      "Many people have asked for a simple, concise, non-profanity laden video that summarizes the issue that is shareable to politicians and family members. Here you go. No profanity, no technobabble, just a basic explanation. Go forth and share. Thank you!" -- Louis Rossmann What is Right to repair? An intro: this video

    2. @operator-nameApr 2021· in “It's your device, you should be able to repair it”

      I'd highly reccomended his video "What is right to repair? An introduction for curious people." as it clears up many misconceptions about right to repair: this video

    3. @skdd8May 2020· in “Hacker Mods Old Calculator to Access the Internet, Casio Files DMCA Complaint”

      What in the actual fuck! I laughed so hard at this video just to watch in disgust how the DCMA and it's lackey GH would take down a repo that has nothing to do with Casio other than the name perhaps. Where is the freedom to tinker? If I modify my Toyota Corolla to take a Ferrari engine would Ferrari or Toyota come to my house and take my car away?

      Yes! Spread the word too. Also, if you know a professional that might be able to help him out with the legal/politics/etc., consider reaching out. He's a sharp guy but it's still a tough task and he is going to need all the help he can get. And so does our planet. Donation link: [LINK] Pitch for non-techies: this video

    5. @ClumsyPilotJan 2021· in “IKEA buys 11,000 acres of U.S. forest to keep it from being developed”

      Buying new stuff in the west is now cheaper than repairing old items - this is a combination of outsourcing production, loosing skills, and deliberate efforts by compabies like Apple and Sonor to make their equipment unrepairable. this video
