I just do whatever I want


That's fine, but being a social platform, I assume everyone is a caricature of themselves. Other creators have discussed here the near moronic poster/thumb images getting more clicks vs less overly dramatic versions. So at this point, I assume that the closer to a program that would fit in Idiocracy television programming is the ultimate goal to get those precious likes.


I know it's fine, because they're my videos and I can do whatever I want in them lol


okay, so you're not a caricature of yourself and it's really you


yes, correct!


I did watch -n 1 'sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' to try and get around it. I think it's working, because boy is it noisy lol


I'm used to referring to lots of IO as "noisy" or "chatty", but then I imagine sitting next to 30 floppy drives and that brings it to another level.



This is the greatest thing that anyone has done with any computer hardware anywhere, ever. This is more impressive to me than the moon landing. :-)


Make sure you check out his other videos including other compositions he's done.

My favourite hardware music is this Radiohead cover from 2008. Blew my mind at the time

The scanners!! This is incredible!


Ooh I’d love to see/hear a video of that if you’re willing! :)


I've been making videos showing off my collection of old computers, and finally repairing a lot of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJEHSliAisk


I got my seed round from acclaimed angel investor FF&S

Don't let startup cash kill your idea before you give it a chance. Creative people can test an idea for next to nothing.

I have Haiku as sole OS on a Thinkpad, not my primary machine but some days I'll work the whole day on it no problem - it's a really enjoyable experience in fact.


Mr. Page, it's good to hear you like our work! Perhaps you could lend us some assistance in our world-domination goals...? ;)


I haven't tried, and I won't at least for a few months. But I looked at the list of installed apps, and I couldn't find a calendaring (iCal) app. If that exists, I and many others I think, could use Haiku "for real". Realistically, I only need a terminal and SSH (check) a web browser (check), email (check) and something with iCal. Since many organizing solutions (such as Todoist - no affilition, I just use it) has iCal integration, iCal gives you a way to integrate and sync with your phone, be it iOS or Android.

So if I had all that, I could use Haiku as my home/hobby tinkering machine. I would still need a Mac, Linux or Windows machine to do some other heavy lifting, but I already have three computers at home, so no problem.


There's a relatively sophisticated Calendar app already, indeed: https://github.com/HaikuArchives/Calendar/

It had working Google Calendar sync at one point, dunno if it still is. It could definitely use some work, though.


I'm sure all three users revolted.


> hardly anyone is actually using it

Source?


Kinda hard to prove a negative.


The same can be said for starting a business in the first place.

A business is "wise" to keep its humanity and treat other people with respect.


I don't know exactly why, but the indignity of this story really gets to me.

Does having a desk at a big tech company really strip your humanity to the point where you're OK sending messages like these to another person?

How do you treat other human beings with so little respect?
