Kris Dreemurr (they/them) of the Pnictogen Wing<a href="https://meow.social/tags/BeOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BeOS</a>. Surely it's won some kind of symbolic war with <a href="https://meow.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Apple</a>. It's almost as if Jean-Paul Gassée knew that the only thing which could possibly trump Steve Jobs's coöption of "the Western canon" and its greatest symbolic treasures was to simplify even further. Be! It's not just an element on the periodic table, it's a command. EXIST! Be incorporated, Be, Incorporated! It's a triumph of marketing and it's saved <a href="https://meow.social/tags/HaikuOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HaikuOS</a>, which keeps its small flame burning. It's the most promising escape from the <a href="https://meow.social/tags/UNIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UNIX</a> mire, in my opinion, a way towards something less hairy and intimidating yet modular and accessible in its range of features.But I speak as a convert, a former <a href="https://meow.social/tags/BeOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BeOS</a> developer. It was ever so long ago, in my post-<a href="https://meow.social/tags/Caltech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Caltech</a> years, and I find myself wondering if someone at 'Tech didn't decide to keep spying on what I was doing. I would have made it easy for them; I went on using my UGCS email address for years.And I propose to help them out, magically!
