SICK ASS CHARACTER SHEET OF MY SONA BY @Mintburrow@wetdry.world (@mintburrow.bsky.social) ‼‼️‼‼️‼‼️

(go commission him please he's cool)

A collection of cartoon-style drawings of an anthropomorphic orange cat-like creature with light blue screen eyes, a set of two LEDs on one of the ears (one green and one red), a golden collar with a red and white checkered ball attached, and a translucent, similarly colored part at the end of the tail. There are shots of it facing the viewer with a happy expression, facing away with its back towards the viewer revealing a discrete panel, facing close-up with its blue tongue out, and being patted by a disembodied hand while smiling with its eye displays depicting a pair of closed eyes.

since the "cat's" out of the bag lemme talk about it a little

it's a synthetic/robotic cat thing, those are a couple of status leds on the ear and the "eyes" are actually screens (if you look closely you might see a blueish tint/scanlines)

unseen in the pfp are a small logo print somewhere on the back (probably, design not yet finalized) and a tail with a cap at the end that opens up to reveal a 7-pin DIN port for charging and data transfer

the current "lore" i've come up with is that it was found abandoned in some old lab or complex and refurbished by some hackers, it's powered by a bespoke (possibly?) MIPS CPU and can make noises/speak using a MOS 6581 SID

i have not yet decided on a name

i'm willing to learn from my mistakes

screw C, screw rust, we're writing WAT from now on

A screenshot of the file "src/js/wasm/hntrie.wat" in the uBlock Origin source tree. It is written in WAT, the WebAssembly Text Format, which is the closest you can get to actual assembly programming with WebAssembly.

oh my god i did not expect the webassembly parts of ublock origin to be written using actual, honest-to-god Web Assembly™™

the internet itself is inherently decentralized, the problem is that the ecosystem has largely centralized over time to a few big players

not only does this not address that in any way, it introduces more problems by introducing a blockchain-style governance system vulnerable to 51% attacks
