Celebrating/talking about repairing stuff, the right to repair stuff, and the intersection of tech and solarpunk ideals.
What does it mean to use what we have, including technology, to try to build a better, more environmentally just world?

I had a top end Specialized xc bike that's basically useless now because it has a proprietary rear shock, like all of their bikes of that line for the past 10 years. I couldn't even buy a replacement from them since they aren't compatible between different years and they stopped making the old versions.
