Ok, I have to try lancer now.

If your PC has multiple ssd slots, then you can consider dual boot so that you can just keep the windows install there for using such programs.

If you do not have that option, then connecting to your printer should work without the proprietary program, you just need the correct drivers. Then linux programs will be able to print directly to the priner.

Scanning is a different issue, this depends on your printer, the distro you use, and the available programs. You will have to do some research here.

The PC settings can sometimes be accessed in bios, and sometimes there are open-source versions of such control apps on github or similar sites. Again, here you will have to do some research.

I agree 100%. It’s amazing how stable these distros are.

I agree that those issues can be frustrating (I came from arch and now use bazzite, so I do have some cli headaches sometimes), but most newbies are not going to even open a terminal imho. For them it is unmatched in terms of stability and ease-of-use.

I do agree with you that anyone who tinkers with electronics or software should start with something else though.

I’m not disagreeing with the opinion that imperialism is one of the biggest large-scale problems facing humanity, and that the US is the current worst offender.

I’m just pointing out that at the root of imperialism are a few powerful people attempting to rule over the rest of us. Tech-feudalism in the digital world is another huge problem, as is the rise of fascism. And they all come from class warfare, at least in my humble opinion.

But I am also not pretending to be as informed on history and current events as many other here, and I am no attempting to lecture anyone as if I know better. That would just be decisive and counterproductive.

I agree, I just like to remind people what the end goal is.

The only conflict that matters is the class conflict. Everything else is a distraction. Eat the rich.

Perhaps I was too harsh. My apologies. I’m just very worried about how people deal with information and truth recently.

No, he didn’t. Please, for your sake and ours, learn to search for facts yourself instead of asking strangers on the internet to do it for you.

Yeah, DCSS will do that sort of stuff from time to time. But you were smart, and you avoided it! Good for you.

Oh my sweet summer child.

Nice!

I just took a look at the history, the first version I played was 0.4 or 0.5. They didn’t have the tiles version back then, and still to this day I prefer the ASCII version. I. Am. Old.

18 years! I’d like to see another game that can be entertaining for so long.

Nice. I’ve been playing DCSS longer than anything else, and it still entertains me endlessly. I mostly play a F-Droid port on my phone that is still on 0.29, but whatever, every version is fun.

Fascinating. Thanks for posting!

It would most likely be locally available molecules in the gaseous phase.

THIS IS AWESOME!!! I’ve been working on using an obsidian vault and a podman ollama container to do something similar, with VSCodium + continue as middleware. But this! This looks to me like it is far superior to what I have cobbled together.

I will study your codeberg repo, and see if I can use your conductor with my ollama instance and vault program. I just registered at codeberg, if I make any progress I will contact you there, and you can do with it what you like.

On an unrelated note, you can download wikipedia. Might work well in conjunction with your conductor.

Perhaps that was exactly the intent, to ensure that only actual humans read the content? Germans certainly are a breed of their own, but if they (generally speaking, of course) are not ones to do something odd like that without intent.

It’s easy to attack him for it, but the truth of the matter is: the Zionist billionares that fund the Democratic party won’t let him say anything else if he wants a chance at the white house.

And those zionist billionares have been using Israel for decades to suppress socialism in the middle east, while using campaign finance to do the same in the US.

He is helping those that he can by playing the game in a deeply flawed system.

Great! I have no use for clamAV myself, but so many people do, and an updated GUI for it is something that has been missing for a while now.
