Window Maker Live is the most beautiful Linux distro I have ever seen!

if you're familiar with the NeXTSTEP GUI you'll immediately feel at home. the distro is based on Debian 12.8 “bookworm”. ISO download:

Opening Discord almost bricked my phone.

I should take this as a sign.

I wrote this while in a psychotic episode and it's still my favorite thing I've ever written about user interface

To find a break in the chain, one has to look towards technology that challenges the semiotic structures that force activity back into labor, production and consumption within capitalism. As a demonstration, TempleOS, an esoteric operating system made by the late Terry Davis, a paranoid-schizophrenic electronics engineer, is a software ecosystem developed as a temple for God, complete with its own kernel and programming language. While the operating system is frequently mocked for its limitations, it still captures the interest of curious bystanders. A mysterious machine - built from the ground up to preserve the sanctity of God, free of corporate or open source produced code or dependencies - emerged, replicated itself through the internet as a viral oddity - the story of a madman making an operating system, of all things, as a temple to God, produced a sensationalist story, easy to consume through the media lines like Linus Tech Tips. Initially mocked and criticized for his uncontrollable behavior and bizarre outbursts, with the privacy of his life meticulously documented by malicious trolls, this behavior shifted to a more neutral interest after reports of his death and the stories of the abuse he suffered emerged. Many have returned back through the operating system to appreciate them as a unique creation - beyond just the need to be put back to work in a cubicle. Criticism of the operating system coalesced around its lack of usefulness - its ability to be exploited by capital, its inability to be rewritten into submissive codes of coerced manipulative obedience - but interest still continues to this day.

What Terry demonstrated to us was not just the existence of a temple to God in a computer - but that all user interfaces are temples. A temple is a place of worship, where one’s behavior is directed in such a way to be possessed by an idea - a god, a spirit, a force. In this context, we interact with a temple that is replicated through mass produced machines, that tell us not through divine revelation to build software in HolyC, but rather to obey the embedded social structures perpetuated by popular user interface design principles, built to increase productivity and attentiveness. The temples we interact with every day are to worship a godless capitalist machine! No wonder Terry wanted to make an operating system to move us closer to God! TempleOS is not merely the reminants of a tragic story, nor a toy Commodore 64 with unusual and interesting features, but a potentiality of what is possible on a machine. It serves as a reminder that the machine does not come from the design language, like Windows and Linux have tried to fool us - but the language emerges from the machine - and not just the machine of the mass produced x86 or x64 processors - but the interaction between you, the user, and the interface replicated by the silicon.

Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog is a seriously cool visual novel love-letter to retro anime and 80s Sci-Fi

I don't play many visual novels, but I might have to break that habit again soon with Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog because it looks and feels like playing through a classic Gundam Anime story.

tearing up torn apart
tearing down teardrops
just a few of these drops
ready to be washed away
along with the cause
and the memories
the laws, the theories
until they spring forth yet again
from this aquifer of a face
too weak to hold back
newly born sobs
flooding
of this red face crying
