You mention elsewhere in the thread you like to think about code.
- Do you make it?
- How do you keep a machine powered? That actually seems harder to me at first glance than keeping yourself powered
- what do you make?
- I associate computing with “urban” and “industrialised”; like ... I assume we need the economics of The City (and to a degree its infrastructure) in order to build and run computers. I’m fine with the use of computers in “earthy” locations like farms and cafes, but their construction and typical use seems “urban”. If you’re still with me and this hippy way of talking, what does it feel like to work with computing whilst living unbound from The City?
- forgotmypw17 6y agoYes, I make the code myself. I keep machine powered anywhere there is AC outlet. There are still quite a few around, but I'm now relying on friends for workspace. I'm praying that soon my project will be appreciated enough that I will be welcome in more spaces. I make a web-based forum system, ultra-compatible (mosaic, netscape, ie) and decentralizable (everything is stored as downloadable text files) Computing while untethered from urbanism feels well-rounded to me. I am an animal/spirit, of this soil, water, plants, dirt. I am also an intelligence, and the 'net is where intelligences come together these days. So I feel like two essential parts of me are getting what they want.
