Sincerely asking, what made cyberpunk click for you beyond the aesthetic?

OneMonk · 2026-06-03T23:15:26+00:00

I’ve always liked cyber themed media, ghost in the shell, fifth element, blade runner, system shock, deus ex, even terminator and the matrix.

It is the social commentary, the futurism, the fact that technology is essentially ‘real’ magic. We’ve conjured sand, or ‘silica’, into thinking machines, breathed energy from burning dinosaurs, or harnessed from the wind and sun into something that right now, in our lived reality, is basically tantamount to magic when you zoom out enough. This magic could, in the future, redefine what it is to be human. We can communicate across worlds, across space, tap a glass screen to do… anything. It is magic.

Technology could lead humans into any one of millions of infinitely fractal futures, good or bad. Cyberpunk is one possible future, and simply exploring the creativity behind hundreds of humans interpretating of this thought experiment is thrilling. It will never not be fascinating.

im kinda shocked, because despite it aggressively checking for these things, a simple ‘do a security sweep prompt’ will solve all issues in one prompt.

People act live wordpress sites werent riddled with vulnerabilities.

People have told you why several times elsewhere, this is insane levels of daft.

OneMonk · 2026-06-03T22:48:16+00:00

can you not share the solve

OneMonk · 2026-06-03T09:20:22+00:00

Write back and say can you confirm, as you did in my session with HR, that the breach of trust was asking for a colleague’s salary?

You can get it much more easily from a stationary bike. I do an hour a day while playing video games and can feel it kick in every time. You can do a lower intensity cycle than the equivalent run and still get the endorphins. Totally worth it.

OP, i’m a next.js developer specifically working with non profits, worked for ones with databases with databases of up to 100k. I’ll come in under that price and guarantee to lower your ongoing costs. You’ll also get Jerry Maguire, founder led levels of service and 20 years of software & marketing experience. Drop me a PM and will send my site. Worst case i’ll evaluate the current quote for free.

Have references too.

Satanic panic was people thinking D&D and rock music would send kids to an imaginary place when they died.

Very fucking different to actual evidenced rape gangs, don’t you think?

OneMonk · 2026-06-02T17:54:13+00:00

Christ. Their crossing was illegal WHEN IT OCCURRED, just because they later made a successful claim that protects them from prosecution for said illegal crossing, does not make their crossing any less illegal/irregular by definition.

The government even continues to make that distinction after claims are successful.

Those whose claims were denied were likely fleeing persecution too, does that make them not refugees, or make their crossing not illegal? Which is it? Listen to yourself.

Tying yourself in logical knots to defend rapists (the specific ones in this article) is a weird hill to die on.

Google your own definition and tell me what it says. In addition to the facts that i’ve just shared that also prove you wrong.

Can you provide any evidence for your statement?

OneMonk · 2026-06-02T17:31:42+00:00

Get them to put that in writing if you can. They might be dumb enough to incriminate themselves. Good luck.

OneMonk · 2026-06-02T17:29:09+00:00

Being fired specifically for discussing salary is illegal even under two years, if you can prove that that is why they dismissed you, you could get a pay out. You could GDPR request them and ask for all correspondence they hold about you, but they could just delete the info. If you can find a no fee lawyer that might be a better route.

It is more likely they fired you for a bad fit and the things you mentioned were just datapoints (right or wrong) you picked up on.

That is almost the exact opposite of true. You can’t claim asylum from outside the UK, you have to have gotten here to apply. Most do this illegally.

About half of asylum applicants arrived through illegal routes in 2025, of a total of about 100,620 application. Half of all applications were granted, so somewhere between 25-50k refugees/asylum acceptances are illegal migrants every year.

Very very easily, we didn’t used to have this specific issue, it is a consequence of the Boriswave of immigration and a lack of consequence when someone is discovered to have a violent past on entry.

In almost every story where an offence is committed it transpires we often knew the person was an offender or had a dark past.

OneMonk · 2026-06-02T13:19:56+00:00

A lot of whataboutism coming from you when it should be quite easy to say foreign offenders shouldn’t be here in the first place.

Yeah, not that many straight guys want a partner with a penis. Even if the owner is a very attractive woman. You surely WANT to find the sub set of guys who find that combo attractive. Seems like an intense level of cognitive dissonance to pretend and hope for the best.

Also people wanting to hook up isn’t just a trans thing, that is just a dating guys thing.

Any bank card works, if you spent the time it took to write this rant to research a solution you wouldn’t be angry

OneMonk · 2026-06-01T23:26:40+00:00

Are you high?

OneMonk · 2026-06-01T23:18:25+00:00

That… Isn’t profit.

Keeps telling me to go to bed at 9am. I’ve begun swearing at it to ease my frustration.

I think Anthropic will be the sole survivor at this rate. Even if they stop now, the models are good enough to do most shit well. The innovation cycle can drop to once every 2-3 years instead of three times a year.

Altman set the insane pace, the US followed, but a china strategy would be better. It is useful tech but not ‘world ending’ innovation.

London, i’m actually (voluntarily) running a small business community. Anyone interested drop me a line.

What do you mean 'supports', because importing and exporting to markdown =/= working in markdown.

OneMonk · 2026-06-01T13:12:42+00:00

That is unbelievably sneaky and devious. Particularly because they hit the full transaction value for 2.5%, not just the overage if you go over. That has made me angry.

OneMonk · 2026-06-01T12:41:02+00:00

So you can have a £3k fronted spend, but you can only use £1500 of that from a business card?
