@wolf480pl @spoofy IPP is that standard. Been defacto standard for print on Linux for a decade or so

Short term....we have two cross-platform browser engines.
Both maintained by advertising companies - both with a multitude of forks claiming to disable and/or patch out the bad stuff.
But ultimately, both base browsers - and this the underlying web standards - are being primarily driven by the needs of advertisers.
When people tell you who they are; believe them.
Mozilla is an ad company now, and will eventually seek to make Firefox ad-friendly, with a wrapping of "privacy".
And for some of you that privacy - the differential kind, safeguarded by promises - and maybe some regulation - will be enough.
Perhaps it's even a direction you would want the web to go in.
For others thought, myself included, that path is a betrayal of 2+ decades of the dream of what the web should be.
@me @sundogplanets Thunderbird moved to a Snap at some point. It's likely the old profile folder is still there and just needs copying.
So to recap:
- Every Rust user seems to have lost interest in debuggers because they can println!. But I found a structure that crashes when you println!("{:?}") it.
- rust-gdb seems literally broken; unwrapping enums, etc is hard, no apparent syntax to extract a value from a Vec
- No Rust debugger support in Sublime…?
- VS Code debugger support so anemic it barely exists, maybe gets me out of THIS hole but I won't be using it again
- Everybody says use "Rover" so I guess I have to do that
@bibliolater @volkris @QOTO web interface seems OK here too now
Prime's gonna add more ads. They brought in ads in January, and people didn't cancel their Prime subscriptions, so Amazon figures that they can make Prime even worse and make more money:

@volkris @bibliolater @QOTO I dread to think of the state of their patchset. Maybe just decided to migrate to vanilla Mastadon and rebase or even redo from scratch all the changes...
@bibliolater @volkris @QOTO Tusky seems happy...

I am still as excited about computers, networks, and the law as I was when I first started out in this space 24ish years ago. I hope to continue for years to come.
But wow have I got grumpier, and more concerned, in that time.
Day by day, Free software, and the rights of privacy and freedom of expression, feel ever more important to me.
So it was only a hundred years ago- 1924 -when someone figured out the Sun, and all the rest of the stars, were made mostly of hydrogen with some helium. All the other elements were in trace amounts
She was a student at Harvard named Cecilia Payne.
At the time the consensus was that stars were made up of pretty much what Earth was made of.
It took 4 more years for a man to claim the discovery before it was widely accepted, with him as discoverer.
It's all hers now.
