Moreover, you should think of something about phones and tablets with healthy hardware but outdated software. So many companies especially in China stop the software updates/upgrades after like 2-3 years. And moreover, they also make it too hard for the #FOSS communities to come up with alternative operating system for these devices.

Some companies lock the device to prevent installing custom OS.

Some other violate #GPL and they don't release the #Linux source code for their devices.

Some release the GPL code with a 1 year delay. Which means FOSS community is 1 year behind to bring custom OS to the device.

All of these contribute to #ewaste and they harm the planet. And many people are forced to buy a new phone/tablet every 1-3 years to get a newer Android version.

@EUCommission props for acknowledging that billionaires are counter-productive to what the EU propagates.

[grob@mstdn.social]

@EUCommission and they are on the rightmost branch! Crikey, are you dogwhistling us??

[drew@gamerstavern.online]

@EUCommission parts should be sold at a price that makes repairing financially attractive. Bosch is bundling cheap parts with the most expensive part of their washing machines, making a repair nearly just as costly as replacing the whole machine. That's not viable for repair shops or anyone really.

@raccoon @EUCommission but we need chat control and AI for profiling every person in Europe, to build a database for all the interested partys in europe. I don't see what problem this could cause in a time of rising fashism? /s

@raccoon @EUCommission

privacy breaking technics work on your repaired devices too!

@EUCommission What does “Should I Toss My Broken Tech? > Do I hate money? > Yes > A bit!” even mean?

And what does hating money have to do with repairability?

I don’t recall the last time I saw such a nonsensical and poorly made decision tree.

[johbo@mastodon.social]

@EUCommission that's amazing. Hope that will also be applied to cars and that there are timelines and consequences in there for not meeting the requirements.

Waiting now more than four months for my #citroen to receive a replacement part with no estimated delivery date yet. So there is real room for improvement I think.

@EUCommission
Our democracies fail.
Our leaders give up on human rights.
Somehow, authority seem fancier than liberty.

Could EU work on that as well ?
Not just cell phone stuff (mobility, plugs...) and Erasmus programs, which are definitely good things, but also
- Media concentration #Bollore
- Computer monopolies #Gafam #IA
- Welcoming migrants #Frontex
- Individual protection and no #ChatControl
- Sustainable agriculture v. Agricultural lobbies
- Sobriety v. Business corruption

[enea90@mastodon.social]

@EUCommission That's a good step. However, devices can also get obsolete if they no longer receive updates, even if the hardware part works perfectly. This has a name: planned obsolescence. Something needs to be done about this too.

Did you use AI for this graphic? It sure looks like it.

Please stop using the fascist nonsense machine. You are burning down the planet for silly memes that don't make sense.

[budududuroiu@hachyderm.io]

@EUCommission pick a consistent position ffs, you want right to repair but are building the entire EU digital infrastructure against device attestation. What if Google refuses to attest devices with non-Google batteries? Smh

[jourei@mas.to]

@EUCommission Now pair this with Stop Killing Games and some type of Stop Obsoleting/Killing Software

[jonossaseuraava@post.ebin.club]

@raccoon @EUCommission
repair it

[hotelbreakfast@mastodon.social]

@EUCommission
Practically that would mean that parts that weren't available to repair my telephone last year should be available now?

I had a broken screen and the FaceID module was thrown out with the old one, in went the new - without that module.

Or does this only apply to products being introduced in the market, and from now on?

[grundeinkommenaberrichtig@mastodon.social]

Your land is stolen. Your people are murdered, abducted and tortured. Somehow, dying seems as likely as living.

️ End the EU-Israel Association Agreement
Ban trade with illegal settlements
Impose sanctions on violent settlers and extremist ministers
Halt Horizon and bilateral funding to Israel
️ Restore and increase funding to Palestinian institutions and UNRWA, so that workers and vital services can continue.
