My new printer stopped working under #LinuxMint the other day. Re-adding it resulted in a general error message.

Finally found the solution:

In the printer's "location" field, I had specified "Mein Büro" ("My office" in German). And Cups does not like umlauts in that field. 😶

After removing the "ü", the printer worked.

Maybe this information will be helpful to someone, at some point. 🙂

Just read the reply of the Krita maintainer:

"Speaking as the Krita maintainer, I don’t want us to accept any LLM-generated code into Krita. [...]"

I absolutely love this definitive and crystal clear stance they take! 🧡

Krita FTW!

This is an awesome album, I just purchased it!

Thank you for sharing your music with us! 🧡

(And if you would consider releasing this on audio cassette, I would also buy it! 🙂)

During the past weekends, I re-watched Phantasm 1 - 4, and then, much to my delight, discovered there is even a fifth one, which I watched last Friday!

Dang, these are *so* good! (Especially the first one, but I liked all the sequels as well)

Everything about them seems so specific, without too much explanation.

They effortlessly create a dreamlike atmosphere that completely drew me in.

Thank you for the reminder! 🧡

(Do you know other movies with such a vibe?)

#Phantasm

🎵 Old music new to me

🔥🎙️ "Ring of Fire" (Cover)

by Wall of Voodoo
from 1980

Wow! 😮
What a fantastic version of this song!

Tagging @HauntedOwlbear , because I think you might like it as well! (And you probably already knew it 😄)

#music #cover #OldMusic

I had totally forgotten about Army of Lovers! 😮

"Crucified" is now stuck in my head! 😅

Thank you for the recommendations! 🧡

@HauntedOwlbear

Things like this drive me crazy! 😕
I switched most of my YT consumption over to the desktop application „FreeTube“. Same videos, but a completely different world!

@timmy @ajsadauskas

I listened to some of songs I found through the A Blaze Ansunz website. 🙂 While I find the general sound very interesting, I think I have to come back to this at another point. Somehow, it feels a bit too "heavy" for my current mood.

(Same goes for a lot of "Dungeon Synth" I randomly found on Band Camp. The songs from "Rogue Radio" & your songs were more lighthearted, but this does not seem to be typical for the genre!)

@HauntedOwlbear

Oh, wow, yes, it is quite different! But also very interesting! 🙂 (I think I haven't really heard much in this direction, I wouldn't even know how to name the genre.)
@HauntedOwlbear

Thank you so much, for the recommendations, and especially for your own tracks! 💜

This musical genre pushes the right buttons for me, it somehow gets me into a "board gaming" mood!

(I created a Soundcloud account to drop you a follow, so I hopefully will catch your new releases!)

@HauntedOwlbear

Wow, this is really impressive! 😮

When I thought about asking you, I was just hoping you had some tips, I did not expect you to have your own compositions!

I love your songs!
Thank you for sharing! ❤️

@HauntedOwlbear

Wait, just so I understand it correctly: are you the author of these songs?

@HauntedOwlbear

🎵 🏰 Tunes I like

I didn't know "Dungeon Synth" was a thing! Now I know. 😊

I am really enjoying the songs of "Rogue Radio" / "Louise Sugden"! 🧡

Two highlights for me:
✨ "Waltz of the Goblin King"
✨ "Press Start"

Tagging @HauntedOwlbear :

Maybe you like it as well, and maybe you even know other artists that go roughly in this direction. 🙂

I was too late to youtube-dlc it, it does not appear for me anymore! 😥

@HauntedOwlbear @supernovacircus

@supernovacircus
Wow, I love all of this! 💖 🎵
Thank you so much!! 🧡

@HauntedOwlbear

I have! 😅 And I enjoyed the music already during my walks! ☀️

I feel the whole algorithmic suggestions don't work so well for me anymore.

(On Spotify, it feels like I "listened myself into a corner".)

The good thing about it: getting real recommendations by human beings again feels even more exciting now! ✨😀

@HauntedOwlbear

Thank you so much for compiling all these recommendations! 🧡

(I *might* have just bought all of these... 😅)

I am completely new to Bandcamp! Today felt like the right time to create an account, and thanks to your tips, I could jump-start my collection!

(I mostly listened to music via Spotify during the past years. But it felt like I always listened to the same things...)

Tomorrow I will start exploring my new collection when I go for a long walk! ✨

@HauntedOwlbear

Oh, wow! I like this a lot! 💞

@HauntedOwlbear

I am so glad I found this artist a while ago! ✨

(The first thing I discovered from them was this wonderful music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrmpZtxr0kY)

I started to support them via Ko-Fi a while ago, and they were even nice enough to include me (and other supporters) as little easter eggs in subsequent videos! 🥰
