XXIIVV
{ Still researching this shit etc. ~drummyfish }
XXIIVV is a proprietary soynet snob website and personal wiki (in its concept similar to our wiki) of a Canadian narcissist minimalist/esoteric programmer/"artist"/generalist David Mondou-Labbe who calls himself "Devine Lu Linvega" (lmao) who is a part of a highly cringe SJW fascist "artist"/programmer group called Hundred Rabbits (100r) who live on a small boat or something. David seems to be a normie feminist/gay fascist (see also snowflake), proclaiming "aggressivity" on his web (under "/ethics.html" on his site). He's also a plan9 fanboy (i.e. a pseudominimalist). The site is accessible at http://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/home.html. There are some quite good and pretty bad things about it.
{ Holy shit his webring is toxic AF, do not research it. Basically a one huge gay nazi wannabe "artist" circlejerk, it's like a small village worth of the kind of furry psychopaths who like to draw cute cartoon animals while also advocating slow torture and castration of people who dislike them. ~drummyfish }
Firstly let's see about the letdowns: the site is proprietary and he licenses his "art" and some of his code under the proprietary CC-BY-NC-SA, big RETARD ALERT. This means he's a capitalist open soars fanboy trying to monopolize art by keeping exclusive "commercial intellectual property rights" (as if his amateur stick figure level "art" had any commercial value lol). At least some of his code is MIT, but he also makes fucking PROPRIETARY PAID software (e.g. Verreciel), then he somehow tries to brainwash the readers to believe he is "against capitalism" or what? :'D (Or is he not? I dunno. Definitely seems to be riding the eco wave.) The guy also seems egoistic as fuck, invents weird hipster names and "personal pronouns", has some ugly "body modifications", wears cringe rabbit costumes and tries to write in a super cringe pompous/cryptic/poetic tryhard style probably in an attempt to appear smart while just making a fool of himself and, in addition, making it shithard to make any sense of his texts -- truly his tech writings are literal torture to read. The only thing he's missing is a fedora.
There are also nice things though, a few of them being:
- The guy is creating extremely minimalist, small from-scratch technology that's worthy of attention. Some of it includes:
- uxn: Simple (~100 LOC of C) virtual machine, similar to a "fantasy console" but intended more for portability. This also comes with an assembly language called tal.
- lietal: Simple artificial language.
- The wiki writes on pretty interesting topics, many of which overlap with our topics of interest. For example pen and paper computing that includes games.
- Some of the presented opinions and wisdoms are based, e.g. "for writing fast programs use slow computers" etc.
