Mastodon is the world's biggest community of people who deeply love computers and also think that the world would probably be better off without computers

@catsalad
The only good use for silicon is anti-slip surfaces (says person with two MAC addresses sticking out of their body)

@poleguy @catsalad nope, I'm talking about sand, not rubbery sealant, nor any other form of silly cones.

@viq @poleguy Speaking of dirt and/or sand... Here's a handy dandy BEAN HOLE diagram.

Diagram showing the BEAN HOLE. It's got a pot hook to pull out bean pot, layer of earth, and then inside the pot, it's got water, molasses, beans, salt, pork, onions, beans, more onions, and then at the very bottom it's just embers.

Some of the most fervent technology hating luddites I've seen has been total nerds.

Seems like half of the folks in an anarcho-primitivist camp back in the days worked as programmers.

Like folks were tanning hides and talking about how PHP totally sucks.

@alemppu Be careful, you'll get those nerds properly riled up by using "luddite" as a slur! There's a very good analogy here that I don't think you meant, but luddites *were* technologists, they were the ones building the auto-looms, improving them, etc. it wasn't technology they were objecting to, it was the fact that unions were illegal and they were being told that their comfortable well-paid work from home jobs now had to come into a factory floor for a 10th of the pay.

@alemppu TL;DR they didn't hate the technology, they hated how it was being developed in the name of "progress" with no consideration for the externalities or how it would affect actual people. Sound familiar? 😀
