@oneloop@mastodon.xyz You have replaced the auto-creation of your print queue by cups-browsed by just creating a permanent CUPS queue for your printer in driverless IPP (IPP Everywhere) mode. This is more reliable. #OpenPrinting

Many subject matters are important to be made aware of. And in case that one of the videos you did not like so much, in the end you always learn how to free up some storage space ...

The video, with its thumbnail telling that it is all about the XZ problem, started right away with that it all started with a jamming printer, so not knowing in these first seconds that they also explain the origin of FOSS, my first thought got "Was it me?" ... but seconds later I saw that it was about Richard Stallman. Both Richard and me, our work was triggered by printers, Richard created the concept of FOSS and I created OpenPrinting ... https://openprinting.github.io/OpenPrinting-News-September-2023/ #OpenPrinting

@Daojoan@mastodon.social I am posting news about my work at #OpenPrinting regularly and did already for more than 5 years. I intentionally do this as a written blog and not as videos, as on the blog you can search text, easily navigate, you can copy example code and paste, auto translators work better on written than on spoken text, same for accessibility tools ... Or do you prefer watching an old graybeard talking, and for those who want video, I get interviewed here and then. https://openprinting.github.io/news/

@jnsgruk@hachyderm.io @popey@mastodon.social No self-3D-printing required. There is a case from CoolerMaster which fits a @frameworkcomputer@fosstodon.org 13 motherboard so that you can use it like a PC. I got a (now older) RISC-V motherboard from @deepcomputingio@bird.makeup 's CEO Yuning Liang on FOSDEM 2025 for testing printing on RISC-V and I got it in such a case. The case has Wi-Fi antennas (with adapter to connect to the board), VESA (100 mm) mount, stand. No RISC(V), no fun! #OpenPrinting #RISC_V
