtues of their new technology, the MT/ST, a #wordprocessor. The film would explore how the MT/ST would help control the massive amount of documents generated by a typical business office. #Paperwork Explosion, produced in October 1967, a #montage of images and words illustrating the intensity and pace of modern business. Henson collaborated with Raymond Scott on the electronic sound track.

Der Funfaktor, wenn man herausbekommt, wie sie sich bewegen lässt, ist groß. Für Schüler ab der 2. Klasse gut geeignet.

Filling out a request to buy agricultural land, which is about limiting extremely large farms above 500 ha. Nowhere near that, but still a requirement. It includes land owned by relatives and companies you own more than 25% of.
Luckily we're also under 10 ha. That's the limit above which you are required to have a minimum yield from said land for 5 years after purchase.
So we're not required to instantly become excellent farmers :)
As many #ADHD people, I tend to struggle with #paperwork, especially things that are sent to me by physical post.
Yesterday @excds pointed me to https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx, and I installed it and first impression is that it looks amazing.
I fed it a few scans of mail, and it OCRed it. So now I can:
- Search my snailmail.
- Copy and paste from snailmail.
- Tag my snailmail.
Next up is to make my scanner automatically upload scans to a directory it monitors.
This is huge for me.

| R.I.P Natenom Happy #MechanicalKeyboard #40sDay!
My favourite ≤ 40% keyboards:
1) custom #WorldspawnsKeebs #Shambles (world's smallest #TKL 
) in fluorescent acrylic with #Nephlock #GMK #Kaiju (bought from Drop)
2) #Ziptyze #Zlant (bought from #1UpKeyboards) with SA #Vilebloom
3) #TheVanKeyboards (#TVK) #MiniVan with GMK #Paperwork — IMHO the most usable 40%
4) #PyrooL #Alpha28 (sub-30% bought from WorldspawnsKeebs on Etsy) with GMK Pulse #Mitolet (from Drop)
Thanks to @petejohanson for the idea!
