Thank You, Brussels: Making the Dashboard the Next USB-C
In part one I argued that convenience is the bait, and that doing things the hard way is worth the friction. I also conceded Cory Doctorow’s point: individual choices won’t fix enshittification. Policy will. This post covers why GrapheneOS needs that policy to survive, who is actually writing it, where they should point it next, and what you can do to help.https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://gaggl.com/blogs/2026-10-26-thank-you-brussels/

RE: https://defcon.social/@yuman/117461794260545847
so I got a batch of busted laptops. various issues, price was right and even if the descriptions are off, very unlikely I'm gonna lose money. am presently a NINJA -- no income, no job so this should help, keeping busy, being productive, whatever. or so I'm told
so the plan is to #diy whatever #repair is needed and then try to offload them
will add to this thread when any one is done

Fairphone 5 charging problems? Try cleaning your USB-C port before replacing it!
I’m sharing this because I nearly replaced a perfectly functional USB-C module. It turned out that compacted dirt was preventing the cable from connecting properly!
I’d already ordered a replacement module, but I’ve decided to keep it as a spare in case I need it someday. Besides, it’s a small way to support Fairphone and its commitment to repairability!

Thinking about your next phone? Fairphone, born from a research programme at Waag in Amsterdam, has a removable battery, 12 spare parts you can swap with a small Torx screwdriver, and software support until 2033. The post also covers the limits: the price, no headphone jack, and where the phones are assembled. Murena and Mudita are there as European alternatives too. https://choosingeurope.eu/2026/10/23/fairphone/

#RightToRepair should be enough but it's not because it gets (re)interpreted as
"right to get it repaired by a licensed & authorise repair shop"
We need much better!
#RightToInteroperability so things work together, incl 3rd party software & replacement parts
#RightToInformation to get the schematics, repair manuals, protocols, etc
#RightToPreserve to keep our culture from disappearing once it's no longer profitable
#RightToSalvage w/o having to ask or pay for permission or authorisation

Pleased to see that #SewingMachines have the highest success rate (70%) in the 2026 Open Repair dataset from @restartproject!
Fixing & maintaining your #SewingMachine not only keeps the machine itself out of the landfill, it also enables so many other mending and creation opportunities!
Exercise your #RightToRepair. Reject #FastFashion. Create your own look while helping the planet.

@iFixit I don't need a toolkit, already have plenty.
But I've used your site to replace the optical drive in an old macbook, to replace the battery in a kindle, to replace the battery in an ipod mini, and to swap out drives in an imac... to name a few.
keep up the good work. #rightToRepair

Avui és el Dia Internacional de la Reparació.
Des de juny de 2025, a la UE els fabricants de mòbils han de publicar les instruccions de reparació i els preus dels recanvis.
iFixit i Right to Repair Europe han mirat el registre europeu: només un 18% dels mòbils diu on trobar-ho.
A iFixit pots trobar milers de guies gratuïtes per arreglar els teus aparells.
Se t'espatlla el mòbil: el llences o l'obres?

Happy International Repair Day! 🔧
We’re at Quay Arts today from 10am to 12pm, and we’d love to see you. Got a wobbly chair, a toaster that’s given up, or a jumper with a hole in it? Bring it along and our volunteers will show you how to have a go at fixing it together.
It’s free, though donations are always appreciated. Pop into Quay Arts Cafe afterwards for a cuppa and a slice of cake!

Heute ist der internationale Repair Day! Für uns als Fair IT yourself e.V. ist Reparieren mehr als ein Hobby, sondern eine politische Haltung.
Deshalb bauen wir faire Hardware: Unsere Maus ist komplett reparierbar. Jedes Bauteil lässt sich einzeln bestellen und auswechseln. Kein Kleber. Nur Schrauben und Löten mittels Open-Source-Anleitung.

🔧 Happy International Repair Day!
Technology should be built to last, not thrown away when something breaks.
At NovaCustom, we believe in the right to repair. That's why our laptops feature replaceable components, and we offer spare parts for at least 7 years.
💻 Repair, don't replace!
A big shoutout to Right to Repair Europe (they are not on Mastodon!?) for their efforts in making repair accessible to everyone!
