Prior to the early seventies, #computers were centralized machines—occupying entire rooms—that #academics and #hobbyists shared or rented time on, using them communally. They were more boiler-room infrastructure than #LifeStyle accessory, attended to by experts away from the #PublicEye.”
Read to the end. The ease of use of complicated tools, results in a lot problems in the future.

Roll your own ethos, lots of effort to get in, things don’t just work, pioneer mentality, lots of #hackers and #tinkerers and #hobbyists, small but passionate #community seeking connection.
Maybe won’t have mass appeal but perhaps that’s not the goal?

Of #HumanServices) that Section 595 of the #SocialSecuritiesAct does not relate to #SelfEmployment.
This is exposing #hobbyists to price shocks and all manner of difficulties.
