I really related to this blog post just as I also related to Kev Quirk's recent article about forums: https://kevquirk.com/bring-back-the-humble-forum

I feel like this split isn't just in cyberspace but also in real life where some people err towards buying stuff and throwing old stuff out whilst others make do and mend and run repair cafes and makerspaces and install parties.

The most problematic thing about this blog post for me is the idea that people have to "choose a side". Most of the general public have no idea that these counter cultures exist nevermind that they should choose a side or how to go about doing that.

So here's a call to action to makers and tinkerers and hackers everywhere to help your relatives install adblockers or send them to a repair cafe when their kettle breaks and show them that there's more to life than buy buy buy! |
