  1. I tried it a couple of years ago and it was pretty dead. Maybe musky buying twitter will push more people to the platform. I think social media is goin gto go through a significant rejig over the next decade as people rethink their relationship with social media and what it means. I think this article raises some interesting points on a potential future for VR and social media. Also of course, William Gibson's Bridge Trilogy (Virtual Light, Idoru, All Tomorrow's Parties) are a particularly relevant look at what might come about (as well as lots of manga/anime but I think Gibson really captures it from some of the sociological aspect). Lol sorry, not relevant at all to your question @auxien but I just got on a tangent.
  2. I would never try and troll a troll.
  3. Yes, just a less disheveled cunt than BoJo.
  4. Looks like you got the less disheveled option: https://www.bbc.com/news/live/uk-politics-63327087
  5. E1 of "The Peripheral" tonight. Reading the book again concurrently to see how the adaption goes. It's going to be tough to capture the existential dread that Gibson brings to his futurism, and they've already changed one of the key parts, but it's worth pursuing so far.
  6. If this needs to be shortened, Kendrick said it pretty well: "clout chasing hell of a disease brother"
  7. Ugh. Trolled like the british who voted leave.
  8. Yes very good, you never mentioned the Illuminati. Your point was that there is some controlling force in the background across world governments This is the premise with which I disagree.
  9. Oh no, I got the point you were trying to make, I just disagree entirely with the premise of it.
  10. photoshopped but accurate
  11. Brilliant bit of Swedish techno out last month. Ingenvart (last track) is a peach. https://lomskrecords.bandcamp.com/album/bekymmer-ep
  12. Made in response to a very original comment.
  13. I didn't realize the Tories had such a commanding lead in Parliament. Yeah you guys are just going to have to take it up the arse for a bit. I mean if Corbyn didn't have any political nous, then Labour are in a worse state than I imagined over there. Yes the Illuminati are well and truly in control.
  14. If there was ever a time for a no confidence vote… I suppose that means having competent leadership in Labour, and I’m not fully up to speed on where that party is at. Corbyn is too toxic for the British press (and resultant fuckwits who swallow the shite your red tops publish), but he seems to be the only one with any political nous.
  15. Wasn't the Supercodex CD released as part of the Superposition project?
  16. Just listening to the single for the first time - don't know how I missed this thread. Really makes me want to go out and buy about 15 subs with an amp to match. The voice reminds me of UT1-dot
  17. If the Brits vote him back in, they deserve everything that's coming to them. Although this may spur Armando Iannuci to write some more political satire, which is a win for everyone.
  18. They celebrate liver damage by drinking a lot of high end alcohol.

    Now Reading

    @hello spiral what a weird mix of the KKK and burqa for the uniform. Great find.
  20. loved "fall or dodge in hell", the social media bit with the feeds and algorithms based on class and being able to afford a personal curator was pretty good.
  21. I dislike this argument - I don't think those people are dumb. I think a lot of them are racist assholes who are scared that their way of life is changing because of demographic shifts and can't adapt, this simply allows them to stoke their own belief system. If I wasn't obtuse I'd be acute, and I'm definitely not that. (a non-real answer) For sure. Those photos of people at facebook or wherever sitting in an office, while all wearing VR headsets is fucking hilarious and very sad all at the same time. I haven't watched Ghost Dog in a long time - I love Dead Man though. I can't go find him on twitter cause now the link in the original post you made isn't showing up either in mobile or on the laptop - I guess he's right. tech is a failure.
