who is your scamsona

i am inventing a new concept it's called a "scamsona" and it's what piece of shit conman you kind of identify with a little bit and take as a warning of a path to never go down, mine is sbf

do you want to know the cool thing about kilns, mastodon

so because of this they are user servicable. the parts that break can be taken out and replaced by the artists who use them. there are good youtube tutorials.

so kilns are really heavy and kind of humongous. they have a lot of insulation. so it's hard to take them to a place to get them repaired

tbh i think the way people on mastodon give technical advice is a little bit like how seasoned stoners will sometimes tell you to take insane doses of edibles because that's what works for them except instead of thc it's technical expertise

@Aleums me

so much of the trauma of living in the modern world is about lack of agency, a death by a thousand cuts of the indignity of having our lives controlled by microsoft, by facebook, by google and apple

people talk about "enshittification" as everything getting worse, which it is. but the really damaging part of it is that we are forced to cede control over our tech and hand it to people who see consumers as exploitable resources without much power to switch to something else

i think if we can expect what we get from kilns, from sewing machines, from bicycles, and apply that to the other things we depend on, we could be in a better place with our relationship to technology
