And we need better #PropertyRights: #RightToRepair #RightToSalvage w/o asking permission, approval, or authorisation #RightToInteroperability #RightToTinker #RightToEncryption #RightToDIY w/o middlemen
#PSA Please when designing new tech consider that not everyone has a reliable 24/7 broadband internet connection, or a large screen, or a keyboard, or a mouse, or is able to get a domain name, or is able to run services from home, is able to power their home-server for the whole day, or can rent a VPS, or can have their ip-addresses be linked to an identity, or has one legal identity, or has one name, or has a recent computer, or has easy access to a debit or credit card, or has a bank account with either, or has a PayPal account, or has bitcoin, or one of many other things some and often many people just don't have, etc…
