- GTP 1y agoI assume this Alexander Popov is a fictional character, as a quick Google search didn't turn up anyone with a matching profile.
- bitwize 1y agoYeah, I'm waiting for the SCP designation to appear.
- egypturnash 1y agoThis appears to be a promotional site for a movie. https://kubicki.org https://kubicki.org
- zabzonk 1y agoBack in the day I used to prefer amber-on-black terminals over green-on-black. But not now, it seems.
- helpfulContrib 1y agoI wanted it to work, but the font used doesn't help. With a better font, amber-on-black is restful.
- durakot 1y agoWe had amber screens in our school computer lab in Poland in the early 90s where I discovered gaming, so the look is seared into my brain.
- zabzonk 1y agoThe polytechnic I worked for in the mid 80s ran a little competition to see whether we should get green or amber phosphors on a new set of terminals. Most people seemed to prefer amber, but we bought green because they were somewhat cheaper (why?). I bagged myself one of the amber ones.
- buildsjets 1y agoSuper pissed I ever ditched my old amber VT-220. Still have memories of using it to dial into the North Avenue Trade School’s ancient CDC Cyber from my fleabag flophouse in Home Park.
- _1tem 1y agoSuch a weird coincidence. I stepped out of my house a few minutes ago to buy ice cream, and I bump into a Ukrainian friend of mine whose last name is “Popov”. I come back to my computer and immediately click this link on HackerNews and see the name Popov again. Weird. I sent this link to him and he says: where did you find this? And he says: his family name is related to people who invented certain radio components in the Soviet Union. Such a strange moment of synchronicity.
- macready 1y agoCoincidence? Maybe...
- kgeist 1y agoPopov is a very common surname in Eastern Europe, something like Smith or Rodriguez. At work, we have 5 Popovs :)
- sudahtigabulan 1y ago"Pop" is the word for priest, so it translates to "priest's" (son). (You know this, obviously. I'm posting it for the others.) And, I happen to chat with a Popov almost every day :-)
- vindex10 1y agoI studied in the same school :) I can't confirm geometric tattoos, but the school definitely taught me to enjoy the art of science!
- victor22 1y agoAlso the game.
- durakot 1y agoEaster egg: if you type 'camus' in the character selection screen you can play as Albert Camus in Algiers circa 1937, having premonitions about being a character in a text-based adventure game in the distant future.
- stavros 1y agoWhat game? EDIT: https://strangemachine.tv/safespace/ https://strangemachine.tv/safespace/

- p1anecrazy 1y agoIs there a place online to buy/watch this film?
- bsenftner 1y agoThis entire thing smells fictional. But, then again, as a frequent visitor to Joshua Tree during all the years mentioned, there is a fairly extreme new age culture there, kind of on their own advanced journey. Look up "The Integratron" for one such manifestation of them. Harmless, I think.
- NetRunnerSu 1y agoReminds me of this rabbit hole I went down recently. A short story about digital consciousness where death is literally a "prediction failure." The system's attempt to handle the end of biological input is terrifying. It's framed as a leaked document from the future. Worth a read if you're into this kind of existential sci-fi. https://dmf-archive.github.io/docs/story/facing-the-abyss/ https://dmf-archive.github.io/docs/story/facing-the-abyss/
