But Trogdor is cool.

No, he’s just grating and obnoxious.

A “haha, I got an obscure funny meme” tattoo is a terrible idea, but you do you.

I’m not a programmer and I’ve been dual booting for 25 years.

If you like or need the latest software, use a rolling distro. I use Manjaro (boo, hiss) and really like it. But if you don’t want the Arch users to beat you up and pants you, I hear Endeavour OS is pretty good.

Bonus points for making Arch users seeth because you call Manjaro, Arch.

With prices like this, it’s kind of performative activism though. It severely limits access and makes it like privacy is a luxury only a few can afford. That’s a weird message to be sending out.

That really sucks and isn’t a good look for Purism.

My post was essentially a knee-jerk response to a blog I read. It’s not really all that important, I just thought it would make for a entertaining post. And it was.

Techy without nature? I don’t know where you’re going with this.

Their prices are insane, $999.00 for a 11.5" tablet? $799.00 for a mini-PC? Are they fucking mental? Who would buy these?

What kind of society would you like?

Oh jeez, I’m not going to try and tackle that question right now, but I will say I’d like a much fairer one where people are taken care of.

I wonder what you think of art deco such as the Chrysler building.

I love Art Deco! The Chrysler building is beautiful, but I don’t think the world needs skyscrapers.

I can’t think of much I’d rather not do than live on a farm. I’m from the Midwest (Indiana) and it is a backwards, intolerant place full of backwards, intolerant people. They have tech and they still suck. I also hate gardening so that’s also in my bottom 10. The ideals of solarpunk sound nice, but I don’t know how well that would play out in reality. I probably wouldn’t like it.

Yeah, thanks for clearing that up. I think I just got a bad impression from some posts I read and terms I may have misconstrued.

I think something about the style of writing or terms I’m not familiar with. Some of what I read on social media was off-putting, but it’s likely I misunderstood.

Thanks for the clarification!

Thanks for the clarification. Maybe it’s the way stuff is written that has given me a bad impression.

Blame Descartes.

Because not everyone thinks the same way. I can appreciate the basic concept of solarpunk and would love to be able to say I’m all into it, but there are some important questions I personally need resolved. If I didn’t ask, I wouldn’t know. They may not be questions you have, however that doesn’t mean they’re not valid.
