If you're clever enough to abuse thermal printers, you can probably also apply that ingenuity to solving problems for profit. In this regard, perhaps the anti-work ideology is limiting. I understand and appreciate that some will find themselves in a rebellious phase. However, the narrow focus on "what is" ignores "what is possible". Technology has created multifold opportunities for value creation. There are even fields where the same adversarial urges can be applied. Development and publishing is wide open for creators. Even after all of the big players and platforms, there's still open realestate for solo builders. If you find work tedious, then become clever. Create something which will earn an income on the terms you define and find acceptable. When you fail, look inward and decide what you can do differently next time. Don't blame others. You can't change them. You'll only make yourself a powerless victim. Retain your individual agency and keep going. Learn and advance past your challenges. 1) Identify the problem correctly. It isn't work. It is tedious, unfulfilling work. 2) Create your solution 3) Profit!
