I just did what I couldn't manage yesterday due to time constraints: Replacing the analog sticks of my PS3 controller I use for speedrunning Metroid Dread. 🎮

The old ones were worn out. The new ones are also used but offer much more grip.✋

Used this opportunity to also do a little fix. Adding a thin layer of paper to the foam pressing the button layer to the controllers circuit board prevents from automatic and unintended button presses. 🛡️

Well electric cars, hell, cars in general these days come with proprietary software that totally screws over the buyer's ability to fix their own damn car. It's bullshit, plain and simple.

Right to repair isn't just some fancy slogan, it's a fucking right. Period. I'm all in on open source software and the freedom to dig into the code, learn from it, and yeah, fix it if I need to. That's how it should be, not this locked-down crap they're pushing on us.

Sadly, this is the world most people are forced into with big tech companies owning and operating most of the software we and many companies use today.

I would recommend anyone reading this to give #Linux a try if you haven't already used it. It's open-source, customizable, and gives you the freedom to really make your system your own.

❤ In short: I love the right to repair my own stuff!
