Ok, I have to try lancer now.

Good idea.

And you expect them to answer questions about the philosophical beliefs of the artist?

Just out of curiosity, who is this question directed at?

Well lets have a serious discussion. According to your worldview, why is there such wealth inequality in the USA?

These are just some charts that display some basic data, of course the matter is more complicated.

Honesty, I thought you were a far-right german, based on how you called all leftists lazy and your username and instance being german. But I see you deleted your previous comment, so I looked at a bit of your comment history, and I was apparently mistaken. My apologies for lumping you in with neo-nazis.

I just cannot fathom what brings someone to make blanket statements about giant groups of people like that, other than ignorance and/or propaganda indoctrination.

I’ve never seen an AFD guy on lemmy, this is a first for me.

This is awesome. I hope more innovations in this direction follow.

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.

Thanks so much for catching that!

Well, there is this:

Otherwise, I think the best way to go forward is just to watch tutorials and practice. I made the transition several years ago, and it helped to have the expectation similar to learning a new language. The more you accept that you will have to take it slow and look everything up at the beginning, the better your experience will be.

Cool, thanks! I’m just getting started with self-hosting, so I doubt that I will need such on-demand scaling, but now I know where to find it if that changes.

I have eOS on the fairphone 5, and I have had zero problems with banking apps and the like.

That doesn’t mean you won’t have problems though, I don’t use many of those kinds of apps other than a bank authentication app, and a few others for public transit tickets, etc. I also live in europe, milage may vary elsewhere.

Keep in mind that eOS IS android, just with google telemetry removed. You can add a google account if you want/need to, at which point any android app should work as expected. That of course defeats the purpose somewhat, but even then eOS will still help you stay as private as possible by informing you about app trackers and using alternative services for location, etc.

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.
