Tech used to promise a better life. Now it requires a subscription and wants your biometrics just to lie about pizza toppings to you. Sounds like gen z is on the right path.

Tech is still cool, but subscriptions are not. That is why I like self hosting and open source so much.

I feel like gen z caught the full destruction of 3rd spaces that melenials still caught the tail end of.

I'd love a community space to share my knowledge of pre-zuck-thiel tech with. I feel like the complete destruction of 3rd spaces are part of why there is such poor knowledge xfer between z and millennials

If you have a Hacker/Makerspace near you, you might want to check that out.

the makerspaces in my city are full of trust fund elitist douchebags who who snub you if you aren't rich like them. they also charge usage fees, usually starting at 200/mo or 50/hr. they are not communal spaces for anyone to show up and hang out.

the only place that is legit free is the library, but their makerspace is only open T-F at 10am-4pm, because it's for teenagers and retirees.
