I wonder if even just an open source firmware for printers could work.
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 have a Brother printer that barely works with anything, but on Linux it works perfectly fine.
5·1 year agoI 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 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.
