  I think it’s insane the rules for anything computer-related or computer-adjacent

  “Oh if you make anything using our software, legally it’s ours.”

  Could you imagine if the same logic applied if you removed the “Magic Technology is Magic” aspect?

  “Oh you built this house with one of our hammers, so it’s ours actually.”

  This is one of the handful of things me (a leftist) and my rural Trump supporting family both heavily agree upon. It’s nice to find some common ground in such a divided America.

    I think we got lucky on it that John Deere and Car companies have been trying to ruin repairability long before it was cool.

    And “right to repair” is a nice simple slogan, even the most rural person in America can hear that and will probably go “Fuck yeah I should have the right to repair my car!”

  Local & state level is where a lot of the progress will live on in the near future. Call your local legislators & vote in every local election - they are way more frequent across the country than you may realize
