					 @lyse @dce It’s pretty cool, I won’t argue that, but also really simple, to be completely honest. 😅  The BIOS already provides all you need to send data to the printer:
https://helppc.netcore2k.net/interrupt/bios-printer-services
The BIOS actually does provide a great deal of things, which, to me, was one of the most surprising learnings of this project (the project of writing a little 16-bit real-mode OS, that is). It often doesn’t feel like I was writing an operating system – it felt more like writing a normal program that just uses BIOS calls like we would use syscalls these days.
(I’ve also read a lot of warnings, like “don’t use the BIOS for this or that”. Mostly because it tends to be very slow.)

But maybe that’s not the case and distros can just continue to ship a 32-bit Firefox …

					 Adoro esse ponto reforçado pelo @lr, no Python Fluente!  Sempre uso uma frase parecida com essa nas minhas aulas!
«Para entender uma atribuição em Python, leia primeiro o lado direito: é ali que o objeto é criado ou recuperado. Depois disso, a variável do lado esquerdo é vinculada ao objeto, como uma etiqueta colada a ele. Esqueça as caixas.»

					I have a late-2010s ThinkPad running OpenBSD, but it's about as fast as a snail carrying heavy shopping through molasses. I'd like to run something other than Linux, for variety, but the other members of the BSD family failed for various reasons. What OS do you guys think I should try?

					Hmm, gnu.org is slow as heck. Shorter HTML pages load in about ten seconds. This complete AWK manual all in one large HTML page took a full minute: https://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawk.html Is there maybe some anti AI shenanigans going on?
In any case, I find the user guide super interesting. My AWK skills are basically non-existent, so I finally decided to change that. This document is incredibly well written and makes it really fun to keep reading and learning. I'm very impressed. So far, I made it to section 1.6, happy to continue.
				
			  		  
			
		
			
					
				
					 It was raining cats and dogs for a few minutes, I almost couldn't see the houses down in the valley anymore. Pretty sick. :-)
@bender Haha, yeah, we're also better off rolling dice sometimes. I usually don't mind liquid sunshine either. But I have to be prepared for it. As a matter of prudence, I brought my rain jacket along. In the end, I was wet from the inside as well, though. The breathability of this plastic bag isn't as good as they always claim it to be. Especially in summer.
@movq I couldn't agree more! :-)

					 @lyse oi, at least you still have weather services. We are soon to find ourselves looking at birds, ants, etc., to get a grasp. 😅
On a weather related topic, we get rains almost each day, mid-afternoon/late-afternoon. That's great, because I love rain, but I also need to mow the wilderness in the back of the house, and the front lawn. So, yeah, kind of a conundrum.

					Three weather services with three different forecasts. We got a little bit rained on, so at least some of them were not completely wrong. The timing was off by an hour, though. And nobody expected the Spanish inqui^W^Wthunder either. It was a nice walk.
Oh cool, as I type this, lighning and thunder very close by now. At most a kilometer away. Glad I'm home and not in the woods anymore. And heavy rain kicks in, too.
