That is not exactly what they are saying. You could create a private fork of a public repo and the code in your private fork is publicly accessible.

Thanks. I’ll let him know. I think he has either a Canon or Lexmark.

My elderly neighbor who is an accomplished engineer and has been using Linux for ages recently upgraded his distro. I think he is using Ubuntu or Fedora. Now whenever he prints pages every line of text has a line through it.

He has been able to verify that it is not his printer. He has tried a Live CD as well and is having the same issue. When he goes back to the old version things print fine.

He surmises it is some sort of diagnostic feature in CUPS or some other part of the printing subsystem that is improperly turned on by default.

Has anyone seen this before? I am not a Linux expert, but I would like to help him out.

This is a bit tricky. It’s almost like those “ask your doctor if ___ is right for you” commercials except they are connecting you to the doctor as well.

The doctors will hopefully not be too heavily encouraged to just prescribe whatever the site/patient recommend without a regular evaluation.

Eli Lily clearly thinks this can boost demand for their medications. Increased, easier access to medical care is a good thing. Making medical care a part of the sales motion probably is not.

Hopefully this will be implemented in a way that leads to good health outcomes.

Thanks for summarizing this up for us. It will be interesting to see where this goes.

Amazon has been progressively getting worse and worse. I was not a member of Prime for the video. It was a nice perk.

The combination of Amazon making it hard to search for things to buy, the huge amount of low quality crap for sale with confusing descriptions, and this most recent change of putting in place ads if I do not pay an additional fee has led me to cancel my subscription.

They have taken the enshittification too far. Good bye Amazon. Hello Home Depot, Target, et al.

My Mom says it does the same to her. Then she eats Dorito chips or uses a seasoning in it that has MSG and nothing happens. When I point that out she is still convinced that it gives her migraines and maybe those things just don’t have enough of it.

🤷

It is indirectly linked from the article via a “the service formerly known as Twitter” link.

We could start by having both on new signs. Over many years the majority of signs would eventually have both. Then, maybe 15 years from now, we could drop the imperial measurements from all new signs. I think that would help with cost.

(Adjust timeframe based on the average useful life of a sign plus an extra margin.)

I am having the same issue. I’m in with Mlem, but I can not log in on the site. I even tried it with content blockers off in case there was a captcha or something being blocked.

I think Bitcoin is more of a gamble than it is an investment. You can do well with it, sure, but it can be very volatile.

Bitcoin does not, for that reason, feel like an appropriate investment vehicle for a state government.

I think you need to search for it on lemmy.world and then subscribe and post from there. I’ve had luck copying the urls and pasting them into the lemmy.world search.

I’m on the bandwagon of no “smart home” devices that connect to the cloud. I build a lot my own little controllers with the ESP8266/ESP32 using MQTT to communicate with OpenHAB.

OpenHAB has served me well, but I started using it so long ago that I have not tried out some of the newer options like HomeAssistant.

Here is one of the devices I developed. https://www.instructables.com/Introducing-Climaduino-The-Arduino-Based-Thermosta/

The code referenced in the Instructable is much older code. I don’t think I have my current and much simpler code on Github. If there is any interest, I can push it.
