[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 128 points 3 weeks ago (1 child) hmm it would be nice to make some side income with said hobby project...." This is a symptom of being forced to live under capitalism. If your needs were generally met by society you wouldn't have this urge. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] BreakerSwitch@lemmy.world 62 points 3 weeks ago (2 children) I actually really hate that every hobby should be incorporated into hustle culture these days. You crafty? Sell what you make. You like fixing things? Charge people for it. You play video games? Stream. We've built a world that only cares about cash and it's exhausting permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 child) I like to fix things.

E.g. selling knit plushies or hats so people in your community get food quality items and at the same time you get more funding for your hobby and don't have 100 hats lying around. But yeah. I dream of an alternate reality where I could just go borrow a community oscilloscope when needed for a project since I don't have the €450 right now to put to that. (My projects require at least 100 MHz 4 channel and might as well spend the extra 50 for a good Siglent with 10x more memory depth) permalink fedilink source parent
