Does this mean that stuff like GNU/Linux and supporting Right-To-Repair laws is Cyberpunk, now? I dunno about that. But its at least an application of that other part of that Pondsmith quote, which is, "It's about how people use things..."

Its not just the tools that make you punk.

Maybe the issue isn't that mainstream productions like Cyberpunk 2077 are, "betraying" the Cyberpunk genre as much as that the actions and ethos of self-described Cyberpunks in the real world can be wildly different from those who produce Cyberpunk fiction.

In other words, maybe there's now a sizable difference between Cyberpunk as consumption and Cyberpunk as Ethos, more than there was 30 years ago in Gibson, Pondsmith and even the Wachowski's heyday. And while your mileage may vary on how helpful that has been for people so far, there's potential there IMO.

pleased with the release of the news about Madeline from Celeste to be able to confirm that yes, trans people can dash in the air in the 8 cardinal directions, we’re just modest about it and so only use it for saving kittens from trees or to kiss our tall wives
