Well, fuck @blendernation to be the latest company to take techno-feudalist ai nazi-dollars i guess.

I suppose now is as good a time as any to throw all modern computers away and fire up the octane; revert back to 2.49 on #irix

Gotto put that v12 card to use somehow.

@jns
So I have ignored them since they incorporated. But on this topic, Irix episode of the lispy gopher climate soon?
@ blendernation@mastodon.online

@screwlisp I'm up for it still!

@jns

@rwxrwxrwx are you available on Tuesday-evenings-in-the-Americas for something like an Irix (SGI, MPI I guess) ecosystem discussion?

Er, who else do I need to tag here. Is anyone actually in contact with sdf's DJ Polybius http://archives.anonradio.net/#liquiddreamz ? Who else do I even know who worked with Irixes. @praetor ?

#irix #sgi #mpi if I got my off-the-cuff #computing #history wrong please do correct me forthwith! #graphicsProcessing #lispyGopherClimate

FWIW, I've mostly retracted from the #irix communit(y/ies) since nekoware went under, and haven't done that much in that area of late. But there's some folks active on the fediverse that do things a lot more interesting than anything I've done :) @flexion comes to mind.

@jns @screwlisp @rwxrwxrwx @flexion flexion….do I know them? Either way porting old games to IRIX is amazeballs. Especially on an O300 cluster.

@jns @blendernation However it seems they're already using Claude to write stuff. Ugh.
