    Ah the old esoteric demon languages

    I remember trapping Minecraft villagers in chambers/ tunnels and using their pathfinding to activate pressure plates to activate various redstone contraptions. Same vibe really

    Esperanto is hardly esoteric.

    You act like having bedeviled computing is a bad thing, I'll have you know my old computer has tons of demons operating in the background and I still don't know how it works or what the angels are doing.

    Looks like Circular Gallifreyan writing

    Yes, these are two sentences

    Is this using sitelen mun? I've always wondered what that would look like for more complex sentences.

    Except... sitelen mun doesn't merge circles like that, I think. So is this another way of writing Gallifreyan, or is this from somewhere in Doctor Who?

    I think it is. The connected circles denote words or sentences iirc

    After a closer look at it, I think it might be a different version/some kind of derivative of sitelen mun. Some parts don't make sense, in particular the tiny circle crossing the small circle, for example here

    However, it does contain the (more or less) correct syntax for names (multiple different ones). For example here

    which I think reads "jan Loulou" or "jan Luoluo".

    So I think its close enough to sitelen mun to be based on it, but its definetly something different.

    This is a single-layer PCB, neither microscopic nor semiconducting. Rather impressive routing but chip design is at a whole new level that doesn't fit in this little JPEG

    Perhaps that's why they used this for the meme 🤔

    It's possible to show multiple zoom levels with a "crop window" (even recursively for many orders of magnitude) but it takes effort in image editing

    Meanwhile, printers have been inhabited, programmed, and manufactured by Satan since their invention.

    So, I mean... I don't see what the issue is. It's not like we're not used to demonic infused computing.

    Amateurs.

    Oh no! I just remembered a chaos demon I trapped in a Gateway PC from 1998!

    Engineers are wizards, able to animate silicon rocks by enscribing them with language incomprehensible to normal people.

    It works because the symbols are too small for the demon to fit through

    I let my CPU run without the cooling fans when the demons don't do my bidding 💕 So that they feel more at home

    Anyone ever heard of a symbolic Hieronymus Machine?

    I was fascinated by the concept when i was younger, though I've always assumed it was bullshit.
