  1. @Debby Eble Haiku-OS? Ĝi estas tre malgranda kaj bezonas malpli da resursoj, sed sufiĉe moderna kaj kapabla. Kaj la apogo de Esperanto estas tre bona.

  2. I'm genuinely impressed by Haiku. I used to love BeOS, back in the day, which I got to experience around R5. They upped their compat game a lot since I last looked.

    Aside from how ludicrously tight, fast, responsive and minimally efficient it still is, what kind of shocks me is how the icons, window decorations, buttons, dialogs and UX in general still looks really slick by today's standards. It does not really feel any sort of retro, in the slightest, which is an odd feeling.

  3. Is @haiku development self hosted? Like, could I hack on the kernel without needing to do any building on a Linux host? 🤔 #HaikuOS

  4. An AI refuser register writer did a review of Haiku. They conclude with:

    "We like to imagine a world of Haiku clients, talking to NetBSD back-end servers, and nothing but feature-phones – maybe running a revived Symbian. No AI, no Electron apps anywhere. A sky as clear and blue as the Haiku desktop, with no trace of a Cloud to be seen. That sounds idyllic to us. If it does to you as well, we think you might enjoy trying Haiku."

    They did point out a weakness to Haiku in that it doesn't have user management, so the user is always the administrator.

  5. Is it just me (perhaps my torrent client is too elderly or sumfink?) or are the files for beta 6 broken?

    A web browser is probably the single most important program for me, so knowing that #Firefox, #Waterfox and #Librewolf run on #HaikuOS is a big step forward in its... "daily-driver-ability" for me

  11. Auch heute Abend habe ich mich mit der neuen Version von #HaikuOS auseinander gesetzt.
    Es durfte aus der virtuellen Maschine ausbrechen und auf einem echten Klassiker sesshaft werden. Ein 2-Kern Notebook mit SSD und 4GB Ram wurde von seinem #Windows10 befreit. #Firefox und #Simutrans sind bereits installiert. Das gute Stück, von circa 2009, ist betagt aber mit dem schmalen Unterbau (~300mb Ram nach Start) nutzbar. #WLAN funktionierte, einfach so. Einen #Mastodon Client, #Tokodon, gibt es direkt im Repo.
    Wer weiß, vielleicht mache ich mir eine schicke Schreibmaschine daraus 😄

    I assumed #Firefox mods like #Waterfox weren't available yet for #HaikuOS, good to find out at least WF is!
