7.4 what is an angel?

#unix_surrealism #analognowhere #comic

I really want to see @prahou do an #AnalogNowhere / #UnixSurreallism send-up of the infamous 2017 apple iPad "What's a computer" commercial.

Something like:

  • Child sneaks into Fruit/MATA headquarters
  • Child quietly inserts a USB stick into the MATA mainframe
  • Explosions are heard all over
  • MATA guardbot: "Do you realize what you have done! You have destroyed the ENTIRE fashcorpopaxtech infrastructure! Nobody will be able to use a computer!!!!"
  • Child: "What's a computer?"
wannya transition from arch to openbsd because of #unix_surrealism #analognowhere
"they despise your kind because you understand the machine, while they have to turn jungles into fuel and enslave thousands of computers just to pretend that the machine speaks to them too." #analognowhere
"no, my cyber-sibs, this revolution will not be televised. it won't even be streamed on matavids live.
in fact, it will never come.
but if you want to watch a computer die, you tuned in to the right broadcast."
#analognowhere

field work:

dear reader

i am indeed spread too thin, but much has been worked on in the background.

With the recent (i pray temporary) demise of lemmy's sdf, where unix_surrealism had its place in the fediverse sun, I took the time to recreate the analognowhere website yet again. Maybe this website rework might provide a new way to experience what I've created to old and new fans alike from all walks of activitypub implementations and the wild wild web.

https://analognowhere.com now reads like a book, the order of things has been reversed - you can start on page 1 and keep going forward to go through the entire catalogue. this eternal feed contains all the long issues that previously existed in a separate directory. Once you open an image post, a new feature i am very much proud will present itself - it is the ability to click on the pictures themselves to navigate back and forth (pressing the left half of a picture goes to the previous post, pressing the right half goes to the next one). a new option "up" is also present, which will take you to the current page of the feed where the post you're currently viewing resides.

I am still working on the issue I promised you last month, it's hopefully going to be the best one yet, even topping the infamous Grendel in length. I do wish for it to be good and not rushed for the sake of being put out asap, so firstly excuse the delay, and secondly, thank you for sticking around for all the other things I've been working on in the meantime.

That being said, I am quite surprised but pleased that https://subversive.pics gained so much traction over the past months. What originally started as my own private aggregator of about 3 independent galleries that I wanted to keep up with, grew into a recognizable term of an anti-solution of digital collaboration.

Should you find some of the things I make worth supporting, you may do so here https://analognowhere.com/support Every little bit helps.

Thank you being here.

I wish I had more to write, but I don't even use computers.
