Oh, yuck.  Yet another thing in the mix.  Three daemons just to use a
printer!  Really?!

You might, but I don't.  Currently on FC26, that uname thing in my
signature is a script that runs whenever I post, it's not static.

There is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see
the messages posted to the mailing list.

It seems the modern trend with Linux programmers is to change existing software
so that it's more annoying to use (e.g. making reboots required, when they
never used to be), then denying that *that* is a nuisance, then saying it's
necessary (ignoring that several years of prior versions didn't have that
stupid requirement), then complaining about being criticised for making things
worse.  Don't try giving me an Emperor's New Clothes routine, it won't wash.
