Hey Stampede... How about a poem?

That's indeed an interesting project and I was able to talk with the people behind it (and test this) at TU Dresden when they worked on that.
It's basically "just" an obfuscation of existing tracking but not a guarantee that additional tracking (potentially unknown) isn't able to identify you. The ultimate goal should really be to create free printer firmware without such restrictions. (Although you could still identify using hardware variations)

@Ricardus @AeonCypher @yuki2501 @lispi314 this claims to be able to create a per-printer anonymisation mask:

Printer data sets, if you want to investigate printer forensics:
https://dfd.inf.tu-dresden.de/dataset/
LB: Xerox commercial digital presses were already doing this over 15 years ago, when I was still working at a print shop. If you have any vital interest in forensics, you should know by now that most, if not all, modern printers produce documents that are optically traceable at least to the point of sale.

"IT APPEARS LIKELY THAT ALL RECENT COMMERCIAL COLOR LASER PRINTERS PRINT SOME KIND OF FORENSIC TRACKING CODES, NOT NECESSARILY USING YELLOW DOTS. THIS IS TRUE WHETHER OR NOT THOSE CODES ARE VISIBLE TO THE EYE AND WHETHER OR NOT THE PRINTER MODELS ARE LISTED HERE. THIS ALSO INCLUDES THE PRINTERS THAT ARE LISTED HERE AS NOT PRODUCING YELLOW DOTS"

I feel like, if you're a site admin, and your site is brought down by toothbrushes, you gotta switch careers. Time to buy that farm you've been fantasizing about.

Been through so much in the last year that I see the first gray hair in my beard at age 35 lol
I don't put it on unless I'm prepared, because if I hear even just that opening chord, that's what's happening for the next hour. I recommend it highly but warn anyone that it's a wild trip through some very, very desperately dark places in memory of a clearly beloved friend, and they lost another, their sound designer, just before release. need to put my mind somewhere else now.
Just got surprised with a rendition of the most devastating moments of De-Loused in the Comatorium. RIP Julio and Jeremy. Gonna have to cool down in order to sleep now. whew. I do a pretty good job of forgetting that I have PTSD.
If you're unfamiliar with pulmonary hypertension, read up on it sometime: it's a trip through many fascinating and very important processes in the body -- many of which are only recently discovered, and still pushing the frontiers of medical science -- that everyone should know about!
Excellent news from my pulmonologist: on today's stress test they observed good vascular gas exchange. Repeat echocardiogram next month will verify whether right side cardiac hypertrophy has resolved; if so, we'll repeat right-heart catheterization testing and try discontinuing medication. I am deeply grateful for everyone's support and very hopeful this incredible good fortune will continue and allow me to actually beat this thing ❤️❤️❤️

Police slam their SUV into an #LGBTQ bar in St Louis, Missouri, Dec 18.
They then arrest the co-owner for felony assault but haven’t released body cam footage. Bystander video shows no assault.
Now they are threatening to condemn the building because it’s damaged.

@NanoRaptor Behold ... the Vantabunny.
Beyond the wanton slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians -- many of them children -- the systematic elimination of hospitals, universities, and cemeteries will provide history with no doubt of the genocidal fascist constitution of the state of "Israel" and their intention to erase Palestine.
it's too bad expressing pain and struggle is illegal for me specifically and not anybody else, that's kind of odd isn't it

Y'know that feeling when you see a friend's playing one of those new games you've been meaning to pick up ... then you realize an ellipsis is hiding, "REMASTERED"
