    My issue with this is this is an opportunity for someone with money to start up alternatives that are built on the principles of “it lasts”!

    It’s not that hard, make the OS open source, we already have alpine linux, busybox, debian, etc, then build the basic functions in and those who can extend things, will!

    On the hardware side, use screws rather than clips, offer downloadable pdf’s with schematics, all this used to get done and dropped because profits! If I had the money I have a decent idea on how I’d start this up so who knows, there’s a few small things I’d like to learn to design/build and think maybe it’ll be sellable so who knows, maybe in 6/12 months and i’ve paid off a few debts i’ll build something useful.

    A decade ago, I assumed things would probably get worse, but goddamn I didn’t think it would happen this fast.

    So much is getting better, social media and negativity bias in general is just making it seem like it’s not.

    Just for example, percentage of green energy is steadily rising. Even if it is not fast enough, that is still a constant improvement.

      So true.

      Switching to Linux and Android makes me feel excited for new technology again. I did not felt that in a long time. All the software is just how it should be. No kings, no masters to appease–just the will to make something helpful. Also the homebrew community is real fun, hacked my DSi and Wii and I love how they reverse engineered a lot of servers that were shut down. Its small but fun–just the fact that we are all on a server that should not exists from all over the world brings me joy.

      Offline hobbies are getting more love again. Carpentry, sewing and knitting, bird watching. Modding old consoles is one of my all-time faves.

          I know cats, breed into a form to be nearly unable to breathe, that won’t catch any birds either.

          Unfortunately single cat stories aren’t an argument against statistics.
