"Just economics", sure, its cheap to exploit China. That's why I'm saying: just, stop! It has to become consumer-preferred to have something cool be built locally. This won't happe…

This is cute but I'd rather get the energy into the 8-bit Unity project: https://8bit-unity.com/ Not just because I've got all of these machines in my collection, but also because …

Just stop. China as a manufacturing solution for anyone but the people of the region must cease. It is utterly inefficient to produce stuff far, far from where it will be used. Spr…

I have been making music for decades. Not professionally of course, but only for myself. I think in the rush for fandom we forget that it is quite possible to be the best musician …

Oh, suddenly we're not happy with giving a totalitarian-authoritarian dictatorship weapons to execute genocide on tens of millions of innocent people and just really want their mon…
