My new printer stopped working under #LinuxMint the other day. Re-adding it resulted in a general error message.
Finally found the solution:
In the printer's "location" field, I had specified "Mein Büro" ("My office" in German). And Cups does not like umlauts in that field. 😶
After removing the "ü", the printer worked.
Maybe this information will be helpful to someone, at some point. 🙂

Let's ask the real question:
Firefox users,
do you want any AI directly built into Firefox, or separated out into extensions?

After writing so much software in C# and TypeScript during the past years, I felt a bit burned out.
- Decided I need a little "OOP detox"
- Dived a little into Rust for a while
- Result: great language, but did not fully click in some aspects
So now I am doing the only sensible thing:
Getting back into C. 😄

Thank you for your amazing videos! 🧡
I will be switching back to Linux soon on my main PC, so all the tips and encouragements you offer in your videos are greatly appreciated! 🥰
I will gladly support you! Since both Patreon & Kofi are fine for me: which of the two gives you the best "cut" / payout?

✨ Recently Played ✨
💀👻 An English Haunting 👻💀
by @npub14ep…azp5 tells a ghost story that takes place in England and is set in 1907.
You play the role of a university professor who sets out to prove that ghosts and the afterlife exist.
The story is well-written and includes several creepy moments! 😱
If you liked the spiritual predecessor / sequel "Nightmare Frames", you should give this one a try as well! 🧡

:windows: ➡️ :linux:
I am mentally preparing to switch back to Linux some time next year, when support for Windows 10 runs out.
To ease myself into it, I will try out Linux Mint (in both the Xfce & Cinnamon flavor) in VirtualBox over the next couple of weeks, and see if I can make it work for me! 🙂
