If we went back to that, I'd probably immediately miss the days when objects in our day-to-day were attainable for one Euro or so :-)

Not at all, the old, chunky office printers you get for cheap work even without any special driver or so, just postscript. (You might get better quality for pictures with the original driver, but for simple letters it just works.)

Edit: Where HP really sucks is the consumer market.

I had a Brother printer, the costs were prohibitive. For over a decade now buy discarded office laserjet printers, chunky as hell, but for 100€ you get tens of thousands of pages out of them. And for those 100€, often a duplex unit is included. Am currently on my 2nd printer over 15 years.

Sounds like "screen"? (I never heard about tmux until today, I work a lot with Linux on a daily base, maintaining servers etc. I use screen a lot.)

I think that's a fundamental problem: A tool like faceit takes freedom from the user away. If it was open source (i.e. modifiable), it could lie in favour of its owner. Since Linux is open source, a good programmer could probably get Linux to lie to the tool to send the wrong data and therefore allow cheating. Controlling the user requires a system the user has no control over :-)

If the LED is more or less on the surface, it works, although I don't like the look much. If the LED is somehow deeper inside, to give an "elegant" shine spread through a bigger area of the casing surface, tape doesn't work well...

The case is waterproof, I'm not sure that's still so once I temper with is.

My other concern is I'm not 100% sure, if LEDs are always on a separate path or maybe part sometimes part of a signal path, i.e. if the LED is removed and that current can't flow anymore, could the device stop working.

I wonder which of those appliances will stop working if I drill into the LED with a micro drill... Tape is good, but not perfect. I have a bluetooth speaker in my bedroom, and of all colours it has to use bright blue LEDs as a power on indicator :-( I have the speaker now in a leather bag at night, which does not exactly improve the sound quality.

He's consolidated the military under the MoD umbrella,

Has he? He lost capable military leaders from Wagner, and those forced to fight alongside Russian troops fight now alongside troops which bombed them before. I hardly imagine there is much trust or comrades between Russian military and Wagner troops.

his comradery with Lukashenko likely improved,

It strengthened Lukashenko.

the West is admitting that Ukraine is running out of ammo (thus the cluster ammunition)

... which has nothing to do with the attempted coup

and he (or rather Lukashenko) has a strong private army close to the Ukrainian border, about 90km from Kiev

It really depends if that army still fights for Putin. The smear-campaign against Prigozhin wouldn't make sense in this scenario.

Putin looks like messing about, trying to make the best of the situation, with no clear plan. He looks weak, and maybe worse, plan-less.

They could just charge for-profit companies instead.

How? The whole point of the GPL is that they can't.

According to https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/commits/main, the bug was fixed with https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/commit/00f9f79a44887869dcdc3fe5bd1dabbbdc080cec and is part of release 0.18.1, right? I usually wouldn´t recommend to install the release candidate, except for testing, but since this is still 0.X anyway...

Well, most animals are plant-based...
