Thought of this the other day. I bet a lot of us are like this, because in today’s world a lot of things we used to tinker with are gone (electronics are made to be single use and unfixable, cars are proprietary and can rarely be modified or worked on without many many thousands of dollars now, etc).
Sure, there are still hardcore electronics projects going on and people doing massive restoration projects and such, but i consider them basically geniuses, not just tinkerers who enjoy messing around and learning in their spare time while working 50 hours a week.
Im glad linux gives us a space to exist!
Agreed, but the old things are disappearing fast and going to scalpers, and will never be made again. Makes me sad to thik about.
Just like patent lawyers stifling innovation. The world is going to shit and people with no accumen in anything but money have ruined everything.
