Hello, it's me: Zero-Sum Guy. I'm busting into your replies to let you know that thing you like is not 100% effective and thus we shouldn't do it at all, even if it's an improvement over the status quo.

@Seirdy Yeah I know. I was really referring to a specific type of person.

Also should clarify: I mean access the desktop and run software. Not just getting files from the hard drive.

My new favorite Bible verse is Isaiah 55:2> Listen carefully to me: eat what is good and enjoy the best foods.

What’s it called when people are technology self sufficient? Building and fixing their own software, maybe hardware too? I don’t think it’s “vernacular computing” but maybe?

Yo if anybody needs help setting up their own online stores instead of using #Etsy or others, I'd be happy to advise.I have a lot of experience w/ this type of stuff.I've been in digital marketing for 15+ years and have helped LOTS of indie creators get their businesses online.

A quick answer for anyone who wants to pay little to nothing and get started ASAP:Check out AlternativeTo (link at bottom of toot).PrestaShop and WooCommerce (for WordPress) are both highly reputable OSS.But you can scroll down and browse the others. There's some promising stuff on this list I've never used before myself but I will be investigating.https://alternativeto.net/software/etsy/?license=opensource

When you leave a marketplace like Etsy you lose the "findability" and other built-in marketing mechanisms of the platform.You'll have to build out your own marketing which is easier and not as gross as it sounds.Marketing is a bad word around here but the reality is we are all marketing ourselves all the time.Every time someone posts a link to their project, that's marketing.Every time someone asks for financial help, that's marketing.#GetFediHired that's marketing.

I will be keeping my music free, however starting on May 1st, 2022, it will cost money on places like Bandcamp, iTunes, etc. Free downloads will still be available directly on my website. If you prefer your music to exist on big platforms like the aforementioned, please pick up my music now while it is still free.

I have a theory that *most* people have at least one “energy vice” no matter how eco conscious they think they are.

I love /r/antiwork but I really don't like the name.It should be /r/antijob.Human nature is to do work.But human nature is not to have a job.Building software is work. Gardening is work. Making music is work.Work is good. Work is healthy.Jobs, though. That's where our mental, emotional, and often even physical selves break down.

What do you like about musicians releasing their music as Creative Commons?
