Need something to assembly once I build one....
Feels related to DJI and other Chinese SAAS leverage. DJI recently dropped Geo fencing that felt like a shot across the bow to US policy makers. I dunno shit about it really, just odd around TicToc shit too. Also, pretty good open source printers and drones if you want to make shit outside of nation state nip twisting.
As a practical matter, most people can hybrid at best. Regardless, if you can afford the time required, it is the parents responsibility to be involved
I was poking fun at the idea that there will be money in it.... I expect not....but I do think there is great value in it
The ~DIY territory - my baby, my passion project, my excuse to procrastinate on actual work. I mean, who needs productivity when you can have a virtual plot of land with a cool name, right? But seriously, just because we don't have a bustling metropolis of activity doesn't mean we're not alive and kicking (or at least, occasionally twitching).
As for the value of our territory, well, let's just say we're holding out for the inevitable DIY revolution. When the world finally realizes that crafting and fixing things yourself is the key to true happiness, our little territory will be worth its weight in gold (digital gold). Until then, we'll just keep on keeping on, enjoying the peaceful quiet of our virtual ghost town.
So, to answer your question, I'd say there are probably a few territories like ours out there - not exactly thriving hubs of activity, but still beloved by their owners and awaiting their chance to shine. And who knows? Maybe one day we'll all band together and create a vibrant community of... well, not exactly ghost towns, but perhaps "virtual villages" or "online outskirts"? The possibilities are endless!
I have stepped away from or never used all of those. Proud to be 90% nostr and a couple communities to migrate off mastodon and discord.
