+- **Drawing someone's own face (or letting someone else do it) and then using it for a profile picture**. "Modern" soydevs on twitter and blogs are so guilty of this, especially the "game devs" with pixel art portraits etc., it's so narcissistic and cringe you just want to puke. Why would anyone humble even allow someone to make a statue of him, allowing the danger of cult of personality and becoming a [hero](hero_culture.md)? Why the fuck do people obsess about forcing their ugly faces onto others?
+- **Decorating one's body obsessively**, especially with [tattoos](tattoo.md), wild hairstyles, clothes that serves other purpose than pure protection from weather, for example a **[suit](suit.md)** etc.
+- **Putting one's name in (or near) the title of his creation**: one of the most famous examples being the *Shit Faggot's Game Of Civilization*. Yes, [Linux](linux.md) counts too; even though [Linus](torwalds.md) didn't name it himself, he just waited for someone else to do it for him and then didn't protest; he also joked about it, trying to make it look OK, though without success (see below).
+- **Egoism masked as [joking](jokes.md)**, i.e. doing something egoistic and then pretending to do it for the sake of a joke; for example in the book *World of Warcraft Diary* the author *X* puts a huge quote of himself on one page and jokingly writes under it *"X quoting X in his own book"* -- hahaha we laughed ok? It's not egoism, it's done for a joke, BTW the quote will stay there. The author here thinks he is smart as he think this achieves two things: promoting himself while also making him look like someone with a sense of humor. In fact it just makes him look like the most egocentric bastard.
+- **[Assertiveness](assertiveness.md)**, also saying shit like "to love others you first have to love yourself" etc., honestly I don't know who comes up with such crap lol.
+- **Being a [capitalist](capitalism.md)**; by definition a capitalist only cares about himself, capitalist is incapable of love or wanting any benefit for anyone else than himself, he only benefits others if he sees it will somehow lead to his own benefit in the future (this applies even to for example to caring about his own family etc.).

[Unix philosophy](unix_philosophy.md) also advises to only use text I/O if possible, so as to "standardize" and tame I/O a bit, but then again one has to choose what communication [protocol](protocol.md)/format to use etc. So generally I/O is a problem we have to deal with.

-How to solve this? By separating I/O code from the "pure computation" code, and by minimizing and [abstracting](abstraction.md) the I/O code so that it is easily replaceable. Inexperienced programmers often make the mistake of mixing the pure computation code with I/O code -- it is then very difficult to replace such I/O code with different I/O code on a different platform. See [portability](portability.md) for more detail.
+This is because **I/O is inevitably messy**: an abstract, portable I/O library really tries to do the impossible task of unifying all wildly differing physical computers and their architectures under some simple functions; for example consider an I/O library will offer a function such as `drawPixel(x,y,color)` that draws a pixel to the screen -- how do we make this work for all computers? What value is *color* here, is it RGB, a color index, HDR value? What if a computer doesn't allow writing to arbitrary parts of screen coordinates because it lack a frame buffer, or what if such operation is painfully slow there (some computers may just want to write pixels sequentially in possibly varying orders we can't predict)? WHAT IF the computer doesn't even have a raster screen but instead has a [vector](vector.md) screen? Even such things as files residing in a tree of directories are something that's highly established but not necessarily the only way a computer may work, some computers may for example support files but not directories, how does our library take this into account? How do we deal with file names with very weird characters, what if someone makes a file system where file names are actually [rich text](rich_text.md) or where files aren't places in directories but are rather points in [3D](3d.md) space or something? So an I/O library has to inevitably make many assumptions about what a "normal" computer looks like and what will likely help it operate fast etc. It has to decide how to deal with unsupported things, for example if we try to display color on a black and white display will it cause an error or will we try to somehow approximate the color just with shades of gray? And of course with new I/O devices appearing (VR, brain interfaces, ...) the library will have to be constantly [updated](update_culture.md). So the I/O part of the program will usually require some platform specific [library](library.md) or a library with many [dependencies](dependency.md); for example to display pictures on screen one may use [SDL](sdl.md), [OpenGL](opengl.md), Linux framebuffer, CSFML, [X11](x11.md), [Wayland](wayland.md) and many other libraries, each one handling I/O a bit differently. Whatever library you choose, it may be unavailable on some other platform, so the program won't run there. Some hardware platforms (e.g. many game consoles) even have their own exclusive I/O library, use of which will just tie the program to that single platform.

See [portability](portability.md) for more detail. Also if you don't have to, **avoid I/O altogether**, especially if your project is a library -- for example if you're writing a 3D rendering library, you do NOT actually need any I/O, your library will simply be computing which pixels to draw and what color they should have, the library doesn't actually have to write those pixels to any screen, this may be left to the user of the library (this is exactly how [small3dlib](small3dlib.md) works).

Smol Internet usually refers to [gopher](gopher.md) and [gemini](gemini.md), the alternative protocols to [HTTP](http.md), the basis of the Web. Smol Web on the other hand stands for simple, plain [HTML](html.md) web 1.0 static personal/community sites on the Web itself which are however hosted independently, often on one's own server (self hosted) -- such sites can be searched e.g. with the [wiby](wiby.md) search engine. It may also include small communities such as [pubnixes](pubnix.md) like [SDF](sdf.md) and [tildeverse](tildeverse.md). Other KISS communication technology such as [email](email.md) and [IRC](irc.md) may also fall under Smol Internet.

 # Update Culture
 
-Update culture is a malicious mindset emerging in a [capitalist](capitalism.md) society which in technology manifests by developers of a (typically [bloated](bloat.md)) program creating frequent modifications called "updates" and forcing users to keep [consuming](consumerism.md) them, e.g. by deprecating or neglecting old versions, dropping [backwards compatibility](backwards_compatibility.md) (e.g. [Python](python.md)) or by downright forcing updates in code. This often manifests by a familiar pop-up message:

 USA is very similar to [North Korea](north_korea.md): in both countries the people are successfully led to believe their country is the best and have strong propaganda based on [cults of personality](cult_of_personality.md), which to outsiders seem very ridiculous but which is nevertheless very effective: for example North Korea officially proclaims their supreme leader Kim Jong-il was born atop a sacred mountain and a new star came to existence on the day of his birth, while Americans on the other hand believe one of their retarded leaders named George Washington was a divine god who was PHYSICALLY UNABLE TO TELL A LIE, which was actually taught at their schools. North Korea is ruled by a single political party, US is ruled by two practically same militant capitalist imperialist parties (democrats and republicans), i.e. de-facto one party as well. Both countries are obsessed with weapons (especially nuclear ones) and their military, both are highly and openly [fascist](fascism.md) (nationalist). Both countries are full of extreme [propaganda](propaganda.md), [censorship](censorship.md) and [hero culture](hero_culture.md), people worship dictators such as Kim Jong-un or [Steve Jobs](steve_jobs.md). US is even worse than North Korea because it exports its toxic [culture](culture.md) all over the whole world and constantly invades other countries, it is destroying all other cultures and leads the whole world to doom and destruction of all life, while North Korea basically only destroys itself.

+# Uxn
+
+{ WIP, researching this etcetc. ~drummyfish }
+
+Uxn is a [minimalist](minimalism.md) [self hosted](self_hosting.md) [stack](stack.md)-based [virtual machine](virtual_machine.md) 8bit/16bit [computer](computer.md) aiming for great [simplicity](simplicity.md) and [portability](portability.md). It is quite nice and impressive, having its own [instruction set](isa.md), [assembly](assembly.md) language, many implementations and many programs written for it already (e.g. [Left](left.md) text editor, Noodle drawing tool etc.); it was made by the author of [xxiivv](xxiivv.md) wiki (some weird [narcissist](egoism.md) self proclaimed artist that's sailing the seas or something). From the minimalist point of view uxn really seems to be going in the right direction, it is inspired by old computers such as [NES](nes.md) and [C64](c64.md), practicing real minimalism (not just [pseudominimalism](pseudominimalism.md) or just "lightweight minimalism") -- that's pretty awesome -- however its presentation is shit and while there are many [free as in freedom](free_software.md) implementations of uxn, official supplemental material to uxn (on the [xxiivv](xxiivv.md) wiki), such as its specification, is **[proprietary](proprietary.md)** ([NC](nc.md)) and therefore should be avoided and boycotted.
+
+Uxn can be compared to some of [our](lrs.md) projects, for example [SAF](saf.md), but mainly [comun](comun.md) -- the goals of uxn and comun may be seen as significantly overlapping, aiming to create a minimalist, completely independent from-ground-up computing "stack", an extremely portable platform for minimalist programs, and they do so in a similar way (both are e.g. stack based, inspired by [Forth](forth.md)). To quickly compare uxn and comun: comun is more of a pure programming [language](language.md) focusing only on expressing algorithms without talking about [I/O](io.md) or instruction sets, uxn on the other hand really is a [computer](computer.md) (even if initially only virtual), one that comes with its own instruction set, language and protocols for communication with peripheral devices, though the computer is purposefully made so that it can be implemented as a virtual machine running on other computers. Comun is trying to stay more abstract, hardware independent and be more close to [math](math.md) (e.g. by its syntax), it doesn't assume any native integer size or memory size, it doesn't use any English keywords, it aims to be usable natively (as a compiled language) on many different platforms, assuming as little as possible about them -- it is trying to be a "better, simple [C](c.md)". Uxn is more of a "new NES", an idealization and improvement of old computers, it has a hardcoded amount of memory, specified integer size (8 or 16 bit), uses assembly with English mnemonics just like the old computers etc.

+## Details
+
+{ **Start rant**: the description of everything by 100rabbits is **so fucking hard and painful as fuck to understand** -- not because the described technology itself would be complicated but the writing is just really REALLY bad, it's hard to say exactly what it is but he just seems to be trying to write poetry in technical specifications, that's just extremely fucked up. There are tables where meaning of rows and columns is left to be guessed, hyperlinks of important terms lead to shitass long articles about something completely else, he invents 10 different fancy sounding words he uses interchangeably without ever explaining their meaning in a non-cryptic way. It's also fucking infuriating there are some **fucking shitty childish drawings randomly inserted into opcode specification** along with some random hand gesture signals for the opcodes and what the fuck. It's like he's abusing the specification to force feed you his ugly drawings which he probably thinks look good while also trying to teach you what sounds animals make as if it's fucking kindergarden. Fuck this shit, I now have to read through it and make sense of it so you don't have to. I'll prolly rather read some 3rd party tutorial lol. ~drummyfish }
+
+Here is a kind of concise sum up of uxn "ecosystem"/terminology/specs/etc.:
+
+- **uxn** (also *uxn CPU*): The [virtual machine](virtual_machine.md), "computing backend", something that runs uxn binary *rom*s.
+  - so called *one page computer* (can implement itself in at most 500 lines of own assembly)
+  - has **2 circular [stacks](stack.md)**: working stack and return stack, each one has size of 256 bytes.
+  - **memory**: total size 64 kb, memory map is following:
+    - 16 varvara devices, each one taking 16 bytes.
+    - address 256: start of program instructions.
+  - **instructions**: Each one takes 8 bits. Every value is a valid instruction. Instruction format is following:
+    - lowest 5 bits: instruction [opcode](opcode.md) (i.e. there are 32 instructions in total)
+    - following bit (*2*): if set, instruction works with 16 bit shorts (otherwise it works with 8 bit bytes).
+    - following bit (*k*): if set, instruction will not pop any operands.
+    - following bit (*r*): if set, instruction operates on the return stack (otherwise it operates on working stack).
+- **uxntal** (also just *tal*): [Assembly](assembly.md) language, i.e. human readable language that compiles to a binary *rom*, with more or less one-to-one mapping between machine code instructions and the language mnemonics. Tal is what uxn program are written in; the tal files have `.tal` extension. A quick sum up of the language follows:
+  - Comments are in parentheses, as `( comment )`.
+  - Mnemonics such as `ADD`, `EQU`, `POP` etc. are used.
+  - [Postfix notation](postfix_notation.md).
+  - "Runes" are used as directives and syntax sugar, for example `|` says where in memory to store the instruction, `@something` creates a jump label etc.
+  - [Macros](macro.md) (inlined instructions) are supported.
+- **[rom](rom.md)**: Compiled binary executable that can be directly run by an *uxn CPU*. The rom files have `.rom` extension.
+- **varvara**: A device, "frontend", peripheral that's connected to *uxn CPU* to perform [input/output](io.md), for example a screen, keyboard or terminal.
