Using the Assistive Listening System

As Our kingdom gears up for Crown Tournament this weekend, We want to ensure that Our beloved Populace has information about, and instructions for, using our Assistive Listening System (commonly called ‘ALS’) during the event.  

What Is It?

This technology is a closed loop broadcasting system that enables anything within about a 5 foot radius of the microphone to be broadcast via a local network, enabling people who are not “up front” to hear what is going on. This broadcast can then be accessed by people attending the event via hearing aids or phone and earbuds. For many devices, automatic closed captioning is also available.

How Do I Use it?

We will make QR code cards available at the event site.  If you have never used the system before, you can access it during the event via the ListenWIFI app by scanning the QR code card, which contains the SCA-ALS network information. (You can install the app by going to the Apple Store or to the Google Play store on your phone.) If you run into any issues or have any questions, check out the Kingdom User Guide; there is also a list of Frequently Asked Questions.

Who Is It For?

The SCA-ALS is a powerful assistive device, but members of the Populace do not need to be Deaf or Hard of Hearing to benefit from this system. For example, members of Our Kingdom who toil in the kitchens during Court, or are sitting in the back of Court, can participate more easily using this technology. If you think you may benefit from this system, We urge you to give it a try.

Important Crown Tourney Logistics

A missive from Maréchal Remy Delamontagne de Gascogne (he/him), Secretary of Royal Missives & Postings:

Fall Crown Tournament Logistics for Combatants & Consorts

Greetings East,

This weekend is the East Kingdom’s Fall Crown Tournament, and Their Royal Majesties Donovan and Meghanta want to cover some last-minute important logistics about the event for Combatants and Consorts.

  1. Check-in with the Minister of the Lists for Combatants and Consorts closes at 10:30am. Please be ready to get lined up for the procession shortly after that.
  2. Based on the current number of entrants, Their Majesties will be running two round robin pools to determine the 16 person double elimination tree. If Their Majesties see more drops on Saturday, They may revise this plan.

Further info on the event and tournament format can be found on the EK Event Page and TRM’s Reign Blog.

Open-Source Machismo

Oct. 19th, 2025 02:24 pm
[personal profile] writerkit
So LibreOffice does not come with autosave enabled by default.

It's surprising that it took me this long to realize that, but *autorecover* comes by default (set for every half-hour, which I think is a bit long) so it hasn't really come up until I had a few crashes in ways that didn't trigger the autorecover. What I actually went looking for was whether there were backup copies somewhere, but instead I came upon a bunch of posts in various discussion places of people going "Why is this not enabled by default" and people responding, essentially, "if you can't handle saving manually go back to Windows."

It does *exist*, but you have to go like four menus deep to enable it.

There is no reason not to default to autosave being on except attitude.

Half the time I wonder if open-source people actually *want* uptake of their stuff or if they're hoping they can keep out the undesirables by making it hard to use.
