    What’s far more likely than 3d printed prosthetics becoming fashonable is people just rolling over and accepting the distopian surveilance state.

    I can’t even get most of my family to use Signal to prevent Facebook from reading their private messages, what could happen to convince them to go full cyberpunk?

      I was going to write exactly this… Most of people even from GenZ they just don’t care… Cofee, traveling, stories of traveling to make jealous other people and that’s life for 21st century…

      It’s an age thing I think. My parents and their generation don’t give a shit about that stuff because they’ll be dead in 10-20 years anyway (their words). My gen and the ones after seem to be have more sensibility to that topic because they’ll have to live in that dystopian hellscape.

        If everyone you know uses secure messaging apps, youre in a bubble; their adoption rate is very small.

        Of the people I know, even those who use Signal/Matrix still use Chrome and GMail/Docs/Drive. They have a long way to go before they don prosthetic noses.

    Regulation “may” fail to keep up with the technology?

    lol regulation is always done after the fact—if it all. In the EU, yeah, there’s a chance it gets done eventually. The US lol. Regulation is about 44 years behind.
