DoomsdaysCW<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RightToRepair</a> movement having its most productive year ever in U.S. statesAlready in 2025, five states have passed six different Right to Repair billsby Nathan Proctor, June 3, 2025"More and more state legislators are coming around to Right to Repair advocates’ simple premise: People should be allowed to fix their stuff. "The campaign for the Right to Repair has been steadily building support — and this year, we’ve accelerated that pace even further. Here are some of the big highlights so far this year. Five states have passed a total of six bills "On May 19, Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson signed two Right to Repair bills, one covering most consumer electronics and appliances, and another covering powered wheelchairs. "Then, in the last week, the Oregon and Nevada state legislatures passed their own wheelchair Right to Repair bills, while Texas and Connecticut lawmakers passed measures about fixing consumer electronics. All four bills have been sent to their respective state governors. "This surge of progress makes 2025 the most productive one ever for our work on Right to Repair — and the year is not even halfway over. A record 35 states have had active Right to Repair legislation "So far this year, 35 states, up from 30 last year, have considered Right to Repair legislation. Many of those bills are still active, including a wheelchair bill in New York which has advanced; a new bipartisan bill introduced in Pennsylvania that covers consumer and business electronics; and many others. "Earlier this year, we hit a milestone when Wisconsin introduced its first Right to Repair bill: Over the last eight years, legislators have put forward Right to Repair legislation in every U.S. state. "Whether you live in Texas or Maine, you have stuff to fix, and we have a campaign to help you get the tools, technology or information you need for those repairs. "The Right to Repair movement’s progress from coast to coast has been an important reminder that while some things divide Americans, we also agree on a lot. Repair means we get to keep our trusty devices going for longer, saving us money and cutting waste. It empowers all of us, including local repair businesses. "It’s common sense, and increasingly, it’s common ground." <a href="https://pirg.org/articles/right-to-repair-movement-having-its-most-productive-year-ever-in-u-s-states/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://pirg.org/articles/right-to-repair-movement-having-its-most-productive-year-ever-in-u-s-states/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FixIt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FixIt</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RepairCafes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairReuseRecycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RepairReuseRecycle</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairReuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RepairReuse</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReUse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ReUse</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReduceRepairReuseRecycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ReduceRepairReuseRecycle</a>

Goose is eyeballing youRecently put aside a pair of minimalist running shoes, ultimately to either clean/thrift or throw out. Kind of funny: they’re the only shoe my knee will tolerate as it heals. Cushioned shoes or even flat slides aggravate it. So I go barefoot in the house, and wear the minimalists when needing to be outside.

Promoting repair and reuse in Minnesota.“That’s what I find so exciting,” said Emily Barker, executive director of Reuse Minnesota. “There really is a place for everyone in the reuse conversation. Do they like mending? Do they like tinkering? Do they like thrifting? Do they like donating things and help other people find things?”The thrifty generations that came before might have known how to sew a button, pickle a cucumber and change their own oil. Those skills didn’t necessarily make it down to us. Mend-it clinics are there to offer a hand — or a lesson. <a href="https://www.startribune.com/brooks-make-do-and-mend-its-good-for-your-clothes-good-for-the-planet-and-great-for-your-wallet/601362443?utm_source=gift" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.startribune.com/brooks-make-do-and-mend-its-good-for-your-clothes-good-for-the-planet-and-great-for-your-wallet/601362443?utm_source=gift</a><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Minnesota" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Minnesota</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/repair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#repair</a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/reuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reuse</a>

Items can also be donated at the information bureau on Burnham seafront."They now have almost 20 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/volunteers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#volunteers</a>, fixing items including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SoftToys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SoftToys</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/upholstery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#upholstery</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/electricals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#electricals</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/clocks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#clocks</a>, which in turn, reduces items sent to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/landfill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#landfill</a> sites."Ms Hammond said they are looking for an offer of a storage facility space so they can support the community even more"Ms Hammond said it was after hearing a woman at a charity shop saying she could not afford to fix her iron, that she came up with the idea of opening a repair café." 'I thought it's such a simple thing to do to help people out and it's pointless buying a new whatever every five minutes, because items work for such a short while nowadays.'"Repair Cafe volunteers also visit homes with a thermal imaging camera, to help people increase insulation with 'simple fixes in their homes like thicker curtains,' Ms Hammond added."She said after lockdown the repair cafe has built the community in quite a strong way, offering a service and a social space."Hugh Champion, one of the repair team, said: 'We have a good time, hopefully delight a few customers, and send them home with things they had written off that are back to working condition again." 'And people are so delighted when you help them fix something especially when it has high sentimental value,' he added."Source: <a href="https://bbc.com/news/articles/cly8n90v504o" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://bbc.com/news/articles/cly8n90v504o</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairCafesUK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RepairCafesUK</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairReuseRecycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RepairReuseRecycle</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepairReuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RepairReuse</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RightToRepair</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fixit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fixit</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReUse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ReUse</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UK</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ReduceRepairReuseRecycle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ReduceRepairReuseRecycle</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Waste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Waste</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/eWaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#eWaste</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Volunteer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Volunteer</a>

BørgeSeeing how reviving old PCs is a hugely important thing to use Linux for, it's really strange to me how difficult it is to find out which distros works best on old hardware!People say many things, but it's hard to find real benchmarks. Tried Lubuntu and Zorin Core on one laptop I have here, and it was not OK. AntiX seems fast enough, but unfortunately too nerdy to give to a non-nerd.<a href="https://tutoteket.no/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#linux</a> <a href="https://tutoteket.no/tags/AntiConsumption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AntiConsumption</a> <a href="https://tutoteket.no/tags/reuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reuse</a>

Some cited concerns about misuse of their data for political gain. * In general, younger researchers were slightly more concerned than their older counterparts about potential downstream misuses of their work. * With respect to commercial reuses of published work, about 36% indicated that there are cases that excite them, while roughly 63% indicated that there are cases that worry them.
