oneil··on Who is still inside the metaverse?
Actually, yes.

Outside of my regular group of friends, I've met people who were regulars within AltSpaceVR which has now closed. They've now shifted to Horizon and avoid VRChat which is full of kids or people pretending to be a mouse in a race car.

Horizon has given me the ability to make friends from other parts of the country and the world. People that are actual friends, not just people I talk to online.

RMS is a brilliant mind and someone I have had the luxury of meeting. Every now and then I like to look at his rider list and have a little chuckle: https://github.com/ddol/rre-rms/blob/master/rider.txt

I came across a site that just rotated pictures of him, using his laptop in some strange places: https://rms.sexy

Almost. The dealer websites are templated CMS's which allow dealerships to add and manage stock whilst seeing the current price around the local area for the specific vehicle that is being listed (based on condition etc). These sites and the stock are then entered into the main database which is indexed and presented to users via the search. This has changed and improved since. NB: I used to work for Autotrader back in 2011 before they moved to their current home.
