many of you are big accounts, which leads me to conclude you are just searching for more attention. followers number up: yay! down: boo!
it is as if we suffer a cultural cringe here about the fediverse's supposed worthiness as a social communucation medium.
the fediverse is more than fit for the purpose... 🙄
I'm beginning to think that I should start writing programmers reference guides for each major API in VM/OS.
I wish I could use RustDocs for that purpose, but that would apply to the kernel implementation, and not serve as a reference for people looking to write application code.
@vertigo perhaps a silly question, but your terminal font is amazing! --what font is it? 🙏

With my rough idea I explored yesterday of what collapse-era computing might look like, what sort of OS would fit?
Most places who care should be able to build 1970s if not 1980s-era chips, maybe even 2000-era. If we can continue obtaining wafers, not guaranteed!
The biggest challenge would be designing large RAM, & other datastorage.
Keyboard input & audio output would probably be the most feasible I/O, with mice & vector-monitors being secondary.

i get the sense that back in the 70s that there was a real urgency to designing solutions to problems.
nowadays tech just feels like a grift through and through. the link between the following two has been severed: money that comes along with tech, and tangible benefits to broader society.
iirc computers may have issued from the military in the boom period, but it took some decades for computers to fully transition from research novelty to money making machine.
everything is rented now, everything has a price. how can i spark people's interest in what kant might have called a "critical" approach to tech?
xmas, so much xmas.

there's a common misconception among many hackers that lispers are these arcane wizards who deal in cryptic black magicks.
for the most part i find this mildly derogatory view quite charming.
but after having learned lisp, used guix, emacs, etc., i think it would be closer to the truth that lisp abstracts away much of what is rightly unnecessary about C, python, imperative languages in total.
lisp makes you view the C 'system programmers' of the contemporary ilk as a hoard of locusts with an insatiable appetite for memory. just circling, swarming, gobbling, stripping every branch of useful memory dry.
remember, it's 'evaluation', not 'execution'--and yes we lispers have the humility to say we did not create our language, it is innate to mathematics. it was discovered.
