I’ve learned yesterday that #Epson is a #ransomware group. No less.
They use #malware that degrade users computers in order to extort money.

On a Windows computer with Epson software package installed, the software will intentionally degrade the printing quality if it detects non-Epson ink cartridges in the printer. The degradation is so blatant that the output is unusable.

If you remove all Epson software, Windows will happily use its own driver and the output is perfect.

Salut @aprilorg
Je vois que vous avez une page dédiée à votre position sur l’inclusion et la diversité, mais en parallèle vous avez un partenariat avec l’Adullact. Hors ces derniers ont Richard Stallman comme membre d’honneur et vont même le faire intervenir ce jour lors d’un évènement.

Ce serait bien d’aller leur taper sur l’épaule pour leur rappeler que Stallman, en 2025, c’est plus possible.

Merci :)

@stefano anyway, npm / node are just supply chain attacks waiting to happen.

@joel you can’t tunnel/stream: it’s basically a keystroke transport. So lots of ubiquitous SSH uses are unavailable with mosh.

Long time user and advocate of #Firefox I’ve just tested the latest #LibreWolf on #macOS and sadly it doesn’t fit my needs at all. It cannot handle my workload and crashes badly.
I don’t care if you judge me and my 164 firefox windows (most of them having 2 to 8 tabs). Really.

@SeanOMik @stefano here is my take on BVCP: https://www.patpro.net/blog/index.php/2024/07/14/3775-bhyve-virtual-machine-control-panel-bvcp-english-version/
