fwiw in the future you can find out the path to your drives and their uuid if needed with

lsblk -f

Yep. No reason not to think it isn’t just corporate greed again.

(from the article about the previous insane egg prices)

In absolutely unrelated news, eggs are suddenly incredibly expensive. A dozen “conventional” eggs are currently averaging $2.88, which is double what they cost a year ago. Supposedly, this is caused by a supply chain shock (an avian flu outbreak).

But – and this will shock you, I know – the single company that dominates the US egg industry, Cal-Maine Food (AKA CALM – ugh) is making record profits. Their Q3/22 net was up 65% from the year before. Cal-Maine’s Q4-22 sales were up record-smashing 110% – $801.7m:

Oh yeah that would piss me off.

My last epson experience was about 5 years ago, (edit: holy cow maybe more like 10+ years ago. why does time go so fast?) so they may have gone downhill, appreciate the update. I had 2 in a row and both were good with Linux support and general lack of fussiness.

Plasma 5 made me a KDE user and fanboy. I am super excited to see what 6 will bring.

KDE team, you rock.

OK man. Doesn’t bother me if you don’t buy one. This is the longest I’ve kept a printer without throwing it away in disgust in a long time. Companies like to brand things with catchy names. shrug

Thirded. Get an Brother inkvestment model. No bullshit, it just does your bidding, like a printer should. And the ink lasts a very long time.

Yes, everyone says get a B&W laser printer. If that fits your needs do so. We have kids that want or need to print in color fairly often, and color laser was out of the question last time we purchased.

Brother is the now only brand I look at after decades of buying consumer printers. If absolutely forced not to buy Brother, I’d go with Epson. I used to love Canon, but each model started incorporating more and more bullshit, and I found their ink to be both expensive and short lived. HP is the king of printer bullshit, but Canon seems to want to sit on their court in recent years.

Wow man. I wrote, “Sheesh.”

And you got AAAAAALLLL this:

Scientists actually studying the issue:

“Not sure. We studying the issue.”

Lemmy:

“But I FEEL it’s harmful! I’ve done my research!”

Antivaxxer by any chance? Because you’re tracking the same thought process.

Whenever something like this comes up, of which I’m ignorant, I ask myself, “By what mechanisms could this be true or false? How would that work?”

Your turn.

Yeah, I’ll pass.

Researchers still can’t answer the big question: Are those nanoplastic pieces harmful to health?

“That’s currently under review. We don’t know if it’s dangerous or how dangerous,” said study co-author Phoebe Stapleton, a toxicologist at Rutgers. “We do know that they are getting into the tissues (of mammals, including people) … and the current research is looking at what they’re doing in the cells.”

Sheesh.

I use Sonixd as the frontend to my Navidrome server, and it’s the bees knees.

You should try Linux because you want to and find it interesting to learn. If you are doing it because other people told you to, you are going to have a bad time.

Linux isn’t Windows with different branding. Things work differently, and if you take the time to understand why you’ll usually see the logic eventually, even if you may not to agree with it. I think folks are bristling a bit at your implication that things are hard on purpose somehow. Many experienced users find the terminal easier to use and more efficient; it shouldn’t shock anyone (including you) that it’s going to feel awkward when you don’t understand it yet.

Howtos tend to use the terminal because it’s likely to work the same for everyone regardless of what other choices they’ve made with desktop environment, etc.

You can do nearly everything with a GUI if you choose.

Both options will install the Mullvad client from the AUR. (If you use an arch derivative, that already tells you some things. If you don’t, then you are missing some context.) The first option will install from binary, the second will compile from source. Which you choose is up to you.

If you blindly chose one over the other because you didn’t know, worst case you end up being impatient if it takes awhile to compile from source.

I couldn’t help but think of this (nearly 20 year old) video in response to that comment. 😁

This is well known and Ernest is working on a passel of fixes, and is really spread thin. I’d suggest tagging him for any bug (new or not) vs reporting an issue via bugtracker is counterproductive, and probably just adding to his stress.

The cops keep changing their story. It’s been at least a dog and a parked car that I know of. Then there’s the bodycam footage they won’t release. Then there’s the security cam footage showing them run a redlight (dramatically) seconds before the collision. They also didn’t breathalyze the office or otherwise test him for DWI.

All good, and I apologize for assuming your tone. (Strangely I thought I’d already replied but Kbin seems to have eaten it.)

I was trying to accomplish that if they delete their account or comment there is still context for the comic I posted.

I’m genuinely curious why that would be bothersome in any case.

Just wear a white pointy bed sheet with holes for the eyes and they’ll think you’re one of them.
