Sounds like a great idea which neither of us is gonna remember about tomorrow. I’m in!
Remember what?
But seriously library economy, guys. There’s no reason for every house in your neighbourhood to own a jigsaw, or even leaf blower.
Tell that to the guy who drives a 3 ton pickup truck to work every day, because of that one time 4 years ago he had to transport a fridge rather than pay £20 to have it delivered.
“That’s socialism though…” Shut the fuck up becky, we know.
Sounds like communism to me. Better not say that too loud.
I’ve been thinking for years now about the idea of opening up a “neighbourhood kitchen.” I would prepare and provide all sorts of common ingredients, as well as cooking tools. People could come in and use what they want, maybe paying a membership fee plus used consumables. The most annoying parts of cooking are gathering the ingredients and cleaning up, these would be done for you.
Capitalism if it was actually driven by demand.
I have everything you need to make graphic tee shirts… 5 years ago… boxes never opened…
But researching and shopping is an essential part of the dopamining
dopamining
Oh god that word is so brilliant it gave me goosebumps and ASMR or whatever chills over my lower back and ass. Mmmm
You take back this AssSMR image you put in my head!
I hate it so much, the anxiety of not understanding the overview of what you are reading abut, the subsequent decisions, the pauses bcs your brainhole just gave out & needed some recharging time, etc.
… wait, did I say ‘hate’??
That’s kinda like shopping too. Just that second hand is better for the environment, doesn’t waste resources & doesn’t waste labour.
Now to hyperfixate on finding the best adhd buddy to trade with.
Researching and shopping is almost always what puts an end to the interest for me.
So, in other words, a decentralized “Library Economy” or “Sharing Economy”. Very Solarpunk. 😇
Around Seattle we got tool libraries, I don’t see how this would be that different
Got too many PCs, like optiplex small/medium ones. Can live without 4-5 I guess. Two tiny m710 (I upgraded them to m910q ^^) one with the famous cd.
What would you (imaginary) trade with me?
Genius!
Ha like I could just give away something so precious like hooby supplies used once. Sacred idols
As long as I hang onto it I can convince myself that I might pick it back up at some point. To give it away is to admit defeat.
Used once? What are you made of, free time? I just like to buy it and dream of the day I will use it.
Who the hell has time to dream anymore? Must be nice just sitting around on your brains all day!
Make sure to take it out of the box, so you know it’s hobby gear and not just a collectible.
This is why I had to uninstall Steam from my gaming rig.
My pi3 retro build (I’m talking cabinet, USB NES controllers, ALL them games. From all the regions) will age like fine wine.
Me, refusing to uninstall games in my backlog I haven’t even launched once yet.
What if my hobby is buying craft supplies?
My hobby is collecting broken computers and putting them on a shelf for later! Your hobby sounds pretty sensible - come the apocalypse you can craft away and you’ll have loads to barter with! Artists will travel to peruse your epic retro craft supply cavern!
I’ll be left wondering what to do with a Pentium Core2 if I don’t take action soon! I do upcycle them but right now the backlog is silly and they probably just need to go to the dump because nobody wants a midrange PC from 20 years ago.
Maybe my hobby is e-waste!? Fark! =-O
Well since you put it that way, my hobby is sensible. But then you reminded me of my other hobby of keeping every electronic device I’ve ever owned, along with wires, chords and ac adapters I don’t even remember what they go to. Together we’re like the e-waste little mermaid!
We could make e-waste into a crafting activity!
Isn’t that basically a makerspace?
Sounds like communism, better stamp that out immediately.
So, whats the protocol when someone lists something, and then immediately they’re interested again because they listed it?
(I watched my ex go through this cycle so many fucking times)
I think it’s got to be like once you’ve donated, it’s in the system and you’re just another borrower.
Maybe there should be a cooling off period for any items over a certain value where you can get it back if you regret donating. But stuff like pens and glitter isn’t going to be worth the bother of tracking that sort of thing.
I spent way too much money on a pen. At least I use it to take notes.
Looking at you new microcontroller that I haven’t even got the ide working for and am already kind of over itYeah, you’d probably better keep that
I spent way too much money on a pen
Are we talking entry level Twsbi eco, or a $1000 Pilot Custom Urushi?
$100 Metal bodied kaweco.
Very nice
I also go in cycles. And it’s great. I get to use my stuff and skills. I don’t buy that much anyways.
You have to go through a cooldown before you can list something again, to make sure you’ve really thought about it. Either that or it lets you think you’ve listed something, but doesn’t actually list it for a couple of days to make sure you’re serious.
I think there could be a box that you check, where another person linked to your account signs off on it. That way you can list it, and then when they think you’re renewed interest has died again, it really gets listed.
Look, I said I was sorry! What do you want from me!?!
Man, I’m glad my hobbies only require a computer.
Y’all are buying stuff??
I hyperfixate on research to find the best price/performance fpr my use case and then either forget, abandon or maybe follow through with it.
Last research (but only very minor): Ayn Thor to emulate Nintendo DS with an actual clam-shell dual screen setup.
Usecase: Pokemon Plat (or Diamond) and Dr. Kawashima would be prime material.
But it would be capable of playing less-demanding switch titles.Currently waiting because of cost and quality of hardware. But it looks promising (believe it was 400€ in total)
none of the DS emulators impress me enough to consider yet mainly bc of the touchscreen lag/no hard stylus
probably wouldn’t be impactful for pokemon but in DS games that heavily use the touchscreen it’s pretty noticeable
As I’ve only tried melonDS so far on a SteamDeck touchscreen with my finger, I can’t say much about responsiveness (not easy to slide on the screen).
But I’ll try and see how to works. Thanks for info.
When it’s as you described, I have at least a more portable pokemon Emulator than my steamdeck.oh yeah for sure I don’t think it’s a bad fit for your use case tbh just wanted to share my personal hangups.
i really wanna play diamond/pearl (my OG) but really cba with the two screens smooshed into one on my retroid pocket flip 2 but I didn’t even consider it for steamdeck … that doesn’t sound terrible w how big the screen is
considered the remake/remaster/whatever for the switch and could cope w the much less cool gfx but last I looked into it it didn’t emulate well
I play the brilliant diamond on my steamdeck (and pc) with yuzu and synced saves (syncthing) across both devices.
Honestly it’s amazing.
Same for melonDS.Btw regarding responsiveness: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Kt3GezkZeR4 (Timestamp: 16:14) for a demo at how responsive the emulator is on the ayn thor.
I like this because it’s also practical (and that Thor looks pretty sweet btw). What I’ll do is create a spreadsheet of all the classes I would need to take and in what sequence in order to get into medical school, even though I have literally zero intention of ever doing so.
Not something I’d choose to research but everyones different :)
Hope you stay high on your dopamine and your future research endeavours!
There should be a contract that you get the tools but you also get the last unfinshed project. This way, hopefully we may all collectively finish a project
There’s no way a neurotypical figured out that the stars rotate in predictable patterns in the sky that correlate with the changes in seasons and can be used to time crop planting. Also, that guy probably had a cave full of star drawings and was fed by the tribe because he routinely forgot to eat.
