@gloriouscow @ldcd on much more modern chips, large vertical lines that interconnect a lot of stuff i believe are often bus fabric complexes? they usually get positioned so that they connect to every part of the chip

@azonenberg and other silicon reversing folks would probably know better than me here tho lol

@jakobpunkt wha...what......

i can't even, i genuinely cannot even at this point, the delusion is so complete at this point

@gfaster @lina i think the issue from the programmer's perspective is that: a very large portion of users *will not care* that the implementation was slop-coded and *stolen*, only that it exists. the credit is erroneously going to go to the person who *stole* Lina's work and nearly none of the credit is going to go to Lina herself who actually did all the hard work here. programming and reverse engineering is very much a field where work being attributed and credited correctly is extremely important, especially when it comes to things like career advancement and just plain *satisfaction in one's work* so her being credited for being the one who did this work is really really important in general.

(you may notice I keep emphasizing the word *stolen* here. *stolen* is the only correct word to use here, Lina published her reverse engineering work and progress out of a sense of goodwill and a desire to be transparent to her community, and the slopcoder here stomped all over that and decided to steal *her* work that this person had no right to steal, and take all the credit for it by putting it through a slop generator.)
