Hello there! My interests here are primarily low-level computer <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#programming</a> and interacting with people :)I'm working on a minimalistic computing environment. It provides a 16-instruction, 32-bit VM, a low-level language called Slang, + more. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/SubSky" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#SubSky</a> [Details on my website.]<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Golang" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Golang</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/HaikuOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#HaikuOS</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Linux</span

Well, I didn't enter my demographics... something tells me that if I did that I'd be opting in to down-ranking myself :/ #DEI #LinkedIn

Once you get deep into the world of logic and computer science, you wonder how existence works. When does something in a simulator program really *exist*? #ontology #philosophy #computerScience

This software I&#39;m making is pretty abstract... I think this particular task qualifies as kernel development ..? I&#39;m adding support for my object-capability model #Itemsys to my #SubSky computing environment. I plan to [re-]port my emulator Sbse to UEFI. #OSDev

RE: https://mastodon.social/@keyboards/116409080633916664 Moving Caps lock away from its modern location and replacing it with Ctrl is always a #based move. And I like how having the function keys on the left balances out a little the usual imbalance the #numpad introduces. As usual, I love the huge enter key (deserving!) but the tiny backspace is probably a deal-breaker. #keyboards #computers

RE: https://mastodon.social/@keyboards/116372275744173493 A pretty clean keyboard layout... but having Return and Enter separate is quite interesting. Does pressing one or the other guarantee a newline in fields where pressing Return &quot;submits&quot;? #ClassicMacOS #retrocomputing #keyboards

Gonna give #TheAmazingDigitalCircus a try! #TV #YouTube I hear it&#39;s a psychological horror in some ways. I was one of those people who questioned reality when I they were young. Horrible times, but it&#39;s part of what made me who I am, and I wouldn&#39;t want it any other way.
