You can just wake up and do a 16 hour influencer morning routine before bed.
At this point, I would be amazed but not surprised.
You can just keep your filament dry, then your 3D prints won’t be trash.
You can just make things.
For sure. Totally correct.
Designing a new pay structure certainly wouldn’t be easy—and it might have to be done on a business-to-business basis—however, it would likely be a worthwhile effort.
You can just fix things.
While they're at it, they can bring back piecemeal (pay per item) as an alternative to subscriptions
Agree. The “everything as a subscription” model is also a stupid clusterfuck.
In somewhat related news, I’ve been telling employers that dollars-per-hour is a shit way to pay employees, because almost no employment is paying for time. They’re paying for stuff to be done. So why not pay per unit of stuff done?
Bring back just paying for stuff directly.
The “free” content model where you don’t have to pay for content upfront—but end up paying for it over time via surveillance and spam on every channel—has become a nightmare.
Just pay for stuff and get stuff.
When the fuck did Nostr get associated with criminal activity?
Or are normies just so fucking lost that any concept whatever of not being entirely dependent for all of their opinions and livelihoods on some corporation or govt is now seen as a crime in and of itself?

The “it’s for criminals” narrative is retarded.
To be fair, though, it IS true that criminals tend to be among the earliest adopters of anything new. It’s a huge advantage to use things for which there are no established enforcement frameworks.
I design simple things that solve simple problems, because I’m Simple Jack.
First they came for the idiots and shitposters.
That’s when they got me. So I don’t know how this story ends.
“Only bad skiers think there is such thing as bad snow.” —Ancient Proverb
One of the dramas with relying on large scale, centralized manufacturing is that economies of scale generally produce a worse consumer experience.
Economies of scale are a big reason why everyone doesn’t drive a custom designed car. Economies of scale are why you have to buy 100 pipe hangers when you only need 10.
Decentralized manufacturing could offer less trade off between efficiency and consumer experience.
You could order just 10 pipe hangers. Yes, they might be five times more expensive than buying 100 of them, but you’d be buying one tenth of the volume. So the overall cost would be lower.
3D printing, CNC machines, and even backyard forges could be the manufacturing industry of the future.

No sane person would be my friend in meat space, either. So it’s about the same for me.
Uranium is a gajillion times more energy dense than beef. Checkmate, carnivore dieters.
