Yup! I had a little difficulty communicating with the computer, but all I had to do was add my user to the "dial-out" group and it worked like a charm.

I don't know what CUPS is, but I had 3 major reservations about switching my barely functional computer to Linux:
- Ive never worked in Linux before
- My dive computer only uploads to proprietary software using a proprietary cable.
- My Brother laser printer was working SO well wirelessly. It's the first time I've ever not hated my printer
Turns out some amazing people made open source dive logging software so I can still download my dives.
And for printing, I meant to get around to setting it up, then one day I forgot and accidentally printed something and it just worked. I was so shocked that for a bit I assumed that reformatting the hard drive and changing operating systems must've somehow preserved my printer settings.
I had an apartment in Indiana. When I gave directions to my house I used to say, "turn right at the traffic light. There's corn on the left, my house is on the right. If you hit the soy you've gone too far."
I read the article expecting to find some mitigating circumstances, like maybe he was underage. Turns out he's 22 and that sentence includes the punishment for other swatting calls, and DDoS attacks against French government sites. This seems like a shockingly lenient sentence, but I have to acknowledge that almost everything seems shockingly lenient when you come from a place with the largest incarcerated population in the world.
3 years of community service and mandatory mental health care will probably help this dude a lot more than locking him up for 5 years with violent criminals.
Ouch, I feel that one.
Might as well bring a wide-aperture LOK1, swarmer grenades, and gemini turrets so you don't even have to bother with using the aim-stick at all. You can just you one hand to shoot, and the other hand to eat sandwiches.
I kinda want to make a sign out of that (with proper attribution and a watermark of the Titan sub) and put it on our manufacturing floor.
You can, you just have to scroll to the bottom of all the comments.
My apologies, I don't know if you never saw it, there, or if you saw it there and just didn't like it.
That's the thing I'm not sure of. Did they have CO2 scrubbers on board?or were they constantly flushing out the old air with fresh air? Cause if you have 200 hrs of time with the scrubbers, and 96 he's of air, you'll die of hypoxia. But if you have no scrubber and just constantly flush the air through, then when the air runs out it's much worse. My guess is they have CO2 scrubbers just cause it seems like a much easier way to carry enough breathing gas for that many people for that long. But I'm really guessing.
But Lemmy and Kbin can't just "go corporate" because there is no Lemmy LLC with a CEO and shareholders. Lemmy is open source software that a whole bunch of people have been contributing to (although admittedly, I have no idea who's in charge of approving changes, or how that works). But one thing that MIGHT be true (I'm still figuring this out myself) is that if you and I are excellent coders and we know that lemmy 3.0 is nothing but a corporate cash grab, we can just go back to Lemmy 2.99, and Save As... call it Jemmy, and then anybody who follows us is part of our cool new anti-corporate club.
I think, maybe. I'm not actually sure at all.
The biggest corporatization risk I see is that if one instance, like lemmy.jrubal gets SO big and awesome and concentrated that it would be really painful to leave and start over, then whoever operates lemmy.jrubal would have the leverage they need to be greedy, until they make it painful enough that people leave.
And @kichae !

Parenting, since our first child was born in September of 2020. Still giving it a go. We just had a 2nd child this July, so I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.
