Calling Linux distros operating systems is a very common usage.

> Mostly, it will because online identifies will be a market for lemons: there will be so many fake/expired/revoked identities being sold that the value of each one will be worth pennies, and that's not commensurate with the risk of someone commiting crimes and linking it to your government-registered identity. That would be trivially solved by using same verification mechanisms they would be used with.

Careful with that ambiguity...

I find using the LLM as a rubber duck helpful, even if, no, especially if I do not even end up pressing send. Just writing out the problem leads me to the answer.

While not a random server in the internet, here is the start of the ssh banner on my router (before the legal "fuck off")

Perhaps you should look it up yourself? Plasma is not found in flame, but it is in lightning.

Flame is what you see when gases burn in the air. As the material burns, it breaks down and releases flammable gases, which burn too, giving the effect of flame. If you have ever tried burning fine-grade steel wool, you will have seen that it burns without any flame because the iron burns directly without making gases first.

I have been looking for something like this for a long time, I am glad to see it now exists.

That's because there is a lot of videos on that page.

19/20. I'm on a MacBook, so I have a pretty good screen.

The main client is only for Haiku, but there is an old windows client that can probably be run in wine. It uses a protocol called MUSCLE.

Could it have been BeShare?

You should really try it again! Haiku has come quite far since a year ago.

How long ago did you try it out? Haiku is daily driver-ready for a lot of people, especially now that FireFox has been ported (under the name of iceweasel).

Me too! I find myself saying 'that was on HN a while ago' very often, actually.

Yes, 2025 will be the year of the Haiku desktop!

It's good to hear you are supporting Haiku. Are you around on the Haiku forum or IRC?

That's a pretty exotic machine for someone in high school! Where did you get it?

What about Netsurf? Have you tried it?

These things don't have to be bloated. For example, I wrote a web chat once, called minchat (minimal chat) [0]. The frontend is written in plain HTML, CSS and JS, totalling ~5kb. The backend is written in Rust.

There is room for programs that do not need to be installed. Examples are Flash, Java applets, and Javascript. Personally, I think some sort of UI thing based on WASM might be the way to go, but that's just my opinion. Can you think of any other way to run programs from the internet without installing them? Yes, SSH, telnet, remote access, remote X11, but with all of them, the programs are running on a different computer, whereas with web apps, they're running on your own computer, without costing them money, other than hosting costs.

I never thought I'd be speaking for web apps, but I guess I'm not, not really. What I'm saying, is there is a niche, and that is currently filled by web apps.

Hi Liam,

What about dynamic websites? For example, a platform-independent chat app. Javascript has a place, although that place would be better filled by another language. PHP... yes, PHP can be completely replaced by other server side frameworks.

I have a lilygo T-Deck, I use it for writing in bed with a custom text editor [0]. It has a surprisingly great typing experience, and I can get up to a decent speed. Typing can be good on handheld devices.

Do you think you could compile it to WASM and make it into a browser extension?

Perhaps number of comments, or number of non-flamewar comments, or proportion of flamewar comments together with number of comments?

The name gosub reminds me of the BASIC command, and at first I was expecting it to be written in FreeBASIC or some other BASIC dialect.

According to Jewish law, it is, in the case of a Jewish father and a non-Jewish mother, the child is not a Jew.

I agree. I really like the ALT shortcuts on Haiku, and I remap my external keyboard on macOS so command is mapped to ALT rather than Super.
