we've all heard about cyberpunk and cipherpunk, but here's something new:

textpunk.

That's right. Textpunk

Newspaper articles, BBSs (like this one), IRC, ASCII art, Kopipe, program source code, Novels, View HTML source, Google search engine, Mathematics, Hieroglyphics, The Rosetta Stone, Gutenberg Bible...

A textpunk doesn't sit there waiting for information to be slowly fed to him drip at a time by the gogglebox. A textpunk is thirsty for knowledge and 100% focused - they read old school hacker textfile zines. They don't waste their time with lame imageboarders: instead they're doing crazy abstract shitposting on /prog/ with thoughts and concepts twisted up so with many levels of irony that it becomes an art form.

Textpunks recognize and understand the true power of kopipe - how a well crafted piece of text can be so damn powerful that it alone can trigger thousands of replies with so much veracity within days. They see through things down into the core of what really counts, everything in the computer is built of text, ascii, strings of bits - They don't care about the latest 3D GUI environment fads. No, that's just a distraction. 7-bit clean ascii program source code. That's textpunk.

Look at how text has shaped humanity: The birth of writing systems was correlated with some of fastest advances of science and technology in early human history. Mass production of the Bible took power away from a few select monks and democratized paving the way for people to start thinking for themselves. Programming is text and it's the closest thing there is in the world to true wizardy and spell casting. Talking about real SICP-type programming here, not that modern garbage.

Today textpunks build up digital libraries of books and stick it to the copyright cartel. Schwarz, lib gen, the gentoomen library, and so many anonymous sources that tireless scan and collect books.. Textpunks are the people in tune with modern digital society of ultrafast cost-free transmission of text, they're the ones rethinking and revolutionizing publishing mixing it with open rights and making works available online.

For some reason I was just reminded of the tag pages on sites like hackerslab and smashthestack.
You complete the hacking challenges and then get to leave a signature in an html file for that level: http://io.smashthestack.org:84/tags/level10.html
Don't visit the earlier levels pages they crammed full of scripts and stuff that'll probably freeze your browser for a while

You misunderstand the reason for ASCIIpunk:

Computers have gotten considerably more powerful, but they are being bottlenecked by the software that is running on them, it is bloated, horrible, interpreted languages and hugely extravegant GUIs are used for simple programs, weighing them down. ASCIIpunk is not a lust for the past, it is the trimming of needless fat from software in order that software that actually needs to be demanding (rendering, compiling etc) has as many system resources avalible to it. We are the rebellion against the culture of NodeJS, Microsoft and other such retardation.

How many do you reckon come here daily? 20?

Sorry, I don't know. I'm just a new user that came here because of /qa/. I think this place needs a bit more of publicity, since it's really nice and not a shitposting blogzone like other /jp/ spinoffs.

>>15
I'm a /qa/fag, too.
We just need to get a few of the higher-quality posters from /g/, but need to avoid getting the low-quality posters.
Same for our /lit/ and /sci/, then we could easily get some /f/ if one of us made a nice advertising flash for us, and our /jp/ posters will fill out /a/, /ma/, and probably /v/, too.
I just want to get /all/ to the speed of one of 4chan middle-speed boards, like, say, /tg/.

We're all /qa/fags other than taba-tan, and I think there's around 15-20 average users now, it grew quite a bit in the last week.

I think that the idea is okay, just a little stale. The OP could have added something creative or informative to it rather than just leaving it like an as is copypasta

Must we make more TUI software?

27 guest@cc 1969-12-31T17:00:00

If curses is worth the CPU time and memory usage for the user.
Remember CLI and TUI are distinct.

we've all heard about cyberpunk and textpunk, but here's something new:

buttpunk.

That's right. Buttpunk

Ass, Booty, Bottom, Bum, Anus, Doodoo...

A buttpunk doesn't sit there waiting for ass to be slowly fed to him drip at a time by the buttbox. A buttpunk is thirsty for ass and 100% focused - they read old school butt zines and pornos. They don't waste their time with lame buttboarders: instead they're doing crazy abstract shiteating on /ass/ with thoughts and concepts twisted up so with many levels of anus that it becomes an shitform.

Buttpunks recognize and understand the true power of shitpipe - how a well crafted piece of ass can be so damn powerful that it alone can trigger thousands of replies with so much veracity within days. They see through things down into the core of what really counts, everything in the human is built of butt - They don't care about the latest 3D anus fads. No, that's just a distraction. Shiny clean butt generator program. That's buttpunk.

Look at how butts have shaped humanity: The birth of agriculture was correlated with some of fastest advances of booty and thighs in early human history. Mass production of pornography took power away from a few select buttlords and democratized the anus paving the way for people to start thinking about butts for themselves. Pooping is butt and it's the closest thing there is in the world to true wizardy and spell casting. Talking about real DOODOO-type pooping here, not that modern garbage.

Today buttpunks build up digital libraries of ass images and stick it to the booty cartel. Round and brown, 40oz Bounce, PAWG galaxy, and so many anonymous sources that tireless scan and collect ass.. Buttpunks are the people in tune with modern digital society of ultrafast cost-free transmission of ass, they're the ones rethinking and revolutionizing publishing mixing it with anuses and making butts available online.
