  • Its almost certainly something like this, i bet its actually all coming from replicator allowance.

    In voyager, Harry Kim mentioned saving up replicator rations to replicate a clarinet. I assume the same can be done for any hobby.

    Nothing would stop anyone from slowly replicating an entire kitchen (except maybe physical space constraints), then replicating basic ingredients to cook everything else, possibly even saving rations that would go to complex dishes in the long term.




  • Hardware does not need a steep upfront costs.

    You don’t need a nasa pc to run nextcloud, larger businesses routinely trow away machines that are beyond what you need. Chances are family of a member already has some machines they where going to trow away. Your hardware priorities are most cpu cores with as much compatible ram.

    The advantages of having your own hardware is you can run multiple local servers and let members experience without additional costs. Imagine it like a private mini internet run by members that only is accessible at location.

    I highly recommend proxmox as a server os which has 1 line helper script commands that create a whole nextcloud installation and others automatically, its also very easy to backup those.




  • Quite the opposite i dont need things to be perfect to enjoy them. “Gold” is pretty high up

    Skyrim was an amazing game that i sunk way more time in and i love cyberpunk77 but to reach my subjective silver or gold the main gameplay has to be something other then violence.

    Stanley parable and portal instantly come To mind as making the tribunal.

    The Sims was my first love but doesn’t make the tribunal cause enshitification.

    Minecraft cant make the list because the therapeutic effects it gave me right when my young self needed it transcends it being labeled a video game. Minecraft simply is an aspect of my life even if i don’t play for years and lost track of updates since cave n cliffs.

    There is truth that i generally am uninterested in most tripple A games.








  • I agree with the sentiment but not the logic.

    Chromebooks popularity is down to them being one of the cheapests laptops to buy in bulk for schools.

    The “google” label is also somewhat attracting to them because familiarity and having plenty of experience, resources to build, update, support the platform, provide documentation. This for every language.

    A new linux alternative would mean they have to source compatible cheap devices they can buy in bulk and have to install it themselves on every one. A class i personally would love but is beyond what most schools can do.

    The few open source devs are also unlikely to provide that much support as schools may require. For (slightly bigger) reference my job is deep into the Microsoft ecosystem and we have “colleagues” paid by microsoft that provide consultancy on their stuff. (And to make sure they keep us as a customer)

    I hate it, i think tech literacy is important but this isnt something a new distro can fix.
