Conversely, I have a recent-ish (<5yrs old) Brother inkjet printer that’s waiting to be dumped to recycling because it arbitrarily decided that it didn’t ever need to be discoverable or respond to any print requests one day, and so even though there was nothing mechanically wrong with it, even hooking up a Raspberry Pi to run CUPS over USB didn’t fix the issue – because Brother explicitly refuses to publish drivers for the Raspberry Pi, and their inkjet drivers are proprietary.

I’ve since replaced it with the best-reviewed Epson printer I could find that supports a generic PCL driver, so that if Epson ever loses their minds in the way Brother did, I can fall back on an open-source implementation of good ol’ PCL.

That thing’s given us no issues so far.

Sadly, here in Georgia, pretty decent odds.

I was pretty sure Firefox provides a Gecko-powered webview. Maybe that has changed since I last checked.

As a frustrated Christian, I think I’d say it’s most accurate to say that Trump embodies Conservatives, Republicans, and Evangelicals, all of whom have apparently no clear code of conduct or definition beyond “seize power, worship the perceived strong man, crush the marginalized.”

Christian, though…there’s a least a definition there (“follower of Christ”) that excludes Trump — not only does Trump not care at all about Christ except as an incantation to get votes, but he directly contradicts the things Christ taught.

I don’t get why this is a headline.

There are two pieces of non-new information from this headline:

1. People throw away pamphlets that they don’t care about (and also pamphlets that they do care about, but that’s not what’s happening here).
2. Boebert doesn’t care about school shootings.

…like…I get that this gives someone their outrage fix for the day, but we’ve learned nothing new from it, and it has no long-term impact. If Boebert took this pamphlet to her house and then ignored it, nothing would be different. She’d still be callous and uncaring towards the victims of school shootings.
