Well, well, well. Just in time for the SAVE Act to pass the Senate. Which makes it quite hard to vote without having a passport, which costs a pretty penny to get and takes time. Ugh...

US State Department halts passport services at nonprofit libraries
The State Department has ordered nonprofit public libraries to stop taking passport applications, cutting off a popular local service. In late fall, the agency started sending cease and desist orders, which take effect on Feb. 13. It says these libraries cannot collect and keep passport processing fees under federal rules. Librarians say the service has worked for years and residents still call every day. Members of Congress from several states pushed back in a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. They call the change abrupt. Pennsylvania members of Congress have proposed a bill that keeps eligible nonprofit libraries in the program.
Elegant Joy DigitalI am doing my own experiment.
I love #Mastodon and the #fediverse
I think lots of people don't _know_ about this wonderful way to connect to people, how #socialmedia can be - but
I think people think the algorithm helps them, whereas I think that's big tech marketing.
I am sharing the same posts here and LinkedIn and Facebook, and I'm curious to see which performs best.
So, if you see my posts and like them, do please follow me and boost liberally, and I will be delighted to report back!

Dev LeaderWhat's one of the most popular language features that we have in CSharp?
LINQ!
(L)anguage (IN)ntegrated (Q)uery is a powerful way that we can interact with collections, iterators, and IEnumerables in general.
Traditionally, without LINQ we usually:
- Write for loops to iterate over datasets
- Materialize datasets into collections all at once
But with LINQ, we can write pipeline-style code to convert usage into more of a data-streaming approach.
This quick video is a snippet that should provide a brief primer on some examples of LINQ!
