A computer is much like a car or a gun, their ownership blurs the line of public, private, and personal property. I think we can all agree there is something fundamentally wrong with an individual buying a whole bunch of GPUs to mine crypto. How much computing power is too much for an individual person to be allowed to possess?

    We need to do literally whatever gets boomer-types in my life to stop asking me how to transfer all their photos to a new phone or how to respond to someone on Whatsapp every time they see me.

      Social tech help. There needs to be public tech educators and help through the library to save us from this bullshit.

      there's this one weird trick i've been using for 15-20 years now. i tell them i have no idea how any of that works.

      this is plausible because i really dont, since i havent used windows seriously since win98SE and have literally never seen a whatsapp.
