@phiofx I spend my Thursdays at a friendly local hackerspace, which - in a sense - represents to me another, saner approach to "tech enthusiasm". An explicit rejection of the cruise ship, because you can't repair a cruise ship yourself, you also can't make it *your* cruise ship, and no cruise ships are community projects. We make DIY pen plotters, refurbish C64's, code weird crap and build keyboards and modular synths.
But that's very much *the opposite* of where the industry went.
