I made a graphical IRC client that runs in UEFI

Well this is hilarious. I absolutely love it when people do stuff like this just for shits and giggles

Such a huge amount of work for a "joke", even the write-up contains rotatable 3D diagrams. Lots of interesting stuff in there - I wasn't planning on reading it all but there was nothing I wanted to skip.

Oh yeah the scroll box diagrams were great. This "joke" got me interested in the OS itself, it seems like a really fun project.

Right? Such a good vibe.
