Hasn’t this already been firmly established quite some time ago?

This was my first thought: when will we get an arm based framework laptop?

I would immediately leave and get as far away from my home as possible, since that’s where they’re coming to look for me.

There’s a reason that your instance (and others) has defederated from hexbear.

i don’t think hexbear is a good sample group for the average lemmy user nor representative of lemmy users a whole. you might do better sampling lemmy.world, or assembling a meta poll from the top 5 or top 10 instances.

Haiku - based on BeOS

“inspired by” would be more accurate. there’s no original BeOS code in Haiku for legal reasons (other than the interface, which was open-sourced with the release of BeOS 5). All backwards-compatibility with original BeOS software is (impressively) reverse-engineered. Haiku OS is, itself, original software made to - in every way - look, feel, and operate just like BeOS did.

edit: i had a buddy in high school who had a BeBox. it was like having the best of a Mac and a PC in one machine. it really was a spectacular machine and OS. i really wish Apple had picked it up, but they went with NeXTSTEP instead, which, i admit, was still a pretty solid choice.

Do you want an AI Tamagotchi?

I heard this in Jack McBrayer‘s voice

It’s about time

Imagine how delicious that would be

Mmmm… fried T-Rex drumstick

Look, I know im being critical, but I’m sure it will still have high ridership. If I still lived in Minneapolis, I’m sure I would probably take it.

You’re not wrong. Plus, the trip on the train is certainly quite scenic.

yeah, i used to live in MInneapolis. even in the summer (the not-snow/ice season), with good weather and traffic, it’s a 5-6 hour drive to chicago.

i can see it being ok for overnight, actually. like, i’m not against the idea, it’s just that it services a narrower range of travel needs due to its long duration.

i’m from NYC, so i’m perfectly happy with train travel, but 7 hours is a long-ass trip.

Centaurs are Klingons. Got it.

Ok, but $40 for 7 hours? You can get a 1-hour flight for $129

We really need more high-speed rail

my cat Holy Lord Emperor Finley the Magnificent and Soft wants to know wtf you mean by “once”?

pretty, but mid-air projection holography is still just smoke & mirrors (literally).

i’m not sure that i agree with this at all. Microsoft, itself, has been having issues lately, and i don’t think this is a Bing vs Google search thing. But i believe those issues are temporary.

Overall, the direction that Google is taking with its search engine is probably a bigger threat, considering, i suspect, people really aren’t going to like it.
