    This shit has really gotten out of hand.

    Hell, I’m afraid to scan in my mom’s old hand written recipes because the fine print says I’d no longer own them.

    Damn fucking nerd reich assholes ruin everything.

      Use Linux?

      I’m not firmly saying that’s the answer, but have you considered it?

        Yes. But my scanner is from brother and their drivers are crap on all platforms.

        I managed to get it to work with my Mac book yesterday. Evidently windows 11 is even worse.

        If the apple craps out I’ve got an old pc with linux mint I can try. But mint never worked well on it.

        I’d like to say i created it, but i didn’t, been around for a while.

        “In his new book, journalist Gil Duran argues that a small circle of Silicon Valley billionaires and the venture capitalists who fund them have concluded that democracy is in their way and that they should be governing in its place.”
