I've just watched the recording of the #37C3 talk "Breaking "DRM" in Polish trains" - hilarious presentation! Thanks a lot @redford @mrtick @q3k ! Great talk and great work! I wish you a lot of fun like that in the future and not so many annoying lawyer stuff :fairydust:

@hpk In theory it we know all kinds of steps into a better future, here are some:
- make #Planned_obsolescence illegal
- adopt some ethics when producing products like https://www.crowdsupply.com/about#user-rights
- stop wars
- do not burn coal
- implement #righttorepair
- prevent expansion of surveillance infrastructure, It would lead to something really bad.
- don't fall for fake solutions and greenwashing.
