In my opinion the most important skill that someone can possess these days is “technological literacy”, which enables a person (as well as a community) to interface with modern communication tools with ease. When this begins to happen, the whole interconnectedness of humanity through language becomes apparent as our dominant reality.

Thank you for taking the time to write and publish this article. It’s well written.

You can probably get the required bits for a hell of a lot less that that!

Glad to be of help 🙂

I mean… yeah. You can whitelist the site. But if it’s the kind of shitty site which won’t let you visit unless you view their crappy ads, why would you?

Very cool

I mean, I don’t actually live in a caravan dude. I live in a house like a normal person.

Also, the queen is like 95 or something?

eww.

Your article while well written. Honestly doesn’t tell me what I already know about sites like these. Hate speech using a thing, words do not hurt you. Why add a footnote telling “cyberpunkers” to report people for saying stupid shit? That goes against the very idea about punk and honestly makes me wonder why ever donated if it’s to support hack hasbeen journalists who shitpost. You are not cyberpunk, you are quite literally a poser. So by association this site must also be run by posers. I’ll look someplace else for people who actually understand what freespeech is and what it means Also fuck the UK gvmt and the queen who rules it.

I’m not personally working on it at the moment because most people are using browser bookmarks, Pocket, or Pinboard to get their URLs into ArchiveBox, but I’d love to see progress in that direction, and we’re always open to contributors for it! The ticket to follow for updates is here: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/577

Yea. If they have ur name, they could correlate that with the address. Assuming the package is within relative driving distance, they could at least triangulate your position and unless ur full name is ridiculously common, you’ll be found. It is the most anonymous method tho, unless you have a dummy address somehow, or someone to accept the package for you. Or, unless ur off the grid.

Should definitely get that idea going tho. If you want any help on the business side of things, I’d love to help tbh. Rn Amazon has a lock on that, and they don’t need to have control over another market.

It was a pleasure Nick. I wouldn’t write about ArchiveBox unless I used it myself 🙂

How’s the progress on browser extension?

Hey Laura, are you still alive? Or did something spectacular happen? What are the chances.

This article can’t to my mind as well as I had just read it a few weeks ago and at first I thought this article was covering the same girl from the pcgamer article. I will agree both girls share eery resembleness to the character. Certain screenshots of the character more closely resemble the Sara from this article, while other screen shots more closely resemble the girl from the pcgamer article. I think the research that cyberpunks.com uncovered of anime and video game characters whose not only appearance but name also closely resemble the overwatch character and are from 5+ years ago just proves that these girls may not be as original as they claim. You may think you’re being original but many don’t realize that their creativeness borrows off images that’s been stored in your subconscious. A cutesy, pale skin, pink hair, girl is not that far fetched as I know females personally who are petite, pale skin, and die their hair pink. The shape under the eye is also nothing new as just about any girl who takes a selfie on snapchat or instagram use filters that add shapes and characters to their face many times being under their eyes. Most artwork I see nowadays also adds such shapes under the characters eyes. Did overwatch deliberately steal likeness from these two girls specifically? I doubt it, I think the artists who created this character probably has watched alot of anime and played alot of anime in their years and although we can’t remember ever character we come across, but borrowed traits from all of these characters pulled from their subconscious without them even realizing it. The same goes for the name, the girl from this article admitted for reasons unknown to us that her name is fictious, but often times when trying to come up for a name for a personal your concious will connect the dots for you without even knowing it. So with so many pink hair characters named saraphinne, saraphinne, that Sara phine is not that far fetched either. Another point is try coming up with a petite, pale skin, pink hair, character that does not somewhat resemble any of these Sara’s. It may be harder than you think and there’s only so much you can do to differentiate a character from anything else that has ever been created. We live in a world with artistic freedom whether it’s with your personal looks, artwork, or animation and for about 40-50 years now many have strived to create something new and unique now leaving very few stones un-turned. Just like how normal people that no one has ever heard of coincidentally resemble a pop culture character whether it’s from a movie, tv show, book, or game, we do have 7 billion people on this planet who have create a unique personality for themselves, the human body only has so many characteristics so it’s pretty common for two people to look like each other or a character you created to resemble someone you never seen before. So no I think these girls have no right to say or sue riot games because a character they have somewhat resembles themselves, especially with examples from years prior to the creation of their persona also resembles in name and likeness. I see no harm in the coincidence either. If anything it will just give them more exposure, but to say it’s harming their image? No way, that just gives off the vibe that they are self entitled believing they are owed something just because of a few similar traits that are not uncommon in our culture, only speaking up for attention. Otherwise anyone who looks like anyone would be crying for a payout, hell I get told I look like MGK because of my tattoos and hair style that I’ve had since 2008 and I’ve never went to the news to complain about it. These girls need to grow up and realize that it you want to make something of yourself it’s going to take hard work and dedication, dressing up and taking pictures of yourselves might get you by when your young but it won’t bring you world wide recognition, fame, or riches. You got to set yourself apart from everything else and put in dedication and hard work to achieve that.

Who? What? Are you lost?

It ain’t hurting anyone right, this girl isn’t getting hurt and to even claim she is inspiration is crazy it’s like the guy that said he was Prince’s son but he wasn’t it’s people trying to link themselves to something popular or try to get 15 minutes of fame. However if she can prove without a doubt that she was the inspiration then cool I’m wrong but I’m Mexican and have long hair and look like Victor from Smoke signals but I don’t claim to be him or be the inspiration I just happen to have similar characteristics. But know everyone is trippien on the most minute thing

Well, I’ve had the Covid recently, so that wasn’t great. Creeping middle age? Male pattern baldness? An occasional yet overwhelming sense of ennui and apathy? Lactose intolerance? Gallbladder issues? Recent onset cat allergies? Periodic episodes of panic at the fleeting nature of human existence, the incomprehensible vastness of the universe, and really – what is the point of it all, when you get right down to it?

Nothing major, but you’re free to take your pick from the list.

What’s wrong with you, Pal?

I know, right? The hypocrisy astounds me every time I think about it.

While Steam is certainly a video game platform, the acronym, STEAM, is often used to include the arts in the context of STEM learning.

Steam is a video game platform.

Thanks, Keith. Things are working as intended. We like your website also.

You’ve also overlooked Singapore. There, Cyberpunk is already the present in many ways. Wired recently wrote a large article around that. Check it out.

Second, if the outrage is that a real black female isn’t making the money, but rather a white male, shouldn’t there be equal outrage that modeling and marketing agencies are ending up with the majority of capital from their use of models?

The point I’m absolutely *not* decrying is the inequality of workers in an industry due to racial, cultural, etc etc differences – I very much agree that the diversity of humans is not represented fairly across essentially all industries.

I only wished to point out the “unrealness” of models in media in general, and contrast the article against that.

And you’re spot on Connor, it’s importance shouldn’t be forgotten, but unfortunately I do see a lot of comparisons against the tropes it helped define. And where newer Cyberpunk media moves past these tropes, it’s often judged as not being Cyberpunk.
Cyberpunk is the oddest genre in that retrospect. I’ve never seen a community more at odds as to what does and doesn’t define its own body of work.

Nevertheless, it’s still the genre that I love more than any other. Hopefully fledgling Cyberpunks can continue to push it forward.

There’s never a wrong time for dick jokes, John. I think a topic centered around viagra and bestiality is especially appropriate

What a weird topic to make fun of men’s penises.

You’ll really like them, Daniel. Doctorow is one of our favorite writers working today.

More of these on the way 🙂

We like Drugs & Wires as well. Stay tuned, as we’ll be featuring it soon 🙂

TY . All fixed 🙂

All fixed 🙂

Thanks, Kevin! We fixed this 🙂

If you’re interested, email us at info@cyberpunks.com, and we’ll send you a thank-you sticker!

We’d also like to reassure anyone who thinks a rogue AI, bad actor (Jeff Fahey?), or the Lawnmower Man himself may have made this mistake. It was just CyberPunks.com staff. Nothing to see here.

Shows over folks. Move along. <3
