A lot of printers are poop. A lot of printer drivers are poop, including ones for Linux. If I want my printer to "just work" then I need to install packages. Luckily Brother produces them, and they have been doing so for years now. I've done several OS upgrades and always had new drivers available to me for them. But if they didn't do that, it would still work, I just wouldn't be able to use it via USB. My Laser PSC supports both printing and scanning via standard protocols. The only thing that wouldn't work is the on-device buttons, which I don't use anyway.

Therefore this is either user error at setup time, or user error at purchase time. That is no comfort to a home user, but we're talking about a nation here.

France says it plans to move some government computers from Windows to Linux as part of a broader push for digital sovereignty and reduced dependence on U.S. technology. TechCrunch reports:
In a statement, French minister David Amiel said (translated) that the effort was to "regain control of our digital destiny"

He forgot the word "partial"

If they want that control they need to at least divest from ALL use of Microsoft "solutions" and possibly also build their own Linux distribution.

There's something to be said that both parties are the same in that they will both go play world police sometimes but for Republicans that means being the piece of shit corrupt cop.

If you've got one bad cop and one "good" cop enabling him, you've got two bad cops. Both parties always vote for more funding for war, which is how this was even possible in the first place.

I feel really awkward, seemingly defending Meta. But, wouldn't you refuse to run ads that targeted you for lawsuits, maligned your business, and threatened your existence?

Ideally, ad platforms wouldn't exist, because the whole point of them is to lie to people so they make shitty decisions. But barring that, they shouldn't be allowed to refuse to serve ads related to malfeasance similar to that of which they have been found accountable in court.

When was the last time we had a draft?

If the world was actually a Patriarchy (which is also designed to protect women) then Marriage would be called Patrimony and the deaths of hundreds of thousands babies through abortion would not occur.

Oh fuck, you're one of those. Never mind, there's no having a rational conversation with you.
