You’d be more valuable to the grift as a black lesbian nurse. They are always looking for people with identities that the left claims to protect/empower, who are willing to run interference and act like there’s no need for political protection. That’s why Candace Owens, Milo Yiannopoulos, Dave Rubin, and Blaire White are big names in their circles. All people with “DEI” identities who are willing to decry the left and rationalize every last thing done by the GOP.

When written out like this, it seems simple as - but the most simple version really isn’t what’s at stake. Companies make and trademark specialized tools for their goods, to prevent third parties from providing repairs. Warrantys are written to keep a company from being liable for repair/replacement if a customer attempts to repair a product themselves.

Pretty much every case in the right to repair movement is a challenge to a legally acceptable means of market capture, that just happens to create a stupendously shitty consumer environment.

I imagine Lemmy skews WAY to the side of PCs/computers. But the average consumer is almost exclusively using their phone for everything except work and taxes. I’m a digital native and I even find browsing Lemmy to be easier via app than browser.
