Maybe you’ve heard: every font is free! Since fonts aren’t subject to copyright, you can legally ‘pirate’ them if you use a specific loophole!

...except that’s not really true. I’ve seen this claim repeated quite a lot recently, and it’s missing some pretty important nuance.

A thread 🧵

I didn’t see every talk so I asked others and I heard the same thing. I’m not saying it’s not possible but I haven’t seen it yet

#RightToRepair could not have come sooner.

"The economic turmoil and uncertainty makes the prospect of buying a new device, especially an already pricey smartphone, laptop, or gaming console, seem like it’s going to become a lot more expensive.
