@cstross The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to the Hallmark Channel

@cstross
Isn't cybercore just, like, gamer PCs?

[randomgeek@hackers.town]

@dymaxion @cstross DIY 3D printed gamer PCs with questionable parts of unknown origin!

so yeah basically

@randomgeek
I'm being snarky about cottagecore mostly being in practice a consumer marketing brand aesthetic rather than an ideology in any meaningful sense
@cstross

[randomgeek@hackers.town]

@dymaxion @cstross yeah I was really disappointed when that clicked for me. Cottagecore, goblincore, stuff with aesthetic and proclaimed ethos that I find appealing, wrapped into branding for products or worse.

If you can name it, they can game it. Well heck. I'm still decorating my desk with cool rocks I found while walking the dogs. crowcore?

@cstross Personally I'm all into cybercottage and I refuse to explain what it is

[rgegriff@hackers.town]

@ngons @cstross Very same! Notable works in the aesthetic are Low-Tech Magazine and those people who do 99% of their computing on low current drawing machines with eink screens
