Can you build a computer at home?

There is absolutely nothing self-sufficient about computer hardware

Or generate electricity? Or grow enough food to survive? Medicines?

"Self-sufficiency" arguments coming from tech nerds are so tiring.

No, and that's the reason we're now paying twice what we paid a couple years ago. But I can write software at home.

We're already vulnerable to enshittification in so many areas, why increase the list? How does that work in my favor at all?
