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.

This Slashdot post about ghost jobs won’t help you find a job but it may shed some light on a current problem. I’m in the US now but my son is looking and running into this phenomenon. I imagine it happens with the job posting sites in Ireland too.

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

I think we have to acknowledge that even though there have been some close games, the quality of rugby in this year’s 6 Nations is poor compared to recent years. The Scotland-England game today seemed mostly made up of hoisting high kicks in hopes of creating an error rather than anything creative. This is taking nothing away from van der Merwe’s individual contribution. Even Ireland who were obviously better than Wales struggled for nearly 30 minutes after half time. We need better rugby!

That was France’s worst home loss of the 6 Nations era in terms of points difference (21 vs previous 10 to Wales in 2013). I’ve watched Ireland play France dozens of times and never seen Ireland dominate physically like that.

Splendid

…aaaand it didn’t work. Not to say that they lost the game because of this, but they didn’t seem to get any of the advantages expected from it. A couple of big scrums was about the height of it. It turns out that you can’t win a top level test match without a goal kicker, no matter what tricks you pull.

“30 million rugby fans” in the US? I don’t believe it.

The rest of the tournament all seems a bit flat compared to that. Completely absorbing for 80 minutes. Pure mental strength was the winning of it for Ireland.
