Yes you can.

Nope. Some people do care though. I'm more concerned with the interest rate as it makes a big difference to my mortgage.

MacOS should use CUPS - I believe Apple developed it or at least did some major work on it.

The platform will work for all motorists, not just car users, and you'll be able to use it both private AND council-run car parks – provided operators sign up to it.

Hmm.

Yep, I've never needed to ask a question on Stack Overflow as everything I've searched for has been answered already... or I've looked elsewhere for the answer as I'm not allowed to upvote, downvote or ask questions on it anyway due to lack of karma (or whatever they call it). No wonder it's in decline if nobody new is allowed to contribute, and every new question is closed as a duplicate.

Yep, SANE is great.

As a non-free alternative, VueScan is pretty good too.

Are we sharing pylons?

Muon.

Does SSH, SFTP and other stuff.

As far as I can tell, no.

I am old.

This is great! The science teacher who used to also look after all the computers at my school was a big fan of the Acorn Archimedes/RISC PC (quite standard school computers in my day due to the BBC computer literacy stuff, where Acorn won the contract for the BBC Micro). We had a couple of PCs (RM Nimbus) which didn't get as much use. I believe the plan was to switch over to PCs running Windows (95 had been out a couple of years) and because of that he left. I wonder if there was a viable alternative at that point, such as Linux, that he would have stayed.

If you don't believe, you don't get the money.

The tooth fairy isn't going to bother if you can't be bothered to believe in her.

A Short Hike is ace!

Florence - it's short and sweet.

Aha! I turned the notification volume off, not the ring volume. That works, thank you. Still shouldn't be necessary but at least I can shut it up now!

Unfortunately that doesn't help on stock Android.

My workaround is to ask Gemini to take a screenshot. It's ridiculous but it works.

I just want to take a screenshot without the loudest possible shutter sound which makes it appear that I'm trying to take covert photos.

I mean, surely a toggle to get rid of that nonsense should be easy? I'm sure it never used to happen a few versions ago.
