I do various technology related things. You can find my website here, which has links to my weblog, projects, and profiles on other services.
I wonder if even just an open source firmware for printers could work.
I have a Brother printer that barely works with anything, but on Linux it works perfectly fine.
I haven’t used Stack Overflow in a while so I forgot about most of those features, and as long as it also uses ActivityPub it doesn’t really matter that much if it is a different platform. I think some of those features could even be useful on Lemmy (tagging posts would be nice and maybe community-editable posts could be a thing that communities could choose to enable).
Lemmy could be that, just have programming (and other) Q&A communities here.
I wanted to implement the pics into the post via
![alt text](image url)
But it was not working for the upscayl version, sorry.
I just had to copy the link that the Download original image
button pointed to and remove the ?dl=1
from the end, and that gave me this URL which points to the image and can be embedded in the post.
I was thinking someone could make a firmware like Tasmota but for printers that can be installed on many existing printers, and a company could make a printer that runs that is designed to run that firmware just like how you can get smart home devices designed to run Tasmota. Also, we just need printers that properly support IPP.
