dhh reports the Omarchy screensaver engine ttfx assembler port is now up to 22x faster at peak and 6x on mean versus the Rust version, and up to 450x faster than the original Python implementation, with SSE2, AVX2, and AVX-512 support and a fallback to the slower Rust implementation otherwise.
dhh says "Thrilled to welcome @SpaceXAI as a Founding Corporate Patron for the Omacom Foundation. That's $1,500,000 in @grok tokens for the maintenance and development of Omarchy. Maybe soon they'll be beamed straight from orbit? Let's go 🚀🌕", linking the announcement in Omarchy news.
mewset says when they updated to Omarchy 4 it wiped their custom screensaver, which had "m0s" sitting above OMARCHY in the "same-isch block font". Opus 5.5 checked for an old snapshot first and found nothing, so it studied the OMARCHY letters, worked out the font, and redrew m0s in the same style: "I didn't tell it to, it just did it on its own." They add "Honestly better than the one i made myself."; the still is glowing teal block-pixel lettering, the redrawn m0s above "OMARCHY", on a near-black background.
gh_TechLuddite says work has kept them busy, with agents churning away on their core projects and big updates on opinionated-omarchy and Jeff coming soon, and thought this update on the ascii-save workshop project was worth sharing: 32 Hokusai and Hiroshige woodblock prints as a color ASCII screensaver for Omarchy, MIT licensed, with PRs welcome, linking TechLuddite/ascii-save, and thanks artinstitutechi for the CC0 prints from its open-access collection; the still is a black frame with a rough yellow ring of block characters, two small red "o" characters, and one pale "o".
