256b intro for Linux

a short story in 256 bytes of code
Intro for Linux/x86. 1920x1080@60FPS


The party version has double buffering and a real
timer to limit FPS to 60, and the header is *not*
counted towards the size, in accordance with the
Outline party rules.
The small version has no double buffering, and a
sleep for 16ms limits the frames to a *max* of 60
fps. Header/data/code are heavily intertwined.
You need a faster machine than my 10yo laptop to
run it halfway smoothly. It fits in 256b, though.


Needs framebuffer permissions for the current user.
Add them with "sudo usermod -a -G video $(whoami)".
Then switch to the console with Ctrl-Alt-F2, log in,
and run it.
Exit the standard unix way with Ctrl-C.


Greetings:
This intro is dedicated to Koe.
Without you, all of this wouldn't have been possible.
