I’m thinking about writing a case for .NET/Mono, yes it’s Microsoft, but I like it, and I think it’s definitely worthy of recognition.If there was a similar system, that was fully libre software, I’d do it, but everybody in this community is so hooked on writing things from raw C code, I haven’t got the time to completely write a new framework/platform, find GUI libraries I like, and if not, make new ones, and then program the whole goddamn thing.With VB .NET I could do the same thing, to the same level of quality (arguable), in less time.That’s my personal opinion.

A friend of mine was kind enough to give me a Johnny Cash vinyl from the mid 70’s today.Just been playing it on a loop.

Gimme your POSIX complaints and I’ll turn those frowns upside down.I’m writing a UNIX system for fun, Open/UX will be a perfect blend of A/UX and GNU Herd, GPL Licensed and utilising a micro kernel design; but using a early MacOS/GEM-esque interface as standard.Fire ‘em at me, I’ll read through them in the morning.#posix #unix #gnu #apple #project #question Boosts Especially Appreciated!

@koakuma Because to design something else would take much more time and effort and skill I do not have, as much as I would like to do something new, I can’t do it.Also, I’m not sure I quite follow, you mean have a cross-platform open, package format?

Considering making Open/UX V7 sys. call compatible, number your thoughts on this topic as ‘1.)’.Also: Open/UX isn’t too great of a name anymore, need something new, number your suggestions ‘2.)’ and I’ll shortlist them, then I’ll take it to a final poll.#posix #system7 #unix #operatingsystem #project #helpBoosts Especially Appreciated!

Right, I think I need to refocus a bit.@vertigo had the idea of moving closer to Plan9 and taking cues from that for a Unix variant, which is a goodshout, but seeing as my knowledge on Plan9 is poor, I feel like shying away from it.See, I need to draw up a design doc for this, it’s not UNIX, not Plan9, and not DOS; but it takes cues from all three.No, we don’t need another UNIX clone: we need something new built from scratch.

Just FYI, I’m starting to put serious stuff on Medium, which will also be mirrored in some way as WriteFreely, Gemini and Plaintext content.https://medium.com/@josephjohnharley

Just going back through my older Medium stuff and can confirm that ‘The Overlooked Beauty of Brutalist Architecture’ is unequivocally shit and will bore you into a mild coma.https://medium.com/@josephjohnharley

RIght I'm going on a fucking text editor rant again.For god's sake, I cannot STAND the people who religiously insist on using Emacs and Vi, and then seem to think that they are masters of the known computing universe just for using it.Sure, I like simplistic editors as much as the next guy, but if we're talking, I don't know, several hours minimum to understand the bloody fucking key bindings then goodnight vienna my frined!In general, people can use what they want, I don't give a shit, but it's forcing it on me that pisses me off; you'll be sitting writing some code and then some dude will come up to you from the side of the room and then if it takes you more than 3 seconds to do something, with a keyboard or (god forbid) a mouse, they'll go: 'Oh yeah I could do this way quicker in Emacs with the key bindings' or 'there's a Vim command for that...'NO SHIT SHERLOCK! Sorry to break it to you but your key bindings take ages to learn, give you RSI, and then all your packages are written in Lisp! The most annoying language of them all! Not even C++ is that bad (bold statement I know).And you, Vim power user, your directional keys haven't changed since, oh I don't know, the 1970s! AND: Your editor requires COMMANDS to use!So what do you use? I hear you ask, well...1.) Atom2.) JOE3.) VSCode4.) THE5.) MS-DOS Editor (got to hand it to MS, that thing was a thing of beauty, simple, easy to learn, didn't take up too much space, well integrated; was maybe a little slow but who cares)AMENDMENT: I wrote this at night, and literally do not remember writing it, I am publishing it purely for comedic effect, I was overzealous when writing this, hopefully it doesn't truly offend anyone.

@zudlig I’m not saying Vi is bad, I’m just saying in bad in a world where we have arrow keys, WM and DEs on almost everything, and the disc space to go bigger.However, in the context of early personal computers and 1970s UNIX mainframes with more obsolete terminals, it’s perfect.

I love C++New favourite language.Has all the pros of C but an easier to understand syntax and a wealth of extra OOP features.
