What I do know is this: it's a good OS, it's got a lot of potential, and if I can get that web browser issue taken care of (along with that weird issue with it not seeing my laptop's built-in display), I'll almost definitely be switching to it as my primary OS.

Honestly, I think that latter point is gonna be what hurts Haiku (at least for me) long term. If it can get a good web browser (including WebPositive being better for everyday use), I think it could work. It's got almost everything else I could want (Krita, LMMS, LibreOffice, even a JVM for Minecraft). It just needs a web browser that can handle what I want to throw at it. But, it's still in beta, so there's definitely time. Maybe I'll come back to try and get Pale Moon working. Who knows?

So, some final thoughts on Haiku before I swap back to Arch. I really like it! It's a very interesting system. I could definitely see myself running this once it gets a proper release. There are really just two big problems that damp that enthusiasm:
1) It doesn't seem to work right with my laptop's radeon (it doesn't seems to see the internal display) and
2) Lack of a good web browser. Unfortunately, WebPositive and Otter just aren't there. But if it could get Firefox or Pale Moon?
1/2

Alright. Pale Moon is a no-go. (I mean, it's *not*, strictly speaking, but I don't have the spoons to work out build errors right now.) Ah, well.

Right, so Otter definitely feels better than WebPositive did. I'm now, just for the heck of it, going to try to compile Pale Moon (the browser I normally use) just to see if I can get it working.

Oddly, though, the YouTube video I had open in the screenshot played fine. It didn't studder or anything like that. The page itself felt awful, but the video worked no problem.

(And, incidentally, no, it wasn't just that I was playing a youtube video. I've closed it and this still feels awful.)

And, to be clear, it is just WebPositive that's lagging. Typing this is unbearable, but if I open, say, Pe (the included text editor) up next to this, it feels just fine. So it's something weird about WebPositive in particular. I may go try Otter or NetSurf (other browsers I can easily install) and see how they feel.

Hello from Haiku!

I have no plans to switch over to Haiku as a daily OS. (Not yet, anyways, but maybe one day!) I am running it on physical hardware, though. Specifically, I'm running it on my main laptop on a spare hard drive. WebPositive's a bit laggy, but, otherwise, it feels pretty nice. Maybe one day I will actually be able to run it instead of Arch.

In case you're curious, this is apropos of nothing. It was kinda just a random thought I had.

Particle physics (elementary particles)
Nuclear physics (atoms and their constituents)
Chemistry (atoms and molecules)
Quantum physics (atoms/molecules and smaller)
---The line of visibility*---
Microbiology (cells and their constituents)
Biology, Classical physics (everyday stuffs)
Geology, Meteorology (planetary scale processes)
Astrophysics (planets, stars, etc.)
Cosmology (the universe)

*Kinda. There are some ways of "seeing" molecules.

Seriously, fuck all these art bots that just post images with no source. If your bot posts something I like, I, bare minimum, might wanna tell the artist I like it. I probably want to see more from the artist. To not include where I can actually find the art and artist? To have a bot that spams out other people's art without giving anyone a way to find the original? Stop 👏 fucking 👏doing 👏 that 👏

One of my major frustrations here (or, rather, on the federated timeline) is when people/bots don't include a source for art. Obviously, if you're posting your own art, that's fine. Even commisions (though I would like to know who did it). But if you post art that you found without a source or any indication of who did it and where I can find it, just fuck the hell off. This is *especially* true if you write a bot this way. I can ask you where you found something. I can't ask a bot that.

Leaving a 1 star review of husky for not blocking computer fairies during the 2 seconds they decided to have a block list

Also, re: uploaded images say "tusky"
1) I'm 95% certain that tusky doesn't add an image description that says tusky, so great fucking job, dipshits; and
2) Your users deserve the harassment at this point
