Hoe serieus moet je GroenLinks/PvdA in #Eindhoven nog nemen, nu ze geen ruimte hebben geboden in de nieuwe milieustraat voor het Repair Café? In het collegeprogramma wordt het vieren van Carnaval als integraal beleid van de gemeente Eindhoven gezien. Carnaval 15 februari, verkiezingen 18 maart 2026.

Look, there is a nice story in the news: Hip-hop group Arrested Development 'saved' by repair cafe www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Has anyone ever attended a repair cafe? If so, I'd love to hear about your experience for a quick-turnaround article I'm working on today! Message me at [email protected]

Is this a record? 82 volunteers is a huge amount.

https://endof10.org/ is a campaign to get repair cafes and community support for people who are getting abandoned by the windows 10 => windows 11 forced upgrade. joseph p. de veaugh-geiss (@be4foss) from @kde discussing #endof10 at @LAS […] [Original post on fantastic.earth]

Weather permitting this sounds like a really fun idea! Visit a local fair, a market, a community center!

Windows 10 will be phased out in October 2025. Repair Cafe Amsterdam is starting an initiative to rescue 240 million (!) W10 computers from the landfill by switching them to Linux. www.reddit.com/r/linux/comm... www.repaircafe.org/linux-repair...

Question from @jennynettles.bsky.social : wondering if I could talk to someone about insurance for repair cafes not set up in maker spaces in the US. The first one is May 25 so trying to get stuff sorted before then. The hosting senior center needs us to hold a policy naming them for these events.

"It wasn't just things I wanted to repair." The "memories" of separated families, the "community" of a region that is becoming estranged, the "system" of a consumer society that is based on the premise of throwing things away... youtu.be/APUyza68JAo ideasforgood.jp/documentary-...

This #WITDay, we're celebrating Martine Postma, the activist and former journalist who started the Repair Café movement. “More and more people don’t feel good about our throw-away society," Postma says. "[They] don’t throw away because they want to, but because they don’t know what else to do.” 🔗👇

Nationaal Reparateursregister officieel van start. Doel: vaker apparaten herstellen in plaats van weggooien. www.rijksoverheid.nl/actueel/nieu...

@leeinroyston.bsky.social Chris Lee made a great blogpost on how to successfully run a repaircafe. Great read, thanks Chris! enterpriseessentials.wordpress.com/2025/03/11/l...

There was a long queue to the repair shop. There always seemed to be, these days. The areas for fabrics and fibre, wood, metal, mechanics and electronics were all busy, but none more so than the dreams section. "Oh, this has taken some beating, poor thing." "Can you fix it?" "We'll do our best."

We don't have a guide to repair a country. If you have one, please send it.

For those who want to find the Repair cafe people. If you know someone who needs to be on the list, please let me know! bsky.app/profile/did:...
