Specialized equipment and input kinda makes it a no go for me, but that’s super cool! Do you do direct burial or use it to heat up a heap? Right now I’ve pretty much got a mound of food scraps, sticks, and cardboard that eventually turns into something I can mix into a planter


I would love to hear more about this, my compost heap definitely Needs Improvement


This is the most unhinged and egocentric take I’ve seen on here in quite a while, congrats.
“If you meet an asshole on the way to work in the morning, you met an asshole. If everyone you meet all day is an asshole…”


Gotta start somewhere. Eventually I’ll ascend to a ceremonial rattle of DRAM chips and a teardrop tattoo of a hard drive for each one that has fallen to my hand


You’re also reducing demand for factory farming, sourcing healthier meat than money can buy, and participating more directly in the cycles of life we’re so cut off from these days. Not a super accessible option for most city folks, but a real good one


Bomb a datacenter
The dopest part is when it’s so nice out you don’t have to wear clothes, everyone wants to come visit, and both freedom and fine dining surround you in unlimited quantities. The least dope is when you’re drying firewood next to a fire, out of everything but rice and jerky, and hauling water all alone cause you can’t get $20 together to fix your pump. Definitely not safe, but definitely real and apparently that’s what matters to me. Probably going to go be more traditionally homeless somewhere warmer this winter and get some $ together


I once happened to have a pretty bad nosebleed when they knocked, they were taken aback when I opened the door and wordlessly fled with terror in their eyes when I said “this is no place for a man of god”. Now I feel bad :(
Feel like donating to the cause? (The cause is that I would like a computer)
I barely have enough money to make a trip into town, much less buy anything. I squat in the woods eating fish and potatoes and tinkering with the scavenged infrastructure that supports me. It’s actually pretty dope lol


You’re more than welcome to come pitch in. I feel like it has a lot to do with how someone’s currently handling their burdens. If you’re thriving now, fundamental change is a threat. If you’re struggling, there’s room to see it as salvation. I think it sounds lovely to be warm and have enough to eat, and am quite confident I could find another goal should those suddenly be achieved. Maybe it’s just the grass being greener as usual :p


I didn’t mean it as a callout or gotcha, just seemed relevant to the potential appeal of having them met by a machine. I certainly wouldn’t feel lost or directionless in that scenario, there’s so much I want to do but can’t now. Liberation from the chop wood/carry water processes that occupy more time than I’ve got would unlock so much potential


Interesting, thanks for sharing. Would you say most of your material needs are met now? I’m somewhat behind on mine, and freedom from the constant struggle of not quite meeting them sounds (and is) too good to be true. I’m not against offloading that burden to a machine in principle or out of an attachment to want itself, I’m against it because that machine has been well-proven not to be acting in our best interests or capable of shouldering that burden even if its operators would ever allow it


Ok first off “post scarcity” is never going to happen, we are the resource their system extracts from and it will never give anything back. But if it did somehow, if we built a loving god? That’d be dope as hell. If you genuinely don’t have interests beyond your needs to pursue right now I hope you find some. There’s nothing hedonistic or degenerate (nazi buzzword btw) about passion and engagement. What gives your life meaning beyond meeting those needs as-is?


This is the way


Agriculture was a mistake. But not right now, I have lot of hunting and gathering to do


It’s pretty much just a GUI for apt+flathub, way cooler that you wrote your own script though :)
I just drive-by shitpost in “all” like the good lord intended
