Erik L. Midtsveen 🏴🏳️‍🌈<p>Well electric cars, hell, cars in general these days come with proprietary software that totally screws over the buyer's ability to fix their own damn car. It's bullshit, plain and simple.</p><p>Right to repair isn't just some fancy slogan, it's a fucking right. Period. I'm all in on open source software and the freedom to dig into the code, learn from it, and yeah, fix it if I need to. That's how it should be, not this locked-down crap they're pushing on us.</p><p>Sadly, this is the world most people are forced into with big tech companies owning and operating most of the software we and many companies use today.</p><p>I would recommend anyone reading this to give <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> a try if you haven't already used it. It's open-source, customizable, and gives you the freedom to really make your system your own.</p><p>❤ In short: I love the right to repair my own stuff!</p><p><a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RightToRepair</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Repair</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Fix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fix</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/iFixit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>iFixit</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/EletricCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EletricCars</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cars</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Swasticars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Swasticars</span></a> <a href="https://social.linux.pizza/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a></p>
Pepijn<p>Fixed. But it's time for a new tire.</p><p>Question: I would love a good quality compact portable bicycle pump I can bring along. Preferably something that goes up to six-ish bar.</p><p>Weight and size isn't the greatest issue (see photo of my bike before.. this ain't no carbon racer) but within reason something I can throw in the green box would be nice.</p><p>What are you suggestions <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/fedibikes" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>fedibikes</span></a></span>? </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/biketooter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biketooter</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/bicycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bicycle</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>repair</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/tools" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tools</span></a></p>
