Right To Repair is a fundamental of freedom from oligarchy.
It is literally the question of who owns the things we buy. Or, are we forever just de-facto renting those things, while sending all the data to the corporate overlords?
It seems obscure, but is a key element of freedom and democracy.
- knollimar 6mo agobut you see, you own the hardware, but have no permission to modify the software I put on it >:)
- Bender 6mo agoIf I am renting a thing I expect free repairs forever and they should expect to hear from me any time my rental devices is not doing what I expect it to do. If that is not included in the rental fee then I need not use that device and they should expect it returned covered in animal feces.
- toss1 6mo agoExactly. If I am renting it, then anything goes wrong, they either fix it immediately on the spot, or promptly swap it out for an equivalent unit.
