gollark: You need a more coherent system for paying for works where it's hard to capture value than just "decide not to starve artists".
gollark: This is hard to distinguish. You can "make things" on a personal computer and such nowadays.
gollark: Interesting! I'm glad that's been resolved.
gollark: Which is possibly true in a lot of cases because of general-purpose computing abilities being slowly eroded, and interesting online platforms lacking (good) APIs, but still.
gollark: An issue with the Raspberry Pi and stuff for computing education is that they separate "programmable computers" and "normal computers" and might make people think they can't do interesting stuff with what they already have.
