World on fire and there are people worried about repairing ice cream machines of an evil corporation and consider it a "victory". Depressing

The right to repair in general is pretty significant.

Theres quite a lot of humans on this planet. collectively we are capable of performing more than a single task y'know.

I'm not a climate scientist, but i am a programmer. i'd be much more useful on this sort of thing than trying to program my way out of climate change
