I always see these posts and I absolutely love them despite understanding none of it. More power to you and your strange niche programming artwork or whatever this is.

one should not chase the electric dream, but strive to became an extension to its dreamer
Automatism in the age of the children of Unix.
It's a box of antique photographs. A blade, a girl and a fish. Whatever it means, you're invested.
Now that you're a surrealist, become a Techno-Mage:

Based? Based On What?
Based on Unix and GNU?
Basé et rouge-pilulé
This always cracks me up, because it's a perfect example of a snake eating it's own tail. "Based" was originally just a shortened way of saying "based in reality" or "based in fact", but new people didn't get the original context, so it just became it's own word. Then, the uninitiated started making the "Based? Based on what?" joke, completely oblivious of the original meaning.
"Based" is young person slang
unixbased and bsdpilled
Visual critique (if that was the ask): BSD is somewhat hard to make out in the her hair.
As I get more of her story, and see interesting IRL developments, I wonder about the computer systems of her world. Do they have the same ISAs as ours? If so, did RISC beat CISC? If not, do they use inputs and outputs not possible in our world?
Thank you for your critique!
I will digest the bits from your questions and perhaps they'll be answered in the shape of a future bitmap.
