It depends on your goals. Python is easy and good for automation scripts. Lua is also easy and used in games like Garry's
Mod and Roblox. JavaScript is the language of web browsers and practically essential knowledge for web developers. Go is a bit more low-level, but it's a simple language with a great standard library. C is difficult (though easier than you might think) but learning it is very valuable.

they don't even know what is Linux.
the closest thing to it would be that pony's custom boot disk embedding a disk manager and other tools that makes it a whole operating system instead of having the computer to boot directly on the program.

TSCM - time-shared computing management, a text based OS that's used in mainframes. close to UNIX.

Interface Manager, previously Disk Manager but now with a GUI is more for regular users. sup

COGIT, like collaborative organization general information technologies or something is omnipresent in administration, finance etc. it comes with a database, spreadsheet and its own programming language, assume it's close to IBM systems.

If I assume the length represented there, that disc contains several terabytes of data alone engraved, if you give it CRC, checksum, as it may symbolize and no compression it's simple and will resist.

I'm glad to know that people enjoy my work when it actually gets finished since it's not worth doing otherwise. You make the time and effort worthwhile. Thank you again.
That said, I really need to speed up.

You know the funny thing, being ponies, they'd assume magic is universal, and as that's the most advanced field by light-years for them, they'd probably put those down with instructions instead of atoms, wave lengths being arcana lengths, etc.

Perhaps one day we'll realize that druids, sorcerers, and witches were far more advanced than we gave them credit for; despite our own scientific progress and technological achievements.
Whereas we pursued science and technology, Equestria developed magic and witchcraft to extraordinary levels. That's what they had. From the very beginning, their path diverged from ours. The first unicorns may have been born from a genetic mutation, an early horse developing a horn that could channel natural energy. Others adapted differently: some grew wings to survive in highlands or mountain ranges, others developed fins to thrive in aquatic environments, much like dolphins or seals.
In a way, ponies are like sharks: evolutionary apexes so perfectly suited to their world that little physical change was needed over time. Unicorns, in particular, evolved to form dense networks of neural pathways around their horns, allowing them to manipulate electromagnetic fields, gravitational resonance, or even spacetime curvature—without ever needing to understand these forces in the scientific terms we use.
They don't need to understand Maxwell's equations to shape light, nor Planck's constants to teleport. Just as early humans didn't need Newton to know that apples fall, unicorns used intuition, instinct, and trial over centuries, possibly millennia to master what they call "magic."
It wasn't until unicorn scholars like Starswirl the Bearded began recording, systematizing, and teaching magic that their civilization started resembling what we'd consider scientific. In some ways, Starswirl was their Einstein, bridging intuition and theory, turning practice into understanding.
In short: they built a civilization from mysticism upward. We built ours from observation down. Both roads led to something remarkable but we would have much to discover from ponies than they would have to discover from us.
Except for that rich filly, who believes a GPU that costs a few thousand dollars can have any form of value, in Equestria.

“None of that happened.”

>”Does it matter? Even if you get rid of that, I still lose.”
“’Course it matters! It’s the principle of the thing!”
>”Democracy doesn’t run on principles, Applejack. You should know that by now.”

“I’m still going to fight this.”

>She sniffled, not quite managing to hold back the tears.

>Applejack started patting her on the back, trying to console the broken bureaucrat.
“Ya thought you’d lose?”

>”It was always a lost cause, I just… I wanted at least some of them to remember me fondly. Maybe convince a few of them that I wasn’t so bad after all. If I thought I could win, I’d have voted for myself.”
“Wait just a darn second, y’all didn’t vote for yourself? Then who was the ballot from?”
>”I thought it was you.”
“Mine got rejected. All the Apple votes did. That means somepony else DID vote for you! But who?”

“Not yet it ain’t. I wanted to win the right way, but I ain’t above fighting dirty. See, Twi has a big weakness. She tends to hyperfixate on whatever’s in front of her, and she can’t see the forest for the trees. While it certainly ain’t a sure thing, I reckon you’ve still got a good shot.”

VAGABOND 5: ONLINE
VAGABOND 6: ONLINE

Bucephalus has successfully bootstrapped into total control of the defective Terracom server.
As expected, the entirety of the fault was caused by a simple logic loop, though it still appears as though it were one caused by outside interference rather than a design flaw. All hardware appears to be intact. Interestingly, some residual data exists from previous attempts at interaction. It can now be safely concluded that the Vagabond probes are the first users in over a thousand local years. The prior user appears to have been attempting to debug the system, but was unable to gain sufficient control over the underlying systems.

Server activity confirms that, while the system was interacting with Vagabond 5 in some unknown manner, it was not mimicking Vagabond’s signals. Bucephalus has halted this behavior, and is now only in contact with a single instance of Vagabond 5. This unexpectedly halted the storms that raged around the island, in addition to ending the mysterious darkening effect. Video footage recovered from the remaining Vagabond 5 appears to be heavily corrupted, but some data was recoverable.

The recovered footage depicts the area existing in an apparent state of superposition, wherein Vagabond 5 was in numerous positions at once, and observing from numerous locations at once. There exists footage of it being destroyed, being reformed, emerging from the soil, falling from the heavens, and much more. Furthermore, the internal clock of the remaining Vagabond 5 has advanced by several millennia, and the dramatic wear and tear and radical decrease in voltage coming from its radiovoltaic battery supports this assertion. It appears as though, through some unknown means, Vagabond has aged an incredible amount of time in a short period.

How such a thing is possible remains unknown. While incredibly unlikely, the most probable fault is an incredibly specific series of sensor faults and memory corruptions occurring at once. Less likely hypotheses include deliberately incorrect data being sent to Bucephalus by intelligent actors who have somehow gained deep insight into Bucephalus’ computation architecture without being detected, or a complete breakdown in linear time.

The local Teracom server remains non-operational as the logic loop persists. While halting the subroutines that were causing interference with Vagabond 5 was simple, the underlying issue will take some time to resolve, as the chaotic nature of the central systems render them too volatile to manipulate unless they happen to be executing the right instructions. Bucephalus will wait for an opportunity.

VAGABOND 6: UPLINK ESTABLISHED

The rapidly progressing understanding of the Terracom servers has allowed for further insight into many of the anomalous structures that have been detected. These anomalies have been re-designated as transceivers, as they both send and receive Terracom signals. Though there is yet insufficient data to explain the function of these transceivers, some insight into how they work has been established.

Transceivers are ambulatory masses consisting primarily of polyvinyl chloride and acrylonitrile polymers. There appear to be 6 fundamental designs, though there are countless derivations and deviations from these forms. They send and receive signals through antennae and emitters either perched on their front, on their back, or embedded within. How these systems are powered remains unknown, however, each signal sent and received by these transceivers has been associated with some momentum loss in Teracom servers. It appears that they are somehow broadcasting geothermal energy over great distances, allowing locomotion and more.

The mechanism through which such a feat would be accomplished is completely unknown, however, it could be one of the most important discoveries in human history if it is in fact true. The primitive structure of their computation systems and the inefficiency of their geothermal plants suggest that, were humans capable of wielding this power, they would be capable of feats far greater than anything that has been witnessed here.

>we’ll begin counting immediately and we’re done counting
Umm what? Was there like only 5 votes to count?
>Rob is the winner!
Seems like Mayor was not very popular with her recent actions.
>Her ballot had been discarded.
Heh.
>One for the mayor, four-hundred and eighty-seven for Rob!
Seems like anyone could have won against Mayor.
>Is he even SAPIENT?
Finally someone asking the real questions.
>You’re technically not a resident.
Aren't the votes anonymous? How do they know which one to invalidate?
>drink filly blood or something like that
Maybe this is how Celestia and Luna became immortal!
>None of that happened
This whole universe seems silly.
>She probably don’t wanna see you
Or anyone else but AJ probably. Maybe not even her, or not even herself in the mirror.
>Ivory Scroll
Damn, it's been 10+ years since I have read Past Sins. I don't remember much from it any more.
>I got ONE vote
Was it from herself?
>I’d have voted for myself
It was not?! Then it must be from Twilight.
>But who?
Does it matter btw?
>Well, mystery solved
I wonder if who she wanted to actually vote for.
>We’ve got a guest room.
She is not homeless. Probably.
>How could I be your best friend?
In the sad way.
>What happens on Monday?
The new Mayors speech/oath? Neither which the robot can do.
>advanced by several millennia
Is there a black hole hidden on Equestria or something?
>transceivers
Heh.
>6 fundamental designs
Six? Are we counting the ones with the extra horizontal antenna as a separate design?

Thanks for the update!
