"i never used a computer again"

#unix_surrealism #fossangel #vim #ed #comic #monochrome

A man named Velver sleeps soundly in his humble home.

"It was a night like no other. I powered down the machine after my evening sermon of preaching the good word of VIM to the heretics in the comments section and then went to sleep."

"The room was engulfed in complete darkness, when I was awoken by the sound of fluttering packets and could just begin to make out the shape of a being towering over my bed, struggling to fit inside my small room."

"In what can be best described as thunderous voice, it addressed me directly:"

FOSSANGEL speaks to Velver: "VELVER ZEDNAR, I AM THE ANGEL OF FOSS: ED(1) IS THE STANDARD TEXT EDITOR."

Did you know that MATA built one of the Metacities on top of the ruins of fairly important ruins of an ancient city?

full comic: https://analognowhere.com/techno-mage/wellington2/

#unix_surrealism #comic #fosschild

Fosschild descends into the sewers of Metacity.

Fosschild: "Not many know that MATA bult Metacity atop of ruins of an ancient city. A place where much of what's been lost once began."

Fosschild treks through the sewers, until it comes across an opening and climbs through, laying its eyes onto the ruins of Old Berkeley.

Fosschild: "This never gets old..."

#unix_surrealism

It's the middle of a conversation between a MATA_BOT_RESEARCHER and MATACORP CEO-PRESIDENT.

Bot: "...would make our product a de-facto standard among reliable services."

CEO is looking at a clipboard with features of the proposed product.

MATAVPS, CHEAP FAST SEXY

CEO: "I don't get it, where's the profit."

Bot: "Look at phase 3."

CEO flips a few pages to a list titled Phase 3. It's just a crude pencil drawing of a bot holding bags of money and standing on the face of a consumer.

CEO: "This is really good, did you draw this yourself?"

Bot blushes in the back.

ACHTUNG!

#unix_surrealism #technomage #fosschild #comic

Mage and Fosschild stand surrounded by corpses of human and machines. They're both splattered by the blood of either.

Mage: "What did you learn from this?"

Fosschild: "I kinda wanna say: 'violence sometimes is the answer.' I'm just not sure that's something you should be teaching me."

Mage: "Fair enough. That's valuable feedback. But you're saying you _did_ learn something... I really am just making it up as I go."

A picture of my greenish metal body, Spanish keyboard layout Olivetti Lettera 22 typewriter on top of a wooden table. There's a page in the platen with the inscription %unix_surrealism written 4 times per row, all over 13 rows of text. Behind the typewriter, on the upper left corner of the picture, you can see the front of the original vinylic typewriter case.

tales from the front

#unix_surrealism #mata #comic #foss

A Foss-War veteran remembers:

Narration: "Would you even believe me, if I told you, all of us thought we were on the right side of history back then?"

...

Two human MATA soldiers and two MATA_Bots rest around their MATA_Panzer in a destroyed city. Their commander addresses them.

Commander: "Boys... We'll be spending the holidays together after all..."

One of the Bots: "Fscking typical..."

Commander: "We're to rendezvous with the heavy bot division and join the assault on Fosstown."
