John Ripleyjripley@mastodon.socialOct 8, 2026, 9:15 PM@joe TFW all you want to do is allocate a frame buffer, set a hardware register to its physical address, and copy text into it. But the "proper way" to do it involves multiple gigabytes of package dependencies.

@joe probably about as easy to implement as to find someone else's previous work, amiright?

Caracararemixed@mastodon.socialOct 8, 2026, 9:24 PM@joe /dev/draw and rio seemed like an ok idea. libdraw is a little barebones but it fits in my head.
