They are desperate to find people who will work for 15625 times less than the CEO. I wonder why

when you buy a printer, just look that it says it's for linux, just like you would for windows or osx. people just sometimes run into problems when they retrofit printers for other OSes to work with linux. there's a good chance a windows printer can work with linux, but it's not guaranteed, so do it only, if you got one for free or it originally had been bought for another PC.

if you still have multi boot, i would suggest using clonezilla to put images of everything onto an external HD.

if you just have linux, the easiest way is to keep an installation medium, get a big USB stick (or external HD) and tar everything on to it. tar has a test mode, a diff mode and incremental mode, so you can make sure it has everything. you can also exclude things like snaps (they appear twice when installed, so no need to backup both). to restore, you would use the installation medium to fix partitions if necessary, then extract everything and maybe chroot into it and fix the boot loader.

it would be nice, but i only expect them to arrive with the regular package updates, i.e. when a new version of cups with the fix in it is released, not an extra quicker fix from the distro maintainer.

there is no way they can use the AI to teach anything yet. AI lies like 30% of the time. idk what they will use it for; maybe for search, maybe to polish up presentation, but if they try and use it as a teacher it will fail spectacularly.

you should make backups, so you can enjoy being less nervous

Unfortunately a lot of hardware doesn't fit into small phones yet. You can still get small Androids, but no NFC, wireless charging, fingerprint sensor, etc..

I'm writing this on a Samsung S10e, which is the smallest waterproof one with all the nice features I could get at the time. I can do most things one-handed, but need the one-handed mode to reach the 30% of the screen in top corner furthest away from my thumb. pic related:

you mean having a small phone in the first place?

Most Androids have a one-handed mode, where it shrinks the display into a corner, so you can reach everything with your thumb.

you could move the flatpak stuff onto another partition with same permissions and bind mount it to the original location, then persist it with a line in fstab

 

I'm so used to history completion

 

Just the o changes to p which is also next in the alphabet

 
 

The area of the cooling towers of decomissioned nuclear plant Biblis has been hit by a flood, but there seems to be no threat of contamination as the area containing waste material is on slightly higher ground.

 

Information zum Eintreten von Trümmerteilen in die Erdatmosphäre - Deutschland

Im Zeitraum zwischen dem Mittag des 08. März und dem Mittag des 09. März wird der Wiedereintritt eines größeren Weltraumobjektes in die Erdatmosphäre erwartet, das möglicherweise zersplittern wird. Bei dem Objekt handelt es sich um Batteriepakete der Internationalen Raumstation ISS. Leuchterscheinungen oder die Wahrnehmung eines Überschallknalls sind möglich. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit des Auftreffens von Trümmerteilen in Deutschland, ist nach jetzigen Informationen als sehr gering einzuschätzen. Sollte sich das Risiko erhöhen, erhalten Sie eine neue Information. Eine Übersicht über die zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt wahrscheinliche Überflugbahn finden Sie hier: https://bbk.bund.de/ueberflug

 

I saw this funny code block I linked, but it's missing a dollar sign when viewed in Sync.

I don't even know where to report bugs and if its github I won't because github is becoming cancer and i deleted my account.
