Enjoyed the little slow-motion right before impact

It’s bad for sure, but better than said resources being used to kill Ukrainians

There used (1970s maybe) to be a brand called Camp in the UK which I think was a blend of coffee and chicory as a liquid that you added hot water to. Awful stuff as I remember it. It may still be sold there for all I know.

Famine! Pestilence! Locusts for sure!

What an idiot.

Thanks. I have hplip installed on my Pi (version 3.21.2) and my printer is listed as being supported on the hplip support page. That page says Support Level is “Full” and Connectivity is “USB, Network”. So it seems that this should work; also the printer works fine over USB to my Windows laptops.

hplip seems to provide a number of command line commands with names like hp-probe and hp-firmware. I have not been able to get any of them to work over USB though; usually they return a message “Warning: No devices found on the ‘usb’ bus”.

Do you mean that “proprietary firmware” is needed to make the printer work with Linux?

Why? Just Why?

Good work. I tried to do similarly with a HP CP1025nw (roughly 10 years old), which has become unreliable with Windows 11. But although I connected the printer to the Pi (I used a model 3B) with a USB cable, CUPS does not appear to see the “usb://…” connection string. CUPS does allow me to connect to the printer wirelessly, with a connection string that begins “dnssd://…”.

So I have it working wirelessly but I was hoping to get it using USB since I suspect that would be more reliable.

I’m wondering why your Pi allows the “usb://…” method, but mine does not.

Top work

This may be a ploy for Trump to avoid the debates, since he knows he’s likely to lose as in 2020. Biden refuses the drug test, Trump then refuses to debate…

nice work

Quite a run. I didn’t know Zilog was even still in existence under the same name, albeit part of a bigger company. Still remember learning assembler on a TRS-80 Model II with one of these in it.

I find that there is far too much of it in my Lemmy feed. I have a very long list of blocked communities which I have blocked, tediously, one at a time as they appeared. Obviously a lot of people like it, but it’s not for me.

I wish there was a setting similar to the one that blocks NSFW content, but for anime and manga.

International phone calls. Actually long distance domestic phone calls too.

YouTube has been blocking me for a couple of months now, with one or two short breaks. I have Firefox and uBlock Origin. Even after I whitelisted YouTube, the blocking continues.

Texas called, and wants their book back

Your story on Github of how you got to this is fantastic! I had forgotten the days of typing in source code from magazines. (For bioryhthms, no less!)

Fraud in China. Huh.

I have been getting logged out of the Wordle game site about every 2nd or 3rd day for the last month.

The thing I remember is the thrill of realizing how.much.stuff. was out there (even though by current standards it was tiny). There was a repository hosted by WUSTL.EDU that had a ton of software source code, binaries and other stuff; you could submit requests to it by e-mail and back would come your files uuencoded, split across multiple e-mail messages. You had to cobble the pieces back together before you could decode it.
