What hobbies help you minimize or avoid navigating commercialism? (lemm.ee)

By commercialism, I'm aiming at a mix of spending a lot and sifting through bloated business models (e.g. this or that accessory/equipment, microtransactions, etc.). Feel like many can relate to this sort of commercial fatigue, and yet it creeps even into hobbies where one tries to unwind.

Lately I've picked up reading more again, as thanks to libraries I'm able to do just that, but I'm wondering what some other, less obvious options* might be.

This is mainly for the going outside, walking folks. I enjoy a good walk from time to time, but I'm interested in activities that are a little less obvious.

Honestly, that's not bad for a start. That Xeon should be fine for most things. I run an amd 4650g pro and never get close to using it all.

Side Note: The people over at [email protected] have been immensely helpful for me in my brief journey so far.
