The antidote to materialism isn't minimalism; it's maintenance. Keep things. Fix them. Mend them. Grow old with possessions you know well because you've cared for them.

@SordidAmok It's frustrating some stuff is so hard to repair. For example, I've got an iPad. It's still perfectly fine after eight years. I would be happy with it. Unfortunately the battery is shot and it loses 75% of the battery when unplugged from charging in the time it's taken you to read this.

Changing it is beyond my physical capabilities and paying someone else to do it is beyond my financial capabilities so I'm screwed.

@retrosponge @SordidAmok I have an old iPad I use on an exercise bike and it’s plugged in all the time. Finding uses for devices that fit within their limitations is helpful.

@rasterweb @SordidAmok Yeah, mine is so screwed that it runs out of battery even when plugged in.

It drains faster than it can draw power.😕
