Ever edit a PDF in MacOS Preview and have it mysteriously go password protected, effectively locking you out?

It's been a bug for at least two years, and the workaround I've found is to edit the PDF in Chrome instead – which you can still do even after the MacOS password has been inflicted on it. Which I have many questions about.

PDF is the gift that keeps on giving.

Time for that "Looking for work!" post, I guess!

Unfortunately, my current role is impacted by Amazon's move to mandatory co-location for teams, and my family is far too settled in Brooklyn to move away now. So after 7 years at Amazon, I'm starting the search.

I'm looking for a new role as a Front-end engineer/Design technologist/UX Engineer. I like design systems. And CSS. And accessibility. Love those things.

It's time for Discussion Friday again~!

I woke up really hungry so in my quest to make everyone as hungry as I am, we're going to talk about food.

Does reading make you hungry? Have you read a particular good description of food or cooking in a c-novel* that made you salivate? Or perhaps you've read something that sounds absolutely atrocious (which makes you want to try it for Science). Did anything you read inspire you to cook, or seek that dish out?

Share them and let's make everyone hungry!

*feel free to very loosely interpret c-novel here for Discussion Friday, e.g., Chinese web-novels, Chinese novels, Chinese novellas/short stories, other language novels translated into Chinese, novels by Chinese (nationality or diaspora) published in non-Chinese language

Darl McBride has passed away. If you are a Linux fan/advocate/user of a certain age, that name probably stirs some feelings - none of them good.

The SCO debacle was a real eye-opener about the depths that people are willing to go to for money. There's cut-throat, take-no-prisoners business... and then there's outright shameless malfeasance.

It was, at least for me, the end of starry-eyed optimism that FOSS would change the world without being changed by it in return.

@hub
In at least the past 20 years, excluding Harper's #prorogation in 2008 to prevent the LPC-NDP-BQ coalition non-confidence motion to replace his government, in the year preceding the election Québec Parliament/Government has made efforts to enforce the use of French at the expense of its Anglophone population.

It seems a lamentable, but not unexpected, strategy re-used because it the parties in charge at the time keep getting away with it.

@fexplorer What do you mean exactly? uploading images you mean? or like providing translations or something?

uploading on the mapcomplete panoramax instance can only be done via mapcomplete.org and adding images on individual images.

if you want to record many images (for actual street imagery), then you'd have to upload to a different instance (like panoramax.openstreetmap.fr )

For those who don't understand how Americans relate a waffle restaurant to weather events:

Waffle House restaurants are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. They do NOT close for ANY reason except impending catastrophe.

So when Waffle House reports that all locations in a city have been closed due to weather, that area is most likely fucked after the storm is over.
