  • I’d try and get my work to switch, but apparently Zebra thermal printers (of which we have so many) don’t work well with CUPS, you may be able to do some weird shit to make them work but iirc it wasn’t too viable for a large scale operation.

    I’d wager a lot of companies do use things that just don’t work too well on linux yet, not that they couldn’t work it’s just that none of the people smarter than me who make linux happen have worked on it yet, and until they do it’s just what it is. Before we want to capture the enterprise market we need good easy to use thermal printing software, CNC software, laser etching software, stuff like that. It can be done too for at least most things I’m sure.


  • Yeah I’m sure I would do the full build, but also I’m definitely a weirdo and there’s no way any of the shit I use comes stock lol so it has been mainly the “additional software” and dependencies bit, and to be honest I had no clue how you guys did it but this post helped a lot, thanks!

    I’m still kind of a linux noob is also the thing, I started my journey years ago, but only by booting into tails every so often, then eventually ~4y ago I installed Fedora, eventually got tired of gnome and when the framework 16s dropped I grabbed one and switched to FedoraKDE, and that’s it, I haven’t made the jump to a big boy distro that “isn’t recommended for beginners” but Slackware will be the one I try, because I was a SubGenius before I even installed linux.






  • The '50s-'80s mind you where until 1968 you didn’t have to get a background check, until 1986 you could get a fully automatic machine gun.

    In 1967 any kid who could get enough money could get a fully automatic tommy gun delivered to his door paid for in cash with no ID check or anything. And they still had way less mass shootings.

    Personally I think it’s the wealth inequality and general hopelessness combined with a 24hr ragebait cycle between news and social media, and a sprinkle of “too many cameras to serial kill now, guess spree killing it is” on top, but what do I know.




  • Well I do at least want to try it out, the creator is a SubGenius (thus the name "Slack"ware) as am I, so that’s reason number one, and SW is less likely to have a canonical moment (like ubuntu ykwim) than Fedora.

    That is good to know that you don’t have to hunt for the dependencies though because that’s definitely one of the biggest things holding me back from trying it yet!



  • Tbf I want to watch this more than any “real” movie.

    *Johhny Depp bites sandwich, suddenly he starts a transformation, much like your typical Dr. Jekyll situation with the screams and the contorting the body, then when the smoke clears the only difference is he has Don King’s hair and voice/affectations.*




  • This is true, but also there’s no way this wouldn’t have been reported rather quick, like not just online but within 5min someone would have been all:

    “Oi 999? The bridge on Crumpet Lane 'as fallen down, I can’t get to me Chippy!”

    Or

    “Oi wot was that loud bang outside me flat?! Made me spill me vindaloo! Holy Smeg the bridge collapsed!”

    Or like isn’t the UK the most surveiled country with their camera system? Is this bridge not on camera already? For that the AI telling location would probably be handy too I’d just be surprised they don’t have it on security cams.
