Please, tell me how “paying for hardware costs is enough”…
You’re saying he doesn’t need to do any work, that all thr work will just do itself, as long as he knows how it’s supposed to be done.
You don’t think maintaining a Mastodon instance takes any active input from the person maintaining the instance? Just knowing how to do it is enough to set up all the hardware and software required?
This thread is about how people aren’t willing to cover the costs when labour is included.
Then you comment with “if he had more technical acumen, he wouldn’t need to do [the labour that people are unwilling to pay for]”.
If he doesn’t know how and doesn’t have the means to do something he shouldn’t be doing it. End of story.
He does know how. He’s saying he doesn’t have the means, because either he has to spend his time working full time, leaving no time for the labour people are unwilling to pay for, or people pay for the labour they’re unwilling to pay for, giving him the means, in which he will be able to do it, because he already has the knowledge.
Kinda how if someone gave me a huge plot of land, a quarry, and a billion dollars, I’d have no you’ve building a castle. But since I only know how to build one and don’t have the land, resource or time to labour a few hundred years building a castle bymeself, I’m not able to build a castle, but it’s not because I don’t know how to.
Maybe some reading comprehension or writing practice would do you good?
Technical acumen?
You do realise things don’t happen just because you know how to do them? You still actually have to do them.

So youre saying if he just knew how to do it, he wouldn’t actually need to do it?
I know how to build a medieval castle with a moat and I’d have the technical acumen to build large sustainable hydroponic gardens there as well.
So why is it that I don’t have a castle, when I know how to build one?

Sounds rather magical to me. Please explain

Stop with the shrooms or liquor mate, they are not good for ya
Haven’t had shrooms probably about since you were in diapers.
And I don’t drink liquor.
But hey, thanks for the input.
Maybe it’s just dementia then, could happen to anyone of us with age
Oh no, you’re just not reading the thread properly and going along with that other fool.
How about you actually read the thread instead of leaving snarky comments.
