Good morning everyone! I just woke up. :clouds_day: :info: News In today's maloperating system news, the #Debian project voted in favour of the pro-AI proposition, and struck down any and all proposals to limit or ban AI use. Womp, womp. Replacement #Linux distributions to switch to that have got an anti-AI policy in effect include: #ChimeraLinux (user friendly; not to be confused with ChimeraOS)#elementaryOS (user friendly)#Hyperbola GNU/Linux-libre (for silly nerds; my personal choice)#Gentoo Linux (for silly nerds) Non-Linux-based operating systems include: #HyperbolaBSD (never tried, but the community is cool)#Haiku / #HaikuOS (hell yeah) thank nyou for ur attenshun to this matter nya >~< Bai

Under #HaikuOS, graphics, wifi, etc seem to work well. Unfortunately the trackpad is non functional. As I have other machines that run Haiku well, this machine won't be pressed into service for those purposes, at least for now.

@torek@snabelen.no I kind of want to use it to write software on #HaikuOS just so I can see what it looks like when an application is put together without having to pore over all of the SDK documentation

Mozilla has granted permission to use the Firefox name for the Haiku port. It came by email to Gerasim Troeglazov (3dEyes) from Mike Kaply, copying Mozilla's Lead Counsel for IP. The question had been open since November 2024. The address to write to was in the distribution policy quoted in that thread's first post. Iceweasel stays, telemetry-free. https://www.desktoponfire.com/haikuos/928/from-pirates-to-privateers-mozilla-signs-the-letter-of-marque-for-the-firefox-name-on-haiku/ #Haiku #HaikuOS #Firefox

Haiku just gave beta6 a date: mid-August. Yet the June report still surfaces foundational bugs: an I/O scheduler flaw that could corrupt data on modern SSDs, a memory control register misinitialized at EFI boot, and Haiku Inc.'s 2025 financial report still missing. Technical accounting is punctual, financial accounting is a year behind. https://www.desktoponfire.com/haiku_inc/913/haiku-beta6-data-corruption-bug/ #HaikuOS #BeOS #OpenSource

I'm working on LANterna, a native network scanner for Haiku: every device on your LAN at a glance, with IP, hostname, open ports, vendor and device type identified via ARP, mDNS, NetBIOS, SNMP and SSDP. No Qt, no sniffing, no cloud: just POSIX sockets and BeAPI. The portable core is done and tested, the native UI still needs testing on real #Haikuos. Feedback welcome!

How do you know early when #Haikuos is preparing for a new release? It's when I start asking people to have a look at our #i18n / #translation tool and help complete translations for various languages. For beta releases, our policy is to include only languages where the translation is at least 60% complete. This time we need help to reach this in Belarusian, Croatian, Bulgarian, and Slovenian. Lithuanian and Slovak are above 60% but may need some help too.
