If you use Windows, you can just do the following:

1. Go to the control panel, then devices and printers.
2. Right click on your printer, but make sure it is connected first.
3. You should be able to see “Scan” as one of the options, click on it.

And you’re done! You do not need any special programs or anything like that because Windows already has a built-in one.

Some things just don’t work properly on Linux without doing a lot of tinkering, while on Windows doing the same particular thing works effortlessly. For example, if you want to have an overlay that shows performance stats such as FPS, CPU Temp, CPU Utilization,etc…, while playing a video game, on Windows you can just run MSI Afterburner, simple as that. On Linux, there this tool called Mangohud, while it’s a great tool, it doesn’t come with a GUI (of course it doesn’t, many Linux developers are GUI-phobic for some reason.) So, you either have to do a lot of tinkering with configuration files to get it work and then run it from the terminal, or you use another program called GOverlay, which is a graphical program that utilizes Mangohud among other tools. But guess what? It’s broken at the moment, the thing just outright refuses to work properly, so you’re stuck with using configuring Mangohud on your own! This is just one example of the many things that are frustrating on Linux but are otherwise convenient on Windows.

Ohh ok, I know get it. You’re right.

I’m not talking about liking the video, I’m talking about viewing the video. Viewing the video, especially a large part of it, will contribute to the watch time, therefore affecting the algorithm’s recommendations.

You most probably viewed these types of videos a few times and the algorithm started recommending them to you. It only takes a couple of videos for the algorithm to start recommending video of the same topic. You could easily solve this by clicking on the 3 dots next to the video and then selecting “Not interested”, do it enough times and they’ll be gone from your feed.

The new internet feels like a workplace where people want to run to HR to report anyone who acts out so that they’ll get what’s coming to them.

This. Probably the most thing I hate about today’s internet, bunch of over-protected snowflakes who get offended by anything.
