And then some genius cooked it AGAIN and invented toast!

I’ve heard “dub-dub-dub”. But yeah, saying the abbreviation is longer than the words it’s abbreviating! 😀

Some heros don’t wear capes, but you can if you want to

1. So what?
2. Damn straight they are locked. Other wise you get Nicole spam on all of them, instead of just a few.
3. So what?

Wow, are you me? Because this is a pretty accurate biography of my life!

When I hear that, I am inwardly proud of myself in spite of being ADHD.

It feels like the rest of the world is running on a flat surface, and I’m running uphill. It’s not fair, but it is what it is.

I thank you sincerely for getting back to me on this. I wanted to let you know I just figured it out! I thought I’d document it for the next person to come along.

I had tried all of the options in that screenshot, and none seemed to work.

Investigating further, it was a Brother printer, so I needed to download special drivers: https://support.brother.com/g/b/productsearch.aspx?c=us&lang=en&content=dl

Then, arcane magic needed to be performed on the command line: https://support.brother.com/g/b/downloadhowto.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=mfcj4335dw_us_eu&os=128&dlid=dlf006893_000&flang=4&type3=625

I had done all that, but I still had a problem. Digging through the script output, apparently I had a bad “libsane” installed with apt. Also, to add to the problems, apt doesn’t recognize the string “libsane” now. We are to use its new name “libsane1” now in apt! So, I tried to reinstall and then reinstall the brother printer drivers, to no avail. Eventually, I had to completely uninstall libsane, and then reinstall it. And everything magically worked.

It’s so easy! 🤨

One thing to be ready to have is the IP number of the printer, which I was able to get in the WiFi options of the printer.

Whew! Test page printed on my test machine! I feel like this was my last major hurdle before adopting Linux on other machines.

Again, thanks for responding!

to work harder for no reason

I think the reason might be money. There’s very little money in, “Here’s some free salvation for you!”

I was thinking of buying a Synology system. I was actually looking at prices this past week.

That being said, I’ve got an old 2019 desktop running Windows that is coming to the end of its support, that I was considering making a Linux machine.

How complex is making a roll-your-own NAS?

Please explain what qualities they demonstrate that make them leftward.

Is “far left” an accurate description? They are not really what I consider “left” at all.

Source?

I remember in the 90 or maybe 00s a study coming out that said vaccine scepticism was about even between liberals and conservatives.

Yeah, dumb liberals with their dumb vaccines and pasteurized milk and fluoridated water and science. 🙄

Bold optimism that the USA will last 100 of any time unit.

Pete, we know you’re a big softie inside.

Right. The Fediverse is the PBS of the social media.

“It’s made possible by people like you.” Is it worth a few dollars a month? Yes!

I’m planning on it.

I tried a rest run with Kubuntu on an old laptop I had, and it runs 95% flawlessly. My biggest issue is my new Brother printer that I’m trying to install connected to Wi-Fi. The system sems to know it’s there, but then doesn’t seem to install the drivers. My Android phone prints there just fine.

Yum! I’ll be right over!

I found this recipe for Chickpea Masala a few days ago, and it’s fucking delicious. Also, its time and effort is pretty low. I might be able to make it stoned. Not quite as fast and easy as microwaved, but pretty damn close. Faster than driving to fucking Applebee’s and getting a table.

Not OP, but what do you do with the leftover potato scoops? Do you save it for eating later?
