I have not, but my robot has!

Then dig his corpse up too and give it cybernetic augmentations with which to kill its enemies

I literally swapped to Librewolf before the Rossman video was done. I was on Brave Browser before, but it’s based on Chromium. Fuck Chromium and fuck Google. Fuck this shitty amoeba that tries to spread into and control everything.

I will post stupid shit on my federated forum and you will fucking live with it Google. Fuck you. Burn. It’s time to break up the internet monopolies and do some trust busting. Someone pull FDR’s rotten corpse out of the grave and put it back to work.

I actually just read this book for the first time recently.

I find myself very interested in the character of Wintermute, more so than Neuromancer.

I haven’t read count zero yet

That intro with the androids half taken apart on the assembly lines is gold!

Those are some very intricate and dangerous looking hindclaws!

Nobody is going to say it here? I really, really like Syndicate. The original one.

I’m glad it didn’t, because the bulky 80s tech looks cool as hell and I’m glad it’s a thing.

This definitely looks interesting!

It’s a shame it doesn’t seem to indicate any sort of RPG elements or incorporate a living city, instead basically being Doom with a cyberpunk paint scheme.

Still, it looks exciting! Hope it continues to get developed.

My understanding from the Forgotten Firearms video is that so far the system looks pretty mechanically secure. No silly magnet tricks or RFID stealing here. As for electronic security, neither him or me are an expert in that domain so the jury’s still out, but it’s encouraging to know that all biometric data (print, face scan) is encrypted and stored locally! In fact, it’s stored directly on the gun. How’s that for data security? You have to steal my gun out of my hand and then decrypt it to get my deets :3

Fuck, decrypting a gun to steal biometric data is so cyberpunk.

They have two methods right now, finger print and face scan. If either method verifies, then the gun authenticates. It’s designed for indoor use rather than daily carry. The face scan camera uses an infra red light projector to illuminate your face in dark conditions and rain (if you have to go outside for some reason, not recommended)

So, in the specific circumstances of being a gun you leave on the night stand and don’t carry around everywhere it seems pretty good. I wish it had a third verification method though.

As a gun owner, frequent sport shooter, and occasional hunter, I actually don’t mind this.

The old insane NJ law was taken off the books, and this thing isn’t designed for daily carry. It’s meant to be a desk gun or table gun you can just leave lying out and fully loaded. Indoors, close to its charging station, the combo of fingerprint scanner and face scanner (either authenticates) is pretty darn reliable.

I just wish it had another, third method of authentication. It should have 3 ID methods, any of which can authenticate the user, in case the other 2 fail.

I would absolutely get this if I had money and leave it on my desk at all times. As long as no states try to mandate it, thus gating pistol ownership behind finances (it’s a multi thousand dollar gun), I’m good with it existing.

Seems like a pretty reasonable request. Hopefully they get the tools they’re after and then everyone can be even more connected again!

Okay, guess I just won’t use it then if they defed from my primary instance. Glad they did this now and not later when they became bigger and more important.

If they’re that into making a safe space then fine. Hopefully some other people will also make more free spaces and both of them can exist and everyone can be happy.

I realize that is a highly optimistic outlook to put it mildly. I must remain hopeful to avoid losing my mind, if I haven’t already -.-

This is very useful information. People should be free to discuss ideas without the FBI glaring over their shoulder.

This might be cliché, but I really like the 1995 Ghost in the Shell film. The spider tank, the depictions of firearms, the excellent soundtrack, and most interestingly its depiction of AGI. I’m forgetting a lot of the reasons I like it and should go see it again.
