in reply to Cory Doctorow • • •#NewYorkers! The state legislature has passed landmark #RightToRepair legislation, but Governor Hochul hasn't signed it and it might die. This would be a travesty. If you're in New York, visit eff.org/rtr to help tell the Governor that we can't afford to wait (and tell your friends in New York, too!).

in reply to Cory Doctorow • • •What a great piece, thank you @pluralistic.
I'm glad to see you still giving attribution for the “five websites, each consisting of screenshots of text from the other four” quote, to the Twitter post where it appeared. But sadly, Twitter (or at least, what it presents to me?) no longer knows that post exists.
Does the Twitter Archive know of that post, and can we get an updated URL for it?
