Thanks @humdinger, that’s much better. It probably didn’t help that I’m using a 4k monitor, so had upped the font size by a couple of points. I didn’t notice how huge it was until I saw the post on my phone!

It’s hard to make buzz when there’s next to nothing to make noise about these days. Spread the word about what? Beta 1, which is still in the oven for who knows how long? Or people porting 3rd-party apps to “unsupported” gcc4 builds, because there’s too much work or it’s not possible to “downgrade” enough to build them on our “officially supported” ancient old gcc2 compiler. Case in point? LibreOffice.
I support your initiative. I just wish things were better for our community.
Things don’t need to buzz to work fine. Things need devs to work and devs don’t need buzz.

I think it’ll help if people stopped spreading false information, like that the official Haiku image only runs gcc2 compiled applications. It has been a hybrid for a very long time that comes with a modern gcc5.4. Web+ is gcc5-only, as is every Qt and Java app; all run on the official gcc2hybrid Haiku.

This website is a pain in the ass. For a start, I have to enter a password to get in.
Then there are all these people who are trying to stop people who want to do stuff
- from doing it.
The whole idea of web based collaboration is flawed.
I am relying on you lot to fix Haiku and keep it moving until it’s ready.
Most important- it needs to be able to handle LAZARUS and Free Pascal.
LAZARUS means reviving the dead - If you don’t do LAZARUS you ARE dead.
I’m working on a sytem to replace the Internet so you can collaborate on your own pc and have it replicate to the community - WITHOUT ANYONE STANDING IN YOUR WAY.
When it’s finished, it will port via Lazarus. Until then it will only be available on Linux.
Anyone who can see the problems caused by the internet understands there needs to be something new.
BeOs (and now Haiku) hold the key.
Also, Minix may take over, if Haiku fails. That is the next in line of the modern UNIX like replacements in the wings.
Keep up the good work, and heads down, bums up to y’all
Your expression is very poor. Why do you have to write like that? What is something like that? That does not change anything.
Who can stop anyone from doing something? Would be nice if one understands what it is, for example by a reference to the trigger.
Why should not you have to register in a website/forum? Only so you can avoid unnecessary spam.
What exactly does that mean? If someone asks for help, he will get help in so far as anyone can.
Who needs to be able to use lazarus? You? Why do you speak for all?
Why?
How should that look exactly? Why does everyone have to have that? How do you think everyone is waiting for you and your idea?
What is the probability of your project being finished? Should not one have to have something, if this already exists?
BeOS is dead sience 2000. Why Haiku hold the key?
On which task, which was not known to me, should Haiku fail? Did I miss something? I thought it is a hobby project of free developers who create a single user operating system.
Is this one kind of revenge? I do not understand you. But it is nice to hear that the work of the developers behind haiku after all the criticism of your contribution received a little praise.
Conclusion
I’m sorry that I have to write so, but I can not suffer such contributions.
I always hear “I need”, but no one can do it self. Or calls something into life to make this possible.
In addition, someone is working on lazarus: Announcement: New/updated in HaikuDepot (2023) - #33

My system is now finished. I am just waiting for you all to stop complaining and asking so many questions and get on and get ported the right programs so all the right people can get to use the RIGHT OS - then you can use my new system. Until then …
See you next year

Oh, and one more thing … please don’t make the mistake of trying to emulate all the other OS’s and making Haiku multi-user. Then you are all dead in the water. Linux is the multiuser king of all and nobody will use Haiku for multi-user in place of that.
You have, and I say HAVE, to stay single user. That is the great future of the desktop. Multi-user is an old idea from way back when you could not afford a computer for every person. Now, my own laptop has 4 computers in it - all working at the same time to squashfs my file system. If you want to make sure all that works to perfection inside a multi-user environment - be my guest - as Dirty Harry might say …
And even more one more thing …
I also have more than two computers - and I don’t ever log in to them. And I network them togerther and sync them - soon over the internet - and they have no user names and no passwords. And nobody can access them because MY FRONT DOOR IS LOCKED.
Just like my car.
Don’t sweat the security - get rid of it. Physical security is all we ever need
(and a REAL HAIKUER doesn’t need that, either).
Imhad a crazy girlfrie d who try to look in my computers with linux… Thanks to passwords xD she can’t
