That's actually a really good question. I think Drop did own Geekhack, but I'm not entirely sure that they still do. I've been out of the loop with the hobby for a while now, so it is totally possible I've missed things.

Seems like my instance did not index this community for some reason, had to go find it manually using web version and dance with a tambourine for a little bit to make it appear.

Subscribed now!

Okay, I’m almost sold at this point, thanks for taking your time to convince me :) Gonna add those expensive ones to my wishlist and start with something cheaper from Etsy as a test.

And it’s totally okay to be passionate about things you like :)

‘idle hands’ community

Is it an actual community here on Lemmy? Can’t seem to find it.

All good, the downvotes are not my doing :)

Imagine trying to converse about politics and society without immediately pushing for a far left/right revolution of sorts? 🤣

I tolerate it, though barely. But that’s not the reference I was trying to make :)

Yeah, I’d stay away from lemmygrad, they are clearly on a wrong side of history.

I wish there were more moderate leftist communities out there, the ones that are focused on highlighting downfalls of capitalism without trying to convince everybody that USSR 2.0 is the only good alternative.

Looks interesting! Can you wear them like a bracelet though?

My concern is that I need to have the thing with me at all times, and ideally so it does not take any space in my pockets, so wearing it sounds like the best option.

My gripe with people posting links to paywalled websites is an assumption I must be subscribed to that source already. Or that I’m willing to subscribe on the spot just to read the article.

Regarding ads vs per website subscription, in an ideal world we’d have some kind of Spotify for magazines, but it ain’t happening so I might as well just accept the ads and read the article. Beats just looking at the paywall in frustration.

Just 24 quid a month, that’s a steal!
