Someone DM me and explain urbit
Conversation
It’s just a very new conception of what a personal computer is, nothing more/less
it’s slow + clunky + doesn’t do much for the time being because its fundamentals are still being laid out, but one day it’ll graduate from being a virtual computer into being a physical one

urbit is hard to describe because people overthink it and try to explain “what makes it different” – urbit is just a general-purpose computer, and a general-purpose computer can be/do anything

So this is like, purposely a bad explanation, right? Because to most people a computer is a physical object and nobody has shown me their physical urbit they bought in a store.
Replying to
no, I'm genuine here, not trying to obfuscate anything: urbit is literally a virtual computer lol
have you ever emulated a game on macOS/windows/linux? retro games need to emulate being on an older system in order to function, and they use virtual computers to do this.
