why hasn't anyone else said anything,

This question has been asked a million times. It has been shown time and time again that whether more people come forward has no correlation to how common something is. This is mostly because it's really hard to do so while being bullied (which is really just abuse).

Even an outside investigator might have issues getting the real story, and is biased due to being on the same payroll as all the other employees. I have had personal experience with this: an outside investigator called in to resolve a conflict with a person whose bullying had previously caused multiple people to quit. It was resolved "amicably" (which is to say not at all). An employer only gives a damn so far as their bottom line goes, and that goes for Linus too. This investigator is going to come in and tip-toe around LMG's and Linus's involvement in this, mark my words.

Again, to summarize, Linus saying the things didn't happen is exactly why people don't come forward: my word vs the boss.

I was an avid fan since 2015, fortunately I adopted their perspective about shitty companies and what to do about them. I don't preorder, I don't tolerate shitty ethics, I don't purchase half-finished videos/products, which means I certainly don't consume LTT content.

Madison is a hero for stepping up like this.

My hope was that I would sub a 3 finger control to a 1 finger control, opening up the other two for other things - but thinking about it more now leads me to believe that fingers just wouldn't bend that way.

I think you might be right. It might make sense for me to repurpose an existing design.

That looks like exactly what I'm after, thanks!

There isn't always a victor when there is a loser (and visa versa fwiw). Reddit didn't win here, Redditors lost.

Crunchyroll autogenerated it. I liked it.

There are also PPD files, which you can add to CUPS. I extracted the required file for my Xerox printer from the Windows driver.

It mostly comes down to being as smart about printer brand choice, as you are smart about OS choice. Dell? HP? Have fun sleeping in that grave you dug yourself.

It's not that they hate it, they just don't care at all.

Also, you should use your distro's prepackaged driver - not the Nvidia installer.

I take it you weren't using flakes?

It's been a hot minute since I've used vscode, but you want to invoke the command pallet (Ctrl+P I think) and create a build profile/task/something. You then want to do the same for a debug profile. This will create two files under .vscode - you will need to edit the debug one to add the build task as a dependency for the debug profile.

You could also try running dotnet build in the terminal before doing what you are doing already.

Also vscodium won't work, the debugging plugin is closed source and is only available for vscode.

Printers have always been an issue, especially recently. They love their home-grown (likely inaccessible, I might add) UIs. We had an HP and it was a complete shitshow - the Windows driver would crash whatever app invoked the print dialog for the second time. HP suggested installing their app from the Microsoft store - absolute garbage as you might imagine.

Shit worked flawlessly with Linux.

I replaced the heap of steaming shit with a Xerox Laser printer. Given their corporate background they have less weird shit going on, and that did pay off for my wife's Windows machine. Oh boy, is it still so much more reliable under Linux. I need to install a PPD, which means digging into the CUPS management and things could definitely use improvement there (it works flawlessly, but it's confusing and ugly).

Scanning is sometimes a little hit-and-miss though.
