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?

          Small and chill. Like it was an abandoned orbital revolving around the fediverse ;-)
