"The Magnetic Dog Sisters were on the door that night, and I didn’t relish trying to get out past them if things didn’t work out. They were two meters tall and thin as greyhounds. One was black and the other white, but aside from that they were as nearly identical as cosmetic surgery could make them. They’d been lovers for years and were bad news in a tussle. I was never quite sure which one had originally been male."

How funny is that, eh?!

We're all #JohnnyMnemonic, nowadays, in 2024, there-abouts - using "GPL stealth modules", on a daily basis!

I'm enjoying quite the chuckle, indeed!

edit: of course, i didn't double-check the #OpenSSL licence - it might not be the #GPL - that's not the point! It's a FLOSS-enough licence, it might as well be a "GPL stealth module" ← there you go, curmudgeon, that's the joke!

To celebrate "Johnny Mnemonic" turning 29 years old recently, I'm posting about this classic CyberPunk themed film.

Although interesting, it should be obvious that a thumbnail concealed laser whip that Shinji uses in could pose as much danger to its user as its intended target.

Also the laser whip clearly inspired the monowire in Cyberpunk 2077.

One of the most unintentionally (or intentionally) funny scenes is between Johnny and Ralfi. Udo Kier chews up the scene here, it's impossible he didn't see Johnny in the mirror before he looked away. Everyone's acting is completely over the top.

Corporate grade encryption displayed in "Johnny Mnemonic" certainly took a different path then what we currently use in the real world.

Just the fax, ma'am. Just the fax.

#JohnnyMnemonic is set up in 2021. So even the past future turned past, yet FAX survived.

Today, January 17, 2021, mnemonic courier Johnny decides to take on one last data-transporting job so that he can afford his brain implant removal surgery (Johnny Mnemonic, 1995)

For no one in particular (yet I feel this will find those who need it):

I can only hope I look half as cool as 1995 Keanu when I'm using the Vision Pro.

This is just too good. #VisionPro #WWDC2023 #johnnymnemonic #cyberpunk

We were so busy, we didn't even notice how cool was the Internet 2 years ago.
