Not using words such as "basically" and "essentially" or "simple" and "only" is a constant struggle.

Love it! Great work.

I cut my professional teeth designing these sort of bit twiddling optimizations.

Whether you are running on a 16-bit, 32-bit processor, or on a 64-bit pocket super computer—sometimes every bit and ever cycle matters.

I will soon have witnessed both the beginning and the end of the Information Age in my adult life.

@tommorris It is perfect for firehosing.

Massively produced plausible non-truth can easily overwhelm a recipient. Kind of a DDOS for knowledge.

@tommorris You’re brave! As soon as I discovered this AI of unknown morality wanted my phone number to register I decided not to bother. 😳

@swrogers Actually, the newest release of #Emacs has #HaikuOS support!

The might be a reason to try out this amazing OS again.

A man walks into his local library.

Man to the librarian: "Do you have a book about Pavlov's Dogs and Schrodinger's Cat?

Librarian: "Ah now that rings a bell, but I'm not sure if it is there or not"

Out of nowhere, my nephew just asked, “Do you think Pavlov thought about feeding his dog every time he heard a bell ring?” and now I’m going to be haunted by this question.

#Tusky 20 is now on F-Droid!

@jon @Vivaldi Started at work. At least colleages in my office room and half the people on my floor use it. Feature ranking:
a) allow pop-ups to be opened as a tab (crm system opens popup windows for every click you do)
b) stacks with duo-lines
c) tab tiling
d) vertical tabs
e) tab scrolling

one of my colleages got angry last week "when it is so easy to build a browser like that, why do all the others not have all these features"

thanks a lot for all this! and for making it look so easy

Everything gets pentested. If you're lucky, the people who do so will tell you about it

I have to run more cabling around my house so server fun is on the backburner for now.
So... I decided to play around with #haikuos on a VM.
Holy shit has it advanced. I could even see myself using it as a bare-metal desktop OS!
The last time I used it was during the release of beta1, and it was OK although audio didn't work at all so I blasted it. But even just trying beta3 (a year old already!) the difference is astounding.
I can't wait for beta4 (which is supposed to come in like... a day or so) to see even more progress.

@jonn it is in fact precisely because its an apache killer. Loic even uses that phrasing describing his early involvement here: https://ninenines.eu/articles/the-story-so-far/
