[Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company

[jumpingspiderman@lemmy.world]

and to be as amoral as possible.

sorry maybe I missed a memo, people are still printing things.. like, on paper?

[sanpo@sopuli.xyz]

Thanks for the link.

Looks like not really closed-source, but not fully open as the previous printers were.
And the reasoning is the usual, other companies stealing their designs.

[criticalmiss@lemmy.world]

I personally don’t, on the off chance I do need to print something I do it at work.

Great, brother are the only ones I'll still buy.

I trust the library a lot more than I trust Staples or a similar for-profit business.

Yeah, with the Vault 7 releases and recent leaks showing NSA follows homeless people's connections (who tend to hang out at libraries due to a lack of 3rd spaces), I don't doubt there's specific tracking, malware and other unwanted software at libraries. I don't have any sources of this, but it wouldn't surprise me

Maybe I'm overly parandoid because ::gestures at everything::

[biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works]

Same but I thought Louis had a brother who became evil for some reason

[cocopanda@futurology.today]

Me too! I was like. Who is this brother? How have we not met him!

good news is modern Linux has great support for printers
