    It probably does deserve its own post, I’m not sure I can do it justice. “Urbit is an attempt to make computers great again”, the phrase “from scratch” appears 7 times, “Urbit is doing God’s work to make the perfect computer”, [in a linked tweet] “Urbit fulfills prophecy”.

    I missed the comments section at first. “This is one of the things Urbit got right. Especially useful to pique people’s interest and keep them invested by giving them a unique, cool identity.” Jurij claiming that Urbit is amazing because…usernames?

    And then there’s the link to Plunder, which the NixOS-heads will have to investigate to figure out what it does.

    “Plunder is a new programming model where programs run forever. Hardware restarts are invisible to the software, as is moving a running program from one physical machine to another.”

    Finally, Haywire has such lovely readers as squints “Eva Brawn”.

      oh I got you covered! as soon as I get the chance I’ll draft a new urbit thread for this. I believe our last one covered Plunder which is indeed a trip from a Nix standpoint; I should dig that thread up to reference
