@Ulan_KA@social.tchncs.de @pluralistic@mamot.fr right to repair is a whole unrelated policy issue, and applies to a very different range of objects many of which, despite the best efforts of the vendor, don't have apps or even software

@etchedpixels@mastodon.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr true, but the problem is the same whether it is a dumb unserviceable Toaster, an unserviceable in its hard- and software Smartphone, or even some heath device allowing blind people to see or paralized people to move about - until the device dies due to missing software, servers, dying batteries or repair. And I'm not talking about the vendor, but of the makers: whoever brings technology of any kind (software, hardware, bioware…) into the market has to provide full ownership to buyers. Otherwise they must not declare it a sell and have to take responsibility when they can't fulfill their dutys on the contract anymore.
