Kris Dreemurr (they/them) of the Pnictogen Wing<p><a href="https://meow.social/tags/HaikuOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HaikuOS</span></a> is just about usable daily on an old laptop or similar and thus I may simply start doing that now, trusting to the immersion method to get my familiarity back. And I have written English <a href="https://meow.social/tags/haiku" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>haiku</span></a> sometimes so I have that on my side. Hm. I wonder if a chemical connection could be teased out there, with 5 7 5 as a motif. One dimly imagines 5- and 7-member rings as ligands or something.</p>
Kris Dreemurr (they/them) of the Pnictogen Wing<p><a href="https://meow.social/tags/BeOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BeOS</span></a>. Surely it's won some kind of symbolic war with <a href="https://meow.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a>. It's almost as if Jean-Paul Gassée knew that the only thing which could possibly trump Steve Jobs's coöption of "the Western canon" and its greatest symbolic treasures was to simplify even further. Be! It's not just an element on the periodic table, it's a command. EXIST! Be incorporated, Be, Incorporated! It's a triumph of marketing and it's saved <a href="https://meow.social/tags/HaikuOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HaikuOS</span></a>, which keeps its small flame burning. It's the most promising escape from the <a href="https://meow.social/tags/UNIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UNIX</span></a> mire, in my opinion, a way towards something less hairy and intimidating yet modular and accessible in its range of features.</p><p>But I speak as a convert, a former <a href="https://meow.social/tags/BeOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BeOS</span></a> developer. It was ever so long ago, in my post-<a href="https://meow.social/tags/Caltech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Caltech</span></a> years, and I find myself wondering if someone at 'Tech didn't decide to keep spying on what I was doing. I would have made it easy for them; I went on using my UGCS email address for years.</p><p>And I propose to help them out, magically!

blami<p>behold, my <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/haiku" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>haiku</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/haikuos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>haikuos</span></a> panasonic let’s note. I call it Haikubook. I bought this little notebook that is not made anymore from my first salary here in <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/japan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>japan</span></a>. It is not super powerful but been my workhorse for couple of years. Recently I sold/donated most of my useless modern hardware but kept this and made it my bare metal Haiku machine. It is surprising how well Haiku runs on it, incl. touchscreen and wifi card.</p>

My Thinkpad collection keeps growing and I really need to think about what to do with them all 😂

Thinkpad x60
Thinkpad x220
Thinkpad x230
Thinkpad T420 (With Libreboot)
Thinkpad T430s (My wives daily driver)
Thinkpad T480 (My second most used one)
Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen4 (With HaikuOS)
Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen6
Thinkpad T14s Gen4 AMD (My daily driver)

I really need to stop buying those (beautiful) machines.

All of them are running flavors of Linux, except eh X1Gen4, which is curreltly running on HaikuOS and the T420, which is running FreeBSD.
