While there is something to be said about Haiku’s current state bearing similarities to Linux decades ago (in both good and bad ways), prolly the most important aspect is the feeling of community. One of Haiku’s greatest aspects which it shares with early Linux is that people here are all moving in the same general direction of improving the OS, possibly even more focused given that there is just one system. That being said, I for one am glad that Haiku isn’t exactly like early Linux where you need to use the terminal for everything.
No editing X server configs, thanks. Would very much like to forget all that.
Yeah, that was hell. I always wondered why Linux devs told me it’s unavoidable when Windows gfx worked out of the box (on the same computer).
In his video Kent nearly only talks about non-technical aspects, how better old Linux days were before big business and politics set in. He also claims that unavoidably some day in the future Haiku will be sh…, too. I don’t agree. In some aspects Linux still is cool today, and Haiku will still be cool in the future.
As these links can’t be played in Web+, would it be possible to also include a “link” to the videos so one could try to open with another Browser/Application?
Regarding your MacBook, can you check which Wi-Fi model exactly (i.e. vendor:device string) you have? It can be seen using ioreg -r -n ARPT | grep IOName in MacOS or listdev in Haiku.
In another topic we’re discussing that the Broadcom chip found in MacBook 2015 might be supported once @waddlesplash ports the corresponding driver (but you have a MacBook from 2014, so the Wi-Fi card can be a different one):
You can right-click on the video title superimposed at the top of the preview-thumbnail, copy the link and use in another app or feed ot to yt-dlp etc.
My respons was targetted on the youtube links showing up here, clicking on them in WebPositive doesn’t work, so having a link to copy and paste in another app is helpful (was replied to already by @humdinger )
