Great post! We need more people to share their experiences. In the end, I'd rather support a decentralized open platform run by the community that a centralized commercial platform run by greedy capitalists.

Ugh, not a fan of articles like this. Old hardware can continue to have plenty of uses, depending on what those uses are. (I was using a 2010 Mac Pro to run my laser cutter up until last year, and still have an even older iMac as a music player.)
No, different Cory. (I've known him over 30 years.)
I do care, and I don't ignore it... I just think that we can try to amplify the good things as well, if not more. The people who hate Milwaukee are always looking for more and more negative things, and those are some of the people who enjoy the benefits Milwaukee provides to the state of Wisconsin while at the same time condemning it.
The shootings in Milwaukee never seem to stop.
Really? I live in Milwaukee and have yet to witness one or be involved in one... so they can't be going on all the time. I agree with the "post less of this type of stuff" sentiment.
We've got six printers at work and when the sheets wear out I use a fine steel wool and scrub them with acetone. It resurfaces them and gets a bit more use out of them before they need replacement.
I've been doing Arduino things for the past dozen years or so, and I was a huge supporter of the Arduino organization, and I still use the Arduino IDE, but I've mostly moved away from their boards in the past five years. I've used a lot of Teensy boards over the years (hundreds, actually) and the occasional UNO, Nano, and Micro, but the Raspberry Pi Pico has been my go-to board in the past few years, and I work in education where the micro:bit seems to really be taking off. It's a shame, because I'd love to see Arduino continue, but not as a closed-source company.
I’ve got an RG35XX and I don’t think I hold it any closer to my eyeballs than I do my mobile phone.
Am I the only one who likes it?
I think it's the pain of receiving high medical bills which keeps me (and most other US citizens) from doing fun/silly/stupid/risky things...
I use hashtags on my posts to help other discover them, but also to group my posts by subject. I probably follow 30 different hashtags on Mastodon to help me find interesting posts.
