In that world, everyone’s privacy was lost “when the cloud burst”, revealing every private kink, writing, messages, etc for everyone including the rich and powerful. The response was a hard turn towards absolute privacy via avatars.
Plus the art style is great.
Shit, indeed actually got me a job once, and I’m starting to look again after 8 years.
I’ve been meaning to add his patreon. I have too many as it is and need to call a bit, but I just feel guilty about it.
It’s not like you can learn from it (even if the topic is something you’ll never use like a 2 hour dissertation on heat pumps or a multi-video series on how an old pinball machine uses only relays to calculate scores).
Why yes, I am subscribed to Technology Connections, how could you tell?

Luckily, my VIN wasn’t working for registration (I guess it hadn’t quite gone through fast enough that the car was purchased). I’ve gone two months without BlueLink and I’m hoping that’s saving me from some of the info gathering (or at least it’s not directly linked to me.
Good as in “the worst that the Internet has to offer is an old man orgy”.
It was a simpler time.
Jesus, tell me that site is still up. I need to be reminded of when the Internet had good things.
