    It’s a bit ridiculous that the DMCA is being used to prevent people from repairing their equipment in the first place.

        Man there sure are a lot of late stage capitalist dystopia nightmare hellscape things happening these days.

        Sure is good that we don’t live in one of those, right fellas?

      The DMCA is an infringement of property rights (actual ones, not Imaginary Property “rights” that are actually just temporary privileges) and should not exist at all.

      Not really particularly ridiculous. It’s exactly the kind of evil it was designed for. Just a broader application than advertised.

            …what does the Superb Owl have to do with Trump’s McDonald’s addiction?

                You’re just saying that because both the superb owl and Trump tried to eat you 😛

      I’m surprised this didn’t happen under Trump with how much he likes fast food. Though I guess Biden does like his ice cream…

        The ice cream machine just happened to be working that one time Trump ordered 100 of everything on the menu. Had the machine been broken that day, perhaps today we’d have better ice cream right to repair laws.

    Great. Now fix healthcare.

      You guys absolutely need healthcare, and I don’t want to diminish that, but at the same time this is potentially a big deal as it impacts right-to-repair, sustainability, etc.

        Yup, I get it. It’s important with regards to farm equipment and many other things. Just drives me crazy how they can’t cover the fundamentals, but they get fired up about McD’s ice cream.

      With better Right to Repair laws, healthcare costs will go down as they won’t need to call the OEM every time a capacitor pops

        Yes, I’m all for Right to Repair.

        Unfortunately it’s only one part of our very broken healthcare system.

    What’s the reverse of eating the onion? I definitely thought this was fake until seeing the source.
