I remember when toilet cameras were illegal and only on porn sites.

Guess everything changes when there’s money to be made.

Usually for these devices the application generates ZPL printer data directly. What application are you thinking of using?

Zebra indicates that there are CUPS drivers available for their printers on “some Linux distributions”

There’s also this GitHub repo which promises a better PPD file for Zebra printers.

Maybe they shouldn’t be buying from fucking Amazon.

Seems to be referring specifically to federation with Threads

Rochko shared why Threads federation fell flat (emphasis mine)

Yep, exactly. The distinction among:

• “I’m Neil”
• “Call me Neil”
• “My name is Neil”

For most cases they are equivalent.

Or “Hi, call me Neil” or “You - you get to call me Neil”.

Cool, not ones I’ve heard of. Definitely been there in the “deep in rules figuring-out, fuck this not tonight” before (that was for Ruhr which I have since come to adore)

I think it’s to make it less ambiguous.

In English you just use the same word and figure it out from context. Someone else gave some other Spanish examples but I like “right” (direction) = “la derecha” vs “right” (human rights) = “los derechos”.

Of course there’s still so many variants of meaning that grammatical gender doesn’t help much.

What game?

You nailed this perfectly.

That’s been the opposite of my ADHD experience.

Board game rules are almost always exceptionally clear and unambiguous. For me they are a dream, and I love being the rules guy in my game group.

I wish more instructions in different fields were so clear.

There are some games for which it works, others for which it does not.

Because it’s cheap to produce, or at least the cost is externalized away from them.

… 9/10 response. I chuckled!

That’s not really a hierarchy thing though.

Just a measure of how skilled / experienced someone is, and how suitable it is for them to be teaching someone else.

I think we need more people sharing their knowledge and we don’t need the blind leading the blind.

I’ll add the PineTime to that. Doesn’t do anything too fancy but it works well enough.

Right here.
