I’m constantly torn between “I should make more of an effort to keep this cyberpunk community alive” and “I should give up on this whole Lemmy thing”… so here’s a meme.
I really should find a giant repository of random cyberpunk artwork that I can post regularly since I can’t keep up with a constant stream of discussion topics. Of course, if I did that, this community would turn more into r/cyberpunk with its random “here’s what I drew in class today” posts.
Is the ‘cool’ part NOT supposed to be the fact that you have circuits of raw power embedded in your very being??! Because we are headed towards Capitalism Hell whether we have cyberdecks or not. I would personally much rather have highly useful body mods in the Capitalism Hell…
Do you really look around at the current consumer tech landscape and think the mods available to anyone but the 1% would be useful?
We already have people with artificial eyes that got shut off when the company that made them went out of business. Similar issues with other implantable medical devices.
so true for the average person, but this is why I use linux, you really just need programmable hardware that can interface correctly, the software is were the magic happens…
Sorry, I couldn’t resist :D
