It’s a cheap Chinese made, it prints when I turn it on and that’s like every two months for the last 3 years. So I guess it’s good. I also only use it to print from linux or my phone.

I got a cheap Xerox laser printer, the toner is cheap and lasts forever.

Of course fungi are plants. They don’t move and grow in the forest.

They are also toxic. I’m suspicious of plants that want to kill me.

Sorry but this whole thing is just snake-oil.

You can verify and sign your whole trust chain down to the last shared library and it doesn’t matter when you don’t know what the binary blobs on your TPM / CPU / BIOS / NIC are doing.

The only guarantee to a secure system is openness an all of that signing won’t help you there.

I don’t trust Microsoft, why should I start trusting IBM/Canonical or Poettering now.

If the possibility is there they will happily lock you out of your own hardware.

What about US cars? I guess it’s one adversary a time.

Makes sense in a way, but still weird giving royal families any public office because they are royal.
