September 11?

It didn't

I have been using Fedora 7 to build a cross compiler for an embeded PowerPC system on kernel 2.6.18 and glibc 2.6 and I can say that Gnome 2.18 was peak Gnome.

how did so many icons fit in that low resolution.. modern screens have much higher resolutions but the amount of space for things is almost same

Cuck.

Not him but what's wrong with pre gnome3?

BeOS wasn't immediately GPL2'd after Apple chose NeXTStep as the basis for OS X.

>BeOS wasn't immediately GPL2'd
Luckily we have the superior MIT licensed Haiku now :~)

They were sold to Palm where BeOS died. Unfortunately the same thing has happened to MIPS. Instead of releasing it to the public, they ran it into the grave.

It's been stuck between R1A4.1 and R1B1 for seven years now.

NeXTSTEP > BeOS
And we have GNUSTEP...

More like it lacked security infrastructure and *memory protection*, meaning it was macos9-like relic. WinNT was simply better.

Pretty shocking that a 640x480 screen uses space so well. I guess "screen real estate" is an aspect of design, not resolution or screen size.

Haiku was usable on 1024x600 netbooks when most OSes weren't.

>I guess "screen real estate" is an aspect of design, not resolution or screen size.

You mean the people with two 32" 4K screens wasted their money?

I wouldn't say that. HiDPI when done correctly (integer scaling, fully implemented) is a major improvement.

BeOS was gorgeous, but had shitty driver support for the thought that already mattered: between cards, and worse for the things that were starting to matter: 3D cards.

They should have postponed the pc desktop release until then.

Bad management all around though, from what I read.

BeOS failed because it wasn't Microsoft. It didn't run the Microsoft products everyone used, so it failed.

Any other reason for failure is secondary to this.

Are you the same poster or another one? Check the archives next time newfag.
Nothing has changed, it's still the same shit it was last week.

Hi!

You mean forcing every program to deal with multiple physical resolutions?

No one hates the modern web more than him.

Yes. 1x and 2x are sufficient for desktop/laptop stuff. Some phones go up to 3x.

I'm sure. Just saying that he set the ball in motion.

When Jean-Louis Gassee failed to licence it to Apple?

The icons are lower resolution too, brainlet

If only he had some sort of particle accelerator that he could use as a time machine...

Not him, but I kind of suspect he might just be implying that modern UIs waste space.

Brainlet.

Pretty much this. Freedom in cyberspace needed to be curbed, and boy howdy, did they achieve just that.

I find it funny how much less confidence there is online now. What happened to cursing those aging giants of stone and steel?

They're watching and waiting for you to voice your dissent in a meaningful way that could result in tangible results. Then... poof. You're gone.

People realized you needed significant physical infrastructure to run a modern Internet.

>significant physical infrastructure to run a modern Internet
You do pay for your internet connection.

>By 2002 the number of sites copying the declaration was estimated to have dropped to 20,000. In 2004, Barlow reflected on his 1990s work, specifically regarding his optimism. His response was that "we all get older and smarter"

Because you blame everything

This pic is bullshit

It's a meme, you dip.

Is Haiku usable as a hobby os? Can I shitpost with it?

It looks really comfy...

Zuckenberg is actually 5'7

Well? Answer the question dumbdumb.

spotted the autist

it's pretty usable as a secondary OS

Makes sense, considering b1 means feature-complete as per 1.0 objectives (basically to clone beos5, if I recall correctly).
And they're close. It's likely finally happening in a few months, rather than years.
