Is cyberpunk imageboard culture dead?
/g/punk and Lainchan and /cyber/ were great websites when they first started, but the wave of traffic and fans has long since gone downhill. Is Cyberpunk dying out within imageboard culture? Or is there just less visibility of it due to external factors?
There haven't been many posts on /cyber/ or even /g/'s /cyb/ threads in the past year.

This is all doublespeak, if a "core userbase" is distinguished then they have and will exercise the right to decide how discussion is managed on the platform, to join the core userbase one has to allign themselves epistemologically or change the boards landscape through force of will. There is no gate-keeping, important private deciders or obtrusive moderated policing because they (the "overgrown child and NEET") can do it unaided preserving the culture they have sacrificed time to create in hermetic pursuit. You wanna be an overgrown child and a normie who relies on name calling? fuck of to reddit, you want to build a community? discard the rule of democratic idiocy and hash out ideas like men. Maturity is not something someone attains but a constant process, it is a very basic matter but will not come around if one is afraid to compound ideas which are unpleasant. "not virtue, but efficiency (virtue in the Renaissance sense, virtĂ¹, virtue free of moral acid)"

Having actual projects would help, the wearables thread is fucking dead, meanwhile this plebbit guy made his own smartwatch which has nothing to envy from models made by megacorps.
We need to get our shit together, less talk, more cyber stuff being made. I would like to build a Pizero-based solar server with a lipo cell all inside waterproof casing and could be just thrown into some roof thus creating a mesh network+FTP outside of megacorp control.

this board went to shit after /pol/ took over. Look at the first page now, its all just burger politics and idpol.
This happens to every board on the site, and once the /pol/ infection takes hold, there is no going back. Nearly every thread gets polluted with amerimutts shitting up the place.
We'd be better off creating a new board but that would be even slower than here.

obviously you need some transitional stage, you cant move from whatsapp to ultra encrypted autism noname messenger for example, so - somebody gotta create telegram
in general i think you're lame for crying like that
waagh people dont do actual cyber shit just roleplay
as if imagery isnt powerful and inspiring
the dude who created telegram is a fanboy of matrix and dresses like neo. half of nasa are nerds who watched shit like star trek when they were kids.

> Is cyberpunk imageboard culture dead?
Because this board is all about being - what items to buy, what things to wear, what wallpapers to put on your phone.
There's no "doing" here. All the people that do stuff have gone to other places where they can build robots, program, hack, talk philosophy, whatever.
This is why the only "products" of this and other boards like it are ephemeral discord chatrooms and flinging insults at each other.
As a counter example, we used to have totse. There was the usual amount of dickery and flamewars there, but people also did a bunch of schway stuff: diy projects, night ops, pyrotechnics, etc. Finally, the toxicity won out, all the doers left for places where they could do things in peace, all that's left are zoklet spin-offs full of proto-channers.
Nostalgia is the only reason why I pop in here every few months.

The Punk part of cyberpunk should give away why things are the way they are.
The shallowest easiest path to something will be the most popular. When people see punks or cyberpunks they just see the clothes they wear and none of the philosophy or ideology behind it. None of them explored the genre or took part in the hacking culture which influenced it. They completely lack the foundation to carry on any sort of movement as a next generation. So instead they make crappy distorted images in photoshop and put on silly outfits, because to them that's all anything *punk is.
Can it be reversed? Probably not. The kids today who would be into cyberpunk grew up in the 9/11 era, not the 80-90's tech boom era. Their experience with tech is more app store and seeing graphics go from the PS2 to the PS4. A vastly different mindset is in these people than the tech pioneers and the geeks which built cyberpunk up. The most you're going to get is a bad TV series like the Cyberpunk 2077 game coming out. Everyone will speak mexican and be some mutt. Which is what they think cyberpunk is because now Mexico is looking to take over the USA (hold on you triggered shazbots, it's coming). Where as in the late 80s and 90's Japan was the tech power houses and was seen as the future controllers of the world. Which is why so many Asian influences are in Cyberpunk. Taiwan made cheap shit, Japan made the expensive shit, Japanese tech was in everyone's homes… Now tech has stagnated, Asian tech is now seen as cheap and barely functional and that's why cyberpunk died.
I suspect in the next 5 years we will see a rise of (((cyberpunk))) like Ready Player One shit. All nostalgia, no depth but people wearing goggles and having tranny haircuts. You can already see it in vidya but TV takes time to catch up. I wouldn't put my brouzouf on there being a rise in cyberpunk fiction though. The people who would write cyberpunk are all complete shazbots with no intellectual depth, so you will just get pozzed stories about THE MAN (Trump or whoever) fighting THE MUTT (your choice of multiracial women). And they will fall into 2 genres, 1 is fart sniffing the latest Google tech and being DEEP. The other is the female power fantasy love triangle shit like Twilight is.

I think you are describing postcyberpunk. Postcyberpunk writers pride themselves in being more "realistic" and "sober" than their old school counterparts, but they just actually mean they just expose their entry level opinions about the latest political or social fad (that would be ORANGE MAN BAD and muh LGBT/roody poo oppression, nowadays). Also their worldbuilding sucks, and they are often on the furthest end of soft sci-fi. Nevermind a future driven by megacorps is still way more likely than a full blown return to a fascist dystopia, but of course the megacorps would try to make you think otherwise.
I think we can still go back to the grittiness of cybernoir, but someone has to take one for the team and start writing it. It's just a matter of time until the Netflix Geek fad ends and the idiotic hopepunk non-concept is dropped from the collective of Twimblr users, and then we could go back to enjoying our ancap dystopia.

Tribalism will always exist in some form. As such, people will never cease to divide themselves among racial lines until one group successfully genocides all the others or "humanity" as we know it ceases to exist- either through widespread gene modding though a race war between future scalies and furfags could probably happen or through the species becoming uploaded AI minds.

It seems the most common reaction to prosthetic limbs is either concern or remarking that it looks schway from what I've seen. Though amputees are pretty rare, even more so those with replacement limbs.

Ideas are the easy part. Pursuing creative projects in an effective, organized, disciplined manner is the hard part.
I had all kinds of "ideas" for solar power and Arduino and BSD boxen. I did not work on those projects with discipline. Thus my ideas did not become reality.

There are 4G boards (shields) for the rpi tho no idea if you could use them as a transmission tower for a 4G mesh. Also megacorps wont like it if you're using their closed spectrum.
Given the cost and that the RpiZW has wifi I think its cheaper to go for that.
The super cheaper option of a RpiZW with a solar panel and LiPo cell all encased in transparent epoxi for both damage and water protection could be done for less than $40, maybe less than $30 if the components are bought in bulk
