So … now we have plausible gibberish … also known as Autocorrect on Steroids … that includes corporate sponsorship… seems like we’re moving closer to the true meaning of advertising with every iteration.

Next we’ll be asked to pay for this feature … oh wait.

I can’t wait until the Assumed Intelligence bubble finally bursts and takes with it some of the largest companies in the world … perhaps this is how we finally address climate change.

In my experience, the best way to get a cat to come to you is to completely ignore it. More often than not it will come to investigate.

As best as I can tell, it’s simply impossible for a cat to imagine that you’re not aware of them, like they are hyper aware of you, and ignoring it signals that you don’t think that it’s a threat. Mutual slow blinking may or may not be involved.

Note that I’m not a cat expert, haven’t lived with a cat since I was eight, but most cats seem to come over to say “Hi” when I’m visiting friends, to the point where owners seem to regularly exclaim that they’ve never seen their cat come over to a stranger.

YMMV.

Because they’re all copying each other’s homework?

Be the change you want to see and review them yourself.

And precisely how will you achieve the minimum standard of sustaining human life … trivial things like food and lodging?

More likely than not you’re confusing modifier keys.

On the Mac, the zoom is [Command] + [+].

In Linux it’s [Control] + [+]

This is pretty much true across the board. It’s sometimes non-obvious because wrappers like UTM try to “help”.

The alternative is to ssh into the VM and continue to use the MacOS shortcuts you’re used to.

It’s dinner time and why haven’t you fed me yet?

I’m clearly starving, why haven’t you fed me yet?

I’m not kidding around, why haven’t you fed me yet?

Kali ≠ Debian

I did not see an apt-get update

In my experience, unmet dependencies are unlikely to happen on a stable version where you only installed from the official repo.

The LZMA decompression errors point at a much more fundamental issue. I’m suspecting that the repository URLs point at non standard locations or downloads were interrupted, though I’m not sure exactly how, since AFAIK, apt checks the checksum.

If you must have something that’s not In your distro, do yourself a favour and install Docker and run your package inside there, much less chance of killing your system.

Well, unless it came back in the last 25 minutes, it’s working fine in Western Australia.

Interesting.

My native phone app also supports call recording, but it needs to be manually activated each time.

Given the massive layoffs happening under the Assumed Intelligence banner, the answer has always been: “cheaper labour”

Apparently people who actually know how to do their ICT job are too expensive, right until the shit hits the fan, at which point it’s “drop everything and help me, now!”

Organisations are no longer run by Founders, instead they’re run by accountants and lawyers who only care about shareholder value, not the societal or environmental impact.

When the bubble finally explodes we’re going to be looking at an altered economic and technology landscape, if we don’t self ignite before that.

Yes. Look up LOGO.

How would you suggest I respond in the future?

We have a person, claiming that CUPS doesn’t work and they now uninstall it on every installation.

There is no context, no data, no information that suggests what the issue is, what they tried, when this occurred, on which platform, under which conditions.

In other words, the user was essentially saying “CUPS sux”.

Having used Linux as my main system for over 25 years, that sentiment did not match my own experience, does not help anyone, not me, not the user and not the OP who was trying to solve a problem, let alone anyone else reading along.

I responded accordingly.

This has not been my experience … at … all.

Perhaps it would be helpful to discover what exactly doesn’t work for you and fix that, rather than remove CUPS because one time it didn’t work for you seven years ago.

You could print to CUPS from the other devices and potentially bypass all those shenanigans.

Also, CUPS has a PDF printer which saves you from even heating up your printer at all … I haven’t had a printer in my life for over 25 years.

It’s likely going to take down whole companies if not countries.

Wait until you see our dropbears. .

And we’re still stuck with its aftermath in that search engines require quotes rather than a + for requiring words, which they now ignore whenever the mood strikes.

Why?

Because some fuckwit at Google decided that the + was reserved for Google+ search results.

Except that in civil discussion with experts, other ideas are what helps people arrive at a solution suitable for them and their situation.

I’ll also add that I’ve been a Linux user for 25 years and the toxicity you claim in relation to the Linux community is in my experience not evident as a “major reason”, instead I’ve found it to be innovative and flexible with a wide perspective and approach to problem solving.

Are there dickheads in the Linux community? Yes, just like there are everywhere in society.
