Enshitification strikes again. We need more open source hardware not just right to repair.
Louis has also talked a lot about right to own, and I think this kinda falls under that umbrella, even if not as much a right to repair issue
The DMCA really fucked us long term. Cory Doctorow has thankfully been highlighting the damage it’s done. It’d be awesome if Canada had the gumption to drop their version now that our asshole president is tariffing the shit out of them.
