  • First thing is to realise that accepting it isn’t:

    • Giving up
    • Being happy about the situation
    • Being cold or heartless
    • …or anything else that others might imply it is.

    It’s just accepting it as reality so your rational brain can work without your emotional side always getting in the way.

    It’s also not necessarily a “one and done” thing. Some days you’ll be better than others, especially initially. Some days you’ll be a mess.








  • I think framework are worthy of support even though the company is American.

    1. Regardless of who you buy from… Manufacture including assembly is done in east Asia. That’s where most of your money is going.
    2. Framework are not tech giants. They’re a small company battling giants.
    3. The ethos of ownership, repair and upgrade needs supporting.
    4. They’ve been following through on their promises.

    So yes, I’m not buying US goods as much as I can also. I make an exception for Framework. They’re the resistance in an occupied nation.




  • Governments tend to just defer to “industry experts”, which basically means 'big dumb idiot corporation that verifies their robustness via a human centipede of paid consultants

    “Industry experts” that are trying to stay on the money train of government contracts, because they know that they’re not going to be held accountable when the shit hits the fan.

    Best thing we could do to kerb government spending would be removing contractors from previous failed projects from the bidding process.
