Comment on amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity
SLVRDRGN@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI’m glad to read those words from you. My wife and I are trying to envision and do our part as well. Small steps, humble as they may be, are always the start to anything great that’s ever been done, no? :)

I suppose so. I’ve recently been toying with 3D printing basic mechanical components, saving project files with various chains, sockets, joints, clamps, gears, etc., and learning how to adapt and remix objects on OrcaSlicer to design new things.
It isn’t much, and I don’t intend to monetize it, but for instance I’ll never need to buy a C-clamp again cause I can print them with about 10 grams of polyethylene. Now I just need to learn how to extrude my own filament and start collecting water bottles…
If society goes down, it’ll give me something to barter with. “Need something printed? What a coincidence, because I happen to need some oats.”
