@etchedpixels @pluralistic wonder what that right is worth with device attestation making such users ineligible for most apps for "security" reasons

@rumpel @etchedpixels @pluralistic The one practical thing that can stop this attestation nightmare is legislation. The other would be an immediate and complete boycott, but we know that one isn't happening.

@etchedpixels @pluralistic missing the „right to repair“ and the duty of the maker to provide documentation.
Additionally the duty to make the products technical details public domain as soon as they quit servicing or closing business.

@Ulan_KA @pluralistic 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 @pluralistic 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.
