No worries. Somewhere, somehow, the solution awaits.

Sorry to inform you that besides filling my hard drive with unnecessary clutter, my printer remains as was.

Now… How do I purge my system from all this?

bash simply returns a command not found message when invoking gutenprint-printer-app

I haven’t installed the GUI

The printer remains as is, faulty

I’ve installed the gutenprint driver but my specific printer is not listed as a supported model. Testing it as I write this but with no particular hopes…

edit: and no, it still prints one sheet at a time, no duplex, and it botching the image printing quality

install.sh: 27: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Just like that.

Debian stable

I get the reference and I second that one.

We can ask some russian citizens if they’re available. Until that opportunity presents itself, we’ll have to make do with whatever information we can access and read it with a good dose of skepticism.

Just this morning, I was looking at a tv screen when it was announced a new study had concluded nearly 68% of russians still lament the disband of the soviet union.

Propaganda as it is, even if we cut those numbers by two thirds, it’s still too many people longing by one of the most brutal totalitarian regimes that has ever existed.

As a side note: I worked for some time with a company that imported machinery from Ukraine and Belarus, in the 2000’s, and I saw the amount of graffiti with USSR simbology that was plastered on the crates. Some people don’t allow it to just shrivel and die silently.

This isn’t to say the USSR did not created good things.

I worked with a fellow from Romania and he was appalled with how bad by comparison my country’s public health care system was.

But the numbers tally a grimm story of the USSR and the wrongs vastly outnumber the rights.

You be the judge of it:

• punched through a tempered, textured, 3mm thick glass, leading to several cuts on a hand and wrist
• kicked a glass panel on a door and got a nasty cust on my toe
• several instances of cutting myself on different types of thorny bushes
• perforation with glasses rim on my eyebrow
• severe cut on my other eyebrow, another on the bridge of my nose
• broken arm, twice
• fall from a 1st floor balcony, landing on a bush, after breaking a cabinet with my back and legs, until finally reaching the ground
• hundreds, if not thousands, of small scrapes and bruises
• bitten by dogs, leading to deep gouges, on my calves
• severe tear on the back of my left hand, with a broken bone, not exposed, leading to surgery
• many, many, many sprained ankles and wrists
• three pulled teeth plus all the bleeding from losing my baby teeth
• minor burns on hands and fingers, from cooking
• several nasty cuts from kitchen knives and a perforation by a lobster spike, which led to a severe infection, with a piece of lobster shell stuck underneath a finger nail
• a few near choking to death episodes
• two electrocussion incidents (230V), for mere seconds

There are a few EU alternatives. Why are those not being considered.

LiberaPay is one.

I’m not against supporting a software in a recurring form but the web browser is essentially the lock and key of accessing the entirery of what exists outside your machine.

That would garner an immense power to whichever entity developing one. Remember Microsoft and the IE case.

Firefox is not perfect and apparently on a downwards spiral but what made it stand out was because it wanted to be free and for all. Chrome is far from being a good thing.

Hey, Nelson! How are you doing? Are they busting your chops?

I did and nowhere is Signal mentioned in the article.

You state Whatsapp uses Signal. So, again: how?

To my knowledge, under Signal, the encription keys are locally generated and stored, and the traffic flows between end points as a closed packet.

This does not seem to be the case here, as the keys are generated and stored outside your equipment and, thus, are viable to be used by a third party to access packets.

But I admit I speak heavily burdened by technical ignorance.

How?

Still too rich for my blood

That sounds very nice!

I don’t have the money for a FairPhone.

But unplug from the net? Sounds strange. The model I checked is a fully fledged smartphone. Nothing that signaled the phone was about not having advanced functionalities.
