Do you ever feel like an LLM found the equivalent of your LiveJournal and posted it to a public mailing list?

@dboehmer @mjgardner @m00dy @knut haha, no, I didn't really take a look into that. Funnily enough we recently had a conversation about perl on the #9fans discord server.
Though I wouldn't say 'Nein' to perl on 9 😁

If a bunny were to make tools, they would lack something in sophistication.

I'm doing a survey on plan 9 and touch user interfaces. Any plan 9 user (on any distribution) can participate. https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/T71948c07cc50eb8d-Me06755e6c739e09f5e5285a1/survey-touch-user-interfaces-and-plan-9 #9fans #9front #plan9 #plan9frombelllabs #belllabs

I've long wanted to give [[plan 9]] another try.

CW: 9 beginner angst
@kl mailing lists is only one part. I recommend checking out the 9front mailing list, there are many patches you can read. Read the fqa, and join chat channels from time to time. There's a 9fans discord as well as various irc channels on freenode (##9fans, ##9fans#9, #cat-v, #plan9). If you have 9p available there's 9pzone gridchat (see 9p.zone. it's basically a file you can con -C into).
-
Keep in mind that I personally am a 9front user and feel very home on grid, and somewhere between cat-v and #9fans. Therefore my content will be biased, but I'm happy to boost and publish your 9-related content! 🙂

Many interesting programs are not implemented in C, but the scripting language rc. This shows that the filesystem abstraction (everything really IS a file) is indeed very powerful.

Why use bloated tools if we can already do everything we want?

CW: plan9
@groovestomp other suggested channels: #cat-v, ##9fans, 9gridchan gridchat, the 9fans discord server (bridged to ##9fans). Also don't forget the mailing lists.

Acme is NOT the standard text editor, but it's still very nice. Having multiple windows makes it better than ed, at least.
Everything is just a click away.

Better than Photoshop^WPaint.

Plan 9 comes with graphical capabilities instead of relying only on the keyboard. It has a clean user interface.

Did you ever want to forget about your data? Cwfs is there for you.
Automatic dumps every night, broken blocks here and there, lots of fun.

#9front is very modern. You can even generate QR codes without searching for generators.
And you can have fun if you don't have the right fonts ☺.
