Meta Platforms. X Corp. tell me those aren’t straight from a strangely prescient cyberpunk classic

        Nothing, I was just saying that it’s a cool cyberpunk corporation name. For me the gaudy names like Meta and X are a little on the nose, true evil lurks under a veneer of banality which I think names like TA have.

          I had hoped, that you would notice my user name kind of resembles Count Zero, my avatar is taken straight from a Count Zero book cover, and my home instance is lemmy.villa-straylight.social

          Well, you know what they say about explaing jokes and what that does to their funnyness. I guess it was not obvious enough.

            Omg, I’m actually glad you mentioned it because I totally missed it!! I actually have to get around to reading the rest of the Sprawl books. Rereading Neuromancer now and might just keep going in the others.

            What are things like at Starylight.social?
