hmm so i used that term here to mean ‘capitalistically successful (in a bad way) girl boss’. i suppose me just using ‘girl boss’ to mean that might be presumptuous on my part. my bad

its a pun. it assume a basic twitch streamer streams only twitching (of muscles). so someone streaming knuckle cracking a like twitching and cracking, double the fun

as a linux gamer, i cant deny the good valve has done for linux gaming. but to me that doesnt excuse steam as a monopoly, the gambling, valve’s uncaring responses to steam scams and such. minor issues also irritate me, like their removal of library sharing (screw the new family bs they added), bs drm locks that dont let me play games without launching the app. i intend to stop using steam soon, for many reasons it sucks and i feel horrible paying them anything. and thats just me im not here arguing others should do that, do what u think is best for u. i find wine good enough for my games and i dont do online gaming so im fit for quitting steam

oh yea this is a joke (that valve is good). i hate steam by every cell of my body

quick reading through wikipedia gave some context, but nothing specific to why an egg. i think the reasoning is simply that egg is more commonly known than a cocom. which i know somewhat sounds ridiculous but im thinking that based on that egg is a very common food ingredient and commonly seen by most people (sometimes daily)* (*atleast like in developed places i’d assume). while seeing a cocom is gonna be rare to uncommon for most people at least to the scale of eggs.

secondly, with metaphors already existing like ‘coming out of your shell’. an egg would socially make more sense (easier to connect to the metaphors that already exist). so egg cracking -> coming out of your shell would be easier to presume and understand the reference then something unfamiliar or relatively uncommon. that is not to say that the metaphor of caterpillar to a butterfly isn’t common, but egg checks a lot of other ‘common’ checks here, so stastically would be used as the main metaphor more commonly. (though to note im making up what counts as important boxes and statistics here, along with what the stats are according to what i know and not any real data to link; so who knows u know)

thirdly, egg could’ve just been the luckier metaphor

community driven (initially), a mess but still functional compared to “better” version, forever modifyable by the community unlike corporate network. mess to love (so yes what u said)

what killed the internet is information overload. in many way no one can have a private or closed space. twitter for example you are bombarded with everyone’s thought on everything and before long you have a lot of information about things you dont care about, and no way to engage properly with just one of those things. you can be vulnerable on the internet, but in a mostly public and algorithmic internet, its gonna be exposed to so many people who will hate that.
