the permacomputer project has more followers than i do

there was a lot of activity on the profile last night

i got some scathing criticisms of the permacomputer off-fedi the day that really affected me. i think i am far too sensitive for my own good.

the attention the permacomputer idea is getting makes me feel a little bittersweet about the hobby project--i feel good about the huge amount of support it is getting, but i wonder whether the whole project is misguided and impractical.

should it be focused on a speculative, and as yet imaginary societal collapse, or should the project instead change to instead promote ecological and sustainable computing?

i think the project needs to change focus.
