Write in on a post-it/piece of paper you keep near your PC

How do hosts of those instances afford to make them free?

Why would that be the case in the future? It was in the past, when people used to maintain whatever they made/bought and use it until it was completely unusable, because they were too poor to buy a new one

Industry and automation made production way more cost efficient, but didn’t do the same for repairing, probably because it’s not as predictable and automatable as making stuff from scratch

You can repair a lot of stuff, but you usually have to pay more than the price of buying a new item

Yeah I feel like this may have the opposite effect, making kids see it as some boring school/old people stuff rather than ignoring its existence and learning about it from “tradcon” memes on social media, which may make it look “cooler” to them
