    Why does this dude’s face show up in my feed so often is the real issue here.

      That’s Louis Rossman, basically the head of the right to repair movement (nobody’s really the head but for most intents and purposes it’s this guy)

      If you support the right to repair, or even if you don’t, it wouldn’t hurt to look into his stuff

        Fully support this guy and all his efforts but I’m really tired of seeing that face.

          Hi Shepard, shitty life pro tip … Just close your eyes when you play his videos, like a Krogran blindly running into battle.

        Okay but I see him in a lot of tech related posts lately, also not about right to repair.

          He also runs a tech repair shop in New York, I could see him being in a lot of tech stuff you’re seeing

                A year or two ago I think. He sold it off and opened a new shop in Texas after becoming sick and tired of dealing with red tape in NYC, paying fees and taxes etc.

                    supposedly we’re super business/small business friendly. not a business owner, but i expect there are significantly fewer fees and very significantly lower taxes for someone doing business here compared to new york. also a lot less regulation.

                    it’s the same reason a lot of big businesses come here.

      He has a youtube channel that talks about the latest developments in the tech industry. Seems a lot of people like his videos. Its not an “issue” unless you make it one
