Nice, that one seems really similar. How do you like Laser compared to Inkjet?

Well then… compliments to your sister for the choice.

Wait, so the printer chose you?

I bought a Brother HL-L2375DW a couple of years back specifically for Linux compatibility, and it did NOT disappoint.

• haven’t had a single error
• has not refused to print a single time
• super quick, good quality, duplex
• using cheap 3rd party toner without complaint
• works perfectly from Linux

I don’t usually like to recommend brands/products, but this is the exception. If you need a printer, and black and white is all you need, go for this one.

That ks for sharing this, this is fascinating.

Maybe the underlying rule is: the more you know about something, the more you are aware of its flaws, making the alternatives you know less about more attractive?

I don’t really know, sorry :(

If you want to migrate, is going conduit - conduwuit - continuwuity (first version) - continuwuity (current version) maybe an option?

I went with continuwuity and am happy with it. Development happens at a steady pace, with sane priorities. The server is stable and I haven’t had any issues to speak of, despite one minor bug that got resolved very quickly after creating an issue.

This, I assume? https://github.com/frida/frida That is indeed a bit eyebrow-raising. Though they do offer pre-built binaries.

Also for stuff like this, I can highly recommend the Nix package manager, even if you are not on NixOS. There it would, for example, just be nix run nixpkgs#frida-tools, from any distro.

But I know you’re not OP. Would actually be interesting what exactly they tried to install.

pip and cargo are not intended as (system) package managers. Your target package may of course have dependencies on them, but from the way you described it it sounds like that’s what you attempted?

Tale your AI shit out of here

That’s a really well argued paragraph. But have you considered: why pet shaped if not for petting?

(Jokes aside though. Point taken. But there’s nothing you can say to keep me from talking to them in baby talk from now on when I’m out gardening amongst them. Who’s a big stripey boy? Yes you are, aren’t you? :))

Yes

Wait I can PET BUMBLEBEES?!

I’d be weirded the fuck out if a stranger came up to me on the street and said “did you know McDonalds sells hamburgers?”. I’d probably think they were erratic and dangerous.

…would you look at that! Your analogy does work after all!

That actually makes a lot of sense, ha.

(Just in case you aren’t familiar with the Culture: yep, anyone or anything in it would be famtastic.)

Fuck, Id be okay with any random Culture citizen

Practical experimentation

It is.

Also not a doctor so don’t ask how I know.

Yes

And even if you do live there.

So what. I’m sleeping, remember?
