I did. antifa and troony flags everywhere. trannies and gays in every corner. I only came to listen to a performance of a friend but left immediately after it was done. A few years prior at the same event there was none of that. it really boils down to an obsession with queerness along with commie/socialism moronation. Another friend said he was coaxed into a polyamory workshop and someone wanted him to take estrogen pills. I don't want anything to do with these people.
Can confirm that experience. There's no space for hacking in those hackerspaces.
I'm Chad Stevens that writes code, and I have too much stuff to do to give a single shit about that kind of people.
What's the point? Why?
When they were a thing, it was cheaper than buying your own CNC mill to prototype a thing or two. Having a hackerspace around me was the only reason I bothered with a custom high precision drive for my telescope mount; buying one would have costed me about 10 grand otherwise.
I don't know what type of hacker spaces you have around but the one I used to attend had a good CNC mill, a laser engraver/cutter, and a lathe (which I actually bought for cheap when they closed).

Yeah? That's a maker space in the original sense. We had an artist who used to make literal steel sculptures on that mill.
idk, that confused me as well. probably to get people to learn about it and try to normalize sexual degeneracy. whyever this shit has a place in hackerspaces... don't ask me.
I was there few times and it was really cool. Unfortunately I lost contact with the group I would go with and I would feel out of place going alone.
They dont allow cis white men.
they're afflicted by the same low-effort political sealioning queer homosexualry as open source software is inundated with. people who don't actually do anything related to the subject-matter, but act like they do, and turn the whole thing into a political game. hacker types and open source software types are really vulnerable to the "i just want to have a discussion about this to find the best way to do it. you're not going to deny me the ability to even just TALK about this, right??" thing. this is how the activists get in. their target demographic is typically a little pro-freedom, anti-censorship, so it seems right to allow discussion and avoid censorship, but this just snowballs as they jam a wedge in to your project or hackerspace further and further until it's suddenly a communist queer meeting place and your 3d printers are loud and annoying and disrupting the meetings and therefore have got to go.
i even say this as a gay dude: if you let the queer politics people in to the nerdcaves, they'll eat you alive like a burrowing parasite and live in your skin while you rot.
None to speak of. We do have some conferences every now and then from people trying to set up programmer communities, but when I went to one the speakers were teenagers who fricking sucked at explaining their topics and most people were just there for the food
I'm planning to move to a new city anyways so hopefully the situation will be better
I went and there was a troony that kept trying to give me estrogen pills even after I politely declined several times.
There was a cool talk that I listened to but then I kind of left because it was a weird vibe in the place I didn't like and the estrogen pill dude really soured the whole thing for me
Hacker culture is dead, man. Like dancing on the rotten corpse kind of dead. I've contemplated going to my local CCC Erfa group quite often, but besides the fact, that I prefer to be alone, I just imagine it to be awful. I see no reason why the people in the Erfa group should be any less of politically obsessed homosexuals than the people at chaos congress. I don't mind if everyone had their own little opinion, but at this point CCC isn't about computers anymore. Wau Holland would be spinning in his grave if he saw what his little community became.
I know you're trolling, but I'll take the bait. That's the very wrong attitude. How about your hackerspace is actually about computers, programming, hacking, electronics, and stuff and not some politically obsessed circlejerk? Idgaf about your politics, I just want to have fun using computers.
Wenn man keine Ahnung hat, einfach mal die Fresse halten
the CCC was political from the very start
it was always about the distribution and decentralization of power through free information (knowledge is power)

>yeah goy attend the nsa sponsored cia run commiecuck cultist whitehat coc'd redhat troony rust shill ritual >...don't be a lame normie using wangblows!!
a flat earth conference would have more real people
and thats saying a lot actually
Regular CCC visitor here : holy shit the trooning. It started in 2017 something like that and it just exploded with Covid-19.
There's bretty gudddd tech talks but avoid the political ones like the pest.If you can get past through all that SJW shit there's still a few stuff to learn and enjoy.
The one based part about it was it being in the same building as a private property that acted as an open orgy locale for swinger's with really tight vetting.
The one guy that dragged me to that hackerplace was the only guy who was "real" but also came with a lot of red flags, there was zero collaboration overall, and there wasn't a place for me like you are saying.
No but I had my ass licked clean by multiple people while suspended upside down getting waterboarded with champagne by some stripper cradling my head on her crotch.

I'm glad to inform you that someone was me.
All went out of business during covid.

A hacker space is a CNC mill?

A hacker space is a synagogue with a soldering iron.
>a polyamory workshop
a workshop
for polyamory
there's a workshop... for... what?
idk, that confused me as well. probably to get people to learn about it and try to normalize sexual degeneracy. whyever this shit has a place in hackerspaces... don't ask me.
I was there few times and it was really cool. Unfortunately I lost contact with the group I would go with and I would feel out of place going alone.
Also imagine being american.
>imagine being american
ccc is german
The one here is just like 7 40-80 year old guys fricking around.

Solution: act like gays with the homies
I think the local club here is a terrorist organization. There's lot of Hamas and Hezbolah flags everywhere.
Also, there were asking for donations for palestine.
We need to make a based /misc/ hackerspace where we can jerk off to pictures of Xi Jinping and Vladmir Putin
wasnt Carmack trying to make one?
no gatekeeping, corpo wienersucking
Yeah I think he was making one to bring back hitler because he wont join the castration cult

I'm not a hacker
cost me 17 bucks for the bus to get there, can't go there more than once a month

I don't know where to find one.
I'm afraid of social situations.
I don't even know what I would do there.
I'm a woman, plus the wifi is probably riddles with shit
I'm a woman too. How's your transition going?
I run one, anon.

A ninja cannot be seen.
because they're full of trannies and or commies
So are you saying your friend is a child and you are underage? MODS!
What's the use case of a local hackerspace?
IWNBAW
hacker spaces have largely devolved into three categories, all interdependent and overlapping
1. trannies talking about how being a freak makes you a cyborg
2. activists telling everyone that their opinions make them nazis
3. neophiles showing off the latest corporate gadget they bought
You forgot the neckbeards printing their w40k figurines
those tend to fall under categories 1 and 3
>w40k
Now thats about to become a troony space
they cost money. the only reason i'd go to one is to use a tool that i don't want to buy. i'm not giving annual dues to scammy sam.
Picrel is my mirror after peaceful protesters
It was 4-6 middle aged ugly dorks quietly using their laptops.
The cafes in my city are far more pleasant.
Sounds based. Maybe you're the problem.
The one based part about it was it being in the same building as a private property that acted as an open orgy locale for swinger's with really tight vetting.

did they push estrogen on you?
No but I had my ass licked clean by multiple people while suspended upside down getting waterboarded with champagne by some stripper cradling my head on her crotch.
