> I fell into coding as a teenager, but I came into permacomputing through Marx and political radicalism, more than through gardening. [...] Finding a space that feels inspiring is the most important thing. It just felt right. We wanted a place that isn’t about production or efficiency, but about thinking, reflection, and care. — Ana, London

> ~diez sat down to brainstorm a digital space that would include identities from Middle America, one that would be made in a frugal and simple way. They've been exploring pubnix and the smol web while reading about frugal computing and low-tech, including permacomputing.

So it's a bit of a breath of fresh air for some folks to just be able to talk a little more freely about their actual political beliefs. — Steve, Philadelphia
