Ooooh, I always wanted to use BeOS.
BeOS is my favorite desktop OS of all time. Nowadays I run Linux on all my machines, but there are things that it was better and faster at on a Pentium 75 with 16MB of RAM than today’s multi GHz and multi GB systems running Linux, MacOS or Windows. I’m not sure how much of that you will see in a demo like this, as is was more day to day things from back when we cared about local files and applications and weren’t permanently connected to the internet. But still, it was amazing.
BeOS was pretty neat. It’s almost a shame that it was a proprietary dead end.
The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeBox was also quite an impressive thing on paper in its day though you kind of knew it was going to be unobtainable and/or too expensive.
sj_zeroHaiku has come a long way, I’m told, but I haven’t tried it yet (and I don’t think I own anything that can run it on bare metal)
Doesnt seem to work for me. Typing “menu” causes the page to lock up or reload.
seathruYou can ssh in to menu@tty.sdf.org, but that’s also going pretty slow at the moment.

Seems DDOSsed by curious people like me right now
lemmy has unlocked power: Hug of Death
I’m imagining you’re actually using the vintage computer and its just screaming at having been connected to the internet
Same, computer. Same.
https://connect.sdf.org/ I get an error message on login as “menu”. Does anyone have an idea why?:
Edit: Ah yes, probably too many accessing it at the same time.
