Yup! I had a little difficulty communicating with the computer, but all I had to do was add my user to the “dial-out” group and it worked like a charm.

I don’t know what CUPS is, but I had 3 major reservations about switching my barely functional computer to Linux:

1. Ive never worked in Linux before
2. My dive computer only uploads to proprietary software using a proprietary cable.
3. My Brother laser printer was working SO well wirelessly. It’s the first time I’ve ever not hated my printer

Turns out some amazing people made open source dive logging software so I can still download my dives.

And for printing, I meant to get around to setting it up, then one day I forgot and accidentally printed something and it just worked. I was so shocked that for a bit I assumed that reformatting the hard drive and changing operating systems must’ve somehow preserved my printer settings.

I had an apartment in Indiana. When I gave directions to my house I used to say, “turn right at the traffic light. There’s corn on the left, my house is on the right. If you hit the soy you’ve gone too far.”

Ouch, I feel that one.

Sweet, I didn’t know you could shorthand it with just @asklemmy and it would auto-linkify. Thanks.

I’m the problem. As feared I fudged it up as I was rushing to type it up on my phone. As @CoderKat mentioned, the problem with typing it out as /m instead of using @, is that you have to manually enter the visible text in [ ] and the hyperlink in ( ). I got the hyperlink correct and beefed it on the visible text.

I thought it worked if you just linked /c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
With the only caveat being that users on kbin will need /m/asklemmy.ml

I would normally test the crap out of these before posting since I really don’t know what I’m doing, but I’m on my phone and mostly busy at the moment. Sorry if it doesn’t work.

At work, I have a reputation for being the guy who never shuts up about trying to get new people into scuba diving. If there are 2 or more divers at the lunch table I honestly feel a little bad for everybody else. The cost of getting trained and renting or buying all your gear can scare people away, but I would at least strongly recommend that anybody on an island vacation or cruise at least try a “discover Scuba” class. You’ll learn everything you need to know to not die by watching a quick video, and working in a pool, then you get to go have an amazing dive in the ocean with an instructor.
