Right to repair isn’t about everyone knowing how to do it, but providing the accessibility and potential for repairs, compared to purposely obfuscated tech which is at the mercy of corporate overlords. Yes, a lot of people won’t know how to repair it, but if they want to repair it without paying a professional, they still have the ability to research and learn how to do it themselves.

So random that the USA is lagging behind in this regard, travelled Europe - everyone using phone pay, and in Australia my home country, it’s pretty much the only way people pay nowadays.

Agreed, it was good back in 2017. For me the effect wore off after a few months when the gimmick boiled down to “Wow the brand is being so savage 😂😂”

What about self hosting? I can run a local GenAI on my gaming PC with relative ease. This isn’t consuming mass amounts of power.

I’ve been using snus for 2 years now, it does help but if I run out, I go straight back to other nicotine consumption methods. Currently trying to tone down my dosages. I’ve weened down from 12mg pouches to 6mg while maintaining the same amount of daily intake (~4 pouches/day). Beats smoking cigarettes that’s for sure.

It can sometimes work. It’s something I taught myself naturally when I was pretty young that if I verbally monologed what I was doing it would help me get it done. Unfortunately due to the daily variance of my work it can be pretty easy to get stumped on a few tickets which can snowball into a full day of doing fuck-all.

It really does lol. In my helpdesk queue I have some tickets from over a month ago, sometimes I need to reach god-like focus to finally break down the steps / mentally process their request and respond to them haha.

No, and I never stated that. I just think it’s stupid to group all of crypto as an environmentally unsustainable technology. Following your logic, switching to electric cars isn’t worth it because the 100 years of petroleum pollution won’t disappear.

You’re so right, environmental impact has not been assessed by any cryptocurrency ever made. Literally zilch. None. Nada.

In trying times you’re missing the big picture. If they were more commonplace, you’d have a decentralised communication network that can’t be shut down by the government.
