sometimes it's hard to imagine what a better world would even look like; my kilns give me a glimpse of what that could be.

In response to this post@nora so what you're saying is the kiln market is absolutely ripe for disruption, for an app to control your kiln remotely, for a "smart kiln" that empowers users to subscribe to different heat settings and durations... a premium tier for bisque... a Raku box (presumably for streaming the firing process to other devices in your home)
@ptoothfish thank god they do not seem to know how to use computers well enough to have that be a problem, based on their websites and manual layouts

In response to this post@nora
my most recent glimpse came from working with 70s computer hardware at our computer museum. it's very serviceable, with full diagrams, docs and maintenance manuals available.
my hot take is that many or most aspects of today's computing are actually "agency friendly", but a couple of bad apples (pun not entirely unintended) are doing a lot of damage and governments are either not helping, or helping to make it worse.

@nora
Cool thread. ^^^
We need to teach people - and especially children - how to make. Knitting, carpentry, the sculptural arts, cooking, you name it, are all empowering because when you're a maker you're an agent, someone to does, not someone who is being done to.
Right to repair laws also go a long way, but first people need to convince themselves that they *can* repair.
