  • There’s a difference between tech geeks and tech bros.

    The tech bro is selling you NFT web 3.0 AR experiences, the tech geek might be learning Docker to self host a Lemmy instance, not because he needs to, but because it’s fun.

    Both have always existed: one was selling you some horrendous domain during the .com bubble, a plot of land on Second Life or even a perfect marriage based on a secret algorithm running on his Commodore 64, the other was busy playing muds and learning how to make free calls by ringing weird tones into a public telephone.


  • Sometimes you want to read something that blows your mind and innovates at the edge of philosophy.

    Sometimes you want to turn your mind off and be entertained with interesting but predictable stories in interesting futuristic settings.

    Both are equally valid experiences, both have merit, and both can equally be science fiction. You don’t get to gatekeep and entire genre based on what portion of the experience appeals to you.
