These facilities are expensive, like 20-30B for the big ones. If you’re curious youtube has some good long videos on how these places work. As far as I’ve checked all the gov grants given to companies as incentives (whether chips or energy or other infrastructure projects) only partially cover the costs of construction.

I had a moonlander for a while and I liked it. I think I put space on the main body since the little appendages were too far for my itty thumbs.

I had one of the ZSA moonlander split keyboards for a while and I loved parts of it. My RSI vanished.

1 - it was hard for me to use other keyboards that weren’t colemak

2 - in split, if I took my hand off to use the mouse I found it hard to find the home row again. It took me like 2 months to learn colemak but never clued into the home row the same way I can on a normal keyboard.

3 - I felt like it took up a lot of space, not good for small spaces.

Ya I think the ship has sailed, maybe one day. Right now it would be a loony toons move.

Yes now it does, it’s beyond soured. But it’s a strange disconnect. Ignoring all the social commentary and looking for the most practical solution for making small pay-per-use payments - it was right there.

I don’t understand why cryptocurrency isn’t an accepted solution to this. Open firefox, attach wallet, drip $0.25/month/user. It’s good for tiny transactions.

As long as people need money other people will try to find opportunities to make it, not everyone has the same moral boundaries.

People have talked about this for a long time it doesn’t seem like there is an idea driven way out. This is the road.

I had one forum I went to and people trolled but they were community members and if it ever got out of hand they were banned. Nowadays people seem much more vicious, the more personal and the more it stings better.

Wiby is great. I think of it as more of a museum, an incomplete collection of antiques. The fediverse is thriving, it has a pulse.

I think our experiences of life are like windows from which the void reaches out and touches reality.

Did you read the other person’s suggestion about mice or are there two people here to independently came up with this grim idea?

I went to a low data plan and learned that Google Maps consumes a vast amount of data (relative to my plan limit), and I download all my maps and had location off. 1 single bus route between two pinned locations was 30Mb. Maps and search could be so simple but they are insanely bloated.

Thanks - deleted. Fucking internet.

This is fun, and I’m going to enjoy it without trying to correct it because that ruins the joke and I need to feel joy.

Subsidies

Not really but I’d join if you do.
