If #openSource / #FOSS is not political, is #rightToRepair allowed to be political? Is #StopKillingGames bad for being explicitly political? Is #openHardware with all the actual physical supply chains with workers and factories and natural resources needed for its production (things that wars are fought over) allowed to be just a bit political, as a treat, so that it can actually reach its stated goals?

I'm just learning about the #StopKillingGames situation. I'm sympathetic to people who want software to last longer and be better controlled by its users. But this isn't the sort of thing you can easily improve by fiat. I think a lot of people don't realize how enmeshed their online gaming services are with the online gaming company's other IT infrastructure. It's a major ask to get them to open source it and/or make it run on an arbitrary customer's computer.

Signed #StopKillingGames (yayy) but it was a pain. We are in the digital age, but digital age is so broken.... I went on signing with eID and even despite having 2 different options, I was constantly getting error below. I ended up creating account an pairing with my eID, but this is annoying. If I have to have account don't say "confirm with eID" say create account, ... etc...
