Ah yes, the mode that doesn't burn retinas out is a fad.

just lol if you run your screens at full brightness / contrast

hmm, yisss - I'll crank up my screen brightness, then make everything black so that it's not too bright. Perfect.

not seeing floaters all the time a total fad

that being said grey on grey causes just as much strain as having your retinas blasted with normal black on white. discord is the most aggravating example

whereas most unixes are actually intended to be used by people, serenity is the gently caress-you-got-mine of operating systems

there are other neat hobby unixes that are actually usable but serenity probably has both the most impressive GUI and the shittiest attitude. "if you can't build it yourself this OS isn't for you" is a horrendous way to get people to use your open source project lol

btrfs on 5.14 will have support for send/recv of compressed data, as is on disk. woho etc

in other news, that opengl-implemented-on-top-of-vulkan driver (zink) also gets lot of press lately, having landed some suballocator thingie that sped things up considerabely and support for opengl compatibility contexts. good news for arm socs i guess, less junk to implement

since we're on the topic here's some other interesting hobby unixes

sortix (https://sortix.org): custom x86-64 unix kernel with maximum POSIX standards compliance as a goal. userspace is mostly gnu and openbsd ports, it can build itself, and the website runs on it

toaruOS (https://github.com/klange/toaruos): complete custom x86-64 unix implementation from kernel to userspace. "not implemented here" is the primary goal. includes a graphical interface and full alpha blended compositor, and a lightweight, portable python derivative that can be embedded in literally anything like Lua

both of these projects are primarily written by one person each with the occasional contribution from other people in the osdev community. some absolutely neat stuff done by them, to the point that both of those OSes are verging on "production ready" for various applications. I only hope one day my hobby OS project can be as potentially useful to people in the real world as those two

Total number of tickets: 9232 - closed: 8543 - active: 689

Essentially, a fully working and stable operating system. A viable replacement for BeOS R5 (and later).

i realize it's a shoestring project and all, but beos R5 was released in year y2k and they have the haiku R1/beta5 milestone set as due in july 2022. we're closin' in on a quarter century of haiku trying to replace beos
