I'm with you with the fact that I don't believe there to be any serious botting attempts, but I didn't need a digital ID to sign from the Netherlands.

I think they will verify with the municipality of the person who signed whether they actually exist. Theoretically you could sign on someone you know this information for, but I think IP logging would burn you pretty quick if even one of those is bogus/duplicate.

Also, I don't know whether such signatures would be counted before any verification would take place

In case you were wondering

Just today I witnessed someone working from home who had to move to a new system at work. Part of the instructions involved deactivating their 2FA app, which was apparently still needed for a later step in the process. They were supposed to use a backup phone number in the account to receive a text code to sign in, but, of course, there's no backup phone number in their account.

If only their job used this scheme instead. sigh

Good to hear that. Scrolling through some recent posts here rings enough bells that the possibility would haunt me in the back of my mind for a while. But where to even start?

Thanks for sharing

Holy shit, that has a name?!

... Am I supposed to seek medical advice now or what?

I thought it was real until the part where he gives away the US to Canada and Greenland. Had that not been in there I would've fallen for it

Little update in case you were wondering. After the news of kernel 6.13 being out I decided to look up when that would be available on Fedora. I found some mentions of the display bug being resolved in 6.12.9, and it's true! Now my saga of switching a parent to Linux can truly begin!

Did you ever end up getting that Brother scanner to work?

The post was made in 2020. I think it's likely that this was a PC that already ran Windows 10, which probably auto-updated itself as they love to do

I've been living on Tumbleweed KDE for about a year now, and I love it. My mum recently got a new laptop, so I decided to make it a dual boot of Windows 11 LTSC (no Copilot or forced MS accounts) and Fedora KDE.

Apparently Windows doesn't ship with the relevant network driver built-in, so that was fun to hunt down while Device Manager didn't announce what network card was in there. The manufacturer's site lists a certain driver as the "latest", and that would "successfully" install without actually doing anything. Half an hour later, it turns out that pressing "more" on their website shows previous versions of the driver... and drivers for a totally different network card that also gets shipped with this laptop sometimes. Naturally, the hidden one worked first try. Most other drivers were borked too, so Windows Update had to fetch them.

I then got to set up Fedora, which I chose because from what I heard it's neither boring nor too bleeding edge, without Canonical's controversial Snap shenanigans and with some relatively easy enabling of proprietary codecs (which I still need to verify) and with okay package management through Discover. The network card and everything else worked perfectly out of the box, but I have never installed Fedora before and forgot to partition the drive in Windows beforehand. Eventually I finish the install, install some apps and do some updates (while feeling uncomfortable with having to guess how package management works in dnf). I'm finally done, shut the laptop, bring it down to show her, open the lid, screen comes on...

... and then it shuts off. Turns back on, flickers a couple times, then permanently shuts off. Turns out there's a kernel bug around display power saving that's causing this, and I don't know when the fix will land on Fedora.

It's been real fun trying to explain to her that I didn't just break her fancy new laptop every 15 minutes and that everything I did was just a conventional procedure that should be supported (I'm lying)

Here I was wondering whether it was still 2024 for the guy who promised to buy it for everyone in the subreddit, lol

Having or liking pets. Pictures of then I can see the appeal of, but the living beings are annoying at best or downright scary.

Never grew up with them, was always silently judged for being afraid of my classmates' pets if I came over
