9 days agoI sort of understand the appeal of retro computing, but I can’t comprehend why anyone would buy an official $300 fpga reproduction with the hopes of modifying it. At that point it isn’t retro, it isn’t computing much of anything, it’s not a crafts project and you’re at the whims of the company for what you can do with it

I don’t think it’s that justified to cast 20th century generations as villains as a whole. Most people definitely didn’t possess a murderous intent to erase human race. And I certainly can’t blame people for overdoing it with environmental harm when the increase in their own quality of life was tied to those technologies causing the harm. It feels like blaming a starving person who just got access to abundant food for giving themselves refeeding syndrome
