The FSF campaign to @endDRM has been a pioneer in defending consumers rights, and a precursor and key contribution to the Right to Repair movement.

Printer DRM update.
So, it turns out that my printer is no longer eligible for frimware upgrades. The current firmware can no longer phone home (uses outdated TLS). Since it cannot phone home, it cannot use my subscription-based (DRM) cartridges.
My choices to stay in the same ecosystem are:
- Buy new DRM-free cartridges
- Buy a new printer with newer firmware
I chose to leave the entire ecosystem, cuz DRM.

They say "rights," we say "restrictions" #DRM are not for your digital /rights/, they are /restrictions/ imposed on you. Celebrate your own intellect by staying away from DRM. Learn more about DRM-free living at https://u.fsf.org/44y

DRM ruins efforts at historical preservation. If all of our media is locked up in digital streaming platforms -- which will go under eventually -- how will it be preserved for future generations? Live DRM-free instead: https://u.fsf.org/1aj #EndDRM #DRM
