Does abandonware count? If yes, then absolutely lol
My childhood was spent playing abandonware because our home pc wasn't strong enough for modern games at the time, so this is basically just reliving that while getting paid lol.
If abandonware doesn't count, there's still enough stuff that's ended up in the public domain to make it worth it (books and movies).
Apolinario Mabini great. Apolinario Mabini freedom thinker man. Very lemmy. Apolinario Mabini underrated. Goldfish brain connected Mabini and bussy. New name created.
To be fair, Raul is an actual Hispanic name. Rortugal has no excuse though lol
You and me both. Also means giving up certain comforts, but that's kind of the point. Maybe that's why the secular monastery doesn't exist- it'd be a huge sacrifice for those who would participate in it and still require some cooperation/consent/aid from others in the community/society (as much as self-sufficiency would be ideal). I'm thinking about how much people (and governments) already don't want to fund universities which give tangible benefits, and how much worse it'll be for secular monasteries.
But hey, I also want this, and it'd be interesting to see what insights would come from a place of thinking unconstrained by the trappings of modern society.
(Or it could basically just be libraries and being a librarian but more extreme lol)
I echo this sentiment so much. A lot of folk my age or older like to place the blame on the younger ones for issues beyond their control (like generations before them lol) but I do see the younger ones being a lot more outspoken about issues. I feel like its up to us older generations to ensure that they can actually achieve those dreams and make a change, rather than just blindly criticizing them.
