#RightToRepair should be enough but it's not because it gets (re)interpreted as

"a right to get it repaired by a licensed & authorise repair shop"

We need better!

We need a #RightToSalvage w/o having to ask permission or pay for authorisation

We need a #RightToInteroperability so things work together

We need a #RightToPreserve to keep our culture from disappearing

We need a #RightToEncryption to have a private life

We need a #RightToInformation to get the schematics, repair manuals, etc

If I was the EU:

I'd get as far away from USA tech, economy, & thinking, become as incompatible as possible

I'd expand consumer laws: #RightToRepair, #RightToSalvage, #RightToInteroperability, #RightToPreserve, #RightToEncryption, #RightToHack, etc…

Rewrite tax laws so that you can only get a tax write-off on anything digital if you release it as open source

I'd massively invest in alternatives for the internet, which don't use the internet protocol stack, like meshcore, reticulum, etc…

#DigitalIndependence starts with moving away from proprietary software and switching to #OpenSource

Next, perhaps learn to write small programs which can be combined and work together?

And we need better #PropertyRights: #RightToRepair #RightToSalvage w/o asking permission, approval, or authorisation #RightToInteroperability #RightToTinker #RightToEncryption #RightToDIY w/o middlemen

I want to be able to self-host my own email-server again!

I want to be able to self-host my own digital ecosystem

I don't want to be depend on the permission or cooperation of any corporate 3rd party for this

What a mess… :sighs:

In the long run Open Source is all which remains ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

All closed source, usually commercial, software comes with a hidden sell-by-date. For whatever reason — a merger, a hostile takeover, a new management paradigm, incompatible OS update, a bad financial year — someone you will never know can pull a rug and —puff— it's gone.

#Question

When will the EU mandate that all battery operated tools (drill, jigsaw, etc) MUST (a) use the same industry standard 24v and/or 48v batteries and (b) have a secure and safe way to be powered by any (clean) DC 24v and/or 48v source available?

Perhaps via USB-C PD… ?

In many ways #RightToRepair doesn't go far enough, you want #RightToSalvage and have some #AntiRepair and #AntiSalvage measures made illegal

#introduction

A weird woman from a slowly dying post-industrial town that Phillips built and then abandoned, caring for her elderly parents, living mostly online since there is no much else here but broken promises and wasted potential

When something gets easy, I find a new challenge

When something is difficult, I find a better way to do it

When lost I set up base camp and explore & map the territory

I read, write, draw, cook, garden, tinker, repair, salvage, provide care and make things...

Someone who goes unnoticed, a walking encyclopaedia, a caster of spells, a shapeshifter, a wannabe immortal, a resilient survivor, a caregiver, someone physically disabled, autistic, tall, someone who longs for a feline friend, lives online since before the Eternal September, a keeper of dreams, a hungry fool, who hates endings, loves closures, who loves scary things, someone who smiles

Someone who hopes to someday keep bees 🐝
