    42? That can’t be an accidental number. Yarvin is such a ready player one. (Weird the journalist didn’t notice).

    or holds the fantasy that Urbit or nock is the answer to life, the universe, and everything from the hitchhiker’s guide — same difference really

    the journalists I’ve seen covering urbit so far haven’t been fantastic — nobody has truly torn into it, and playing both sides with something like this (as this article does breathlessly talking about the artists and authors who use Urbit without evaluating their output at all, or when other obvious bullshit is uncritically echoed) is dangerous and allows shitheads like Yarvin to build their own mythology unchallenged

        oh most definitely, these articles are still goldmines just for how hard the stupidity of the Urbit crowd shines through on its own merit

          i went through all of google news and these seem to be the only usable press articles on these fucks. then i went through all of Google Books and there’s nothing in there either. urbit is barely notable, but at least i get to make fun of it.
