I was thinking of BeOS last week. I always wanted a BeBox but was a poor highschooler

I installed BeOS on my PowerPC Macintosh in the days right around the NeXT acquisition. It was a spiffy OS, at least for a teen nerd without much knowledge beyond Mac OS.

It does still live on, somewhat, in its spiritual successor, Haiku: https://www.haiku-os.org/
Its last release was in December 2022.

dang, I was hoping this would create an actual linked post on Lemmy instead of a text post with the link inside
maybe that can't be done from Mastodon

YouTube videos cannot be embedded. At least not yet.

ah ok, good to know!
the text post w/ link inside is still pretty cool from other fediverse applications anyway

But I am curious how embedded media like images, videos and audio look like for you on Mastodon.
Image:
GIF:
Video:
Audio:
These are all nicely embedded on Lemmy. At least on the website.
Direct comment link so you can check it through Lemmy: https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/1084675

I actually used beos as a daily driver for a few months. This was maybe around 2000 or 2001. WinME crashed a lot for me and I couldn’t make linux detect my winmodem. Installed beos and everything was great. Dual booted with windows 98 when I wanted to play StarCraft.
Moved to Linux soon after but I will always remember those great days.
