The consortium clearly has too much money.

It means your coffee pod machine just came online and the coffee is currently spewing from the spout … probably.

Does this mean that the reverse is also true?

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.

Oblivious or Complicit, neither is something you want to run your government.

So the people in that office are either oblivious, or complicit.

I wonder if the USA will run out of essential items before or after the next election.

There’s 10 types of people, those who understood binary …

Always!

Aka Swaziland.

Just Americans?

Given the level of financial inequality across the planet, I’d hazard a guess that this experience is significantly more widespread than just one country.

Sewerage explosion imminent.

I’m in Australia and there’s a significant proportion of the population that wants to emulate the USA.

WTF?

Excellent idea … one question … what are you going to do while these people are still alive in order to actually … be able to celebrate the dedication … with your sanity in tact … so you know that it’s actually worth celebrating?

I’ve run my business for over 25 years, and I haven’t had a printer in over two decades. I have needed to print something less than half a dozen times since making the decision to not replace it. Instead I print to PDF and if I need actual physical paper, I’ve put a PDF on a USB flash drive and taken it to my local office supplies store to print on demand.

I have a scanner, it’s been used perhaps a dozen times in the same period.

In other words, have you considered not buying a printer?

Here’s the thing … as crazy as a notebook with passwords sounds, it’s not accessible to someone across the internet.
