Cool event in #saarland about #software #obsolescence that my partner is helping to run :) Speakers from #KDE, #StopKillingGames, etc. The event will be mostly in German, but folks who aren't so confident in German should come along; most folks attending/speaking are also fluent in English.
Plakat mit Text: "Dieses Jahr werden hunderte Millionen Computer dem geplanten Verschließ zum Opfer fallen." Poster, translated to English: "This year, hundreds of millions of computers become victim to planned obsolescence." Plakat mit Text: "Software-Obsoleszenz ist das Thema des diesjährigen Internationalen Reparaturtags, der im Saarland zum neunten Mal stattfindet. Gemeinsam mit Expert:innen aus der Industrie möchten wir die ökologischen und sozialen Konsequenzen von absichtlich veralteten Produkten diskutieren, und überlegen was wir dagegen tun können." Translated to English: "Software Obsolescence is the topic of this year's International Repair Day, celebrated in Saarland for the 9th time. Together with industry experts, we'll discuss the ecological and social impacts of products with intentionally shortened lifespans and what we can do about it." At the bottom, the address is provided: H'eck Rathausstraße 18 66125 Saarbrücken And the date: 11 November, 2025 1700-1900
