Good day!
Today we talk about #repairCafes: a "new" reality that is slowly but surely emerging from the ashes of the idea of being #consumers of #technology.
These places of #aggregation foster a #smarter and #ecological use of technology, by substituting the #culture of the #throwaway #tech with that of the #DIY repair #lab.
And we #transform from #techIdiots who buy>consume>buy(again) to #hardware #powerUsers who learn how to #fix their own devices by themselves!

So, I'm all about using less plastic (that breaks easily and pollutes). I own a wood and metal toilet paper holder (similar to this one) that's outlasted anything plastic. We should build things to last. That's the opposite of what #ThrowAway #Capitalism wants us to do! #BuiltToLast

He held out a massive chocolate bar. "Toblerone?" he offered.
"No thanks," she said. "I'm trying to cut back on dildo chocolate. Now let's get this over with."

Legacy contractors like #Boeing continued to receive large bonus payments 💰 for working on the #SLS, despite delays and mushrooming #costs.
Critics of the #SLS argue that the rocket is #unsustainable by #design, relying on an old and potentially quite #expensive way to get to #space. Much of SLS is a holdover from the #spaceshuttle. But while the shuttle #orbiter, #engines, and external #tanks were designed to be #reusable, SLS and its engines were not.
“They’ve designed a rocket that is basically #unsustainable, because it’s completely #throwaway. The only bit that comes back is #Orion”
“Depending on how you look at it, the #SLS is either a product of a #broken #system that curries #favor to #wealthy 💰 industries or an example of representative #democracy working as it should,” https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/01/09/1065143/nasa-artemis-return-to-moon

Worst mechanical design ever for a broom. Cheap plastic with no structural strength at the highest point of stress. Temporary fix to eye out more lifetime, but don't recommend these (no, I did not buy this in the first place) #crappy #broom #consumerism #ThrowAway

I would like that very much and it is absolutely necessary for me, especially when it comes to #electronics. Then, of course, the #products must also be designed to be repair-friendly or repairable at all.
