We had that world of #HardwareFreedom for a time @anne_twain, and it has been actively taken from us over decades. The #ExtractionIndustry powers that undermined it are still here and are not going away without a fight.

I will be getting my next notebook computer from https://frame.work/ because they have #RightToRepair at the core of their business, and a track record of good and improving products.
