The most cyberpunk thing I’ve seen, oh, this week, I guess

A lot of people are filming in 6K or 8K, but only because it gives them more editing leeway when the final video is delivered in 4K.

“YESS! YESSSSS! GIVE IN TO YOUR EMACS SIDE!!!”

Google Search really sucks these days. I can’t find any images of Richard M. Stallman as a Sith lord, even though I’m sure vi fans have made several edits by now. …It’s been a while.

I was born in '79. I know a lot of 1980s/1990s stuff that’s floating in popular consciousness right now is fictional romanticised bullshit, because it’s based on romaticised fiction made in that era.

For example, I knew most kids didn’t hang out at The Mall. I was a kid. We didn’t have a goddamn mall. American movies and TV showed kids hanging out at The Mall. Maybe hanging out at the Mall was an aspirational thing. Or something.

It’s a thing that happened for some people but it’s not the entire truth about the era. It’s not just that people tend to remember the good bits, they tend to remember the good bits that happened to someone else.

There’s a reason why nobody makes AI slop about the Finnish 1990s banking crisis and its wide systemic repercussions felt to this day. Edit: Sorry if none of this makes sense, just ate something other than cheap potatoes for the first time in a week

Linus was a bit of a trendsetter what comes to standing desks. In an interview he also commented on the walls, saying the paint colour is also used in mental institutions because it has a very calming effect on the human mind. (Goodness knows Linus needs all the chill he can muster.)
