-   Nice to see a mention of the [[Austrian Repair Bonus voucher scheme in National Geographic Kids]].
    -   Plus we ([[The Restart Project]]) get a shoutout :)

-   Read: [[A political ecology of the repair manual]]
    -   A lovely-looking political and philosophical ode to the [[repair manual]] by Shannon Mattern.
    -   Ive only skim read it for now. But check out some of the historical and hand-drawn manuals.
    -   Like with [[The Maintainers]], there’s also the expansion of the concept of repair and maintenance to the wider social context.

-   [[iFixit and Lenovo]].

-   [[Listened]]: [[Hotel Bar Sessions: Breaking Things at Work (with Gavin Mueller)]]
    -   What could technology created under a different value system look like?
    -   He gives [[right to repair]] as another example of neo-Luddism.
    -   Right on. With that and free software, I seem to fit the description.
