What it feels like when your computer crashes and you haven't committed or pushed your code. 😱

#dev #code #DigitalArt #history #AncientEgypt
In the style of ancient Egyptian tomb paintings. At the top a line of sitting judges are flanked by a "Save" icon and a code "Branch" symbol. Below them is a developer represented by a falcon with a human head sitting on a laptop. Below them is a scene from the Egyptian Book of the Dead: Anubis measures an icon of a crashed computer against a CPU RAM symbol. The bird headed Egyptian god of wisdom, Toth, is taking notes while the half crocodile, half lion, half hippo god Ammit looks at the scene, hungrily awaiting the judgement. In the style of ancient Egyptian tomb paintings. At the top a line of wailing women and praying men look on while the developer and his laptop are put in a trashcan icon. The gods Anubis and Osiris watch stoically. Below them is the half croc, half lion, half hippo god Ammit devours an icon depicting a crashed computer. He is surrounded by icons depicting alerts, bugs, and CPU errors all translated into hieroglyphics.

For all of you #VideoGame fans. Do Musk and Trump's tweets sound familiar to you? It's no coincidence that they sound like Andrew Ryan from #Bioshock. He was based directly on their hero Ayn Rand!

#gamer #gamers #history #KnowYourEnemy
"What is the greatest lie ever created? Slavery? The Holocaust? Dictatorship? NO. It's... ALTRUISM." This is a quote from the video game Bioshock. You'd be forgiven if you thought it was from TRUMP or MUSK! There's a reason for that. At the top pictures of video game character Andrew Ryan and author Ayn Ryan are connected by a dotted arrow with a doodle of a heart. Below the pictures the text reads: “The Bioshock villain, Andrew Ryan, was inspired by Ayn Rand - a 20th Century author turned philosopher. Rand developed a philosophy called Objectivism and is often quoted by Conservatives.” Text at the top reads: “Objectivism, summary: Progress only happens when the individual puts their needs and happiness before anyone else’s.” Below are quotes from Ayn Rand’s books. "Money is the barometer of a society's virtue." from Atlas Shrugged. "If workers struggle for higher wages, this is hailed as "social gains', if businessmen struggle for higher profits, this is damned as 'selfish greed." from Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal. "Greed' has been the accusation hurled at the rich by the concrete-bound illiterates who were unable to conceive of the source of wealth or of the motivation of those who produce it." from Capitalism, the Unknown Ideal. At the top are two pictures. The first of Trump, Musk, and JD Vance pasted over Andrew Ryan. The second is of author Ayn Ryan. The two pictures are connected by a dotted arrow with a doodle of a heart. Below the pictures is text that reads “Key Takeaway: They truly believe, whole heartedly: GREED IS GOOD. Their gain is the ONLY thing that matters.”

🧵 I am developing the Resistance Toolkit in an attempt to turn outrage into progress. TL;DR to resist hate: pick a cause, take an action, recover, and repeat. Scan the QR code in the image to check out the project. I will be commenting on this post with the bsky accounts for the orgs featured!
The Resistance Toolkit banner, it reads "The tools you need to resist hate. github.com/mattWillis/resistance-toolkit". The image contains a qr code on the right hand side. This will take you to the GitHub page for the project. To scan it, open your phone's camera, and point it at the right hand side of the image and then follow the phone's prompt to open the link.

"Seattle Sightseeing"

Probably my second ever #GraphicDesign / #collage done in #Photoshop from around 2009.

Graphic design collage. In the foreground there is illustrated man from a 1970's catalog in a leather jacket is holding a camera and three MiG fighter jets swooping up and in from the right. The background is a brown piece of paper with red center rectangle. A black and white image of the Seattle sky line is at the bottom. Ink blots and nondescript handwriting decorate the red rectangle.

Absolutely!
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Accessibility: It's the law. Title 7 Of The Civil Rights Act, Americans With Disabilities Act, Age Discrimination In Employment Act, Equal Pay Act, Pregnancy Discrimination Act, Many More... DEIA initiatives merely ensure government agencies follow the law, not to force "illegal and immoral discrimination programs."

Instructing government agencies to stop all #DEI / #DEIA programs, is basically telling them to ignore long standing laws that are based on the American goal of fairness and equality. It's NOT woke, it's the LAW.

Was organizing a bunch of old files and stumbled across my first iOS script. I hated #HelloWorld tutorials, so I would use this line from #BillAndTed 😅

- If you guys are really us, what number are we thinking of?
- 69!
- Whoa!

#code #programming #humor #embarrassing #80's #movies #software #dev
A screenshot of my first attempt at learning Objective-C. The script contains a function called "mostExcellent" which takes two integers, "youGuys" and "reallyUs". If youGuys equals reallyUs the following is logged: "If you guys are really us, what number are we thinking of?... 69! Whoa!". If the integers don't match, a log prints out "Bogus!" The function "main" sets youGuys and reallyUs to 69 and calls mostExcellent on loading.

Aethelflaed (or Æthelflæd) - Queen, Warrior, and Defender of Mercia. One of my absolute heroes and a total badass. Still a #WIP, I like the concept, but not 100% on the execution yet.

Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
Distill the life that's inside of me
Sit and drink Pennyroyal Tea
I'm anemic royalty
Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld
So I can sigh eternally
